Storm King's Thunder

Quote from Gimpster >>

RIP asks around until he learns of his wife's whereabouts and promptly heads there with the kids. Before the big reunion Rip will make the children invisible.

"Hello there pretty lady! I heard you were missing something important." As he talks the invisi-kids will get in front of RIP "Well you will be glad to hear, your kids are right here!" With that he claps his hands and ends the spell revealing the once lost children! There is much hugging and crying and happiness!

 The children giggle with glee, and Sara holds them so close for a moment that Kara says, "Mama, mama, I can't breathe!" 

As they all hug, Rip notices that Sara's hair is standing on end just a little bit. 

Sara brings you all to the home that she has been renting with her meager income—it's essentially a broom closet above the tavern where she works, with just enough room for her very small bed, and a hook to hang a bag with all her belongings. "It's not much, but it's been my home for the last several weeks."  

Ink asks Kolbaz what was the task he wanted done... In case Ink can... convince... them to return the staff and complete the task.

Persuasion (if needed) 3

Ink heads to the Wink and Wisp. He orders a drink and overpays by 20 gold. He tells the waitress, "Along with the drink, I'll need a... Hand."

In the mountain cave, the white dragon doesn't take kindly to being threatened himself, and scoffs at Marav's readied spell, closing in quickly with him before the energy is released by Marav's druidic magic! 

(wow a natural 1 for the saving throw!)

The dragon is thrown back, and shakes his head before speaking once more in his raspy voice. "Do not presume to know what I have been through, nor what I will do to those who cross me, orcling!" As he speaks, a plume of white fog sprays from his mouth, coating the area in ice and giving Marav a freezing feeling.

// Marav please make a DC 15 CON saving throw, taking 56 cold damage on a failed save, or half damage on a successful one. //

Con save: 13

Healing Word Level 3: 16

"Are we done posturing yet? I am not here to kill you and you would not have left if you just wanted to kill us."

After he says this his hand reaches out to his side and rests his hand a spirit dragonling that appears next to him sitting quietly. Looking very similar to the dragon in front of him.

 Kolbaz prefers to keep his secrets, waving Ink off. "Our deal's the deal! Get it done and I'll teach you the spell. You don't need to know anything else."

The waitress nods and smiles to Ink, replying, "Meet me out back in one hour."

The dragon is surprised that Marav is still standing after taking the brunt of his frost breath. 

"I remember you, orcling. From the temple...the friend of the giant. Yet you say that you didn't come for a fight. I could kill you in seconds, you know. And I am hungry." The white dragon smiles, a cruel, cold expression.

"You hit me with your breath. I'll admit, it wasn't pleasant, but I am still standing here."

Marav's Healing Spirit in the form of a small dragon forms under his hand. (Healing: 5).

"I am here to learn. My god has been leading me down a path that differs from the one I have been on. The normal druidic path isn't where I am destined."

The waitress nods and smiles to Ink, replying, "Meet me out back in one hour." 

Ink waits, barely sipping his drink. About 45 minutes into the wait, he takes out his spell book and casts as a ritual comprehend languages. 

After the casting is complete, he causes Quill to poof into existence just outside the tavern and, seeing through her eyes, guides her to the back of the tavern where she'll find a perch and take a look around. 

Perception 18

After seeing what he can from Quill's vantage point, he enters back into his own senses and heads out back as asked.

In the ice cave, the white dragon is distracted by the small dragon spirit, but laughs cruelly at Marav's words. "Your god. Your god led you here? The idea is laughable. And where is your giant friend? Waiting outside for me?" The dragon starts pacing again, giving you a wide berth, never breaking eye contact.

 Ink notices that other people in the tavern are looking at him strangely as he casts his ritual spell. The patrons are all giving him a wide berth, but no one says anything. 

When you exit to the back alley, the waitress is there, no longer wearing an apron, but nondescript street clothes. She is a half-elf, fairly young. She looks around to make sure no one is following, and offers a seat at a rickety old table at the end of the quiet alley. "You're an intriguing one. Well, you and that owl of yours. What can the Hand of Yartar do for you?" 

"Bahamut led me here. The giant and my companions are not with me."

The healing spirit walks in between the two. "It will heal your if you let it."

What can the Hand of Yartar do for you?" 

Looking up at Quill, Ink says, "Yes - she in intriguing. One of my oldest friends, as strange as it sounds."

He takes a seat at the table and says, "I'm actually here to help resolve a dispute between an associate and your organization. Seems that Kolbaz made a deal with your organization - he didn't tell me the details of it, but mentioned that he paid with his staff. He also said the task was not completed, so he'd like a refund... which seems fair to me. So, I was hoping I could get this resolved on his behalf."

Persuasion: 9

In Yartar: 

The half-elf woman laughs. "Is that what he said? Did Kolbaz also tell you that his 'task' involved something he never disclosed to us? We lost a member trying to fulfill his request, because he failed to tell us that we would be negotiating with hobgoblins." The woman grows somber as she recounts this detail. "Now, if you're willing to pay for the staff, I can get it to you within a day or two, tops. But if not, I'm afraid that we'll be keeping it as damages."

At the cave: 

"I have no need of your pathetic magic, orcling," the white dragon rebuffs Marav. "I am hungry, and if you bring no food with you, then I'll just eat you." The dragon draws closer, and Marav can feel his chill breath. "And then, your bird for dessert..."

"Ever see what a fireball does in a cave... to an ice creature? Or we can talk." Marv cocks his head to the right and places his hand palm side up and fire appears in it.

 The fire is the last straw for the dragon, who says, “You dare threaten ME? I will no longer abide a giantfriend in my presence. Freeze and die!”

As the dragon breathes the last word, another cone of harsh cold exudes from his fanged maw, enveloping Marav.
