Session 54: In a Rut Report

General Summary

Our heroes start at the bottom of the eternal demi plane on the 5th. They don't know how long they're gonna be here, so they start training. Joe takes lightning pain to focus his mind, Kevan polymorphs and animates dead, Frank runs very fast, and Jovial casts fireballs and cleans up.
After 4 days, while asleep, an elf called Merrick Lunorin descends and wakes them - on the evening of the 10th. He's a druid and once held a wedding for foxes after stealing the Pearly of the Meadow. He uses a scroll to teleport them out of there and back to Castle Ardinham.
Isabella is revived (they pay the fee), and has a brief encounter with Moradin in his forge, who tells her to ally herself with the ancient dragon gods that resides in lairs throughout the land. Molten iron flows through her veins and she wakes up.
The party are now Rank 4, which gives them access to 40% discount at taverns and inns. They pay the Guardians to locate a buyer for the following (paying a 5gp fee):

• Mace of Terror
• Rod of Absorption (will take 20k)
• Potion of Vitality
• 2 x Potions of Deafness

Our heroes are offered 212gp for all their gems, but they don't settle for that. Isabella takes time to form the gems into necklaces instead, and they sell the jewellery to Brwanvil at The Night's Sygil (it has a dragon's head at the entrance). In total, they're sold for 265gp.
Back at Castle Ardinham, they question Egoron for a bit - he used to be a member of the Seers of Ix and is originally from the North. He tells frank of his life there - they didn't let women into the cult and it didn't used to be evil. The latest Master Hand has taken it in a different direction.
Our heroes head to the archives and request some information:

• Kevan wants a 10 page essay on the false hydra and wants to know if they can reverse the murders.
• They all want a dossier on ancient dragons to get anything they need to know
• Jovial asks who the Phoulwish are and wants info
• Kevan just wants to sell
• Isabella wants to know more about the hammers of Moradin

They also ask for some items to be found:

• Joe wants a magical finess sword or dagger
• Frank wants a magical long bow
• Everyone wants a bag of holding
• Isabella wants an armour with Moradin on it - dwarven made

They rest at night, ready to head out in the morning.
