Session Summary

[7AM on the 3rd of Tenrilden; 1 flask of oil used completely; one hour and fifty minutes used of second flask]

Laris and Braadlur go check out the peak and the now empty roc nest to see the terrain to the NE that is not in the line of site from the cloister of the shrine of the Matriarchs.

We went down the stairs and could not exit the way we came in as the "elevator" trap at the lever only works from the lever end. We then exited the way we exited before and found that the collapse was in our way. After attempting to find other ways out, we carved our way out through the rubble and got back to the entrance to the trial area.

We then went to the pools of healing and were both healed and refreshed. Rallion traded a week of iron rations for a flask of oil.

The clock DVL told us that it sensed a shifting of power in the City of Brass as if something was drawing power to itself. Vikram concurred with this assessment. We assumed it is in reference to what happened to the shard. Vikrum created food and we had 3 extra days worth.

After a night's sleep, vikram created more food and we had another 3 days worth and traded 6 days of food for another flask of oil.

We then met with Kalia the new shaman, formerly the junior shaman of Montoa. She asked after Druetta and was glad to know that Druetta fought well. She was sad, as Druetta would be their new leader, as Druetta's mother was killed.

As the Daughters of the Matriarchs they have passed down stories. Rallion relayed the vision we had in the temple and she had stories for two of the visions.

In reference to the vision about Cerida on the mountain we believe to be two days Northwest of Old Greybeard, she shared the tale of the

Grey Wanderers 7 warriors of Cerida - Tales passed down by the Daughters of the Matriarchs relayed by Kalia the shaman of Montoa.

Seven chosen by the Old Mothers, Matriarchs of the Ancients Defended Hdrasta’s Halls [one of matriarch's halls] from the Outsiders, Slaying Oghma the Awful [outside, breathed poison - a dragon] In his passing, though, Oghma’s Poisoned Blood Burnt His Enemies Birthing Sorrow within Joy, Sowing Doom within Victory.

Seven Dead, Heroes of the Old Mothers, Martyrs for the Matriarchs They were carried to their cairns, nestled within the arms of Cerida Mother of Reason, She Weighed their Souls in Her Sacred Scales Their blessed bodies stand vigil still, Watching their Home from Afar

In response to sharing the vision of those who sailed past the horizon, she relayed the Story of those who fled the war with the outsiders the Chosen of Oswitha fled....

In the Waning Days of the Ancients, When the Outsiders Triumphed The Mothers Spoke to their Shamans, Calling Each Ancient to His Fate Those Dedicate to Cerida, Feldma, and Brita Stayed to Fight But the Chosen of Oswitha Fled to the Seas, Sailing to New Shores

Oswitha’s People Settled Far Beyond the lands of their Mothers They Put their Trust in their Patron and her Promise of a Home They launched their ships towards the Horizon, holds full of hope Knowing they would never see Oswitha’s Bounteous Blooms again

These people went South and have not been heard from since. No one knows exactly where this is.

In response to the last about the snake/dragon headeded people leading captives on a plateau with a waterfall [we believe it might be Zen Khel] she knew of no tales.

She asked our help in getting the remnants of her people back to their village. The people of Shem hired mercenaries (pirates) under Captain Elkior to attack Montoa. Kalia did not think that Shem could afford them for long.

Montoa is now only the shaman Kalia, 7 female warriors, 20 men, and 17 children. We agreed to make preparations to leave in the morning.

Montoa is about a week from Old Greybeard to the West, so we will pass close to the mountain we knew we want to visit. The stream from the blessed pool flows to Montoa and their people have blessed containers so that the waters keep their potency. That seems to be the only magic that the Montoans have. Kalia no longer has magic.

[Rallion is reminded of the jaguar god that long gone former members of the party meet when they traveled the road as guards with a wagon train from Midmark to Vargen. Perhaps they need to seek it out, as its waters had some sort of affect. It may know of the Matriarchs or be allied with them.]

Rallion traded his broken (disenchanted) sword that shattered with a solid blow to the demon (?) on the stairs for Timon's old sword (never magic.) Rallion also got 24 arrows from Azra (who makes her own arrows), Laris got an extra bow from Azra.

When we leave, it will just be Timon and Azra.

Rallion says to leave the disenchanted stuff we can't carry or is no use. That way, we know where it is and can get it if we are able to make them magical again.

Rallion also argues to never discuss things of the Matriarchs in front of the clock DVL. He confides that if he still had the Shard, he would end that DVL. Keep it in the chest that once housed the Shard and Kauri can keep an eye on it to see if it can leave the chest.

Well away from the chest, we can talk to Vikram about what he can know and a general idea of what he can't talk about so we avoid it, and if the City of Brass powers can eavesdrop on him, and what he can tell us about the clock DVL.
