Teh End - December 22, 2017

 - Christmas Crème Brulée


EPILOGUES

Sharai Tunuvian - Evocation Wizard
- Sharai goes to check out the school that is under construction, and meet some of the people who will be the administrators and instructors
- She decides that she will teach at the school and then have adventures on school breaks, rather than Indiana Jones

Felosyal Nilo - Former Urchin Housebreaker
Felosyal in the aftermath of saving the world from certain doom, decides to put her skills to use in rebuilding her childhood home, Arrandale. While construction and brute strength might not be her strong points, the need for supplies to be negotiated and their transport to be guarded cannot be overstated. The travel and connections also provide ample opportunities for building trade connections in preparation for setting up a trade guild, with the intention of being the first established in the rebuilt city someday. Not a thieves guild, a trade guild (yeah.... okay...).

Felosyal works closely with her childhood friend, Captain Amastacia, in coordinating the cleanup and organization of the rebuilding. She also picks up some tips on new city secrets in Arrandale that have come into fruition since she left. Felosyal's stealthy nature and winged cloak allow her to supervise efforts with an iron fist, or an iron dagger as the case may be.

She finds several urchins hidden in the city ruins, stranded by the now extinguished darkness that had been living on a diet of rodents and stolen leftovers from the Elven troops and abandoned homes. She takes these urchins under her wings and recruits them as workers, having them run errands in exchange for battle training and safe keeping. Felosyal believes that if they were able to avoid the threat of the Drow, they will probably make excellent soldiers someday. Or thieves.

Thessalie Groundswallow - Cleric of Mishakal 
- After spending some time with her family and getting Eldon over the trauma of being Resurrected, Thessalie spends time thinking and praying to figure out what else she might need to do to fix the situation she, her friends, and Eldon have caused.
- Step 1: Arrange a meeting with the King of Rhoanor to cast Greater Restoration on him to break his curse connection to the now destroyed Mouth of Lellzutho
- Step 2: Convince the leaders of the two human nations and the elven nation to have written diplomatic rules (a treaty, but she's not really a diplomat) to prevent future wars
- Step 3: Encourage trade and commerce between the nations because nations who trade are less likely to start wars which would end commerce
- Step 4: Spend the rest of her life visiting various peoples in the nations and trying to solve whatever problems might occur in the area such as outbreaks of sickness, floods that might displace populations, or famine because happy people also don't start wars
- Once she's nearing the end of her life, she would ask her old companions who are still in their elven youth to help her find and destroy the Sword of Lellzutho that they hid so many decades ago. That way if they don't succeed it's not a young person in their prime being petrified by the magical disease.
- From their she heads west to visit the Dwoids again. They may or may not build a tiny robot and upload her consciousness into it. Sharai might know, but she's not telling.

In the World
- The civilians of the House of Dalen area were overrun by the orcs. Some surrendered and ceded the lands while fleeing to lands still controlled by humans. Others could not suffer an orc to live and went down fighting. So ended the Morgan clan.
-With so many more resources at their disposal the orcs fought less and built fortifications and more permanent settlements creating a rough civilization of their own for the first time. In need of building supplies and other goods in their new towns and started making polite(ish) inquiries in the nearby human settlements to begin trade. Their diplomatic scouts found an orc employed by a trading company and hired him to be an intermediary for their needs and goods while the humans are still wary. Eaglesham becomes a flourishing town as they trade more and more goods with the orc nation with Orgul leading the diplomatic front without ever actually realizing.
- Gerard stayed friendly with the Groundswallow clan for centuries after checking in with Thessalie and meeting Eldon and her parents, providing them with exotic goods for trade in return for old books, maps, and bits of information. Many generations later, most of the Groundswallows have forgotten that Gerard is a dragon and not just another biggun, but they do marvel at how he never seems to age.
- Eldon shakes off the effects of being Resurrected, but he is changed by the experience. His connection with Chaos does extend his lifetime a bit, but the bigger change is to his personality how his attention span and impulsiveness is greatly increased. He helps his father and then his brother with the expansion of the trading caravan, but disappears to investigate treasure rumors and other interesting tidbits for months at time before returning, but he never gets into as much trouble as he did on his first adventure.

Teh End.

On the Tibia - December 08, 2017

- Cat vet stories

- While Sharai burns the majority of the formerly animated Eldon-Abomination-Skeleton, Thessalie examines a tibia and determines that it's down to about 30% evilness and 70% normal Eldon-halfing person.
- T casts Greater Restoration on the tibia, and it's down to about 2% evilness.
- Marshall Kelwynn tells Thessalie that for her help eliminating the Dark Elf threat to the surface, his superiors have permitted him to offer her any help or materials she needs to bring back her brother. She very gratefully gives him a materials list and asks if it would be possible to have it ready for her  the next day. She wants to cast Greater Restoration on the tibia one more time before she brings Eldon back.
- Felosyal wanders off and goes back to gambling with off duty soldiers
- Sharai finishes burning the other skeletal remains, scoops them into the bag provided by T, then goes back to verablly sparring with Rychell
- Thessalie Sends to Gerard, "We eliminated the Drow threat! The Necromancer aide creating Darkness is dead. He had my brother's remains. Elves are to help Resurrect him. How're you?"
- Gerard returns, "Congratulations on your success! I have recovered my strength. There is a new dragon interested in the now vacant lair. Hopefully he will integrate well."
- The day passes.
- In the evening, FST are sitting around the campfire after dinner, and there is a popping noise. An elf in a fancy robe has Teleported to their vicinity.
- S jumps and the elf walks over to her gives her a bag, tells her that her package has been delivered and then pops back out.
- The lovely leather worked bag is magicky.
- S throws it over T while she is excitedly asks if it's magicky since it clearly came from a a wizard.
- T disappears to her waist into the small bag.
- S takes the bag back off of T and sticks her arm into it to the shoulder and manages to dig a letter from Tholnor. There is also a letter from her mother and the local Mage's Guild as well as a golden broach signifying her new title of "Senior Wizard". (See below.)
- Felosyal shoots an arrow into the bag, which disappears with no damage to the bag.
- T offers to make her new broach glow like her holy symbol does, but S politely (for S) turns her down. "We could be glowy buddies!" "No. Just no."
- The next morning T casts Greater Restoration on the tibia again, then she uses the provided materials to cast Resurrection.
- The bone floats to the height it would be in a halfling's body, then tendrils extend from the bone into a full skeleton. Then muscles and organs form in the proper locations before skin grows over all. Then there is a naked halfing with at least somewhat of a family resemblance to T laying there unconscious and naked, though his hair is now silver, gray, and straight.
- S throws her cloak over him, and agrees to go asking after clothes for him.
- T checks his vitals, and he seems fine. As she's messing with him, he wakes up.
- S and Eldon chat a bit by the fire while she uses Detect Magic quietly on him. He seems to still have a connection to the Chaos Plane. Like an umbilical cord or a tether.
- T Sends to her mother, "Mumsy, I've got Eldon here with me. He's whole, and I'll get him home to you. Where is that right now, anyway? Love you!"
- Cora responds, "I'm so glad you found Eldon! We're still camped in Colebrook, but we were considering making for Fort Armistan."
- T then casts Planar Ally and asks for Omrel, Aasimar of Mishakal.
- Omrel says that the tether to the Chaos plane is now a part of Eldon's soul. The only way to remove the tether would be to remove Eldon. He does however remove the ashes leftover from the evil-skeleton-Eldon and destroys them permanently.
- T introduces Eldon to the Marshall then they say good bye.
- S goes to Rychell and show off the Senior Wizard clasp-broach thing (maybe rub his face in it a bit)
- EFST go a little bit away and S casts a Teleport spell to get to just outside of Colebrook.
