Visions and Gronk's Ridge

Discussing plan moving forward

• what to do about goblins
• Arry, Fender, & Ulfgar do NOT want to go into Gronk’s Ridge
• Sending stone logistics: 25 words / day
• Ash wanders away & Severin appears
• Severin casts into sending stone:
  • “Coworker from farm bureau here. Narius is missing and left unfinished unofficial business, we might be able to help.”
• another being has heard the message, not familiar to us
  • larger than life presence
• silence becomes uncomfortable
  • “Ah, so my emissary is dead. Are you a worthy successor? Are you haunted by the vastness of eternity? Do you wonder will your actions echo across the millennia?”
• seems to not be a mortal hierarchy

Sylvie rejoins the group with ash all over their face / arms

• twigs in circles, and slings & stores with runes on them
  • Sylvie has heard this prophecy before
    • “This has been said before to another”
    • recalling this from a memory that is not my own
    • Sword & ring are intertwined in history
    • Sylvie, was seen visions of elves & goblins wielding both
      • elf being made the same offer: “elves are haunted by the vastness of eternity” “will strangers hear your name long after you’re gone?” “open the chest, take the oath, swear to me and so shall it be”
    • Not ornate sword, good metal
    • After 1st kill, Sylvie see vision with tall fashionably dressed elf with orange red clothes
      • not seeing blood, but blood running into vestments
    • Saw Grinka take the ring, kick body & spit on it
      • “ill take this back”

LONG REST

Fender identifies sword

• possesses spirit called Amatus
• cursed to be stuck once attuned, normally +1/+1, can be +4/+4 any other weapon gives disadvantage
