Session 15 - One temple to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.

We continued with our plan to divide and conquer as each party member sought out their "assigned religion" in an attempt to persuade them into joining this central temple of worship. Thanks to our well thought-through emissaries and their individual skills, after a week we managed to persuade 7 out of 8 religions to join this idea. The only person who failed to persuade their religion was Katrina, who thought it was a good idea to adopt a cat despite her allergies??? Not really sure what she was thinking, but it sure as hell didn't work.

With all religions (more or less) on with this idea, the next task was the actual construction of the temple. Such a task would be very time-consuming and the process might take months, if not an entire year. In order to speed things along, Laurabec asked if we would be willing to help out once again. In the mire outside the Dasseni swamp west of Seaquen lives a green dragon called Naizelasa. Rumor says that she is in the possession of a magical item called a Lyre of Fabrication. If we could borrow it, construction of the temple could be done in as little as a day. Green dragons are typically evil creatures, so persuading Naizelasa, to lend us the lyre could prove very difficult. However, one of her eggs has recently been stolen and she is desperate to get it back. She has threatened to attack refugee ships if her egg is not returned to her. The fact that she hasn't attacked anyone, but instead threatened to do so, tells us that she is more interested in getting her egg back than just claiming revenge. It also tells us that she is very clever, as she recognizes that the easiest way to get her egg back is not to go after it herself, but rather threaten destruction so that important people will return it to her just to avoid those threats becoming reality.

That's where we come into the picture! Naizelasa, has clearly said that she wants her egg returned and we are willing to return it. If we return her egg (or just offer to do so) we may drastically reduce our risk of getting covered in acid when we ask to borrow the Lyre. We split up in every different direction to ask around and try to locate this egg. Louie and Silveril went to the Sunken Ruins to try to locate the black market. Saphire went to Lyceum to find a dragon egg for his (kinky and rather sharply made up) girlfriend. Marxiros and Mergrim went to the southern harbour to search for it (and maybe abuse Marxiros idol-status). Lastly, Zunigri and Torrent went to Lee's to find out if he knew anything about it. After asking Lee, they learned that an individual named Nathan Lowduke had been boasting all over the underground (haha, get it? OVER the UNDERground) about having stolen a dragon egg and is looking to sell.

Eventually, we all gathered in the Southern Harbor and shared what we had learned, before splitting into two groups in an attempt to set up a meeting with Nathan. Hopefully, we can persuade/threaten/kill him into giving us the egg so that we may return it. Hopefully such a meeting could occur already tomorrow, so we can get that out of the way before the big theatre show the day after that.
