When we left off, we had encountered a small hole, through which we could see an encampment. The Bear went into the encampment. But that player is not present tonight.

We attempt to follow the trail of the goblins with human (townsfolk) captives.

We move on. We encounter a group of six Quaggoth.
C1 init 12

We kill 5. The sixth surrenders. We gain a little information.

We explore further. Door with green light coming through the crack. We open the door. 2 mind flayers (illithids). We attack. Tarenth gets grappled and stunned. Most of the rest of us get stunned at distance (only 1 round). We had enough allies still active that we didn't get too damaged. We killed one. The second tried to teleport, but Counterspell prevented that. We killed it. We kept 2 heads (bag of holding) in case we want to speak with dead.

In the room is a stone statue of a mind flayer with a brain in each hand. It wears a pendant. The brains move (change?) when we aren't looking. There is a glow of green coming off it. There is no magic. We detect the trace of teleportation magic.

The goblin/captive tracks end here. We find a closet built for and containing more mind flayer robes. We explore rooms.

Perfume, gem. - see loot

A door has a placard saying something like:
she of sacred flight and knows only the truth

We find a room with 2 prison cells. Under the trash on the ground a scrawled message:
3 monsters lead them all

We enter various rooms. One contains a gray skinned mind flayer. The usual ones have purple skin. She asks if we are there to join. We explain we got separated from our goblin allies. We attempt to get information. She shows us in her floating crystal a set of doors down a hallway south of the battle.
First door on the left.

Finally she offers information as to the destination of the prisoners. They went 3 ways. Some to:
Chishinix
Hashutu
Voalsh

Desk with letters in Undercommon.
Ink well - see loot

A mind flayer doing a dissection of a non human creature with a lot of eyes. We can't determine more. Also there are two 1-eyed creatures in that room.

We continue north. We find a large prison room.
My notes indicate we will start with a fight. I didn't write down what we saw.
End session.

We are an existing party. We were returning by boat from a job. Ran into storm. Ship needed repairs. Docked ship at island, in the town of Westphal. We've been awaiting repairs for 4 days.

We have learned some information about the setting.

Lady Drysen Israh is the queen of this island. There is another island run by High King Kinrock. Israh may have set her sights on getting that island. Her police/army is called Dara Dragoons.

In tavern. Bell ringing. Patrons stand like zombies and walk towards door. Door flings open. Man with wound enters. Runs to back door followed by 4 Dragoon guards. Outside it's all red light.

Sent owl. Owl observes groups of zombies and groups of Dragoon guards. The guards are searching for something, entering buildings. Owl listens. "We must find him, or face her." The zombies were in groups of 10-15, and so were the guards.

We rescued the wounded man, Captain Stephan. He had been on a mission to rescue Prince Olin, son of King Kinrock. We decided to help him. He needs to get off this island and report back to Kinrock. All the ships are burning in the harbor. He's got a backup boat in the northern town of Lanring. We have 11 hours to get him there and 10 more hours of night.

We ask him what's going on. Oh, Queen Israh is probably doing a blood moon ritual. It allows her to take control of all undead.

We decide the large groups of zombies and guards are too likely to discover Capt. Stephan, so we choose the sewers. After hitting a dead end, we decide to exit through the grate and make for a nearby gate. The closest gate is the main northern gate which is crawling with guards. Owl discovers another gate, a pedestrian gate, to the east. We go there. Sir Mancha puts Capt. Stephan on his horse which teleports 60 ft away, outside the gate. We then successfully talk our way out the gate.

We find the horse and Capt. Stephan. We decide we will head north, staying parallel to the main north-south road.

The dragon known as the Verdant Cloud, Verthandantalynx, had 3 children. They are now fighting for the territory in Phlan.

Her mate was (why were we told?) Vorgansharax.
Internet doesn't say Vorgansharax was the mate.

Q: What module... ?
A: If it it an Epic you are probably looking for the Season 1 Epic The Corruption of Kryptgarden. It features Claugiyliamatar (Old Gnawbones). Season 1 of AL also features Vorgansharax (The Maimed Virulence) and his takeover of the city of Phlan. One of the Tier 2 AL Myth Drannor modules also briefly features Verthandantalynx (The Verdant Cloud) as a quest giver.

Verthandantalynx (Verdant Cloud) had 3 children, 2 daughters and a son.
brother: Gwyr
sisters: Berdea & Verdian

copy/paste
Verthandantalynx (VER-tha-DAN-ta-links). The former mate of Vorgansharx, the Maimed Virulence, she is also known as the Verdant Cloud.

"Verdian"
Viridianantallax (Veer-id-eean-an-tall-ax). One of the brood of Verthandantalynx and Vorgansharax. Viridian is strong and uses his strength to intimidate lesser beings.

"Berdea"
Berdeanostia (Bar-dee-a-no-stee-a). One of the brood of Verthandantalynx and Vorgansharax. Berdea cares little for anything but making sure her next meal is nearby.

"Gwyr"
Gwyrddentuliar (Gwee-erd-en-tul-ear). One of the brood of Verthandantalynx and Vorgansharax.

Often, I will use brother and sisters.

The fighting of the sisters is wreaking havoc on the villages of the forest. Get them to leave, or kill them.

He's working for Gwyr. He will take us there. We let the kobold go.

We arrive at cliff face. Gwyr looms overhead from his cave.

We dialog.

At first he demands 3 uncommon magic items. Later, we persuade him (I don't recall what we said, DM: noted certain words) to accept 1 single magic item, the something Elf Blade. It is rumored to be found recently. We must return to our in order to gather information.

If we bring that sword, he will leave.

Elmwood
Rumors of eccentric archeologist, Corolla (clearly misspelled), rumored to have found something at ancient elven ruined outpost along Dranthor River, formerly owned by Acvalar Army of Cormanthor (elves).

Salem, tabaxi Mo-5/Ro-2 (Forrest)

Neverwinter city, aka Skilled Hands, aka Jewel of the North.
D. Neverember is the city premier. He regularly hires mercenaries or adventurers to keep the city secure. We are to have a meeting in the Protectorate Enclave in the Hall of Justice with Kavori Fairheart, Protector of ___.
We are in the temple of Tier, in the foyer, as she comes storming out from a meeting. She is angry, sees us composes herself and greets us. Champions: I have hired you for a mission. You are known to be capable and trustworthy.

Bodies have been appearing. You are to investigate. She has a hunch it may involve cults. If so, we are empowered to defend ourselves.

She thinks there are 3 related bodies. 1 has disappeared, but 2 are still being guarded.

These bodies have been appearing around the Docks district. A body is in the Docks Market. Guards are protecting it. The second is to be found at the harbormaster's office. He is Jinn. There is a 3rd, which was reported but seems to have disappeared. They were all reported at the same time, which is why she has mentally connected them. That 3rd body was initially discovered in the Swamp Docks area. That semi-autonomous region is controlled by the Zahaguin tribe of fishfolk.

If we discover cultist activity, we are to report our findings to her. She can be found here or at the Beached Leviathan #2, a tavern run by a friend of Neverember.

We select the harbormaster as the first destination. We arrive. The harbormaster is unconscious in the middle of the room.

Combat with shadowy creatures. We prevail. We saved the harbormaster who gives us some information. Most of the information came from viewing the body.

The body was covered with etchings, staples and bolts at the wrists, ankles and neck. We also discover a shipment of purple pufferfish destined for Barbous Chateau, a noble house. We are able to collect valuable poisons from the dead fish. See loot.

The body is female, high elf, elderly, in a ball dress. One of our party members says she looks familiar, but can't fully recall. Something about snow. (Later on, we discover Yuki is Japanese for snow. That's her name: Yuki)

Next, we travel to the Docks Area. The murder area is blocked by Wintershield Guards. They agree to let us pass once we point out we are investigating for the good of the city. On our way we are joined by Kavori Fairheart. Even she couldn't get past the guards, something about jurisdiction.

Another female body, surrounded by blood, too much blood for a humanoid creature.

Combat -
This time we are faced with 2 red jellies (gelatinous creatures) and 3 clear ones. During combat our druid blasts 3 clear ones with lightning. Oops. They split into 6 instead. They (the red and clear) have resistance and/or immunity to a lot of our damage. Nonetheless, we prevail.

After the battle, we continue our investigation.

1
The blood is dragon's blood. And the body has the same appearance: staples and bolts at the wrists, ankles and neck. In this case, we can see the limbs are mismatched.

2
The etchings are in a language we don't know. Our druid casts a spell. She learns the etchings refer to using the soul like a battery.

3
Finally, there is an eyeball in the corpse's mouth.

4
This corpse is a human female, in her 30s, also in a ball dress.

Something about Bella (incomplete notes: perhaps name of body).

Something seems to have changed around the time of the "defeat of the Red Wizards near the coliseum." (See movie: Dungeons & Dragons for more)

End of session.

Loot:
Each vial of poison can be kept (by one player, not replicated) or sold (and split with the party). The party decided to sell both and split the gold. (Otherwise, the item should be Purple Worm Poison, customized to be from Purple Pufferfish. Isaiah, indicated the poison was remarkable.)

Gold:
2000 + 2000 + 500 = 4500/5 = 900 each.

We also each get 1 healing potion.

Swap - Consumable
Deposit: Bead of Force
Withdraw: Mind Crystal (Careful)

While leaving dungeon, we collect emerald (250g) & Lantern of Revealing. We discover (or pass again) a mural on wall depicting mindflayer ritual.

Travel to Phandalin.
Crowd near Shrine of Luck. Three locals acting animalistic, feral. We subdue them, tie them up and investigate the situation. We instruct locals to lock the "ferals" in the Stone Hill Inn.

Our investigation leads to the Sleeping Giant Inn. We question the 2 people there: a drunk and the bartender. Bartender says something about "great and terrible mind."

We discover a tunnel and follow it... for miles.
First fork: we go right
Second fork: we go left
At the bottom of a chasm we discover the journal of Thorgrin Ironquill (worth 450g)

We meet people who were being kidnapped by goblins. Something 'took' the goblins. We prepare for combat. Evaelyn (Rhyndera) insists on departing to guide the rescued people to safety.

Combat begins against "brain creatures"

We prevail.

We discover leather scraps (no value?) & Careful Mind Crystal.

We do not depart the tunnel.
Session ends.

We start in Baldur's Gate at the Adventurers League Hall in the lower city. It is a 3-story building. It's raining. As each of us enters, we are greeted by Yola at the front desk. She knows we've been requested. She provides a place to gather, the bar.

We are being asked to provide security for the Suhunka Trials (games [Olympics]) in Shugapoor (city). The job lasts for 12 days. Each will get 200 gp.

We enter a separate room. A stone goliath sits in front of a bowl. We are asked to sit around the bowl, too. He is:
Kurjhateeka, a priest.

The 3 great cities are involved in the games.

Aravati temple (?) in Maravarey (?)

Nisha (nickname) in Manivarsha is the target of our protection.
High River Singer (priest) Plabon is our contact.

The goliath begins a ritual around the bowl, recognizing the 4 gods and 4 cities.
Joltara - mountain, sky, rain, ice, snow; White
May Yoo - plains, wine, generous, bounty: Green/Emerald
Irravati - curious, cunning, quick, silver-tongued; Blue/Sapphire
Aderow-hit - missing city, find your children; Red

Shell, mix
We see a city image. We are asked to enter the bowl and are transported, 1-by-1, to the city in the market square.

Tents, vendors, a stage near the temple, all on a quay. This is:
Shah-gah-poor.

Humid, hot, balmy.

I spend 10 silver for 2 more rations.

Tidal waves engulf the market square while Nisha is dancing. 2 hostile turtles are deposited. We fight them to save the citizens, while attempting to protect Nisha. Next wave, 2 electric eels are deposited. Nisha decides to take shelter in the temple. Keyrie accompanies (carries?) her. A third wave, this time imbued with glowing red light. Keyrie sees Nisha turn to water and vanish. Meanwhile the rest continue the battle. We prevail.

We talk to Plabon.

He said the red wave brought up emotions, jealousy.
Manivarsa was destroyed by a red wave in the past. That's when the city was lost.
Since we were offered 200 gold each, he alters the deal. We get 100 now and another 100 if we return Nisha.

Session ends.
Long rest is approved.

When we left off, we had encountered a small hole, through which we could see an encampment. The Bear went into the encampment. But that player is not present tonight.

We attempt to follow the trail of the goblins with human (townsfolk) captives.

We move on. We encounter a group of six Quaggoth.
C1 init 12

We kill 5. The sixth surrenders. We gain a little information.

We explore further. Door with green light coming through the crack. We open the door. 2 mind flayers (illithids). We attack. Tarenth gets grappled and stunned. Most of the rest of us get stunned at distance (only 1 round). We had enough allies still active that we didn't get too damaged. We killed one. The second tried to teleport, but Counterspell prevented that. We killed it. We kept 2 heads (bag of holding) in case we want to speak with dead.

In the room is a stone statue of a mind flayer with a brain in each hand. It wears a pendant. The brains move (change?) when we aren't looking. There is a glow of green coming off it. There is no magic. We detect the trace of teleportation magic.

The goblin/captive tracks end here. We find a closet built for and containing more mind flayer robes. We explore rooms.

Perfume, gem. - see loot

A door has a placard saying something like:
she of sacred flight and knows only the truth

We find a room with 2 prison cells. Under the trash on the ground a scrawled message:
3 monsters lead them all

We enter various rooms. One contains a gray skinned mind flayer. The usual ones have purple skin. She asks if we are there to join. We explain we got separated from our goblin allies. We attempt to get information. She shows us in her floating crystal a set of doors down a hallway south of the battle.
First door on the left.

Finally she offers information as to the destination of the prisoners. They went 3 ways. Some to:
Chishinix
Hashutu
Voalsh

Desk with letters in Undercommon.
Ink well - see loot

A mind flayer doing a dissection of a non human creature with a lot of eyes. We can't determine more. Also there are two 1-eyed creatures in that room.

We continue north. We find a large prison room.
My notes indicate we will start with a fight. I didn't write down what we saw.
End session.

Loot
5 x 500 gp bottles of perfume

We have learned some information about the setting.

Lady Drysen Israh is the queen of this island. There is another island run by High King Kinrock. Israh may have set her sights on getting that island. Her police/army is called Dara Dragoons.

In tavern. Bell ringing. Patrons stand like zombies and walk towards door. Door flings open. Man with wound enters. Runs to back door followed by 4 Dragoon guards. Outside it's all red light.

Sent owl. Owl observes groups of zombies and groups of Dragoon guards. The guards are searching for something, entering buildings. Owl listens. "We must find him, or face her." The zombies were in groups of 10-15, and so were the guards.

We rescued the wounded man, Captain Stephan. He had been on a mission to rescue Prince Olin, son of King Kinrock. We decided to help him. He needs to get off this island and report back to Kinrock. All the ships are burning in the harbor. He's got a backup boat in the northern town of Lanring. We have 11 hours to get him there and 10 more hours of night.

We ask him what's going on. Oh, Queen Israh is probably doing a blood moon ritual. It allows her to take control of all undead.

We decide the large groups of zombies and guards are too likely to discover Capt. Stephan, so we choose the sewers. After hitting a dead end, we decide to exit through the grate and make for a nearby gate. The closest gate is the main northern gate which is crawling with guards. Owl discovers another gate, a pedestrian gate, to the east. We go there. Sir Mancha puts Capt. Stephan on his horse which teleports 60 ft away, outside the gate. We then successfully talk our way out the gate.

We find the horse and Capt. Stephan. We decide we will head north, staying parallel to the main north-south road.

The dragon known as the Verdant Cloud, Verthandantalynx, had 3 children. They are now fighting for the territory in Phlan.

Her mate was (why were we told?) Vorgansharax.
Internet doesn't say Vorgansharax was the mate.

Q: What module... ?
A: If it it an Epic you are probably looking for the Season 1 Epic The Corruption of Kryptgarden. It features Claugiyliamatar (Old Gnawbones). Season 1 of AL also features Vorgansharax (The Maimed Virulence) and his takeover of the city of Phlan. One of the Tier 2 AL Myth Drannor modules also briefly features Verthandantalynx (The Verdant Cloud) as a quest giver.

Verthandantalynx (Verdant Cloud) had 3 children, 2 daughters and a son.
brother: Gwyr
sisters: Berdea & Verdian

copy/paste
Verthandantalynx (VER-tha-DAN-ta-links). The former mate of Vorgansharx, the Maimed Virulence, she is also known as the Verdant Cloud.

"Verdian"
Viridianantallax (Veer-id-eean-an-tall-ax). One of the brood of Verthandantalynx and Vorgansharax. Viridian is strong and uses his strength to intimidate lesser beings.

"Berdea"
Berdeanostia (Bar-dee-a-no-stee-a). One of the brood of Verthandantalynx and Vorgansharax. Berdea cares little for anything but making sure her next meal is nearby.

"Gwyr"
Gwyrddentuliar (Gwee-erd-en-tul-ear). One of the brood of Verthandantalynx and Vorgansharax.

Often, I will use brother and sisters.

The fighting of the sisters is wreaking havoc on the villages of the forest. Get them to leave, or kill them.

He's working for Gwyr. He will take us there. We let the kobold go.

We arrive at cliff face. Gwyr looms overhead from his cave.

We dialog.

At first he demands 3 uncommon magic items. Later, we persuade him (I don't recall what we said, DM: noted certain words) to accept 1 single magic item, the something Elf Blade. It is rumored to be found recently. We must return to our in order to gather information.

If we bring that sword, he will leave.

Elmwood
Rumors of eccentric archeologist, Corolla (clearly misspelled), rumored to have found something at ancient elven ruined outpost along Dranthor River, formerly owned by Acvalar Army of Cormanthor (elves).

Salem, tabaxi Mo-5/Ro-2 (Forrest)

Neverwinter city, aka Skilled Hands, aka Jewel of the North.
D. Neverember is the city premier. He regularly hires mercenaries or adventurers to keep the city secure. We are to have a meeting in the Protectorate Enclave in the Hall of Justice with Kavori Fairheart, Protector of ___.
We are in the temple of Tier, in the foyer, as she comes storming out from a meeting. She is angry, sees us composes herself and greets us. Champions: I have hired you for a mission. You are known to be capable and trustworthy.

Bodies have been appearing. You are to investigate. She has a hunch it may involve cults. If so, we are empowered to defend ourselves.

She thinks there are 3 related bodies. 1 has disappeared, but 2 are still being guarded.

These bodies have been appearing around the Docks district. A body is in the Docks Market. Guards are protecting it. The second is to be found at the harbormaster's office. He is Jinn. There is a 3rd, which was reported but seems to have disappeared. They were all reported at the same time, which is why she has mentally connected them. That 3rd body was initially discovered in the Swamp Docks area. That semi-autonomous region is controlled by the Zahaguin tribe of fishfolk.

If we discover cultist activity, we are to report our findings to her. She can be found here or at the Beached Leviathan #2, a tavern run by a friend of Neverember.

We select the harbormaster as the first destination. We arrive. The harbormaster is unconscious in the middle of the room.

Combat with shadowy creatures. We prevail. We saved the harbormaster who gives us some information. Most of the information came from viewing the body.

The body was covered with etchings, staples and bolts at the wrists, ankles and neck. We also discover a shipment of purple pufferfish destined for Barbous Chateau, a noble house. We are able to collect valuable poisons from the dead fish. See loot.

The body is female, high elf, elderly, in a ball dress. One of our party members says she looks familiar, but can't fully recall. Something about snow. (Later on, we discover Yuki is Japanese for snow. That's her name: Yuki)

Next, we travel to the Docks Area. The murder area is blocked by Wintershield Guards. They agree to let us pass once we point out we are investigating for the good of the city. On our way we are joined by Kavori Fairheart. Even she couldn't get past the guards, something about jurisdiction.

Another female body, surrounded by blood, too much blood for a humanoid creature.

Combat -
This time we are faced with 2 red jellies (gelatinous creatures) and 3 clear ones. During combat our druid blasts 3 clear ones with lightning. Oops. They split into 6 instead. They (the red and clear) have resistance and/or immunity to a lot of our damage. Nonetheless, we prevail.

After the battle, we continue our investigation.

1
The blood is dragon's blood. And the body has the same appearance: staples and bolts at the wrists, ankles and neck. In this case, we can see the limbs are mismatched.

2
The etchings are in a language we don't know. Our druid casts a spell. She learns the etchings refer to using the soul like a battery.

3
Finally, there is an eyeball in the corpse's mouth.

4
This corpse is a human female, in her 30s, also in a ball dress.

Something about Bella (incomplete notes: perhaps name of body).

Something seems to have changed around the time of the "defeat of the Red Wizards near the coliseum." (See movie: Dungeons & Dragons for more)

End of session.

Loot:
Each vial of poison can be kept (by one player, not replicated) or sold (and split with the party). The party decided to sell both and split the gold. (Otherwise, the item should be Purple Worm Poison, customized to be from Purple Pufferfish. Isaiah, indicated the poison was remarkable.)

Gold:
2000 + 2000 + 500 = 4500/5 = 900 each.

We also each get 1 healing potion.

Swap - Consumable
Deposit: Bead of Force
Withdraw: Mind Crystal (Careful)

While leaving dungeon, we collect emerald (250g) & Lantern of Revealing. We discover (or pass again) a mural on wall depicting mindflayer ritual.

Travel to Phandalin.
Crowd near Shrine of Luck. Three locals acting animalistic, feral. We subdue them, tie them up and investigate the situation. We instruct locals to lock the "ferals" in the Stone Hill Inn.

Our investigation leads to the Sleeping Giant Inn. We question the 2 people there: a drunk and the bartender. Bartender says something about "great and terrible mind."

We discover a tunnel and follow it... for miles.
First fork: we go right
Second fork: we go left
At the bottom of a chasm we discover the journal of Thorgrin Ironquill (worth 450g)

We meet people who were being kidnapped by goblins. Something 'took' the goblins. We prepare for combat. Evaelyn (Rhyndera) insists on departing to guide the rescued people to safety.

Combat begins against "brain creatures"

We prevail.

We discover leather scraps (no value?) & Careful Mind Crystal.

We do not depart the tunnel.
Session ends.

Grathi Slywarrior, goliath Pa-1/Wa-4 (Greg)

We start in Baldur's Gate at the Adventurers League Hall in the lower city. It is a 3-story building. It's raining. As each of us enters, we are greeted by Yola at the front desk. She knows we've been requested. She provides a place to gather, the bar.

We are being asked to provide security for the Suhunka Trials (games [Olympics]) in Shugapoor (city). The job lasts for 12 days. Each will get 200 gp.

We enter a separate room. A stone goliath sits in front of a bowl. We are asked to sit around the bowl, too. He is:
Kurjhateeka, a priest.

The 3 great cities are involved in the games.

Aravati temple (?) in Maravarey (?)

Nisha (nickname) in Manivarsha is the target of our protection.
High River Singer (priest) Plabon is our contact.

The goliath begins a ritual around the bowl, recognizing the 4 gods and 4 cities.
Joltara - mountain, sky, rain, ice, snow; White
May Yoo - plains, wine, generous, bounty: Green/Emerald
Irravati - curious, cunning, quick, silver-tongued; Blue/Sapphire
Aderow-hit - missing city, find your children; Red

Shell, mix
We see a city image. We are asked to enter the bowl and are transported, 1-by-1, to the city in the market square.

Tents, vendors, a stage near the temple, all on a quay. This is:
Shah-gah-poor.

Humid, hot, balmy.

I spend 10 silver for 2 more rations.

Tidal waves engulf the market square while Nisha is dancing. 2 hostile turtles are deposited. We fight them to save the citizens, while attempting to protect Nisha. Next wave, 2 electric eels are deposited. Nisha decides to take shelter in the temple. Keyrie accompanies (carries?) her. A third wave, this time imbued with glowing red light. Keyrie sees Nisha turn to water and vanish. Meanwhile the rest continue the battle. We prevail.

We talk to Plabon.

He said the red wave brought up emotions, jealousy.
Manivarsa was destroyed by a red wave in the past. That's when the city was lost.
Since we were offered 200 gold each, he alters the deal. We get 100 now and another 100 if we return Nisha.

Session ends.
Long rest is approved.
