Moving Along

Session Date: February 13, 2010

"Movin' right along in search of good times and good news,
With good friends you can't lose,
This could become a habit!
Opportunity knocks once let's reach out and grab it (yeah!),
Together we'll nab it,
We'll hitchhike, bus or yellow cab it!"-Muppet Movie

Frost 4, 53
The party rests in the tunnels outside of Norn proper. During this time Safiria sends a letter and gets a letter. The letter she gets back from Thorlok says the followings:

1. He is amazed that she survived the ordeal.
2. He will not be having a personal meeting with her at this time.
3. He will consider recompensing Safiria for her missing gear after the current crisis with Hastalon is resolved.
4. Since the party is so diplomatic he can't see any harm in providing the party with information about Hastalon. It's not like the party can make things worse. He provides information about dock workers in Hastalon that he has had some contact with in the past.
5. Winyar's demonstration in cleaning up the sludge was very helpful.

See evidence of mounted raiders from Hastalon. See evidence of groups of booted humanoids. The humanoids had been traveling from the northeast, near the borderlands of the dragon lands.

Party travels. Party sees a cart that looks like it had been attacked. As they approach it, four dragon-born like humanoids leap out of hollows in the earth and attack. Safiria is hit early in the fight, knocking her cloak aside. She falls off of her horse, having convulsions as the sunlight burns off the necrotic sludge. Winyar and Verian ride to assist her.

The rest of the party fight the monsters. As each of the monsters are killed they self destruct in some way. The party inspects the remains and determines that the creatures were "draconians"- a species born from dragon eggs where the eggs are subjects to magical rituals to hasten the aging process of the eggs in order to produce instant shock troops. The last time draconians had been produced was at the end of the war between the dragons and the tieflings.
