Dragonbane

Picking ourselves up after the battle with the spider, Krisanna was keen to push on to find the treasure that had to be somewhere nearby. A locked door opened on to a short tunnel and another door into a bed chamber where a middle aged woman was fast asleep and not responsive to being shaken awake. She was wearing a very shiny gold necklace, but Orla intervened to stop Krisanna from pinching it.

Another door and a staircase led to a wizard’s chamber, where Longstride the wizard seemed somewhat surprised to see us. A quick explanation (and apology for killing his spider) before we handed over the mushrooms and apples to make the elixir for his sleeping wife. Krisanna managed to persuade Orla to ask for the necklace as a reward.

A couple of days of rest and sandwiches while Aodhan studied some of Longstride’s grimoires, learning some very useful spells in the process, before we decided to head for the coast as an easier route to the north (and an excuse for a paddle). We gathered a couple of new companions en route - Roderick Redbeard the Dwarf and a Wolfkin called Garth (or Doggo) before arriving at the temple where the skies were even more ominously dark because, as we found out, someone had already stolen the Sun Stone!
