Questions

Don't forget about the dragon head!

About 2ft^3, with spines about 10ft in length
Figure 400lbs?
worth about 4kgp

• still in progress, it will be ready when they come back

Leather -> Cloaks
Does Jack have plans for these? Otherwise Functions as (he just took enough to make 1):

• +2 Cloak of Resistance
• Fire Resistance 10
• 1/day as an immediate action, the wearer of the cloak can cause it to flash with flames as another creature touches the wearer or strikes the wearer with a melee attack. These flames deal 1d8+5 points of fire damage to the creature that touched the wearer. A target that succeeds at a DC 15 Reflex save takes half the total damage.

Don't forget about the dragon!

It needs to be cleared out of Kaledorei so people can rebuild

• It also needs to be cleared out so Avo Adrallmion can resurrect it later :)

The Sapphire Torch

• Start in The Sapphire Torch hideout in Cenorias after learning that Midas and Fulvia are working with the Scarlet Circle
  • Everyone but Astrid is here
  • Still haven't pointed out explicitly that the Scarlet Circle is connected to Thynnon
    • Freyja has pointed out that they're "one small part of a hand that's looking to destabilize the region"
    • Though we do know that Aurelia Stormrune and Nathaniel Fawkesmoore have been working together, and Nathaniel was closely connected to the Circle
    • Freyja has also pointed out that she believes they're connected to Thynnon, and that she believes their goal is to re-take parts of Tarawn
  • Need to have more details about how Fulvia is betraying Cenorias
    • We know she's been meeting with several Thynnon officials off the books. While meeting with officials from other countries is her job, there's been an uptick in unannounced visits
      • What are they talking about
      • [?]
    • Diplomats from Qilaw are probably getting a little worried, since they've probably noticed too
  • Need to have more details about how Midas is betraying Cenorias
    • Money that's supposed to be going to various public projects (including Kaledorei's reconstruction, and Nathaniel's pet project) is actually going to sprucing up the military and defenses on the western border
      • This hasn't gone unnoticed by Qilaw either, though they've been assured its just routine maintenance
    • He's begun researching the possibility of magical weaponry, now that an alliance with Thynnon is on the table
      • No wizards though, the human element brings up questions of loyalty

To Kaledorei

As they leave, they're going to run into Judas preparing the humanitarian aid effort - clerics, caravans of supplies, some adventurers for protection (what else[?]), and greets them.

• Does he want them to travel with him?
  • If so, we need to have a buuuunch of stuff prepared for him
  • But would be a good idea

They're going to be passing the scorched town of Kaledorei, probably need to write something up on how they're recovering

To Bremoor

As they leave Kaledorei, its horror time

• Describe the [Red Forest]

A haunting stillness hangs in the air, broken only by the occasional rustle of leaves or the mournful call of unseen creatures. The very absence of sound is unsettling, as if the forest itself has absorbed the voices of those who ventured too far.

The Inn

PCs run into Therlin Goblinbane running the inn, seems she ran away from Kaledorei and has setup shop in this abandoned Wayfarer's Inn east of town. Warm beds and ale for refugees, and heroes of course!

• Something about the ale tastes a little off, Therlin says its because the ingredients aren't up to snuff, since traders aren't coming around anymore, she's having to make do with what she can find
