11. A New Mission Report
General Summary
12th of Deepsnow, 406 P.A.
The party scries on V and sees a market square in a small town. There is a building nearby with a sign proclaiming it "The Royal Bizarre".The party attempts to gather information on the location from some of their allies. Niven speak with Vennah, who is unable to aid them. Guthor and Eccaia head to Grenzlinie in the hopes of speaking with NEWWT, but upon their arrival they are informed that the group has been sent to Rouyenne on a mission. There have been reports of a blue dragon attacking towns along the eastern coast. They decide to aid in the refugee camps and ask around about the Royal Bizarre. They are told it is a store in Did's Point.
Using the voyager staff, the party attempts to teleport to the market place they witnessed.
They find themselves in a small town and are almost immediately confronted by the guard, demanding to see their license for use of such arcana. Proclaiming themselves emissaries from a foreign land, they manage to talk their way out of the arrest. The leave town (after being warned about a haunted forest nearby) and teleport back to The Jungle House where they spend the evening.
Niven begins to set up a teleportation circle in Tuisan's room (cause he's not using it anyway)
13th of Deepsnow, 406 P.A.
The party awakens and scries V once again, this time seeing a forest. Rather than risk unguided teleportation again, they head to Viraka to try to send Ned to the moon again.Asking around they learn that Ned Friske has died! Rumor is that someone broke into their home and murdered him.
Guthor confronts Ned's granddaughter as she closes up her shop. She recognizes who he is and is none too pleased to see him. She informs him that after their initial confrontation, Bones decided to end his own life as a final act of vengeance to take Guthor and Selune's victory away.
The party returns to The Jungle House.
14th of Deepsnow, 406 P.A.
The party receives a message from Vei'Slan requesting they attend the king at once (at their earliest convenience) because she has a mission for the group.The party arrives in Varcrast and meets with the king. Kavyre shares that there have been reports of a blue dragon appearing at night and destroying villages in Rouyenne moving southward near the coast. The NEWWT recruits have been sent after the dragon, but she wants to ensure that the job actually gets done and requests the banner go check things out. If it is a rogue dragon, the party is to subdue it or send word to her so that she can send other dragons to handle the issue. If it is not a rogue dragon, the party needs to figure out what it is so that King Kavyre can make sure Rouyenne knows it's their problem not hers.
Vei'Slan offers to teleport the party to the location and after a series of mishaps, finally lands them a couple hours north of Swallow's Take. The town they assume will be the next to be attacked.
