Bastard Greyhawk Timeline

An account of the exploits of the Flamebringers, the Questriders, and the Company of the Raven, as well as a historical account of events in the Flanaess. An AD&D campaign set in the World of Greyhawk. All dates in red and by the Common Year (CY) reckoning. Map locations (using the Darlene map from the 1980 folio and 1983 boxed set), module codes, references, and adventure sources, as well as information not known to the characters at the time of the entry, appear in [brackets]. Monsters are listed under their proper (D&D) names, even though the characters may not know the proper terminology at the time of the encounter, to save space. Spells and most magic items, as well as names of ships and books, are noted in italics. If an NPC’s race is not mentioned, he/she is assumed to be human. Weather conditions are noted on days where precipitation occurs. If an illustration for an NPC, item, or place exists, it is shown in {wavy brackets} in purple. Original DM - Brad Faith (1983-1985 CY). Current DM and creator of this time line - Rob Vest (1985 to present). Two works that I've found extremely helpful in compiling this are Steve Wilson's GreyChrondex and Taras Guarhoth's Timeline of Aerdi Grand Princes and Overkings.

DAY

HARVESTER (9) 579

9.1

CARLON, EARTHRAMUS, ELOOM, GILITAR, AND NANOLTH decide to remain in Gryrax.

9.4

ELOOM BIDS the FLAMEBRINGERS FAREWELL

That morning, ELOOM leaves for the County of Ulek to gather information on halfling society in that state. That night, a shooting star is seen far to the northeast.

9.5

Almax appears that morning in Gryrax. He tells the Flamebringers that the shooting star is an omen predicted ages ago by the sages of the Tower of the Heavens [139], an astrological observatory located in the westernmost portion of the Drachensgrab Hills to the East [271]. He tells EARTHRAMUS, GILITAR, and NANOLTH to journey there as soon as possible to learn more of the omen. Almax also tells them the sages may be able to consult the stars to learn more of Saldrom’s whereabouts. The archmage informs CARLON that he has another mission for him, and the two teleport away. EARTHRAMUS, GILITAR, and NANOLTH leave Gryrax that afternoon on horseback.

CARLON LEAVES the FLAMEBRINGERS (Enter the MYSTICAL ONE)

CARLON is teleported outside the village of Redenbop, Keoland, located in the Barony of Westgate1[see LGJ1.ibc], in the southern Good Hills [hex A5-120]. Almax instructs him to enter the village tavern and wait. Once there, the young mage reunites with his old adventuring comrades, the gnome illusionist/ thief, SNORT, and the half-elven ranger, GOLFER [578]. The pair are part of an adventuring party consisting of Beska Miltar, a human mage; Sho-Rembo, an elven warrior; and Seeful the Unforgiving, a human priest of Boccob, the god of magic. The party is led by a mysterious masked, hooded figure in black, known only as the MYSTICAL ONE, who appears to be a priest of Nerull or some other god of death. That night, the party meets with Orlik, the village elder, who tells them that many villagers have disappeared at night over the past few weeks. He feels that a nearby ruin known as the Dungeon of Pools plays a part in the troubles, and asks the group to investigate. Orlik then relates a tale of his youth when another adventuring group went into the ruin, and only one returned, blinded. The man’s name was Lassdon, who spent the remainder of his life in the village as a poet and storyteller [497]. Orlik ends the night by reciting Lassdon’s poem about the Dungeon of Pools.

9.6

DUNGEON OF POOLS: [Original adventure by Rob Vest]

CARLON, GOLFER, THE MYSTICAL ONE, SNORT, Beska Miltar, Seeful the Unforgiving, and Sho-Rembo discover the ruin is inhabited by a cult of Orcus, the demon prince of the undead, and that the villagers were being sacrificed and transformed into zombies. The party destroys the cult, Beska, Seeful, and Sho-Rembo are slain, and Golfer’s nose is cut off by a wildly swinging zombie. The survivors discover the many pools of colored water the dungeon is named for, and learn that drinking from one of them turns their skin a random color and bestows magical powers upon the drinker. Snort turns pink and gains limited healing ability; Golfer turns brown and gains the ability to detect magic; and the Mystical One turns grey.

EARTHRAMUS, GILITAR, and NANOLTH reach the city of Havenhill, in the Principality of Ulek.

9.7

Earthramus, Gilitar, and Nanolth leave Havenhill on horseback.

9.9

Enter ALADRIN

EARTHRAMUS, GILITAR, and NANOLTH are joined on the road by ALADRIN, an elven ranger from the land of Elor on Daethnak. He also seeks the Tower of the Heavens, to learn more about the shooting star.

9.11

WHEN A STAR FALLS: [UK4, hex E4-106]

ALADRIN, EARTHRAMUS, GILITAR and NANOLTH discover the bodies of several monks from the Tower of the Heavens, who were slain by a memory web, and a curious bestiary. After killing the memory web, the Flamebringer’s minds are flooded with the memories of the slain monks. Among these memories are orders for the monks to take the bestiary to Derwyth, a druid living nearby, and ask him for information on the location of the shooting star. The party buries the bodies and decides to carry out the monks’ mission.

9.12

The party reaches Derwyth’s home, Cwm Cernant, and break bread with the druid, a bearded half elf. They give Derwyth the bestiary in return for information on the shooting star’s location. The druid invites them to spend the night at his home, as it will take him until morning to divine the star’s location.

9.13

Derwyth gives the party the estimated location for the star, a rocky area about a day’s journey away, only traversable by foot. The Flamebringers leave their horses with Derwyth and leave Cwm Cernant.

9.14

ALADRIN, EARTHRAMUS, GILITAR, and NANOLTH follow Derwyth’s directions to an ancient, hillside cavern, which is inhabited by a tribe of derro - pale, dwarf-like evil humanoids. The party discovers that the meteorite has crashed into the cavern, causing immense damage. The four defeat the surviving derro and recover the meteorite.

9.15

The party encounters and befriends a group of hunters who are camped near a great dam in the river, built by giant beavers.

9.16

The four are ambushed that night in camp by Sion, an evil shade [a servant of a renegade wizard from the Tower of the Heavens], and his shadow mastiff and pet raven. The shade is nearly slain by the party before escaping.

9.17

The Flamebringers reach the Tower of the Heavens, set upon a small island in the middle of the Jewel River. They meet the monk Hadley, of the Order of the Night Sky [168], who also works as the ferryman to the Tower. Hadley tells them that the Elder Sage of the Tower, Shalfey, has been usurped and barred in his chambers by his second-in-command, Piyarz, the Tutor, who was assisted by the pupil sages Lurg, Porro, and Cipolla. The party agrees to rescue Shalfey. They decide to pose as travelers seeking advice, and spend the night in the hostel adjacent to the Tower, run by a man named Auberge.

9.18

At dawn, Auberge informs the sages that a group of travelers seeks an audience. At noon, ALADRIN, EARTHRAMUS, GILITAR, and NANOLTH are called to the Tower. Following Hadley’s advice from the night before, the party attacks as soon as the first sage appears. It turns out to be the pupil sage, Lurg. Lurg is slain along with his red garbed bodyguards, and eleven gnomes who guard the tower proper. They also slay a stone guardian, two monks garbed in yellow, and two more garbed in blue. Finally, they encounter the pupil sages Porro and Cipola, led by the Tutor Piyarz, defended by three monks in black. Aladrin, Gilitar, and Nanolth slay the monks and pupil sages, while Earthramus single-handedly slays Piyarz in magical combat (using a summon insects spell) after the Tutor incapacitated the rest of the party. About Piyarz’s neck, Earthramus finds an amulet depicting an eye held in a hand - similar to the one he and Nanolth discovered on Qualton of Restenford [2.12.579]. The druid takes the amulet for further research. The Flamebringers go on to rescue Shalfey and give him the meteorite. The Elder Sage tells the party to take the meteorite to the Forge of the Kagu-Svirfnebli, a deep dwarven outpost in the Drachengrabs, and exchange the rock for four mystic tomes in their possession, which the party must bring back to Shalfey. The group spends that night in the hostel before setting out the next morning.

9.19

ALADRIN, EARTHRAMUS, GILITAR, and NANOLTH leave the Tower of the Heavens.

9.21

The party reaches the Forge of the Kagu-Svirfnebli [287]. They slay many gibberling attackers, who are mounted on tiny horses [minimals]. The gibberlings are used by the deep gnomes as slaves. The four also succeed in destroying a svirfnebli war machine which attacked them. Finally, the svirfnebli appear, and a parley takes place. The gnomes gladly agree to the exchange, giving the Flamebringers the books in return for the meteorite. The Flamebringers take the books and leave the Forge.

9.23

DESTRUCTION of the TOWER of the HEAVENS, chasing the dragons, and NANOLTH's departure

That morning, ALADRIN, EARTHRAMUS, GILITAR, and NANOLTH arrive back at the Tower of the Heavens, where they present the mystic tomes to Shalfi, who rewards them with gold, and tells Earthramus and Nanolth that their friend will soon be found in a “pit surrounded by darkness.” They bid farewell to the Elder Sage, and return to the neighboring hostel. Soon, Almax appears in their room and bids them gather their gear. The archmage then transports them in a ball of green energy to a nearby hilltop overlooking the entire region. Almax points out a rocky hillside miles away in the direction of the Forge of the Kagu-Svirfnebli. There he tells them lies the cave of two red dragons, Grisdelfawr and Pyrofenix, imprisoned in stasis in their lair (with their hoard) years ago by the Elder Sage of the Tower [504]. Suddenly, there is a large explosion from the Forge, and within moments, the dragons burst from their lair, apparently very angry. The Flamebringers and their mentor watch in awe as the winged beasts fly straight for the Tower of the Heavens and proceed to destroy it and its inhabitants. Aladrin, Gilitar, and Nanolth wonder at Almax’s inaction. Earthramus, however comes to the conclusion that the dragons must destroy the Tower in order to preserve the Balance. Almax confirms the druid’s thoughts, explaining that the mystic tomes - the Books of Prophecy - were powerful artifacts of Light and had to be destroyed because their use would tip the scales too far in Good’s favor. However, with the dragons’ release, Darkness has gained a new foothold, and it is up to the Flamebringers to return the Balance to its previous position. The five return their gaze to the dragons. After demolishing the Tower, the beasts fly off to lay waste to the surrounding region. Almax then gives Earthramus a very strange object. It looks like a fist-sized blue sphere with several sharp blades radiating from it in a circle. The archmage tells the party that it’s called the “Dragonstar,” and it will help them destroy the dragons. Upon inquiring to its use, Almax tells the Flamebringers that the Dragonstar is capable of nearly anything, but it is up to them to discover how it works. The wizard then vanishes, leaving the four alone.

The party quickly determines that the Dragonstar is meant to be thrown. Upon looking for something to throw it at, Nanolth suggests a large oak tree. Earthramus, the druid, considers throwing it at Nanolth before explaining his creed to the oblivious elf. Earthramus finds a large boulder and throws the weapon at that instead. The Dragonstar speeds from the druid’s hand and with a loud thunderclap, demolishes the boulder, before returning to Earthramus’s hand! The Flamebringers are impressed, but they still have to find the dragons. Remembering Almax’s words that the weapon is capable of nearly anything, Earthramus decides to tie a rope to the Dragonstar, and then to himself and the others. The druid then speaks to the weapon: “Dragonstar - find the dragons!”, and hurls it into the air. The results are predictable. The Dragonstar shoots into the sky, jerking the four off the ground. They fly across the Jewel River, and crash into a small patch of woods several miles away! The four gain consciousness a few hours later: broken, bruised, battered, bloody, and hanging from the tree branches. Almax appears for a few moments, laughing his ass off, before his image fades away.

The four climb to the ground, where Aladrin, Gilitar, and Nanolth berate the druid, after he heals them. Nearby, the four find three suits of armor with matching shields, apparently left for Aladrin, Gilitar, and Nanolth by Almax. The three quickly don the armor and the party exits the woods into a wide open hilly area.

The battle that follows is nothing short of magnificent, with Earthramus casting spells or hurling the Dragonstar and the others using missile weapons or engaging the beasts in melee, using the shields to protect them against the dragons’ fiery breath. Soon, Gilitar and Nanolth find themselves engaging Pyrofenix in melee, while Aladrin and Earthramus battle the airborne Grisdelfawr. Gilitar thrusts his magical longsword through Pyrofenix’s lower jaw, while Nanolth climbs upon the beast’s back and slashes at its head with Helkarax, his enchanted bastard sword. Gilitar’s blade, stuck fast in the dragon’s jaw, is ripped from his hand as Pyrofenix takes to the sky, roaring in pain. Nanolth remains atop the beast, hanging on to a handful of hair with one hand while he continues slashing with the other. Gilitar’s sword dislodges from the wounded dragon’s jaw (plunging deep into the Jewel River)as she flies back to her lair, her attacker in tow. Seeing his mate retreat, Grisdelfawr begins flying after her, only to have a wing severed by the Dragonstar. Grisdelfawr comes crashing to the ground and is quickly slain by Aladrin and the newly re-armed Gilitar.

After tending to their wounds, the three set off for the dragons' hillside lair to determine their companion’s fate. They don’t reach the lair until well after sundown. Weapons ready, they light a torch and cautiously enter the cave. Therein they find a dramatic scene: Nanolth, his left leg bitten off below the knee, lays atop Pyrofenix’s belly, Helkarax plunged deep into her heart and glowing an eerie violet hue. Hearing their approach, the exhausted elven warrior raises his head. “Earthramus,” he says, “I am... dragon slayer!” The elf then passes out, more dead than alive. The druid rushes to his friend’s side and exhausts the last of his healing magics, while Aladrin and Gilitar bind Nanolth’s wounds. Together, they manage to bring the elf from the brink of death, but his condition is still critical, as he’s suffered much blood loss. Frustrated, Earthramus begins searching through the dragons’ hoard for healing magics, to no avail. Almax appears once more and tells the druid that there are no healing magics in the hoard, as he had already searched it, after he had given them the Dragonstar. That was where he acquired their armor and shields. The archmage also tells them that he had taken part of the hoard as repayment of his loan for rebuilding Flamebringer Keep [1.5-8.579], as well as some more to cover operating costs. However, there is still a substantial amount of gold left. He tells them that Nanolth is gravely wounded, and that he must return with the mage to Lendore Isle, where he can recuperate. Earthramus returns the Dragonstar, and he and the others bid their barely conscious friend farewell. The druid then shows Almax the amulet found on Piyarz’s body, and asks if he knows anything, but the archmage seems uncertain as to its significance. Almax postulates that the sage and Qualton [see 2.12.579] may have been members of a secret organization, but he’s not positive. The archmage tells them they may have to figure it out on their own, as he’s rather pressed for time. Almax then vanishes with NANOLTH, along with the elf’s share of the hoard.

9.24

After spending the night in the dragons’ lair, ALADRIN, EARTHRAMUS, and GILITAR divide the treasure between themselves. Among the items, Aladrin finds an elven cloak and Gilitar finds a replacement for his lost sword. They load as much of the hoard as possible into Gilitar’s pouch of holding, secure the lair, and leave for Cwm Cernant to check on Derwyth and recover their horses.

9.25

The three reach the hunters’ camp they’d visited over a week earlier [9.15.579] only to find nothing but a ruin, apparently a target of Grisdelfawr and Pyrofenix’s rampage.

9.26

They leave the ruined encampment.

9.27

ALADRIN, EARTHRAMUS, and GILITAR reach Derwyth’s home. Luckily, Derwyth and his companion animals are okay. However, much to their dismay, they learn that the dragons ate their horses [see 9.23.579] while they were out grazing. That night, the Flamebringers discuss their next course of action. Earthramus tells Aladrin and Gilitar that he has spoken with Derwyth, and that they are leaving Cwm Cernant tomorrow to attend a druidic council in the central Drachensgrab Hills, where the young druid, sponsored by Derwyth, will seek admittance into his order’s enigmatic “Fifth Circle.” Earthramus explains that if he is admitted, his training could take several weeks to complete. Derwyth suggests that Aladrin and Gilitar spend the next few weeks in Highport, a rowdy city a few days away on the northern coast of the humanoid-controlled Pomarj, for some much needed rest and relaxation. He recommends they stay at an inn called the Lazy Dwarf, owned by his old friend, Ulik Goblinskinner. Earthramus asks the pair to wait there until he has completed his training, when he will join them.

	THE SINISTER SECRET OF SALTMARSH: [U1, hex U4-123] A band of adventurers from the Ulek states are hired by the villagers of Saltmarsh, Keoland, to investigate a nearby “haunted” house. This group consists of the human ranger Arborius; the human druid EARTHRAMUS; Gerald the Seeker, a human priest of Celestian; Hilgaared, a human sorceress; and a halfling thief named Thodore Dobbins, all from the County of Ulek. They are also accompanied by the dwarven warrior HALIK, from the Pricipality of Ulek; and the elven fighter/ mage Kellin from the duchy of Ulek. They uncover a smuggling ring led by Sanbalet, a human illusionist, and Sigurd Snake-Eyes, a pirate captain [575]. Sanbalet is slain, but Snake-Eyes escapes. They rescue an aquatic elf fighter/ thief named Oceanus, who joins the party and tells them that the smugglers are selling weapons to a nearby tribe of lizard men in the Hool Marshes. The party decides to investigate the lair of the lizard men to learn if they plan on terrorizing Saltmarsh.
	DANGER AT DUNWATER: [U2, hex V4-124] Arborius, EARTHRAMUS, Gerald, HALIK, Hilgaared, Kellin, and Oceanus enter Earthwomb, the lizard man stronghold.

	NEEDFEST (N)	6	The Flamebringers are formed on a cold, cloudy day in Greyhawk City, at the Green Dragon Inn, where they have been brought together by Almax, the blue archmage. The founding members are the human druid EARTHRAMUS [578], of the County of Ulek; his friend, SALDROM, a warrior from Melnibone, a kingdom in another crystal sphere; NANOLTH, a barbaric elven warrior from Selkari, a land on the continent of Daethnak, also located in another sphere; his long-time adventuring companion, KAYLA, an elven thief from Elor, also on Daethnak; and CARLON [578], a human mage from parts unknown.
		7	At the behest of Almax, the five leave Greyhawk and journey east, on foot, through the Cairn Hills, to investigate an ancient cairn shown on a map given to them by Almax.
	FIRESEEK (1)	1	The five seek shelter in a shallow cave in the Cairn Hills, due to an oncoming sleet storm, where they set up camp. A few hours later, during the storm, an elven warrior staggers into the cave seeking shelter. Much to Nanolth’s surprise, he sees that this is his Selkarian kinsman NACTON, who tells the party that he was on his way to Greyhawk City when he became lost in the storm. Nanolth quickly convinces the others to let Nacton join the group. The storm breaks late that night.
		3	NIGHT OF THE GREY ONES: [Original adventure by Brad Faith] CARLON, EARTHRAMUS, KAYLA, NACTON, NANOLTH, and SALDROM encounter a marauding flock of vargouiles and follow the survivors to their lair, which turns out to be the cairn located on their map. The lair is also occupied by duergar. The six slay the inhabitants and ransack the lair.
		4	Almax appears the next morning in their camp, just as a light snow begins to fall. He congratulates the six on completing the task he assigned them, and informs the group he has more work for them, including a special mission for NACTON. The archmage first spirits Nacton away with a teleportation spell, then teleports the founding members to the town of Restenford [460] on Lendore Isle, where the climate is much warmer.
		5-8	THE SECRET OF BONE HILL: [L1, hex B-78] CARLON, EARTHRAMUS, KAYLA, NANOLTH, and SALDROM clear out a ruined, monster-filled castle atop Bone Hill [62], near Restenford. The five destroy bugbears, undead, a stone guardian, a grey ooze, and a spectator. They also slay the castle’s undead warlord, Arvis DuLac [169] and put the soul of the “living skeleton” Viracius Scath [259] to rest. Upon finding a magical blue staff among the treasure guarded by the grey ooze, Carlon has an epiphany, and devotes his life to the worship of the chaos lord, Arioch. They also have their first encounter with the drow archmage Alcaro, an old enemy of Almax. Alcaro teleports away before the Flamebringers have a chance to melee. After clearing out the ruin, Almax suggests they purchase the property and restore the castle, using the treasure recovered during the adventure, and a loan from the wizard. [The castle will eventually be known as Flamebringer Keep, and serve as their first base of operations.]
		9	Grellus, Baron of Restenford, is assassinated in his sleep by the assassin Tellish.	L2
		10	THE ASSASSIN’S KNOT: [L2, hex B-78] CARLON, EARTHRAMUS, KAYLA, NANOLTH, and SALDROM are hired by Pelltar, court mage to the royal family of Restenford, to investigate the murder of the Baron. They are told to travel to the neighboring town of Garotten, where they are to seek out three different suspects and determine which is responsible for the murder.	L2
	FIRESEEK	11	The Flamebringers leave Restenford that morning, and arrive that evening in Garotten.	L2
		12-16	The five begin their covert investigation of the three suspects: Abraham d’Farmin, innkeeper of the House of Abraham; Harper, the eccentric high priest of Osprem (goddess of the waves); and Balmorrow, owner of the Theater of the Mystic Celebration. Little progress is made, but none of the three suspects seem likely murderers.	L2
		16	Baroness Fairwind of Restenford, Grellus’ widow, is assassinated in her sleep by Tellish.	L2
		17	News of the Baroness Fairwind's murder reaches the Flamebringers in Garotten. They resolve to work harder.	L2
		18-21	The Flamebringers deduce that the three suspects are innocent and the “evidence” implicating them was planted. The underground Garotten assassins guild is suspected.
		22	The party suspects the local government may be involved. They slip into the mayor’s manor that night, where their suspicions are realized. They discover disguises and other evidence in Tellish’s (the mayor’s closest advisor) room implicating him in the murders. They find evidence that he was hired by Qualton, high priest of Phaulkon in Restenford, to slay the Baron and Baroness in order that the priest might marry their daughter, Andrella, and become Baron Restenford himself! They also find evidence of mayor Arrness’s involvement in the assassins guild. They then proceed to slay Tellish, the mayor, and the other guild members. In the mayor’s chambers, they discover evidence that she planned to have Tellish assassinate Andrella and Qualton after their marriage so that she might take Restenford for herself. They also discover a letter from Qualton announcing his marriage to Andrella the next day. The party takes the documents and leaves immediately for Restenford.	L2
		23	The Flamebringers return to Restenford and turn the evidence over to Andrella, but Qualton, apparently one step ahead of the party, is nowhere to be found. Investigating his quarters at the abbey, they find evidence that he was an agent of the Great Kingdom, and that he also did some dealing in slavery. Several letters from a man named “Tancreed” detailing the sale of young sacrificial victims to Qualton are found. These letters are stamped with a symbol featuring nine manacles. Through other letters, the party deduces that Qualton has another base of operations in the town of Roland in the Gull Cliffs of the Great Kingdom of Aerdy. Andrella promises a reward for his head.
		28	On a cool, windy day, CARLON, EARTHRAMUS, KAYLA, NANOLTH, and SALDROM leave Restenford aboard the ship, the Wavecutter.
	READYING (2)	10	The Flamebringers reach Roland and assume pseudonyms to protect their identity in this hostile land. CARLON as Merlyne, EARTHRAMUS as Alanahn, KAYLA as Ariel, NANOLTH as Kaynon, and SALDROM as Elrick. They begin their quest for Qualton.
		12	The Flamebringers find Qualton and slay him, and take his Restenford chain of office as proof of his death. Around his neck, they find an unusual amulet in the shape of an open hand with an eye in its palm. A witness to the combat calls the city guard, and the five flee Roland on stolen horses, right in the middle of a massive thunderstorm.
		15	Under a heavy fog, the Flamebringers leave the Gull Cliffs behind.
		17	The Flamebringers reach The Grandwood Forest. They abandon their horses and enter the wood.
		23-24	FOREST OF DOOM: CARLON, EARTHRAMUS, KAYLA, NANOLTH, and SALDROM discover a fortress carved from a huge hollowed-out sycamore in the Grandwood [hex S-71]. Within they find a large contingent of drow, and their bugbear and quaggoth servitors. On the second level of the fortress, the Flamebringers discover a large number of prisoners, of whom only one is not broken. This is MALIN-KAY MACANAW, a human ranger from Daethnak. Malin informs the others that she was on a mission for Almax when she was captured. Shortly after Malin joins the party, a mysterious shadow creature enters Saldrom’s body and the warrior vanishes [this was a shadow-stalker sent by the drow mage Alcaro]. The remaining five then discover a pool of shimmering liquid, which acts as a mirror of opposition. The party defeats their magical duplicates with the help of Carlon’s dark god, Arioch. On the top level of the fortress, the party encounter and slay the drow commander, Erihn, and his consort, Meronal. After the drow are defeated, Alcaro appears once more [see 1.5-8.579], and informs the party that he has plans for their friend. The dark elf swears revenge for the slaying of his kinsmen before his astral form vanishes. The party then searches the fortress for SALDROM, but he is nowhere to be found.	DR#73
		25	CARLON, EARTHRAMUS, KAYLA, MALIN-KAY MACANAW, and NANOLTH reach the Mikar River in the Grandwood. The five build a raft and head downstream.
		26	FORTRESS OF THE DRETCH: CARLON, EARTHRAMUS, KAYLA, MALIN-KAY MACANAW, and NANOLTH discover a huge wooden fortress straddling the Mikar River in the Grandwood [hex T-72]. The place is inhabited by demons (dretch) serving the Overking. The five loot the fortress and destroy the dretch and the other inhabitants.	BF
		28	The Flamebrigers exit the Grandwood and abandon the raft. A heavy rain has been falling all day. MALIN-KAY MACANAW leaves the group, heading west to complete her mission for Almax. KAYLA joins her. The others want to go as well, but Malin refuses, telling them it’s a mission of stealth, and more than two is too many. The others then journey south, on foot, slogging through the mud.
	COLDEVEN (3)	1-7	CARLON, EARTHRAMUS, and NANOLTH journey south, through the See of Medegia, a province of the Great Kingdom.
		9	CARLON, EARTHRAMUS, and NANOLTH reach the port city of Pontylver, capital of Medegia. They decide to lie low there for a few days. They assume it’s unlikely they’ll be recognized, as Pontylver is quite a distance from Roland.
		13	While in the Pontylver marketplace, the three are approached by three city guards who recognize the Flamebringers from wanted posters. The three are ordered to surrender. They refuse and melee with the guards, slaying two. More guards arrive and CARLON, EARTHRAMUS, and NANOLTH flee these guards, and lose them with the help of a mysterious stranger with pitch-black skin, like that of a dark elf. He identifies himself as Tharak, a priest of Phaulkon the wind god. With his aid, they stow away on an odd-looking ship named the Hell’s Destiny [actually a spelljamming hammership]. The ship leaves port within minutes of their arrival.
		14	After a day at sea, the ship takes to the air, much to the party’s surprise!
		16	The ship enters a magical portal in the Grinder (the huge asteroid sphere surrounding Oerth, the sun, and the moons) leading to the ocean of the world of Mystara.	X1
		23	The Hell’s Destiny reaches Ierendi, capital of the island nation of Ierendi. CARLON, EARTHRAMUS, and NANOLTH, with Tharak, sneak off the ship at nightfall. Luckily, Tharak has coins of the realm, and they are able to spend the night in an inn. Tharak tells the others they can return to the Hell’s Destiny the next day and perhaps buy passage back to Oerth, by serving as crewmen.
		24	The four return to the docks that morning, but the Hell’s Destiny has already left. Tharak tells them he knows of someone who can perhaps help them, but he lives on the mainland, several days away. Tharak is going there anyway, and invites the Flamebringers to come along. Unfortunately, he only has enough gold to pay for his passage, and they may have to work for theirs.
		25	The Flamebringers leave Ierendi aboard the Blue Velvet, Tharak as a passenger, and the others working as crew.

Gilitar tells Nanolth that he’s tracking an evil priest and his war band, who are camped a few miles from town. Gilitar offers to share the war band’s gold if Nanolth will help him in eliminating them. Nanolth agrees, and the two leave Biazzan on stolen horses. Upon finding the camp, they ambush the priest and his minions, slaying them all. After looting the bodies, the pair return to Biazzan and release the stolen horses.

The archmage tells Carlon, Earthramus, and Nanolth that he had lost track of their whereabouts when they first left Oerth. By the time he had divined their location, they had already been captured by the slaver. Unable to intervene directly at this time, Almax asked his old friend Fingolfin for aid, who sent Kirigi, Elthrazin, Tharak, and Helmar to help them escape. The archmage tells them to continue waiting in Ylaruam for another month, which should allow ample time for Eloom to arrive, because Fingolfin wants him to return to Oerth with the others.

The archmage vanishes once more, leaving the Flamebringers on their own. The party spends that night at the Flying Hamhock Tavern. [G.3.579; 5.25.579]
4	While at the dockyards with Earthramus, Eloom, Gilitar, and Nanolth, CARLON uses a charm spell to make a local shipwright hand over his brand-new drakkar to the party. Gilitar names the ship Amroth’s Desire. Elthrazin, Clay, and Drebb then introduce them to Algild, a ship captain and agent of Fingolfin, who offers to sail their ship to Minrothad and supply them with crew. They agree, and CARLON, EARTHRAMUS, ELOOM, GILITAR, NANOLTH, and Elthrazin leave Specularum that afternoon. Clay and Drebb remain in Specularum.
