The Silver Stars

Picture
The Silverstars take the parties weapons and blind fold them. They are teleported to their secret fortress somewhere in the Marsenlands. Although they are not imprisoned they are put under house arrest in one of the guest chambers of the fortress. The party is allowed to walk through some areas of the fortress until the council decides their fate. Desiderius finds the wizards training grounds and becomes challenged by the head wizard of the fortress. She disables Desiderius in only a few rounds, a humbling experience for him. During this time the party meets many Silverstar members including Fick Falcon, he tells them that the Crown of Imbarael has already been recovered many centuries ago. It is currently located in the temple of Imbarael in Astaran. The party also meets Eurendur again; apparently he is a high ranking Silverstar.

The next day the party is summoned to the council, to decide their fate. The party tells them everything. The council demands the return of the sacred books found inside the temple of Cylynet. After returning them the council decides that the party's ideas are noble and good. The council session barely over, Eurendur turns to the party and asks them to join the Silverstars. 

With all of the battles and troubles the party has grown in experience and Desiderius is now able to cast Teleport. With it they return to Wyvenhorn to confront Emmerence Thailone with everything the party knows. The party barges through the guards and demands an explanation from Emmerence. He tells the party that he has never seen them and can't remember him. After more questioning the party discovers that the lady that was standing next to him when the party first met him was fired and now hunted. She goes by the name of Minoeska and travels with a mysterious man with blonde, curly hair. The party believes she is the one that sent them on a wild goose chase into the Marsenlands. 

They then decide to go to Fergus Ton in Deanardas. Upon confronting him he demands the party hands over the items. Without any form of explanation the party refuses him and goes away. With the three items in hand the party tries to discover what they do as the crown couldn't be the real thing Fergus and Minoeska were after. Maybe the three items fuse together in some way. 

The Lady Luck

Picture
The party has no time to think about it for long as they return to the Silver Star fortress. Upon arrival Eurendur approaches them and tells them he needs their aid in protecting Astaran from the Saranthar Empire. Together with Eurendur they board the air ship Lady Luck captained by Emile Alvis. Eurendur opts for this mode of transportation instead of teleporting into Astaran because he doesn't want enemy wizards discovering him. For the party this is an awesome experience, some of whom have never even been on a 'normal' ship, were now sailing through the air. On board of the ship Maxx catches the eye of Niriekie, a crew member. Within no time at all they were found walking hand in hand and sharing bunks. 

As the ship sails through the clouds Cyan contacts his mother via Sending spell. She tells him that she is imprisoned. All wizards in Uton are arrested by order of the rulers of the Saranthar Empire. Realizing that the party needs to come to her aid they teleport to Cyan's mother's house. There they find an old lady who gives them shelter.

The following day the party heads out to investigate the city, heavily cloaked with clothes. As they enter the cities main square they are stunned. In the middle of the square a group of human prisoners are gruesomely executed by Jebberix, a minotaur cleric and commander of all Saranthar forces. He tears their limbs apart and splashes their blood over all that see. The party and especially Aneirin are thoroughly troubled. Yet the investigation was useful as they came into contact with Loesio Ragana, leader of the local resistance. With his help the party enters the prison quickly and is able to free Cyan's mother. She tells them that all the wizards had been rounded up and arrested. The more powerful wizards were taken to the Temple of Cyan. The party gathers her arms and goes to the temple, breaking in they discover no wizards but encounter some demons and finally Jebberix himself. He is finally defeated but a large Saranthar force of demons and guards forces them to retreat. 

Barely having been able to catch their breath a sending from Eurendur tells them the Lady Luck is under attack.
