Neverember nods. We have agents keeping tabs on Varram, and will prepare a teleport circle for you. And we will give you a teleportation scroll to return here as soon as you have retrieved him. As you said, time is of the essence. We will also give you several scrolls of sending should you require them.

Thorarak lifts his head and says, "It may very well be a fool's errand, Cousin, but I cannot, especially as a man of faith, stand idly by and let evil rise." He then bows his head back down and looks at the people he arrived with.

Meep nods and studies Neverember for a moment. "And the other cultists and their target items? Would you like us to try to retrieve and or dispose of them as well if we come into contact with them? Better to try to kill two, or multiple, birds with one stone as they say."

Neverember nods back. Unfortunately, much of the cult is still shrouded in secrecy. We don't even know who the other Wyrmspeakers are. Suffice it to say, you have a free hand to kill or capture any cult member you come across. Any you can bring back for interrogation is preferable, of course, but we understand that it's not always possible. Varram, however, we would prefer alive.

Meep nods in thought before looking to the others. "For now I think that is all of my questions. Well, except one. Other than their love for dragon summoning, is there any other way to spot these type of cultists? "

Haventree shakes her head at this. We've been attempting to track down cult members, but they pop up everywhere. They've become adept at blending in. Unless they want to be noticed, it could be literally anyone. If they're wanting to be seen, they'll be wearing their cult robes with the symbol of Tiamat. However, if you notice anyone extending their hand like this: she hold out her hand with all 5 fingers extended: It's one of their greetings. It symbolizes the five heads of the dragon queen. She shrugs her shoulders. Or they could just be telling someone hello. That's what makes them dangerous. She sits back and lapses into silence again.

Meep nods curiously and shrugs. "Yeah okay. I'm in if Baird is. I suppose we gather some gear and then head to the teleport circle once it is up? How long will that take?"

“This one doesn’t like the cold but, what of the metallic dragons? If this one remembers correctly metallic dragons are of good nature. Has anyone heard from them?” Xilcerys ask while he shifts his tail.

Brawnanvil noticeably scowls, and Neverember shakes his head. The elf, King Melandrach sits forward. The dragons are a solitary kind, and while they might take up against their chromatic enemies, we will most likely be unheeded in the battle. He shakes his head and leans back. We must move cautiously. The metallic are good natured, yes, but they are ancient and proud, and will see provocation from the smallest of gestures. We cannot rely on them. Neverember stands again. The king speaks wisely. We will hope for a message from them, but we must move forward on our own. Hopefully we can stop this ritual before it even starts. The teleport circle is being set up as we speak. You may gather your belongings, and any last minute equipment you need, and then meet back where you had your meals in 1 hours time. Any more questions?

As the questions roll in, Thorark is still kneeling, he begins to look back at Meep slightly annoyed that they aren't just joining the cause. He is however, pleasantly surprised by Baird. He smiles and nods at the affirmation that the minotaur will be helping out on this quest.

"How curious that some people are willing to dive head first in such an endeavor, without asking the basic questions, furthermore the most important ones."
Dare's not many questions i can be askin now that id even unn'erstand wha' it means, or dat i can even tink of. Was impor'ant is dat we learn as we go. Learn as ye grow. Dare's a lot we dun know. Not much out dare fer wha' i am. I jus know we cant let no **** off cult of dragons run amuck.
Meep glances to the drow. "I agree. But... I have asked all of my questions. So unless you have any more, I believe we are ready to go?" Meep gives Thorak an apologetic smile before patting Baird's shoulder. "We definantly learn as we go and grow as we learn. But it's always nice to have some info to help us along the way."

Baird with brows furrowed, nearly under his breath, but the deep tone of his voice keeps it slightly louder than he wouldve liked.
Dragons... wha'de'fok... control'in em? Nahh.. more like ringin' de dinner bell... drow man, hes a sma't one. We see if he knows about dis later, private. Five fingas up? Ill put me fist IN their skull..
*his thumb caresses the edge of the symbol he had received earlier, that offers a slight help with image. Then breathes deeply.*
Meep, i cannae do dis wifout'cha. Tanks fer agreein'. Id hate ta have ta drag yeh.

Big swell before de storm, eh? Well, les start wif some details of deese contacts of yers. Dat way some of our more magic-y guys could do a scry? Like what dey hair lookin like? Any scarrs?
This time, Hornblade shakes his head. My dear Minotaur, we've had the best minds in Silverymoon scrying and divining for weeks. Any pertinent information they have shielded well. Unfortunately, it seems their red wizards are every bit as good as ours. That's why we sent for you...boots on the ground, so to speak.

At the sight of the elven nobles, Ree'lyn makes sure they see him fully. His expression soft and his bow as courteous as ever.
"In the name of House Arken'ar, I, Ree'lyn Arken'ar, offer the services of my House establishing safe passage across the Underdark for fast and secure travels of emissaries and supplies to and from the surface."
Neverember and the other nobles ads certainly the best contacts the Drow could ever hope for meeting. "Are there steps to be taken to our goal? I am quite sure it is not a journey from one point to another. Is this Maccath you speak of aware she is being looked for?"
His eyes move slowly to lock with the eyes of each and every noble in the room. Not challenging, however certainly measuring their reaction towards him.
"Do we know the presence of Severin or the dracoliches that have been raised so far?"
"Should we try and stop the cult from gathering the hoard to finish their ritual? How many of those masks do they have now?"
Neverember considers your questions. Maccath has been lost for years...I doubt she expects rescue at this point, if she's even still alive. Currently, our only steps available are information gathering. Remallia has sent out her network to learn as much as possible, though as good as they are, as I've said, they are stretched quite thin. We know just enough to know how dangerous our position is here. Fortunately, it seems as though Severin and his followers have gone away from raising dracoliches, though they are recruiting more and more chromatic to their cause. We know they have set up at the Well of Dragons, in the southern part of the coast. It's located in the caldera of a dormant volcano. We don't have much to go on, anyone that's gotten to close has not been heard from again. But we know to assault it right now before we know more is suicide. Our armies are still scattered, and we know they have gathered a formidable force of cultists and hired mercenaries, on top of the dragons that protect it.
We assume they have all 5 masks now, and yes. We must do anything we can to slow them down, while we figure out how to stop this ritual.
