====== Campaign IX, Chapter 11, Episode 25 ======

===== A New Day =====

**Location:**  In the forests south-southeast of [[gaeleth:places:Mount Lavanor]]

**Date:** Summer to Late Summer, 1333 Avard

**Characters:**  [[gaeleth:people:Este]], [[gaeleth:people:Halite]], [[gaeleth:people:Nalani]], [[gaeleth:people:Isaac]], [[gaeleth:people:Xydeco]], [[gaeleth:people:Izabella]], [[gaeleth:people:Zarolie]], [[gaeleth:people:Anatoli]], [[gaeleth:people:?]]

The team fled the walled enclosures of the chuul queen and her offspring in the middle of a terrible thunderstorm.  Once safely away, they took shelter beneath the great wings of the two rocs, and then Nalani put up a magical shelter of pure energy. There, they talked until the storm abated.  Este's brother needed to go before the lords; his talk of amulets that could cause civil war, his knowledge of the assassination of the Alsavier Duke, and his link to the Traitor called [[gaeleth:figures:Herod Notimeh]] meant that he had to go back.  Izabella argued taking him in immediately, and chose to take the smaller [[gaeleth:ecology:roc hawke]] to [[gaeleth:places:Mount Basilisk]].  Este would go with her, and from there to his family lands.

Isaac had seen enough.  He was ready to retired from a life of adventuring.  He chose to return to [[gaeleth:places:Firland]] and speak with the [[gaeleth:races:tomanth]] friends there.  Xydeco, ever Isaac's friend, chose to go with him.  The two were dropped off by the larger roc-hawke and good-byes, after first Halite and then Nalani were dropped off at Mount Lavanor and [[gaeleth:places:Lok Magius]], respectively.

Este abdicated the inheritance of the title Lord of Autumn Stones, causing a scramble among his six sisters for the title.  He quickly left.

====== Behind the Scenes ======

**Date:**  SUN14JAN2018

**DM's Notes:**  Dinner was beef and barley soup, with sausage thrown in.  This was a leveling session to get the characters to 6th level.  Saige was unhappy with Izabella's bondage to Este and wanted to bring in a different character.  James/Aiden was unhappy with Isaac as a bard, and wanted to bring in another character.  And since Xydeco came in with Isaac, Alex felt he would likely leave with Isaac, so he brought in a new character, too.  Keeping three originals and bringing in three new characters will change the dynamic of the party considerably.  I look forward to challenging them.
