ToD: Session 78: A new face in the party

General Summary

As Sun went inside the basement looking for Thoss Tarek he left as he did not find him and went upstairs to where Sidon almost blew up but managed to stop it. Umar Thoon ordered the party to find Thoss Tarek and they started looking in the other half of the basement. As they opened the door the found Nyh Ilmich sitting in the corner. They started to fight her but stopped when she said she did not want to fight and that she did not now why the party where attacking her. The party inspected her and found out that her memory was modified and with a Dispel Magic removed the modifications. She reeled from the horrors she performed for Thoss Tarek and she told that he is probably gone. The party then went back to the Great Hall and here Umar Thoon agreed to the alliance. Leo then said he wanted to buy the two blacksmith slaves, Umar Thoon accepted the offer as a sign of peace. The party with the slaves and the undead cat where teleported to Waterdeep.
As the party arrived back at Waterdeep, Leo told the slaves that they were free and that they could work for him and sleep in his mansion. They accepted as they did not now anything about The Sword Coast. As they arrived back at the Firefly Mansion they met with Darcy who told them that there was a guest in the garden. But before he could convey this message to the party Sun and Ray ran towards the garden to make snowcats. Here they met Vox, a gold Dragonborn with a spiky tail and green flame eyes. She told them about a letter she intercepted from a dissenter of the Cult of the Dragon named Iskander. And that he has the Blue Dragon mask. He is located in Xonthal's Tower, a Wizard tower near the Graypeak Mountains with a village of the same name near it. She was quickly accepted into the party and got a room inside the mansion. Darcy then also told Ray and Sun that a package had arrived for them. They opened it and inside was a letter and two Figures of Wondrous power in the form of Toucancs. As they read the letter they found out it was from Serene and she made the figures. The party then went to bed.
In the morning they left for Xonthal's Tower with Sidon and Leo traveling on the Wyvern; Solaire, Sun and Ray on their toucans and Vox traveling on her Dragonnel; Sparrow. But before they could leave Leosin arrived to talk to them and gave Leo a scroll of Teleportation Circle so they could come back faster than before, he also told them that the next meeting with the council will be in 20 days. The journey took 16 days and when they arrived they saw a tower surrounded by a maze and a village next to it. They asked around town for information and were led to an old man named Pete, he ranbled on abou the light he saw from the tower and that he saw a blue dragon flying overhead. He tried to bless the party whith holy water he got from a Cleric but the party found out it was not real. He warned the party about the dangers of the maze and that any who entered never left. Sidon then went to the blacksmith to pulverize some of his silver so he could for real bless the old man's water. The party then decided to enter the maze and reach the tower.
As they stepped in front of the garden path infront of the entrance they saw a man dressed in black robes standing on a balcony shouting at them saying:

"Heroes! They saw you in the village! I've taken the mask, but they'll realize it's missing within within minutes! Look for me beneath the tower, for it's the only place I have a chance to hide. This is the key that will let you teleport into the dungeon."

As he spoke he held aloft a second item-some sort of white glimmering hourglass. And said: "I will leave it behind after I use it, but others may findt it before you do." They then saw another figure dash onto the baclony and a flash of blades and spell-fire erupted. The figure who soke the pitches his attacker over the railing before dasing back inside.
The party then hurried inside the maze and came upon a sundial with the shadow pointing forward. The party tried to split into but all came back to the sundial, after some trial and error they decided to go all to one path and followed the shadow. As they entered the path they came to another sundial with shadows coming from it. One going forward and one going right, the party chose to go to the bottem left and after walking for some while they arrived at a pasture with two cylopses.
