August 15th: Alba, Part II

Melody wishes the Winternight Company to the ethereal plane. Once there, Sapphire tries to teleport the group to Tefnut and she is successful. There is some sort of decaying effect surrounding the "pod" encapsulating Tefnut. Louis ties to heal her, but it only buys the group a couple of days. Karic and Isania go to the surface and find themselves in a larger than normal forest, or at least what used to be a forest. All the plants are dying. Isania tries to control weather to see if she can bring any signs of life back. Karic gates to the Black Moon to talk to Sinclair and ends up talking to Rhiannon instead. She suggested that Tefnut needed to be replaced.

Karic relays this news to the party and they go back to the Black Moon. Isania talks to her father and tells him to get the Killoren to call a "Council of Elders" to see if they can find someone to take Tefnut's place.

Since the party hadn't heard from Zith in quite some time, they decided to go to Union to find him. They go in disguise and Zith is able to tell them to talk to Chendra. The Winternight Company finds Chendra's Palace and asks for a membership so they can talk to Chendra privately. They find out that a death slaad wizard named Madwand is mad at Zith. (Most likely for spying on him.) It is most likely that Madwand is the one with the chaotic army. Chendra gets Oslan Turvey to try to setup a meeting with Madwand. At Melody's suggestion, the group offers a dirge dragon for a possible trade. In the morning, Oslan comes to tell the group that Madwand has agreed to see them. Melody fights about being changed up, but finally agrees once a collar with an anti-magic field is made.

The party takes Oslan's ship to meet with Madwand. Once there, he tries to capture the group, but Melody wishes them and Zith out and back on the Black Moon. Isania leaves to meet with her father and the Killoren while Zith has a discussion with the rest of the group. He shows his true feelings about the domains given to him. (Apparently he thought he should have been given the luck domain.) The group relays all of there information to Sinclair. In response he gives the party two tasks: forestall the army from Union long enough for Sinclair to deal with them himself or closes all the portals, and help with Tefnut.

Isania approaches Sinclair alone and asks how her becoming Tefnut will affect the current situation. Sinclair isn't happy about this idea and she explains it's a necessary backup plan in case someone else isn't found in time. They are still waiting the opinion of the "Council of Elders".

August 15th: Alba, Part I

The group is still in Narciss and is having the army of Koth paraded in front of them. The Regent and her husband have been reunited. Isania ducks out of the proceedings to start getting the ecosystem back to normal. Sapphire decides to help and the visit both polar caps to initiate them back to normal.

Karic decides to check on the plate tectonics and finds the planet is much older than he expected. He also discovers an item in the core that is helping to keep the temperature of the core at the level it's supposed to be. He decides not to do anything with it and reports his findings.

Sapphire examines the Weave and finds some artificial links to Alba. She also discovers that Alba influences the other planes than they have on it. Divine magic is weak and there is a fog in the Weave that is only appears when it is not focused upon. She discusses these things with Sinclair.

Sinclair gives Louis the task of sealing the Well of Souls. While all of this is going on, Melody has started her task of moving all of the dragons from Alba. She decides to send them to Blackheath. She goes to Blackheath to talk to Scud (it's been a day since the Winternight company has been banished). Scud tells Melody that he is abandoning Blackheath and she argues with him to come to Alba. She is unsuccessful.

Isania asks Karic to send a message to her father that she is going to need druidic help. Her father comes with seven druids and eighteen apprentices, all eager to help with the environment.

The Winternight Company decides to handle the sealing of the Well of Souls first. The travel to an island where a major population of Alumian's once resided. They cannot immediately find an entrance, and Melody wishes them there. They find the well and a guardian who is ready to fire his pistol at the group. "Professor Mallory" asks why they are there and Louis replies that they are gong to seal the well. "Professor Mallory" initiates combat and shoots Sapphire. She said it hurt really bad and responded with a force cage around the professor. Melody decides to teleport into the force cage and take with the professor. Sapphire wishes us back in time to better prepare ourselves since the first teleport was so abrupt.

The party searches for a possible way in and still find none. Sapphire teleports the group back to the well. The group is able to talk to him this time and he reveals that Louis can seal the well if the Winternight company can find a way to not break his contract. The party discusses several options, finally deciding on teleporting "Professor Mallory" with the group. Louis teleports back and starts sealing the well. He is successful and "Professor Mallory" doesn't show up. Since the professor no longer needs to guard the Well of Souls, he is taken to the Black Moon where Sinclair is able to send him back to his own world.

Sapphire talks Zith into going to Union to find out more about this chaotic army. Zith tells the group about the Infinite Staircase that connects all of the planes. He also shows where the door to the Infinite Planes is on the Black Moon. He agrees to do some spying, but is a little disgruntled.

Sinclair comes to talk to the Winternight Company about Tefnut. He says that the efforts of returning the environment back to normal is not helping her as it should. It will be something we will need to investigate. Isania uses her vision ability to find where Tefnut is. After her vision, she discusses what she saw with the Killoren and some have had similar visions/dreams. The party tries to teleport to her, and they decide she is not on this plane.

June 7th: Kalimdor

Ranae Wolfrunner comes to talk to the group. She has met a human before and tells the group the human is a powerful wizard. She also gives Rod an atlas and says to take the hippogriff to Xavien to meet with "the brothers". Dax and Cue being incapacitated were not able to take the trip.

After a fairly short flight, the group arrives at Xavien. They meet three elves; Illidan, who was princely looking with lots of rings and reading a book, Malfurion, with green hair wearing leather and carrying a staff, and Taranda, the wife of Malfurion and wearing Sentinal gear. The keep they are at was very active since the "army" (for lack of a better term) was preparing to meet Rohnan and the aspects. Malfurion speaks with the group about helping the furbolgs. He gives each person a magical tattoo that enables them to speak with the furbolgs. He asks the group if they have someone capable of healing. Since Dax was not with the group, Malfurion said he would send one to us and to wait for her by the edge of the forest.

The group goes to the edge of the forest to wait. Rod, being hungry, decides to go hunt. He brings back a boar and starts to cook it. While Rod is cooking, a very huggy druid shows up. She introduces herself as Xen and is disappointed to find out Rumnia doesn't care for hugs at all. After Rod preserves the extra boar meat, Xen leads the group to the furbolgs.

Along the way, we encounter a stream. Xen and Zayer swim across while Rumnia dimension doors. Rod decides to make a rope "bridge" to get across, but falls into the water. He is attacked by a corrupted crocodile. Once the crocodile is dead, the group continues on until we find a good camping spot for the night. The night goes uneventfully.

In the morning, we continue on after some breakfast. The group comes across a webbed area where a large spider descends upon us. We are able to kill it with only a few of us getting poisoned. Xen takes care of the poison and we hurry through the rest of the area. When the group gets to just outside the furbolg camp, we come across a hurt night elf. She radiates faint magic. Rumnia goes to question her and helps her up. Rod takes over and carries her. While carrying her, she convinces him to kiss her several times, making him weaker with each kiss. Rumnia comes out of her daze and attacks the "elf". She turns into her natural form, a succubus. The succubus is able to summon a vrock and the group is still able to defeat both of them.

Finally, the group arrives at the furbolg village. Xen talks to them to see if they have a shaman available to restore Rod. We wait for a little while before the shaman comes to cure Rod.
