At Last, a Wedding!

A report from Milo, with commentary by Eren...

The wedding of Kyra and her prince finally went off. Started at dawn of one day and continued through to dawn of the next. Covered a bit less time for the guests than the participants. The wedding party was supported by mass Endurance type spells worked into the ceremony by the Triune priests. The wedding guests were allowed to leave the ceremony site at intervals for breaks.

After the ceremony, the newly wedded went off to consumate. The rest of our party headed out of town. Our personal guests were taken back to their places and we went to Daggerford.

After some post-wedding partying, that is. Eren spent a fair bit of time trying to explain (over a lot of mushroom spirits) to Larkin why Bill isn't someone she could consider dating. Yes, he looks like a halfling, but he's a red dragon, for cryin' out loud. Yes, her mom likes him, but she doesn't know he's a red dragon.

Gareth confirmed that it appeared we needed to take Aura's crystal ball prison to a dead magic area to get her out. We headed south and began filling in Larkin about all our enemies along the way. We got to the area of the lab and located one of the zones that extended above ground. Larkin split the ball apart with a mighty blow from his hands and Aura was back to herself once he brought her outside the dead magic zone. Larkin (at least I think it was him. I know somebody did this.) pocketed the two halves of the crystal ball so they could be studied later.

I think Eren has one piece... she's very interested in the runes. But I could be wrong.

We went from there to the town of Bowshot. The rest of us stayed in town while Larkin went off to meet a contact he'd been told to seek out.

The end of the nights session was about the time we started bumping into refugees. They carried news that a group of trolls came down from the High Moor and are attacking the Way Inn. The last any of the refugees knew, the innkeeper and his supporters stayed behind to defend the place.

The scariest piece of information was about the leader of the trolls. It reportedly had red skin and at least one refugee swore it breathed fire. I think he said that it was larger than normal and had wings too, but I'm not sure. (Sounds like there's some more randy dragons out there. First Frostburn and now this monkey. Jeesh. Hope it doesn't blow up.)

Yeah, what is it with exploding dragons, anyways? Eren
