Session 42

Summer 616 MR

Deep into the volcano, the heroes defeat the fire giant leaders, and also face the mother of the wyvern brood, an enormous blooded specimen capable of breathing fire. In her treasure hoard, the heroes find the magical spear Brichlur. With the beast dead, the party frees the elven maidens kept prisoner, among them the beautiful princess Siobhan, Daegandal's sister.

They escape the volcano, and travel on gryphon's back to the elven realms. During the trip, a romantic relationship springs between Nathanael and Siobhan. They leave the party for a week, while the others proceed to the elven capital, where they hope to forge a new alliance.

While Nathanael spends blissful days in Siobahn's lake-house, the heroes receive a cold welcome in the elven city of Rhosneibhal. At first, Queen Llaeddra Siannodenel refuses to meet them, already enraged by their mere presence. Siobhan and Nathanael travel to the city thanks to the her magic, and she persuades her mother to allow the heroes to meet her.

As the heroes enter the royal palace, they prepare themselves to face the wrath of Queen Llaeddra.
