After some shopping and Company business, Egwaine teleported the Heroes to Longsaddle. Egwaine indicated that as a young lady, when she first joined the Church of Kelemvor she had been sent to this quirky little town for missionary work. She elaborated that it was here where she fell in love with one Edward Harpell. Alas, the love was not to be, as one of the senior Harpell Matriarchs sent Edward away on distant business. All Egwaine has left is the symbol of their love carved on an old oak tree just south of town. At least she has a place she remembered well to teleport the Heroes.
Ambush. A group of Devils somehow calculated the point of the Heroes teleport and ambushed the party. The Heroes were greeted to a scene of the old oak tree that Egwaine recalled so fondly set ablaze. The Devils wanted the piece of the Scepter of Calim. The Devils were set with a plan and immediately cast dimensional anchors preventing most of the party from using teleport or dimension door to escape. The devils were led by two Barbed Devils and also had in their war party 4 Bone Devils as well. The Bone Devils used ice wall to separate the Heroes and the Barbed Devils moved in to attack. Rumple took the worst of it, being impaled on the barbs of one big fat meaty Barbed Devil. If not for Egwaine and her close wounds spell, Rumple would have perished right there.
As usual the Heroes were victorious. They slayed the big fat Barbed Devil and three of the four Bone Devils. One of the Bone Devils did manage to steal the Book of Monsters that Tyree was carrying.After arrival in Longsaddle, Kamist cast a message spell and hid, quite uncharacteristically of him, muttering something about his father (ahh....issues). The rest of the Heroes were greeted at the All Seeing Eye by Alabron's mysterious girlfriend Celeste and Kamist's dad George Turgin. Celeste took the Heroes to a back parlor where they were surprised to see Eligos alive standing there. He explained that he was raised by an old friend Agath Harpell. Eligos explained that his memory was a little fuzzy (or fuguey) but he remebers being called upon by one of Loris Raknian's men. Okorol and a band of calishite men (dressed in black with red sashes) made him an offer regarding the Heroes. When Eligos refused, they turned on him and slayed him and his manservant Pollard.
Eligos further explained that Manzorian and Allustan were conducting important research and that he was instructed to have the Heores wait at the All Seeing Eye until Allustan and Manzorian returned.
After an early lunch with Eligos and Celeste, the Heroes headed out to explore Lonsaddle. Egwaine made an appointment to see Mylindee Harpell at the Ivy Mansion on the 13th of Nightall in the morning. The Harpell's were polite but firm that the Heroes could not see Mylindee until then.
Alobron delivered a package for the Thayans to the proprietor of the NightCloak Inn and Featshall. Alobron found that the establishment was a favorite of the Alliance Soldiers of the Barracks. Alobron was asked to deliver another package back to the Thayans at their Embassy in Waterdeep.
Tyree, interested in an old Uthgardt legend about old King "Elk Blood", investigated an old well that legend says was poisoned after Harpell Wizards turned him into a frog, squished him and cast him down the well. Kamist played a prank on Tyree and used major image to create a giant frog that hopped out of the well and fooled with Tyree until he figured it out. Eventually the Heroes recovered the remains of old 'Elk Blood" and Egwaine helped Tyree send his haunted soul on to the Fugue Plane.
The Heroes find themselves at the All Seeing Eye. They have each been provided their own room, to include even Kamist, who remains hiding outside in the very bitter cold. Night is coming so the Heroes better find a place for Kamist to bed down for the night. No sign of Allustan or Manzorian.
Will the Heroes meet with Manzorian, or will Devils and other artifact collectors interrupt this happy rendezvous and burn the place down in search of the broken piece of the Scepter of Calim? Will Tyree sack the town and avenge old "Elk Blood" reverting back to his raiding Uthgardt primitive ways? Will Rumple ever feel the same after removing that nasty barb out of his...? And will Egwaine ever find out what happened to Edward, her lost love? For the answers to these questions and more, tune in next session to the Age of Worms Campaign.
