Explorer's Guild Camp

by Shyrene Windheart

After a few days of building camp, Mya dropped a bomb of information on Spath. She was an servant of the White Dragon Mayaxa who vanished mysterious after an apparent incursion by another kobold (Tulda) into a Nyx chasm. Shortly thereafter Mya was apparently banished without much warning.
 
That night something passed through the jungle to the south, upsetting the monkey's. I attempted to track what it was the next day instead of building, but I wasn't able to really determine what it was beyond large lumbering beast. Once the first building was complete, Cleeve treated us to a Feast! It left me feeling quite good.
 
We headed over to the kobold tribe to see what we could learn for ourselves. The kobolds were quite upset by our arrival, whom were wearing Uthgardt woven rings which was very odd. Umlilo disguised as a white half-dragon managed to convince them he was a son of Mayaxa. The was a bunch of ancient Uthgardt skeletons in a cave. This got us led deeper into the cave to meet with Tulda, who saw through Umlilo's disguise. There was some sort of rift in the room, some sort of tear in reality. Tulda ordered the attack and we responded. I dropped her and ordered the others to stop, and they did. Then stuff got weird.
 
Tulda was already dead, and an Uthgardt neckless unwound itself and attacked us. It was around my neck briefly during the fight and it felt like it was trying to align itself to my spine. It was not pleasant. Once it was defeated, the corpse of Tulda started to writhe and appeared to be creating more strings. She was very quickly burnt and Mya made her way into the cave, apparently having followed us.
 
Umlilo and Geode had a long talk with Mya about the rift, and it will remain a secret for now.
