The Daggerford Inquisition

No one expects the Daggerford Inquisition, being the adventures and mishaps of a motley crew of the Daggerford Militia.

Thursday, June 19, 2003

This continues on after the characters had retreated to rest after the fireball went off in the vault room. Still the June 13 game night. (By the way, we reset the vault lever and the wall reappeared.)

The group returned upstairs to check the door they left the day before. They went cautiously, looking for kir-lanen to pop up at any turn. We opened the door to find green slime coating the walls of a medium size room. Some sort of entry over the cistern against the far wall. Gareth made short work of the green slime with a cure disease spell. The stuff turned brown and curled up and dried to flaky nothing. Found helmet and gauntlets on one shelf that we thought might have been used for checking through the cistern from within. We're not interested in looking that close right now.
We check the vault room again, using a spell to manipulate the hidden lever. Good idea because the fireball seems to have reset itself. Gareth uses a spell to translate the words on the wall and then another to copy the words into some scrolls. It turns out to be the story of some great beings coming to the forefathers of a certain dwarf clan and asking them to take on the job of protecting the crystal shard that holds the Heart of Fire, which can be used to recreate the sword Godslayer. Hmm. We're thinking that with the kir-lanens hatred of all things holy that maybe this was what they were looking for in this dwarf delve.

Return to the pillar room and reset the levers. Water from the stream fed cistern flows brown for a bit but soon clears up. We check the rain fed cistern as well and it appears uncontaminated. It looks like we were successful.

We meet with Kronin before we leave. He says that since it has been very well proven that this place isn't really safe, he asks that we take King Delvin's crown to his brother in Daggerford for safe keeping. We agree and also agree to take the Heart of Fire for safekeeping as well.
The dwarfs see us on our way out their secret door. Milo uses his tracking ability to eliminate the groups trail from the secret door. Our trip down river to Daggerford is uneventful. We speak privately with Master Ironeater. Kind Delvin's crown is quickly secreted away to somewhere safe. We then ask Ironeater for advice on what to do with the Heart of Fire. He says that it is known that the clan that had agreed to watch over the Heart has long since died out. But, as he looks right at Magnus, he says he believes he knows of another that would be quite up to taking over the job. Magnus agrees to take on the responsibility, along with the rest of us.

A couple days later, we are officially summoned to appear before the Council. In a very public ceremony, our group is each given medals (Kyra not happy and refuses to take down her hood. Gee, a rogue that doesn't want public recognition. Wonder why.) and a cash reward for clearing the contamination from the river.

Until next episode.
