## Events

- Harvey successfully escorted all the hobgoblins and orcs to shore. His heroic actions inspired a new paladin follower.

- Mummrah stayed behind to help out the wounded on the boats.

- The rest of the party teleported back to Rime. Gartug went home to rest (and get some important alone time). Taliah returned to her lab. Sheila G and Chuck get ready for an exciting slumber party at her temple.

- Withatwist was hanging out in the collective hotel room, and is attacked by a dark tapestry-corrupted deep badger. He manages to defeat it, and drags its corpse around town showing it off.

- Taliah got some mail from the Guild of Alchemists, inquiring about her selling alchemical items while not in the guild.

- Harvey teleports back to Rime.

- SG and Co. have their sleep over. We meet with the crypt dragon tomorrow. We decide to return to the Boneyard now, which will make us an hour early. SG plane shifts us to the Runebarrow, the domain of Maugrim.
  - A reminder of our deal: A contract, signed both by Maugrim and SG, is: Maugrim will return the shade of Cayden Calien to mortal life in as hidden of a way as possible (so as to avoid any unnecessary attention), in exchange for a magic rune that eases childbirth, increases fertility, and safety of birth for the entire dwarf species.
    - The rune is currently at the barrow of the crypt dragon Nuripites.
  - Stackor nee Boobons teleports us to the antechamber of the crypt dragon. SG buffs us with remove fear. We meet again with the mephit butler, and are shown in to speak with Nuripites.
    - The dragon’s chambers are tidy and organized – gold bars are stacked, weapons are in racks. The dragon sits upon a rectangular dias, with geometric carvings. The walls are a mausoleum, with murals and depictions of creatures. Behind the dragon, stacks of coffins and treasure line the wall.
    - The dragon is gargatuan and old. Her white skin is taut, she is wiry and sinewy, and her eyes are pink.
    - We approach, and introduce ourselves. SG steps forward to speak, first thanking the dragon for the space laser plans. She then transitions to discussing the agreement with Magrym: trading the rune taken in exchange for Cayden Calien’s shade.
    - Nuripites offers a counter deal: travel to a world overrun with undead, to the lair of a draco-lich. Purge the lair of undead, destroy the draco-lich, and Nuripites will agree to let Magrym have the rune for 100 Boneyard-years. A brief sending later, and Magrym agrees to the deal. Nuripites will be prepared to send us to this world in 8 boneyard-hours, or at any point after that.
    - We exit the barrow the mundane way.
- SG plane shifts us back to the material plane, and Stackor teleports us back to Rime.
