The World of Quol

(November 18) The party returns to Rajgan to report to Lord Gimgem on their mission to capture or kill Gargax and his renegade wyvern riders. Gargax has escaped them, as has much of his gang, but the loyal wyvern riders from the Winged College will be patrolling to find them, and their base in the Stormcloud will dissolve now that the silver dragon Galomere has been slain. Gimgem gives them a new mission: seek out the construct known as the Starling, and capture or destroy it if possible. He also tells them to find and capture the rogue halfling named Periwinkle Carn, who had been a member of the Graz'zt cult in Asherhet ( session 4 ), and had acted as the go-between for the Gray King in transferring the oblexes to their recipients on the surface. He wants Carn taken alive if possible for questioning. The Starling cannot be interrogated with magic, and can be destroyed if necessary. Lord Gimgem stresses that the party must be inconspicuous as they infiltrate the black market ...

(November 11) Lord Gimgem, head of the Rajgani Swords, has invited the party to stay in the VIP guest quarters within the Valorium, the main military citadel and training grounds in Rajgan. Each member of the party has their own room and access to the councils of Gimgem and other high-ranking officials within the Empire. After the dockside showdown with Sashi and his gang, Dara settles into her new quarters to meditate. The specter that had once been the warlock Ignominy still accompanies her; ordinarily a specter Dara has summoned will dissipate during Dara's rest. Ignominy, however, seems to grow stronger, solidifying as Dara's link to her dissolves. Ignominy seems to knit together the broken remains of her body around her spirit, straightening crushed limbs, her hair turning a white so blinding it almost appears black. In a whisper that carries with it the sound of raven caws, Ignominy warns Dara, "There is no escape for us, sister. The Mother of Sorrows always cl...

(November 4, 2018) Via a note sent in the hand of the ex-gladiator Gora, the party lures the bandit chief Sashi to an ambush at an abandoned dockyard in Rajgan's riverside district. Sashi brings his second-in-command Ignominy, as well as various members of his gang, but the adventurers are supported by guards from the Rajgan Swords and some of the party's new lycanthrope friends. Lan pilots the airship to provide air support, with Monkey ready at the forward cannon. Ward knew Sashi during her circus days, when Sashi was a fellow sword performer who went by the moniker "The Fabulous Carl." Similarly, when the party helped free Ignominy from prison to earn their place in Sashi's gang, Dara recognized her as a fellow warlock, possibly even operating on behalf of the same patron. Battle begins immediately. Dara hexes Ignominy and eldritch-blasts her. Ward taunts Sashi with vicious mockery. Sashi takes cover on the wreck of a ship abandoned at the dock, and the r...
