Session 1: Loadin’ Up the Icebreaker

As you walk into the dark, cold and bare hallway of the tower's ground level, it feels like you are back in Illusk's ruins. The silence in the empty, austere and desolate building is deafening. Fizel quickly produces some light so you can see where you are going, but the walls revealed by the small flame do little to ease the strange feeling.

As you try to figure out where to go, you hear steps echoing from all around you. You turn to see a tiefling with extremely red skin, wearing a blazing red cloak. You can't tell where she came from, but, as you notice her, it becomes very clear the entire pace is filled with magic tricks and illusions. "I got the message you were here!" She greets you with a wide smile. "Sorry for having to make you come here, but you see, I've just found the lair of Arauthator." She starts explaining,
with wildly overeager excitement. Not seeing you share her fascination, she continues "Arauthator, the white dragon who attacked Host Tower? It's such an opportunity! You see, there is some knowleadge that only..."

Maccath will go on forever sharing her most obscure knowledge about dragons...

Maccath goes on and on.At some point, Izuhn, who has been struggling to keep his attention on all the dragon lore, decides to mention Earnest. Maccath suddenly stops, looking confused at the dwarf. "Who?" She doesn't seem to even recognise the guard's name.

Maccath looks even more confused as Agna explains, who Earnest is. "Guards? We have guards? Why would we need guards?" she laughs as she adds "You should ask those frost giants if they think we need guards". Like the stereotypical academic wizard, she seems to be oblivious to the mundane things around her. As the orc mentions the parcelmaster, she suddenly calms down enough to remember why you're here. "Oh yes, yes. That!" She stretches out her hands, a small lead-lined metal box materializing out of nowhere. "This is a very important draconic artifact I'm researching and I need it to be sent to Raggamel in Bryn Shander. There some sort of enchantment here and I think he can help me break it. You guys traveling north?"

"Oh that would have been inconvenient" she tells Izuhn nonchalantly. "I could take it myself but that would be bothersome. So many scrolls to read before I set up my expedition." Maccath stops talking as Agna intervenes. "Ahaha the ones that are floating on the estuary of the River Mirar. I don't know what those idiots were thinking to just ram the ships on the north harbor." she continues laughing as she handles Izuhn the small box. "Nothing one of two fireballs couldn't handle."
