--- title: Tales from the Crypt (dragon), S5E06 --- ## Current Objectives - ~~Investigate the ethereal plane room at the Giant's keep~~ - ~~Enter Stormheim~~ - **[COMPLETE]** Join Kaldur and seek the Mantles of the Heroes - Aid the merfolk in attacking the Cthulu cults ## 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. ## Player Characters - Gartug Ironfist, a dwarven brawler (Bill) - Sheila G, a half-elf cleric of Cayden Calien (Thans) - Stackor, a dwarven wizard (James) - Harvey, a tengu-ish monk (Mike) - Oliver Withatwist, a fey-sworn warpriest (Dan) ## Locations - Rime - Sheila G's Temple of Cayden Calien - The Boneyard - The Runebarrow, Domain of Maugrim - The barrow of Nuripites the Crypt Dragon ## NPCs and Notable Characters - Nuripites, a crypt dragon in the Boneyard ## Other Notes - Rock Drama: there's a lover's quarrel between Guy and Francine (formerly Francis).
