Kuldahar

The time of rest and peace in Kuldahar was welcome and sorely needed, but now the road calls again to the companions.

Ras, seeking to know more about the Heartstone Gem, has discovered that in the city called The Hand of the Seldarine there may be a teacher waiting for him, an elf wizard by the name of Larrel. Perhaps with his shared knowledge the party will be able to make use of the Gem to learn more about the enemies that plague the North.

Fergy, also called Nessa, follows Ras closely. Still adapting to the recent change of mind and body, Fergy struggles to find a place in this world of morals. Still, in moments of quiet the sorcerer understands that Poquelin is a threat that must be brought down. Anything that leads to that event must be good for the world. Or, at least, for Fergy.

Zenithral also has reason to go to The Hand of the Seldarine. Contacted by his father in a dream, Zenithral believes that if he travels to the elven city he might find a way to help his mother - and perhaps finally be rid of his murdering father.

Alalla and Erevain stick close by their friends. Alalla has come this far, facing threat after threat, and she is determined to see it through to the end. Erevain stays close, constantly pondering how to save his wife from the certain doom that awaits her after death.

Ug walks with new strength since his drink of Hunter's Bane. Next time he meets Poquelin, or any other who works evil, the mighty barbarian is ready to give everything he has. Little does he know that the party's next destination will start him on a journey to his past - a path that is longer than he can possibly realize.

Dok continues test after test in Orrick's tower while the party continues on. But they know how he first appeared to them in the Vale of Shadows, and can only expect him to surprise them again at the most unlikely of times.

And so, without the addition of their goblin companion and his feisty spider, the heroes gather at the recently repaired airship of Oswald Fiddlebender...
