Catch Up
It has been more than a week since I have journaled and I have much to tell although I suppose I should start with the largest shift in events to me; I died. I was revived rather quickly thanks to the help of a few scholars? who were present here at Candlekeep. They found a priest of Tymora, a cleric of luck revived me I am unsure how I feel about the irony of the situation regardless.
After that I rested for a few days until I was informed that the Bucket Brigade lost the Wand of Orcus, eventually finding out it was stolen essentially by that multitude villainy Manshoon. I am now going to be working with some of the now extended group of the Bucket Brigade to go into the Astral Plane to fetch the Wand back assisted by Elminster.
Marsember is also under assault. It seems to be holding out well for the moment but how long that will last I do not know. I personally made a deal with the town to the north of the city that were being bullied into being neutral in the conflict. They will support us as long as when the time of their crisis arises I am there to help and shepherd its people to safety. This is a weighty burden I put upon myself but I must as that town needed protecting and its people needed the security the walled city of Marsember can provide.
On the other hand the other contingent of the Bucket Brigade will be tracking down the remnants of the Sharn cultists I believe as they need not arcane or divine magics to bolster their offense against them. I will endeavor to be more with cataloging my thoughts of the day in the days to come as I will need all notes and my wits about me to face the coming threats I believe.
Candlekeep
She is safe. My daughter is well. Her smile lifts my heart from the deep fear filled place it was. I do not know anything about this "Chosen of a God" phenomenon that this Elminster speaks of but it doesn't matter. She is safe, she maintains her peace, and learns so much here. I have missed her terribly but she thrives here and that is all a parent can ask for isn't that right Rosalind? I had a good day with her and I intend to spend as much time as I can with her that is possible while I am still here but the problems of Cormyr still worry me...
The Thunder of the Coming Storm
It seems we stumbled onto something we were not prepared for. We finished off the rogue but it turns out he was nothing but a traitor to begin with. An Abishai sworn to Tiamat in service to her to find passage into the Giant' tomb. The giant was stymied by Tiamat in the ancient past and we were able to answer the riddle that insured his downfall. As a reward Nimbus was given a warhammer of surpassing power to assist in quelling the spirits of whatever is down in that tomb. Unfortunately we will not know as we barely were able to retreat with out lives after we foolishly pressed on after out hard won fight with the Abishai.
Spies and Subtlety
We encountered Sir Sleepsalot today. How? I do not know. He poisoned all of our meals I resisted the effects but the others were not so fortunate. It seems he was a spy for a well known crime family and was suffering from "amnesia". I am not exactly sure how much of that I believe; probably none of it.
We met with Stella's parents and they were somehow aware and weary of the artifact that Nimbus is currently in possesion of. I am curious what connections they have to the underworld and where they might be from that they could so easily acquire this information. They expect me to watch over Stella as they are unnerved by her travelling with artifact as they seem to believe it will cause trouble. I am liable to agree with them in that regard.
We had a meeting with Korvix again. He has an interesting proposal for us and I believe that it may lead to some beneficial information if we are careful and observant.
Reports
The party and I finished with the Sharran hideout, at least for the time being, and reported back to the church of Lathander. We informed them along with the cleric Artemis' help of the dangers down there and if they needed assistance in purging the place that we would be happy to assist.
The rest of the party then reported in to the Society of Stalwart Adventurers informing them of the information and whereabouts of the Green Dragon. The rest of the party was told that their contract was fulfilled and payment would be forthcoming with verification of the intelligence. They were also told that they as well as I could register as free-agent adventuring company under the banner of the Stalwarts. I payed for the yearly dues.
My companions and I then took the short trek to the capital at my request so that I could see about my promotion and ask about the Shadow Weave. The Headmaster of the War Wizard College was forthcoming with all the information he had about the Shadow Weave.
Revelations
After speaking to the Church of Lathander we were able to enlist the aid of one of the churches devout, a cleric by the name of Artemis. We travelled back down the shaft into the cultists hideout and we fiercely fought against the cultists. While we prevailed the sneaky one fell to their foul magics. After pressing on we dealt with the last of the undead and found the information we needed to find that damned dragon.
Down the Hole
We heard that there were some Dragon Cultists looking for a Shar Cultist hideout as it may have information in finding the dragon. We found that hideout and went down the long shaft deep underground. We ran into quite a bit of trouble while we were down there. There were monsters and such, undead that almost killed us, but more interestingly and more disturbingly there seem to have been some spells that used the shadow-weave to power them. I am unsure on how to counter these magics and must do some research at the library.
Suspicious Subterfuge
The barbarian and I reported in to the Alaphorn and he informed us that the cultists we had captured for interrogation were dead. Unfortunately, we did not get any information from the ne'er-do-wells. The Alaphorn also informed me I was to report to a city nearby as I am being promoted.
Those Sahaugin Bastards!
That was an interesting fight. We all nearly died. If I hadn't been able to hold their Barron and the Dragonborn hadn't showed up out of no where we would have.
Shar Cultists
We were after a lead for the dragon's whereabouts and were beset on all sides by enemies. We prevailed, but just barely. We were able to capture two assassins and a cultist. We will be delivering them to the Alaphorn.
The Alaphorn
I reported in to the head Alaphorn of Marsember and told him of the progress that was made in the search for the green dragon. After receiving information about my task I was informed that the dwarf's whole religious sect was under scrutiny and investigation.
A Long Night
A witch beguiled the sneaky one in his sleep despite my preparations to keep the party safe.
My New Assignments
I have finally found the group of adventurers who were on the trail of the Green Dragon. Unfortunately, I did not make it on time to save Pew Pew from a grizzly fate.
