Entry #33 - What to do with Tret

by Aleksey Dotsk the seer

I know that once the lightning is contained in the tooth, it would take another spell to trigger it, and I don't know what that may be.
 
Meanwhile, JM goes with the guards who are taking the dwarven girl's body to her parents. They are incredibly grateful, and initially hesitant to accept he electrum, but do accept it. JM gives them some tips, and they offer to pay for any iron gear we may need from his shop.
 
Tret finally admits that he is a member of the cult, and curses Draxon to be killed by the great Tiamat, the dragon .
 
Odd and I go downstairs to speak with the guards and explain to them what happened. They immediately want us to bring down the Dragon Cultist. I tell him I certainly will and Odd and I go upstairs to retrieve him. The guards also want to question us, but I have no intention of waiting around.
 
Jean Marie comes in he walks up to the room and proceeds to cast Command on Tret. We don't learn much more from him. Next thing we know Burell's friend arrives and asks if we've found the artifacts yet. I pull out the fang and shapphire and show them to him.

I had to give up the dragon tooth to the guards to give them evidence of Tret's guilt.
 
As Odd tries to re-enter, he feels a tap on his shoulder and the elvish woman is there! He returns her bow to her.
 
We go up to my room with Burhell. He told us about a place in the middle of Thar, a twisted old tree in a ravine. He gives us a map we can follow to where we want to go. We need to find this ravine. Burhell agreed to come with us as we search this place out.
 
I give my healer's kit to JM.
