The gold she promised as a reward is in her backpack. Vatri Whistlebaum is also near the weather vane, and if the characters return Pierre to the village, Vatri gives them her Stone of Good Luck as promised. With the mayor’s help, the missing gems easily slot back into the weather vane. The villagers gather around the Storm’s Eye Weather Vane with their gazes cast toward the shore. Peals of thunder shake the ground, and flashes of lightning illuminate dark clouds rolling in from the sea.The weather vane’s crossbar begins to twirl, and ribbons of blue-green energy pulse from the whole structure. As the storm sweeps toward Respite, the clouds suddenly part around the village. Despite howling winds tearing across the surrounding countryside, nary a breeze nor a drop of rain hits Respite.The villagers cheer as the storm passes. Some weep with relief. Mayor Gale regards you with a warm smile. “You saved us,” she says. “All hail the heroes of Respite!” ***Hoard Magic Items*** Add the following items to the rewards acquired in the first three adventures: a Scaled Ornament in “Death at Sunset,” a Dragon Vessel in “Baker’s Doesn’t,” and a Dragon’s Wrath Weapon and a Dragon-Touched Focus in “The Will of Orcus.” All four items are Slumbering when the characters first acquire them, but in later adventures, the items can be awakened by steeping them in dragons’ hoards.
