[Grynn] Joker's Wild - Session 3

The group was on their way to pick up the gear that they had commisioned when they were ambushed in the streets by the Mad Elf Aushenia. She threw down a magic card and banished the priest of Thor into it. The group was rightfully upset about this, while she claimed that it was merely self defense and a way to redeem her reputation. Nevermind the fact that she had magically buffed herself up as much as possible, ambushed the party, assaulted them magically with no legal jurisdiction, and then inflicted murderous consequences in the most dishonorable circumstances imaginable. When asked to release their companion from the area, the mad elf refused and so combat occured.

It was a tough battle, but a lucky dispel from the spectromancer took down her redicious stone skin and a second took down some of her other defenses. Mira and Tock were able to lay the smack down on her, and though it was moderately close, eventually she collapsed. In a fit of mercy, Mira decided not to rightfully kill the murderer but kept her alive for rehabilitation later. The mad elf had a hoard of treasure on her, some from her psychopatic crusade against dragons, and others with bribes by multiple parties in the past to keep her constantly shifting loyalty. The Joker's Wild laid rightful claim to it and distributed her goods among the group.

They then took her to the current wizard in the city, the one who had enchanted their items (including Tock's new rather spectacular Trenchcoat of Resistance with Deep Pockets). He explained the situation that he had been placed in, the ruler of Silverymoon in Exile. He implored the group for Corymrian aid. Mira countered with an offer of the sentient dragon slaying sword Alshinia had 'obtained' that rightfully belonged to the dwarves. He suggested that they present the sword to the dwarves as a way to reconcile elves and dwarves in a fight against dragon kind and those assaulting Corymr. He agreed and also provided the group with some magical transportation to return quicker from their quest to the defiled temple of Lathander, currently ruled by the blasphemous cleric of Midnight. Mira also drew up papers for Tock to act as a marshal for Corymr (specifically her demense) after giving him powerful dimensional shackles which could hold near any prisoner.

After taking this conference, they stopped for supplies and water, equipping themselves for the journey and set forth into the dark and unknown desert.
