2020-01-23 - Rumble in the rubble, 'don't shoot my egg', and headless dragons.

General Summary

"Aurathantor was an anomaly. She was a bestial, white dragon, caught and enslaved by the Sorcerer Dragonborn, Geshlan. She was compelled, though she resisted mightily, to perform good deeds to see if the evil of her kind could be overwritten. Unfortunately, Geshlan never completed his work because he sent Aurathantor to her death during the battle of Soleth Red. I am not an idealist but I had hoped that Geshlan could succeed in his efforts to reform such a creature. For if Aurathantor could become good, then what excuse do we have to do otherwise?" - from the annals of time.

Notes

The Knights of the Golden Order were set upon by deadly Kruthik and some were nearly dragged away. However, the group prevailed and Galphi "not-too-much" Echoseeker revealed that she was a Garlish paladin, the latest in a long lineage of Echoseeker paladins who wield the magical Sword of Ages.
The group decides to arm one of Erithien Darkmoon's skeletons with a cursed axe and he goes berserk, trying to kill things. Meanwhile, Duer Graysong finds a partially completed spell which would allow for molecular-sized spiders to enter ones body and heal damage from within.
Duer Graysong discovers the Lolth portal mural within the Spiderken and its mural of teleportation. They teleport to the Circle of Magic's 7th layer where they surprised a black dragon defender. The creature is dispatched by Danithal Titanothos's natural 20 (provided by Feye Lyne's fate point).
The Knights of the Golden Order come to blows over the black dragon's egg and whether the thing should be destroyed or not. Babaduke "Gembo" Gemkind finally wins the argument, but things remain tense amongst the friends.
Afterwards, Duer Graysong received another sending message from Il'karin despite wearing his mind-shielding ring. Before they had a chance to solve this mystery, the group travels to the 8th circle and encounters a slumbering, titanic earth elemental. The group releases the slumbering giant who demands to be able to destroy the Spider Lands' mountains for the insult they have endured. Feye Lyne convinced the Rumble King to grant a stay of execution for 24 hours. Hopefully, this will be enough to evacuate the Uppercropolis before the Rumble King enacts his promise.
