The church, no the very domain itself starts to crumble with the destruction of Daglan. The earth starts to shake and the church starts to disintegrate. Looking up you see the very sky itself start to crash to the ground, leaving nothing but the an inky nothingness.

Suddenly a huge piece of roof crashes down on the party. Everyone bracing for impact they soon find that it has shattered into pieces on the azure light surrounding them. The elf starts to fade and with him the party. The last glimpse you get is an almost empty sky staring back at you.

As you fade away you can't help but think of the second prophecy of the scroll you found. "The night of evil shall descend on the land/When this hexad of signs is near at hand." and recall how you literally saved Daunton from their own "Night of evil" and how you just viewed the night literally descend down from the sky.

Suddenly the group finds themselves materialized outside the Hanged Man. For some reason the skull of the Dracolich is at their feet. Entering the tavern you find it bustling with the usual busyness and song. Spotting the group Bob the barman waddles over. Haven't seen you in over a month! Bob says smiling to the party. You recall that only about a week has gone by. Got some letters for you. This one was given to me by your friend, that strange fellow. He says handing it over.

My friends,

I am sorry I was unable to meet with you in person. I have come upon a vital clue to the Hyskosa prophecies and had to urgently see with a friend on a nearby island. I am confident that this clue will reveal more about this mysterious piece of parchment you found. I will contact you once my research is complete. I have left your pay with Bob the local barman, I hope it is satisfactory.

He gave me this to give to you as well Bob says handing over a bag of gold.

Oh and before I forget, these came for you little one
he says, handing Jax a stack of letters and patting him on the head (much to Jax's annoyance).

The first is dated several weeks ago and in messy handwriting reads:
Come qix! Family n troubles, need lots of monies!

-Uncle Jaz

P.S.
Bring lots and lots and lots uf gold.
The second one is dated two weeks ago:
Hello?
Hello?
Hello?
Hello r u there? Plz come with money.

-Luv Uncle Jaz
The third is dated less than a week ago:
Look Jax I'm sorry we kicked you out n stuff. Well it was not me but ur mum n dad but she says she is sorry too. Dad says he ain't sorry cause he was tired uf you stealing stuff and him payin the bills. He says he will be sorry when you bring the monies.

-Jaz

P.S. Granny says she is sorry too but can't remember your name.
The last one is dated only yesterday:
Jax I've come up with a scheme, met me here in the Hanged Man tavern where the softskins go to drink tomorrow. I will bring a boat and we can go find the treasure! If you are not here then I will go off alone and probably die.

-Uncle Jaz

P.S. We all luv you very much. Mum says she luvs you and dad says he will kick your rump back into n egg if you don't help. Uncle Bektul and Ant Szizora says they luv you too but we will all luv you move if you bring monies back.
You can't help but wonder what is in store for your next adventure.

GM: Congratulations on completing the quest!

Jaz of all trades is a short adventure to save Jax's family business. I hope to have the thread up this week. Please let me know if you would like to join. I will be sure to give everyone ample time to level up and buy equipment. Plus you won't be attacked right away or anything like that ;)


GM: Xp awards:

vs Cur ExSixTen 6,000+1,000 bonus xp from Cur ExSixTen's actions * 2=14,000

+2,500 Minor quest xp for defeating Akriel
+5,000 Major quest xp for saving Daunton from evil.

Total=51,100/6=8,517 (rounded up) each

Time xp+ encounter xp 141 days (Oct 5th to February 22):
Sir ExSixTen/Brenn/Andras:3,130+8,517=11,647 xp total.
Quagmire:4305+8,517=12,822 xp total.
Jax/Dorn:4700+8,517=13,217 xp total.

Everyone should have gained two levels by my calculations!

Quest completion gold: 1,000 each

Sir ExSixTen/Brenn/Andras:8,206=9,206 gold total.
Quagmire:10,969=11,969 gold total.
Jax/Dorn:14,729=15,729 gold total.

Guess I should make it official, Jax's new boon (It is not too late for anyone to change their choice by the way.)

Boon of Kobold Royalty:
Ravenloft Boon
Rarity:N/A
Property:You gain a +1 item bonus to speed.

Power (Encounter):Free Action: Trigger: You hit an enemy with an at-will attack power.
Effect:You shift 3 squares once the attack is resolved.

Power (Daily):Standard action:
You can use the Remove Affliction ritual as a standard action as if you had the Ritual Casting feat. It has no component cost and you gain a extra +10 power bonus to heal checks made with this power.

GM: DM credits:10 months(rounded up) *2=20. -2 from the proposal = 18 credits.

GM: It is customary to place dragon heads in the Hanged Man tavern if anyone want to mount the Dracolich skull there. Also feel free to terrorize the locals with your new powers until the new adventure is up. ;)

OOC: So I take it we should head to the hanged man for a bit until the next thread gets going? Interact with the locals for a while?

Sir Exsixten should be all leveled up.

Also, I think you should get one more DM Credit for involving Sir Exsixten's kicker - I think I remember reading at one point that DMs got that as an incentive to use them.

GM: If you would like you can go to the Hanged Man topic, you don't have to.

Not sure what the rules are on extra DM credits, but I do not mind earning an extra one of course ;)

OOC: I don't recall a rule about extra DM credits for using character's stuff, but it's quite possible I missed it. Anyone have a link?

OOC: Renau1g is still missing in action, right? I think we need to petition another judge to approve the rewards.

I'm going to move over to the tavern thread. I'd like to talk with the other kobolds for a bit. If you don't socialize your dog kobold, he'll grow up to be aggressive.

Also, Jax is spending almost all of his money on a new off-hand weapon (no more misuse of the rhythm blade dagger). I find this hilarious because he must have gone shopping after he returned to the tavern and read Jaz's letters.
