General Summary

The party continues on its journey to find the Vestiges of Power. After returning to Elminster they learn that their next task is to seek out a legendary artifact befitting of the mighty barbarian warrior Olaf.   He tells the party that a crafty dragon named Mindelhelm has the artifact in its possession. The dragon, though blue, is not an enemy of Elminster and he bades the party try not to kill him if it can be helped.   He send them off to find the dragon inhis layer along the northern stretch of the Sword Coast. After sending the party to Luskan, they are able to charter a chip to take them past Fireshear and to the mouth of the dragons cave. Upon arriving, the party is given a small boat and they row their way into the cave. There they travel inward until they are sucked down into a whirlpool and find themselves magically telleported to a room where they encounter a number of traps. The first one is simply a false timer that opens a door once it runs out. The party however kept resetting the timer each time they pulled a lever.   In the next room, they simply dodge the creatures by entering theportal they came out of. Finally, they are faced with fighting a mighty blue dragon, accompanied by a number of displacer beasts. They are able to strike them down and they find that the the true dragon they are seeking is still alive. Mindelhelm presents them with Heckatons Wrath and opens a gate for them to return to Elminster.
