Eager to demonstrate his value to his new allies, Chance “acquired” several sets of armor for them to use.
Brynn was grateful for his efforts, but stopped short of condoning any illegal activities. Instead, she requested that he allow her a measure of plausible deniability.
Chance led the other heroes to a bandit hideout to recover stolen supplies for refugees in Frostgate. They were ambushed by the Outlaw Prince and trapped in a gas-filled pit, but Chance was able to pick an “impossible” lock and get his new friends to safety.
The Outlaw Prince revealed that he was the one who trained Chance to be a thief, and falsely claimed that he had sent the hyrrinx to lure the heroes into a trap. Chance refused to abandon his new allies, and joined with them to oppose the bandits and the Outlaw Prince.
Chance had been raised by the bandits, and counted some among them as friends, but he left that life behind when he opposed their leader, the Outlaw Prince.
THE PRICE OF KNOWLEDGE
Syrus met with Astarra, one of his old contacts from his days at Greyhaven. Although Astarra also left the university on poor terms, Syrus requested her assistance with understanding how the Uthuk might attempt to open a portal to the Ynfernael.
Astarra offered what advice she could, and agreed to carry Greysdon’s notes back to the university, and Syrus cautioned her against studying them too recklessly.
MEETING OF THE GUIlDS
Kehli attended a guild summit so that she could repair her relationship with the guild masters.
• Kehli approached Master Flint of Forge’s Smith’s Guild. Though she was not reinstated, Flint did offer the Guild’s assistance in the future.
Syrus sought to confer with one of his old mentors from Greyhaven, Professor Greysdon, but Greysdon had made a dangerous bargain with the Uthuk in exchange for several dragon eggs. Professor Greysdon lured the heroes into a trap, but Syrus and his friends overcame the twisted professor and captured him.
Greysdon was responsible for the accident back at Greyhaven that led Syrus to bond himself to Indris, in order to save the phoenix’s life. Syrus realized after this latest betrayal that Greysdon would always choose personal power above any notion of friendship or morality.
Greyson’s notes revealed one possible reckoning of the elemental wheel, the interaction of elemental energy that powers some forms of magic.
The heroes did not save the dragon eggs from Greysdon’s experiments, and the eggs were presumed to be destroyed.
