dragon bones

The group teleports to White Lake and finds the city well on its way to picking up all the pieces from the switch of government. Fix discovers that J’hara left a few days prior on the back of a black drake with another woman. He learns from Harven that she was headed to Legrash in the Black Riage Mountains. They stay the night at the castle and head out in the morning toward the Orgorek.

That evening, Fix touches base with Philethis to learn Vanneth had come back to Qi. He also uses the tattoo to reach out to his family and learns of their location and general emotions. He is a little surprised that he also senses the rest of his group. He then finishes the rod he had been working on for some time.

When the group arrives at the Orgorek, they notice a field of stones that resemble a graveyard. Upon entering the area, Evangeline notices the runes etched on several of the stones are used in binding and corruption magics. An ethereal ancient dragon appears and when the group presses forward it attacks. Fix attempts to dispel the corruption and manages to weaken it significantly. Evangeline and Kadath begin to bust the stones, Forsythe joining them when the dragon begins to break free of the spells. As the dragon disappears, it bows, “Thank you. What is mine, is yours.”

With the dragon gone, they finish destroying the stones as Fix and Kadath fly up to the Orgorek. Finding a hatch, Fix begins to open it when the roots of the tree begin to flail. They do manage to get into the inside and notice the roots stop attacking. Inside they discover the bones of an ancient dragon, a hoard of treasure, and the orrery. Evangeline and Fix get the orrery running while the others fend off crystalline snakes.

When it becomes calm, Fix uses the rod on this orrery for the first time and learns that he can open up portals to other orreries that are working. Putting it away, they go through the treasure and find a couple magic items and a lot of gold. When they leave the Orgorek, they find sprouts peaking through the ground and learn that the barren fields are growing once more.

After conferring with a map, they decided to head to Charmonde on their way to the Amber Monolith.
