Notes
While the harpers in the party take one last night flight on their griffons… The rest of the party pulls into Xanathar’s keep and begins looking for their prey… Worvil the weevil. After much back and forth with the bartender of the only Inn in the small town, the party comes to believe that “lurg” the dishwasher could very well be the Weevil. But, it appears that he made the party as they approached and has skipped town. While doing some investigation and finding a suspicious map to what appears to be a barbarian burial grounds with a large X the two is suddenly attacked by a Fire giant and several ogres and hobgoblins who lay siege to the walls from a distance. While the townsfolk and garrison rush off to defend the walls, a small party of hobgoblins find our intrepid adventurers going through the Weevils things. The natural thing happens and everyone gets aggressive. True to their bloodthirsty nature, the Defenders of the North… Defend… the hobgoblins to death, including one who was running away, he gets… Defended… in the back with two arrows. Shortly after the back ally fight with the hobgoblins, the fire giant and his siege crew retreat. While the town rejoices and congratulates themselves, it is obvious to our brave crew that they attack was just a distraction and that the hobgoblins were after the Weevil as well. The townsfolk relay a message that the Defenders presence is requested in Mirabar, where all of the dwarven kings and queens have gathered for meeting to discuss happenings in the north. Looking for information on the whereabouts of the map they found, the party goes to the lionsheild Coster to enquire if they have any idea where the mysterious island that seems to be in the shape of a Pegasus could be. They find that this is the location of the burial mounds of the Sky Pony Uthgardt clan and a very dangerous place to venture. Shortly after leaving the town on their way to investigate, they are set upon by a hobgoblin waving a white flag of truce. Turns out they were right and the Giant was after the weevil as well. Through much conversation they find that the weevil has been working for the fire giants. Collecting pieces of an ancient artifact called the Vonindod. The weevil seems to have double crossed the Fire giant and he came looking for him. After much parlay, the party offers to track down Worvil for him. And that is where we being our next episode…
