Notes
The Knights of the Golden Order spend some time grieving the loss of Greetlund Steelsnatcher. Torvox insists that they remember the final Darkling rule and not let emotion lead to mistakes.
The party picks their traveling roles and the group makes their way to the Nestle Nook, the homestead of Torvox and Greetlund Steelsnatcher, without further incident. The group carries on to the Undercropolis in search of a diamond to resurrect Greetlund Steelsnatcher. On the way, Babaduke "Gembo" Gemkind explains the Momento and its affect upon the Drow, this also explains why Torvox couldn't live with rest of the Rock Gnome, he'd be stuck in time with the rest of them.
Arriving at the Drow walls of the Undercropolis, the group sees many Drow stuck in place and time. The House of Gray Wardens is a stone building built into the existing Drow fortification. The Gray Wardens open the doors to Gembo and give him the customary Poem of Returning. A prominent Gray Warden, Eloweiss "kick-you-in-the-fucking-teeth" Mithrilclaw, happens to be Babaduke "Gembo" Gemkind's clan aunty. Eloweiss extracts several fantastic tales from Babaduke "Gembo" Gemkind heroic experiences and then tells him his mother has something to tell him.
Babaduke "Gembo" Gemkind returns home and visits his mother, Malda Gemkind, in her workshop, introducing her to his friends. She shares food and drink with her before giving the Gemkinds a moment alone. Malda Gemkind says she wants Babaduke "Gembo" Gemkind to consider marriage to Galphi "not-too-much" Echoseeker order to continue the longevity of the Gemkind line. Further, Malda Gemkind admits to being courted by Paul "i-eat-ear-wax" Mithrilclaw, and she's not permitted, by Gemkind custom, to accept proposals from a second husband if her children have not yet produced offspring. Babaduke "Gembo" Gemkind dodges this conversation for now by agreeing to speak with Galphi "not-too-much" Echoseeker about her missing father, and to rescue him if possible.
Meanwhile, Erithien Darkmoon seeks to increase her chaos domain and tempts the young men and women of the Undercropolis into a sexual revolution. She is told by the young people that they cannot have premarital relations as they don't know how, citing a tome called a marriage book which they receive from their parents once they are married. That tome is said to explain how things work in a marriage, and this presumably includes directions on procreation. Erithien Darkmoon creates her own lewd drawings, depicting certain mating rituals, and hands them out as illicit marriage manuals. After a night's effort, Erithien Darkmoon successfully educates the receptive, horny gnomes - thereby increasing her domain and bestowing upon her a seed of divinity.
A seed of divinity is a mote of potential power a god can bestow upon an acolyte of their service. This acolyte would receive the blessing of cleric or paladin and wield this power in the name of their patron god.
Danithal Titanothos and Duer Graysong get to know each other while visiting the Purification Pits. While there, a sprightly Rock Gnome metalkeeper assists in the crafting of several powerful magic bullets for Danithal Titanothos and a mithril shirt for Duer Graysong. Danithal Titanothos spends some time studying with the metalkeeper and earning more lore for the domain of knowledge. As Erithien Darkmoon managed previously, Danithal Titanothos also gained a seed of divinity. She will need to consider who best to bestow such power to.
Duer Graysong carried on to Histories Eternal where he met Billa Pagespurn Blazingeye, a venerable Rock Gnome librarian. In exchange for agreeing to teach at the College of Lore in the future and a boon for herself, Billa Pagespurn Blazingeye agreed to allow him access to the 9th level spells found in the tablet room of the library. Babaduke "Gembo" Gemkind tries to sneak out of the Undercropolis but Aunty Eloweiss "kick-you-in-the-fucking-teeth" Mithrilclaw catches him and insists on accompanying him to the Nestle Nook, as it's not safe to travel alone. On the way, the two encounter Feazeruss, a magical, mysterious fog which can be found in the underdark. Despite tales warning of woe, Babaduke "Gembo" Gemkind ventures into the Feazeruss and becomes transformed. His arm becomes hollow and able to carry things. Surprisingly, Aunty Eloweiss "kick-you-in-the-fucking-teeth" Mithrilclaw enters the Feazeruss, but her twisted boon is not apparent. While Erithien Darkmoon's teachings become more practical in nature, Duer Graysong and Danithal Titanothos venture into the Underdark, also destined for the Nestle Nook. They too stumble upon the magical fog but only Duer Graysong dare venture in. His twisted boon manifested in the ability to transform his fists into balls of lead. While the wizard probably would have preferred disintegration ray laser vision, I think it's situationally kind of a funny. LOL.
