23rd:
The group spent the day gathering information about Karion's missing father. Karion, Aramil and Paskan headed for the grove but stopped outside. Karion called out:
Karion: "Kyzen, Kyzen ....where are you?"
He was hit on the forehead by an acorn. Once more he was hit but caught the 3rd one.
Karion: "Stop it Kyzen and come out I need to ask you some questions."
Kyzen: "Do you have a treat for me?"
Karion did and brought forth his hand. The faerie dragon flew and landed on Karion's palm. It was no bigger than 6 inches, like a small dragonfly.
Karion: "Kyzen I need to ask you about my father, did he come to the grove and do you know where he went?"
Kyzen: "He asked the gods about the Horn of the Unicorn and where he could find it. He was talking to himself about a person called Terananya, must find Terananya he kept saying to himself as he left the grove in a hurry."
Kyzen took to the air and landed on Aramils shoulder, Aramil felt something wet poke him in the ear.
Kyzen: "Oh look 'Pointy Head' has pointy ears too. and that one I'll call 'Fishscales'."
Karion: "Stop fooling around Kyzen."
But Kyzen was already heading back into the grove laughing in a gurgling sound of way.
Anor and Bandur went looking for Obelisk, the village ranger. They found him tending his garden. Obelisk was an Earth Genasi.
Anor: "Hello, are you Obelisk by chance?"
Obelisk: "Not by chance but by birth. You must be Anor and the small one, who I can just see the top of his shiny helm, must be Bandur. You are the talk of the village. We owe you a great debt".
Anor: "Perhaps then you could help us as we are trying to find Karion's father but are at a loss as to where to start."
Obelisk: "I remember he was talking about finding the druid Terananya. I told him I heard she was living in Shattered Stone, a town some 30 to 35 miles from here. But that was over a year ago."
Anor: "It's a starting place, hopefully we can pick up the trail there and head for Myth Drannor."
Obelisk: "I would think long and hard before going there. All kinds of bad things are rumoured to live around Myth Drannor, ever since the Netharese flying city crashed down onto it. A demon army even conquered it a few centuries ago. Not a good place."
Anor: "We thank you for helping us and we will leave you to your garden, which looks good."
Obelisk: "Do you garden, if you do you are welcome to join me tilling the soil, it is very fertile in the valley."
Anor: "In my younger days I tended the farm with my father, we grew corn. If we have time before we go I would like to help you though."
Obelisk was already back at work and murmured his thanks and wished them well.
The two groups met up near the middle of the village and compared notes. So the person whom Karion's father had gone to see was the druid Terananya, who at the time that Karion's father left lived in Shattered Stone.
Karion's mother had made up a healing pack of potions, which they distributed amongst themselves. She also gave them Elven Whey bread for emergencies if they needed it. They would leave early next day.
24th:
It was a short, uneventful day, as they left early for Elventree. They decided to stay that night in Elventree. It was surrounded on three sides by low hills dotted with caves. Elventree had been built up with wood on ruins of stone buildings. There was an elegant but natural-looking palace. There were also a number of structures in the branches of trees, which were linked by rope ladders, walkways, and bridges of silver rope and white planks. The ground was reserved for cooking fires and gathering spaces where residents met to pass news or share a song.
They stayed that night at the 'Swaying Bough Tavern'.
25th:
Another uneventful day as they made their way to the City of Hillsfar. As the city was now ruled by the leader of the 'Red Plumes', a member of the Lords Alliance, the laws restricting none humans from entering the city had been relaxed. They found themselves wandering around looking for a decent nights lodging. Anor managed to procure a nice light crossbow and gave his old one to Paskan to train with. Lodging found they settled in for a quiet night.
26th:
A long, hard days walk along the road saw them entering Shattered Stone around late afternoon. The town was quite large, they could see from a hill they walked down that it was surrounded by an palisade atop and earthen bank, they estimated it had a population roughly some 3,000 in number. The gate guard knew nothing of Terananya but directed them to 'The Quarry', a nearby Inn. Whilst there they overheard mention of Terananya and asking some locals found out that Terananya was away, probably with a group such as there's somewhere near Myth Drannor and up to no good.
They decided to wait for her return.
