After clearing out the two young white dragons residing in their fort, the Black Feather Troupe set in for the winter. They reached out to the ambassador of the Dragon Nation [[gaeleth:places:Wuron Sfa]] and were forgiven for the deaths of the two young dragons, and allowed to keep or dispose of their remains -- save for the skull of the one at the fort. The skull might be used as a clue to the parents of the two young dragons. The troupe was given a special scroll that would, upon completion and sealing, immediately send its letter to the ambassador -- the dragon known as Vristilistalamar (or Vrist, for short). | After clearing out the two young white dragons residing in their fort, the Black Feather Troupe set in for the winter.

- | The [[gaeleth:places:Black Feather Fort]] was cleaned out and cleaned up by the masons and carpenters Eingrim had hired. Each of the rooms for the giants had been thirty feet tall, and about 300 square feet -- downright monastic for 15-20ft tall hill giants and ogres. The rooms were restructured, with most being turned into two rooms, each with a height of about 15ft -- one on each floor restructured to three 10ft tall rooms (minus beams and flooring and other structures). Stairs were built into the wide hallways or into the rooms themselves, and the giants' stairs were re-stepped to make life easier for much shorter humanoids. By the time winter was over, the interior of the fort had been completely redone into something warm and comfortable. | + | The [[gaeleth:places:Black Feather Fort]] was cleaned out and cleaned up by the masons and carpenters [[gaeleth:figures:Eingrim]] had hired.

New staff were hired by Eingrim and vetted by the troupe. They hired a hunter, a cook, a maid, and some general laborers that would also act as guards. The maid was a kobold, which no one objected to. The laborers were orcs, which made like interesting for the dwarf Jasper. She was placed in charge of the orcs, which assuaged her dwarven sensibilities. | New staff were hired by Eingrim and vetted by the troupe.

Both crews were shaken, but Hiko's translation of the ledger, the children's obvious cries for home, and the body language of the three remaining slavers assuaged them. | Both crews were shaken, but Hiko's translation of the ledger, the children's obvious cries for home, and the body language of the three remaining slavers assuaged them. | ||
+ | The next evening, the //Little Titan// made it into Teras. They apparently had reservations at a cheap inn near the river, called the Black Rock. Rather than stay there, they opted for the nicer Hospice of Strength. They had noticed that Eingrim was getting chintzy with the money, given the abilities of the crew of the //Little Titan//, among other things. | ||
+ | Their return ship was the //Golden Lance//, which would take them to the 'new' ruins, and then on to Rilan. The crew of the //Golden Lance// seemed drunk. Their expectations lowered a notch. | ||
- | Notes to Continue:\\ | + | The letter of write from a Thaumaturgist of Lok Magius, carried by a Guardian Paladin of Xoriah, easily secured them a copy of the nautical charts for the areas nearest the hidden continent. The nautical charts indicated shoals and reefs -- as though there were a //sunken// hidden continent. |
- | * trip downriver for navigation maps\\ | + | |
- | * slavers discovered\\ | + | They also dropped in to a place known by the locals as 'The Magic Store', but officially called the Arcane Shield. It sold quaint magical items, and was run by a middle-aged human called Madelyne, whom Hiko had known since she was a teen. She and Hiko caught up on things for a bit, and she gave him a slight discount on some potions. Madelyne had seen the Black Feather Troupe perform in Teras, before, and was pleased to meet Roland, the newest member of the troupe. |
