When travelling to Hillsfar, we encountered a caravan that was being slaughtered by undead, proclaiming their vengance. After an admittably difficult encounter, we were able to fight them back, but seeing their undead nature as Revenants, we knew we only had so long until they eventually came back.
Turns out the caravan has plundered the ancient grave of an order of paladins under the leadership of Solina. Most of them died in a battle againts the ice giant Vornjolnir, servant to the Harrowed King. Though it was strange that a order of paladins would fall victim to necromantic magic, we chose to investigate. Upon finding the second caravan slaughtered as well, we followed the tracks to a nearby farmstead, where the owner informed us of the grave nearby. Inside the tomb, the restless spirits and Solina held court over what they believed to be the thieves. We could convince them to let them go, but Solina had another request. Since their tomb was now opened, Vornjolnir's henchmen hand placed runes in here, that made the former warriors rise as undead. We agreed to destroy the runes and even defeated Vornjolnir's lakay.

Story Award: Solina’s Blessing
In the event that you come across Vornjolnir's machinations or the Harrowed King's relics, know that Solina’s blessing is upon you.

We were investigating a rise in undead-attacks in the border kingdoms that was said to be related to an organisation called the "Great Oak Mercenary Company". And, would you know it, right away we were attacked by a army of undead. After a hard fight and a deserved rest we investigated further and found the base of the mercenaries, where their leader was... not really himself. Sadly, he didn't want to let his condition be further identified and consistently sent us to the nearby lake to see what's wrong there. And found an aboleth. The abberation convinced one of us to follow them into the waters, but we were able to kill the beast before it could do further harm. After returning to the headquarters, we found the leader's brain missing. Soon after, a stunning blast hit us from above. This was followed by a tense battle against a mind flayer, that was influencing the leader to find someone to eliminate the aboleth living in the lake. Seems like the Great Oak Mercenary Company was subterfuged by an organisation called the Black Wyvern

Back home again in Waterdeep we were contacted by the Baron of Blood because some other Vampire clan called the "Undertakers" settled here. Since they are a potential danger to the city (and the Baron needs a new lair) we should find a way to get them out. Sadly, they settled down in Undermountain. In order to find an backdoor entrance to Undermountain, we asked Durnan, who, of course, would not part with that information for cheap. He wanted us to find some blue root to make a new ale. So we set out to find the entrance to a mine, coming across an old dwarven "archeologist" that gave us some hints and some blue skeletons, before stumbling into a chamber full of of blue dyed, dwarven skeletons. Following the advice from the dwarf, I consumed some of the root and - oof - I learned so much about the dwarven history. There are about 10 arias in there just waiting to be written. All lost to history... And almost completly lost, since the whole mine was about to collapse, due to a golem, deployed by the Undertakers to drill a way into Undermountain. In a hushed attempet we were able to stabilize the structure and after a short breather we were looking for the golem. A though, but doable fight full of fireballs and counterspells later, a dead sorcerer and a disassembled golem lay at out feet. Back at the Yawning Portal, Durnan was more than happy about the supply of blue root and started his new recipie.

Story Award: Endless Bluetooth Ale
If a way was discovered to set up a supply of the blue lichen to the Yawning Portal, Durnan provides all the Bluetooth Ale the characters can drink whenever they visit. Brewed from the blue lichen grown on the skeletons of dwarves left for dead in the Stonebone Mines, bluetooth ale is a truly unique beverage.
The strong dwarven-style ale is a rich sapphire color and has a faint earthy taste. While the ale lacks most of the special properties of the blue lichen, it still can turn the imbibers teeth (and bones) temporarily blue.
The ale functions as an ingested poison. The drinker must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw, or their skeleton turns a dark shade of blue for 24 hours.

Back in Waterdeep, more exactly in Undermountain Volo found us again. This time he'd lost a key that's supposed to open another door to another vault with another treasure. But tracking the key proofed to be difficult. On the way we came across a series of murders. The traces lead to a heavily trapped house (we found every trap). At the end of the hallway waited a mindflayer's private tea party. After a pleasant conversation, he pointed us to a half-drow courier Cory’bant’ex, who currently delivers the key to the Zhents on the surface

In Mulmaster, some of the guards shoved a cloak in my hand and told me I was not supposed to cast any spells over 3rd level. Oh well, it was cold anyways. IN the tavern we were staying they hosted a pitfight, and eager to try my magic (that was allowed here) I participated. After our victory, we were contacted by a dwarf (who supposedly wanted to hear that hilarious joke again that had one of the gladiators rolling in laughter until my teammates kicked him unconcious).
A feud between some dwarven brothers escalated, but now they are seeking reconsiliation. Since both leaders are about to die, they asked us to deliver their well-wishes to the other side. Easier said than done, since there was an avalanche, an army of yetis and very hard wather conditions (that new cloak did not help very much). Turns out, the mine that the fight was about was now overrun by a medusa and her gargoyles.
After some scouting, we confronted the enemy forces rather head on. Thanks to the weapons of warnings' constant screaming, the Medusa was not able to surprise us and jumped into a chasm out of shame, ending the encounter early.
We finished up the last wishes of the dying brothers when those cloak-sellers pressured me to do paperwork worth three days!

We were invited to a fancy party in Waterdeep. Sadly, instead of a festive evening we got an abandoned house and some minor undead. The house was kind of cosy, but the lady of the house planned on sacrificing us and in our attempt to destroy them we were sucked back onto the material plane.
... When I'm good enough a wizard, I'm going to build my own mansion in the Border Ethereal...
