=== Chapter | === Chapter Twelve: [[Gravenhollow]]=== | ||
The Fishwives arrived at Gravenhollow, a magical library run by immortal [[giants]] in the [[Underdark]]. | |||
[[Ka-Ess]] learned that the lizard-conqueror of his dreams was [[Yazkur-el]], who millennia prior threw off the tyranny of the matriarchs and united the Lizard and Serpent people and conquered the known world. Yazkur-el vanished mysteriously, though not before treating with the newly-arrived Elves and building temples and pyramids to his glory. | |||
[[Cheeky]] learned of the history of the [[Cat Lord]] and [[Tabaxi|her people]]. The Cat Lord led the Tabaxi to this plane from another (perhaps the [[Feywild]], though the records are unclear), to rescue them from some [[eldritch being of unfathomable power]]. To close the doorway and protect his people he traveled into the Shadowfell and challenged an otherworldly evil called the Twisted One to a ball game, wagering his life against [[the Twisted One’s eye.]] There is a lengthy account of the game, but suffice it to say that the Cat Lord won the eye, though barely escaped the wrath of the Twisted One. He used the eye to permanently close the doorway from which his people had come. | |||
[[Ilabrar]] learned that he was the descendant and heir of [[King Elashor the Ceremonious]], last monarch of the [[now-destroyed]] [[Kingdom of Nindrol]]. Elashor’s older brother [[Mourn the Oathbreaker]] went mad and the kingdom was further weakened by a decades-long civil war in which Elashor prevailed, though at a great cost. When the [[Sahuagin]] attacked, the kingdom fell. He further learned that he was a relation of [[the current empress]], and that Elashor had twin daughters who survived the destruction of the palace. | |||
[[Sathul]] had a vision of the [[dark orb]] being used to open a doorway between our plane and the Far Realms. He was suspiciously not disturbed by this. | |||
[[Ardrick]] discovered the location of his lost brothers, several of whom were in the city of [[Karne]]. | |||
=== Chapter Thirteen: The Wrath of [[Valraxaxath]] === | |||
After troubling dreams and portents, the Fishwives emerged from the Underdark into the mountains to find the young dragon Cal and the cyclops Kronk engaged in a deadly battle against an adult black dragon, Valraxaxath. Kronk drove the foe off but at the cost of his life. | |||
The Fishwives took revenge, with Cheeky riding Cal into battle. After a terrible battle, the now-forever-insufferable Ka-Ess earned the sobriquet of Dragon-slayer after leaping on the back of the fleeing dragon and slaying it with his magical sword. | |||
Ardrick used the blessings of Kord to raise the slain Kronk from the dead. The newly risen giant was changed, now evincing an interest in religion and a heretofore unknown propensity for blacksmithing, despite the loss of his eye. Ardrick agreed to procure 1000 ingots of bronze for him. | |||
