Queen for a day

The group Hitches a ride on the Song Dragon "Sonata" and heads to Mikas. Sura's mother is unwell and the kingdom crown's Sura as queen. Sura's daughter "Sera" is full grown now (wings & tail and all). After speaking, Sura admits that there is more in this world she wishes to do and see. She abdicates her throne to her daughter. Sera tells her mother that she is quested with bringing home a new heir (get pregnant again). They leave and head back to Hilltown.

Murphy and Sonata fly out to do some recon work on the army and find that their is in fact more to the story. They are being lead by a female Satyr who is claiming Surnoth as hers and naming herself Queen. "Queen Hellmyra". She is sending out scrolls to all communities saying to join her or be enslaved under the new kingdom of Surnoth. They also find that she has a second in command which is a Centaur by the name of "Lyiam Darkfoot". She now has an elite strike force of Minotaur's that look quite battle-hardened as well as 4 quite large Blue dragons in their ranks now. The Army is rapidly growing.

Much to be discussed at dinner at the Wyrmwood Inn....

The Song Dragon

The group travels North. Before they reach the next village, they encounter a large (+2,000) Orc army encamped in the hills. They turn around and head back to Hilltown to warn them . On the way back they find a strange "sewer grate" covered in rock and mud. Murphy melts the earth and they open the metal grate. A beautiful half elf emerges and Panarus is immediately enamored. The two head off into the forest and much music can be heard. A few hours later the group finds Panarus naked in the back of the cart huddled in the fetal position. He is not trembling in fear but in shear adrenaline/ excitement/exhaustion. He tells the group that the woman is actually a song dragon (quite rare) and they in fact made love and music together. He says it was the best moment of his life!

The group heads back to Hilltown and warns them of the massing Orc army to the North. They catch a ride from the Song Dragon "Sonata" so Sura can get back to her mother in Mikas. Sprock takes Delvin's Wyvern to re-route the ship back to the port in Diamond bed city.

Interrogation complete!

Jin is left alone and interrogates Sir Jonathan extensively. He eventually gets the knight to confess. He took on a job for the Mercy Killer Guild in the planar city of Sigil to kill the adventurers. He has been jumping in and out of time portals and killing chronomancers along the way to find the group and kill them. Jin finds a sack of broken and bloody hourglasses & the wanted/reward posters for the group in his possession. The knight admits he has failed and wishes to die. Murphy provides him with a poison.

They find a door in the basement which leads them to a wounded frail man. He is missing his foot. It turns out that he is the high cleric of Xeroxen from Furnoth, but from a different time. The group fights 2 suits of animated armor, they also find a nasty torture room with hanging limbs, & and ultimately, find a fireplace which has a portal to send the high cleric back to his own home/time. The group also finds a door which they can't open but somehow they think is part of the mud sorcerer's tomb which is halfway around the world! They leave the Wryrmwood tavern basement and make plans to head back to Diamond bed city to go investigate the Mud Sorcerer's tomb.
