After a short rest, which involved contemplation of the universe and its infinite greatness, our heroes carried on up the Stormhorn mountains.
At midday of the 2nd day of the journey, the group notices that they are being followed. After a quick and polite internal discussion, the heroes decide to confront this unseen follower.
It turns out that they are a group of dragonborn and that they are more than a little pissed at Darge, our dragonborn bard. The reason behind their anger isn't really revealed, something about a nation betrayed, the end of the world, and a shiny egg.
Blah blah blah, who cares.
These dragonborn assholes had beef with Darge and wanted us to just give him up. Now, the whole thing might have been a great big misunderstanding, but there is no way on Ilmaters green earth that we were going to give up a mate to some lunatics who waylaid us on a lonely mountain path.
Besides. They threw the first punch.
The dickhead dragonborn druid who was leading the group cast a spell of entanglement on us. A great battle ensued, and when all was said and done they were dead and we were alive.
After putting the deceased bodies into humorous positions (as a warning to the rest), Tannis nicked a feathered headband from the druids lifeless body and gave it to his wolf companion, Totara, as a collar. We all thought it looked really neat, and repeatedly asked Totara if he was a good boy!.
Unperturbed by the dragon-dorks, we kept climbing the mountain until dark when we reached the summit.
At the top we found a peculiar ghost who claimed to be an ancient defender of Ustarnes. He would only let us through if we passed some bullshit test. We all rolled our eyes and agreed. We all knew that if we failed his test we would beat his ghost ass into another plane until he cried uncle.
Turns out the test was actually pretty cool. We had to beat some lightning Gollum creature out of existence. He had weak points and even a puzzle mechanism - totes legit DM (OOC)!
The ghost informs us that someone called Benjik has a badge of office and claims to be descended from the house of Krultek. He has told the ghost to alert him if outsiders are to come into the valley but followers of Zihir are welcome. Benjik destroyed a lizardfolk village and his followers have been looting the dragon's lair. Dragons! we all think.
Ghost man isn't having any of Benjik's shit though and seems more than happy to let us destroy him for our own motivations. Hopefully, he has the stone we are looking for too!
At this point everyone is really super tired and its time for a long nap.
The next day we screwed around, pillage a random tomb, and met a woman who turns into a snake. She runs away before we can smite her properly and we all agreed that we were pretty kick ass. Especially the part where Tasmin gave Saul the ability to crawl on the ceiling like that kid from the exorcist.
We just let Darge sleep all day because he looked knackered.
