Rewards and Recognitions
After they cool down from the combat, The group accompanied the kidnapped villagers and Oru back to the dragon sister's mansion. Upon seeing her sister return safe and sound, Ommet rushed up to hug Oru and nodded to the guards to lead the villagers out of a side door of the room. As a reward, Ipakas ask for the ability to be able to speak with the dead and Grace asked for the ability to speak with the gods. Ommet said that it is not possible for them to teach Ipakas a way to speak with the dead but offer for someone to perform the spell to make it possible. As a maid lead Ipakas away, Ommet told Grace that they do not have a cleric in their service but before she could finish her sentance Oru let out a bellowing laugh. She said that she just happened to acquire a cleric during her ordeal with the kidnappers and have her led Grace away to perform the task to speak with a god. Tired asked for a gold reward and received a bag of 450 gold, Max asked for her swords to be improved and Ommet picked up Max's Keen Edge and handed to a butler to have work done. As his friends were led out of the room, Min heard Ommet whispered to Oru "That is two each, who is going to get the third one?" Min asked the sister if they have any ways of tracking a person over a long distance as there is someone he is looking for. He then hand a book that belongs to the person of interest over to Ommet.

Ipakas was lead into a small room which looks like a small church, as he enter the room he saw a person dressed in black robe approached him and asked if he could help Ipakas. Ipakas took out Sabal's severed head and asked if he could speak with the head. The robed man threw up at the sight of the severed head and apologised. Ipakas helped cleaned up the mess with the Prestigitation spell and the robed man proceed with a spell to let Ipakas ask five questions.


 * 1) Did anyone from my village survived the assault? (17 survived)
 * 2) Where are they now? (Unsure, scattered into underdark)
 * 3) Does anyone in the underdark plan to invade again? (Unsure)
 * 4) Were you calling the shots or had you lost your mind to the mind flayer after your group was ambushed? (Sabal was controling the mindflayer)
 * 5) You have lost in this game of court, I'm sure you don't want your enemies to win, so I'll ask you once again, Is anyone invading? (No but the power in underdark is growing too strong and they were forced to acquire reinforcement from the above world to combat this issue)

Grace was led to another small room by the female cleric that they rescued from the drows. He looked through the room of books seeking for a way to communicate with his god.

Max followed the butler holding her sword out of the mansion and into a forge manned by a goliath. The butler hand the sword over to the goliath and said "The master require this sword to be upgraded." The goliath took the sword over to a dummy and sliced it half way through with one swing, in awed at the craftsmanship of the sword, the Goliath said he will try to imrpove this and be able to have this ready by sun down. Max stayed with the butler to help fan the forge and observe the process.

Left alone by herself with the people in the mansion, Tired try to strike up a small conversation with the people there with no real result. Tired try to enter the room to the right to look for Ipakas and Grace, but the guard stopped him in his track and stated that he is not to enter the right side because of the blessing of Ommet. Tired said he'll just stay in the neutral zone to wait for his friend, and this could turn ugly if his friends do not return. Upon hearing that, a mage clapped his hand and some people ran off to grab pillows and some food and drink to serve Tired. Tired instead pretend to fall asleep to spy on the conversation around him.

Ommet led Min away to a room to the right of the mansion, it is a circular room with dark tiles with a glass orb sitting on a purple cushion atop a pedestal. Ommet asked Min to stand opposite to her around the orb, and after a long time of chanting, Min saw a gorgeous looking elf in white gown sitting on a throne with another male elf sitting next to her. Ommet exclaimed softly that they are now spying on the feywild and Min could hear small conversations through the orb. The male elf whispered to the female elf that there's something above her head, Min then see the orb got covered by the female elf's hand, and ended the spell with a clench of her fist. Ommet was astonished by the status of Min's friend and said that was Titania and Oberon, the king and queen of the feys.

Ipakas asked the robed man if he knew a way to perserve the head, The robed man said he doesn't relaly know except the same way of perserving meat in brine. Ipakas thank the man and head back into the neutral chamber to see a sleeping Tired, decide to just sit down and meditate to think over the answers.

At sun down, Max was presented with a new and improved Keen edge that seems to be sharper and deadlier than it was (+1 critical range). She was the last person to return back to the neutral zone where everone else seems to be taking a break. She proceeds to show off her sword to the group.

After everyone gathered in the neutral zone, Oru asked why a well equipted group such as them are wandering around the region. Ipakas say that they were in the business of helping people and Max said that the people they were tasked with bringing back the people that were taken away whicih seems to be abosrbed into the ranks at the Mansion. The dragon sisters looked at each other and said there might be a way for the people to earn their freedom as they are seeking individuals to help them with a ritual that could help them and anyone involved to gain power. Tired being eternally suspicious of any kind of ritual realized that the dragons weren't being truthful about everyone gaining power. He said to the dragon sisters that returning the people to the queen might save a whole lot of trouble for all party involved. The dragon sisters said that the group may take either the cleric or the fighter with the goblin girl and the skilless villgers back with them as a sign of good faith. The group decided to take the win after a small discussion and agree to the deal. Because the sun has already set, the dragons also offer the group a place to stay for the night before leading the people back to the keep.

During the night, Max looked for people to have a threesome with her and Tired went to look for animal in the mansion with interesting looking teeth. Unfortunately, Tired angered the animal and got bitten. Before getting himself into more trouble, he retreated back to his room. Ipakas thought about what Sabal said, and was suprised at his own stupidity that he never tried to message his sister to see if she is still alive. He then cast the sending spell to his sister to see if he gets a reply."'This is Ipakas, I am still alive and have been searching for a way to get back to you. Please say something if you are there.' -Ipakas""'LIAR My brother died 70 years ago. Who are you what do you wantand why are you bringing up past trauma?' - Banmiphi"Overwhelmed by the response, it took Ipakas a long time to get back to himself and send another message through."'It's good to hear your voice, I survived on the surface. Sorry it took this long, I will find you I promise' - Ipakas""'yes the surface.... after i got dragged out of the glorious mines i was a supervisor off' - Banmiphi"

The group enjoyed some breakfast and left with the villagers. On their way back, the group encountered Toshi, an ogre and Loke traveeling towards the opposite direction. The group informed that Toshi was going to use Loke to draw out the green dragon that killed his druid friend and Loke should not follow them. Seeing that their plans have been revelaed, Toshi and the Ogre took their leave.
