16th-23rd Ches 1458DR As Zephyra’s tower travelled east, the Griffons debated where to go next. They decided that the other half of the conch was the next immediate priority and so directed Zephyra to fly to the east towards Ironslag. On the way they knew that they would be passing Mithral Hall and saw this as an opportunity to speak to Queen Dagnabbet and give her the Jarl’s helmet. After a few days travel they saw the familiar mountains and gates of Mithral Hall. Amadeo

16th Ches 1458DR The Griffons had a mere 10 minutes to prepare for Haelgra’s arrival. Quickly scattering caltrops around the empty space where the Krigvind would dock, they hid in the seemingly abandoned building to the west and the giant’s drinking hall to the southwest, alongside the elves and dwarves. However, Korrak stood alone and brandished his warhammer as the ship drew closer. As they got closer, they saw confirmation of what Carlan’s imp had seen: the Jarl held a

Korrak decided to make an attempt at subterfuge, explaining how he would pretend to be a newly-captured thrall who could serve them poisoned ale. The rest of the Griffons opted to w

12th-16th Ches 1458DR Standing at the bar in the taproom of the Singing Manticore Tavern in Fireshear, the party debated what to do. Fenris decided to ask the barman about transport out of the city. The barman (a man named Thel Drumm) was alarmed at the thought of anyone intentionally sailing to Svardborg but said a ship could possibly be chartered from the docks. If they wanted something faster there was a griffon-trainer who lived outside the city who could be hired at a

8th -12th Ches 1458DR The Griffons had a little while before the audience with Queen Dagnabbet and spent the time strategising on how to approach her. Darius set out a series of arguments to sway the Queen: (i) The Giants were a problem that was affecting everyone (especially as she had been recently wounded by Hill Giants) (ii) Zephyra had only shown good intentions and had come peacefully when her tower was boarded by Aurexithra and Hewen (iii) The Gilded Griffons were
