Thazienne Uskevren leaves behind the streets of Selgaunt to challenge the Red Wizards of Thay, but even the priceless Crimson Gold might not be reward enough when all of Thay rises against her. Contents. Summary [ edit | edit source ] Thazienne Uskevren traveled to Thay's Sunrise Mountains in search for the crimson gold, an emotional quest to help her come to terms with her father's death. After a successful delve into frozen caves of the Sunrise Mountains, Thazi attracted the attention of Naglatha, Thayan chief of foreign activities. She knew Thazi from the noblewoman's home in Sembia. Naglatha sought a talented thief to aid in her plot against the Zulkir of Necromancy, Szass Tam. Naglatha's bodyguards, under the woman's instructions, manipulated events to cause a fight at Laeril's Arms tavern in Tyraturos. Accused of attacking a Thayan noble, Thazienne was convicted to a lifetime of slavery. While in Thayan slave pens, Thazienne befriended a grumpy duergar Justikar Stoneblood. Subsequently, surviving a trial by battle orchestrated by Naglatha, Thazienne and her duergar ally were bought at a slave auction by Naglatha's agent. The Red Wizard offered Tazi her freedom, and the record of her crime stricken from the records in exchange for a heist. If she were to decline, the Uskevren family were to suffer. The unwilling accomplices accompanied Naglatha to Thaymount where the Zulkirs and Tharchions were to meet. Naglatha plated the lich's downfall as she disapproved of Thay's mercantile international relations under Tam and wanted war and conquest. Unbeknownst to Naglatha, her supposed symbolic and prophetic dreams were the result of demon lord Eltab's manipulation from his imprisonments under Thaymount. Simultaneously, Eltab used his influence to slowly possess Pyras Autorian, Szass Tam's puppet, and the Tharchion of Thaymount. Thazienne and Justikar succeeded in infiltrating the Paths of the Doomed under the Citadel and retrieved the scroll Naglatha was seeking. Following the theft, the scheming Red Wizard proudly and publicly cast the spell from the scroll, unlocking Eltab's prison. Freed, the tanar'ri assumed full control of Pyras Autorian, transforming his body into the giant hulking demon. Eltab caused Thaymont's volcanoes to erupt, sowing chaos and distraction and causing the Zulkirs to flee; all but the demon's old enemy Szass Tam and Thazi was freed from her slavery by Naglatha's expedient retreat. She and the Zulkir of Necromancy, aided by Justikar Stoneblood assembled Tam's armies of juju zombies, darkenbeasts, and blooded ones confronted the demon lord and his army of demoncyst-changed monsters from under the Citadel. Thazienne barely survived her one-on-one battle with Eltab, winning after suffering deadly injuries and killing the demon's host with her crimson gold dagger . Days after the fight, she woke up in the Citadel. Szass Tam, impressed and infatuated with the unique person Thazienne was, pulled her dying body off the death's door. Thankful for her aid, he offered her a place beside him, the offer she refused. Leaving the Citadel, passing the cooling lava and mountains of creatures killed in the war against Eltab, she realized that she received her closure with her father's death, and she was free to make her own way in life.

  • Everyone's Grumpy Under That Hill . . . and a River Runs Through It
    http://rendedpress.blogspot.com Everyone’s Grumpy Under That Hill . and a River Runs Through It (written for the Swords & Dorkery Iron Chef Contest) a gonzo monty haul railroad scenario with no rhyme or reason because that’s just the way I roll by Matthew W. Schmeer The list of TSR 1992 Series Collector Cards used to throw this thing together, with a summary of each card, appears at the end of this scenario. This scenario assumes familiarity/access to irst edition The Fiend Folio and the ability to convert monsters to whatever edition you happen to favor. An Internet connection is handy as well, as there are lots of linky‐links to follow for more (dubious) info; the links are highlighted in blue. Scenario Background The river goes into the mountain. That’s never good. There’s rumors in the village about ten miles upstream about what’s in there—strange sounds, minor earthquakes, boulders that pick themselves off the ground, weird things, stuff of nightmares, etcetera, etcetera, but the locals would rather stay the hell away because hey, what you don’t know won’t kill you, right? But you? No, you’re not afraid. You are a party of ADVENTURERS! You are no mere striplings, afraid of rumors and things that go bump in the night, because, after all, if it can make a bump in the night, then it has a body, and if it has a body, then it can bleed, and if it can bleed, then you can kill it and take its stuff.

  • THE LOST CHRONICLES Volume Three
    THE LOST CHRONICLES VOLUME THREE Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman Astinus, Chronicler of the History of Krynn, writes: On the Twenty-sixth Day of the Month of Mishamont, Year 352 AC, in the city of Neraka, the Temple of Takhisis falls. The Dragon Queen is banished from the world. Her armies go down to defeat. Much of the credit for this victory is given to the Heroes of the Lance, who fought valiantly for the Forces of Light. History should note, however, that the Light would have been doomed to failure if not for one man who chose to walk in Darkness. PROLOGUE wo legends of Krynn are essential to the understanding of the plot. Many variations of these legends can be found. Every bard tells them somewhat differently. We have chosen these versions as being the closest to what actually occurred, though, as with most legends, the truth of the matter will likely never be known. Excerpts from “A Child’s Garden of Tales of Krynn,” translated from the Elvish by Quivalen Soth: The Story of Berem and Jasla A Tale of Love and Sacrifice Long ago, at the end of the Second Dragon War, the valiant knight, Huma Dragonsbane, drove Queen Takhisis into the Abyss. He forced her to swear an oath before the High God that she would not return to the world to upset the delicate balance between good 7 DRAGONLANCE The Lost Chronicles and evil. The gods believed that an oath taken before the High God was so powerful that not even the Queen of Darkness would dare break it.
