Story 7/26/2020

The session started off with the group talking with the last Kianarack clone that was left alive. He was minutes from death, and was begging the group to transfer his power to them, per his voodoo soul magic. He said he didn't want to go like this, but he would rather someone have his power than it simply fade into the ether.

The group asked him a few questions about how the magic worked, and he explained that transferring power is usually a net gain, but it's not quite as tangible as just an increase to stats. The person absorbing the power would suddenly be better at a few random things, and worse at others. They might recognize someone or someplace that they didn't previously, and they might have dreams that aren't their own.

He also explained that he had absorbed the power of many others in his time, and it extended his life. He had even absorbed power from followers of the Raven Queen, although their power was just as good as anyone's. Klon attempted to stabilize him, but found he was already on the twilight of death, and could not be saved with that type of magic. He also learned that Kianarack may have died before, indicating potential resurrection. Ultimately, Klon and Lunashe decided to allow Kianarack to transfer his power into them, and they would split

it. Kianarack agreed, and transferred his power into them. They attempted to take his body and bury it on the outskirts of town, but couldn't find an existing Raven Queen altar/cove, so they built one themselves. They did the best they could, although it was fairly rough compared to most out there.

Meanwhile, Beorn, Erevan and Shalara got a drink at the local tavern, and heard about all the locals and the trouble they were having with Dragonborn coming into the town and carrying off previous goods as tribute for various dragons of the Gem Dragonflight that lived nearby. Each Dragonborn tribe would wear the Gemstones of their associated dragon (like Amethyst, Ruby, etc.), and each dragon had a different interest in particular goods. Eventually Klon and Lunashe showed up, and the group learned that the Topaz dragon was likely behind the theft of the spell scroll, and that a shipment of goods that the Topaz tribe would steal were coming in to the docks that night. They waited until nightfall, found the shipment, following it, captured a Topaz Dragonborn named Nuulthec. He gave himself up, and told them the Topaz dragon's name was Noskrothintur, and that he could take them to his lair (about 2 weeks journey away). He also agreed that if they killed Noskrothintur, he would try and convince the Topaz tribe to follow the Raven Queen.

The group journeyed to the lair, and confronted Noskrothintur. The fight was difficult, and everyone but Shalara took heavy damage from a lightning storm that sent gold flying in every direction, but the group prevailed and slayed their first dragon. They found 5000g, numerous Topaz gems worth 5000g, a piece of the urn, and the spell scroll they were looking for....
