 +====== 2010-04-27: The Broken Statue ====== 
 +We travel down stream to the statue. Before we have time to land we were attacked by several Gnolls which we easily defeat. We enter the jungle following a clear path. After we pass a small cave whose occupant is a Grey Render the track becomes harder to follow. We settle down for the night and eat some dinner the the forrest suddenly goes quiet.

 +The leaves part an a figure enters the small clearing where we have set up camp. It is a women with white skin and silver hair and wings and holding a flaming sword. Her name is Nirdrama a good Outsider, probably a dieva. She is here to help us and  tell us to find the quarter staff of Alacast to help us in the battle against the demons and devils. 
 + 
 +The next day we discover a large metal pipe 6m in diameter. In the lack of options we enter. We follow the directions of the Hegemonic Plate and after the last bend we hear a rumbling noise and the smell of s sulphur. Suddenly the pipe ends and we sets out into a crater that is warm and stinks of sulphur with brown and yellow clouds.

 +====== 2009-02-14: The Kidnap Victims====== 
 + 
 +We return to the orphanage to ask about //Kheygan Gelv// the locksmith. He seems to have a shop near the [[shared:blue_crater_academy]]. After a short search we found ourselves outside [[shared:ghelve_s_locks]]. 
 + 
 +We asked //Ghelve// for information about the locks and he didn't admit to anything. 
 + 
 +To continue our search we decided to examine the circumstances surrounding the the other abductions therefore we proceed to the [[shared:west_gate]] to talk to the gate guard //Zeb//. He pointed us to sergant //Benteen// at the [[shared:town_guard_baracks]]. 
 + 
 +The sergeant told us that 25 people have gone missing over the last 88 nights. 2-6 people are involved. Both small and large humanoids. We asked of a list of all the people missing and he kindly provided one, and a list of their locations as well. 
 + 
 +We went on to visit one of the closest places where there was a report of a missing person, //Callum Sunnyrush// at the [[shared:tipped_tankard]]. During subtle interrogation the bar master reviles that he believes that en evil cult is responsible, and that //Callum// was abducted from a locked rent room in the middle of the night. The locks was made by [[shared:ghelve_s_locks]].

 + 
 + 
 +====== 2009-02-08: First visit to Cauldron ====== 
 + 
 +After an overnight stop at the [[shared:lucky_monkey]]. I identify some of the [[shared:treasures_found#session_2|magic items]] that we found before we travel forth to [[shared:cauldron]]. 
 + 
 +We say hi to //Zeb//, the old gate guard, as we enter through the [[shared:west_gate]]. On the way to my house we here screams for help and as we rush towards the screaming we encounter three people beating up some one. The assailant's have there faces painted in black and white, the sign of [[shared:the_last_laugh]] and they flee as we approach, interrupting them it seems.  
 + 
 +The battered man turn out to be //Rufus of Tyr// and is a friend to the golden man and the elf. He was investigating the abduction of four children. The assaulter's wanted him to stop looking, and not just mugging him as it first looked like.  
 + 
 +We escort //Rufus// back to the [[shared:church_of_tyr]] where we met //Jenya//, the highest ranking priest present, and //Alek// the chief paladin. The high priest is out on a mission somewhere. //Jenya// asks for our help finding the kidnapped children. After I hear about the reward I gladly accept the [[shared:missing_children|commission]], as do my other traveling companions although I believe the reasoning for doing so is different, at least for some of them.  
 + 
 +{{:shackled_city:session3_riddle.jpg|Riddle presented by Jenya}} 
 +//Jenya// presents all the facts she have gathered so far. Four children have been kidnapped from the [[shared:church_of_tyr|Church of Tyr's]] children's home, [[shared:lantern_street_orphanage]]. There where no signs of a brake in. Several other kidnappings have taken place recently as well. She have promised that the church would find these children. And under the pressing circumstances she had used a divination device of some kind that normally only the high priest were allowed to use. And as expected the outcome was cryptic giving no obvious starting point. Hopefully the riddle she presented will shed more light as we uncover more information. 
 + 
 +I have started compiling a new document with all useful information on this case. I will continue to add all further findings there as well. I have titled the document ---  //[[shared:missing_children]]//

 +====== 2010-10-17 Cauldron ====== 
 + 
 +We are back in Cauldron and hear of a great deal of disturbing news. The Lord Mayor is missing.  
 +The temple of Jergal have started to build on the height.  
 +They are trying to prevent the the morning light to reach the Temple of Lathanter.  
 + 
 +We have information that the Cagewrites are behind the events in cauldron.

 + 
 +====== 2010-06-01: Inside ====== 
 +{{  :blog:shackled_city:synder.jpg?350|The Halfdragon Priest Snyder}}  
 +{{:blog:shackled_city:ravus.jpg?150|The Halfdragon Warrior Ravus}} 
 +We pass the slain giant and enter the evil sphere and encounter a Hydra that we dispatch of quickly.  
 +Further in we have to take care of a stone Golem. Not an easy task I tell you.  
 +You want to be prepared. As we explore we also encounter some undead, that [[shared:Behrel]] turns to dust in an instant,  
 +and more minions of the dragon goddess. The final room is a large chamber with a sphere hovering in the center of it. 
 + 
 +There are two half dragons that we manage to take down an as we think we are safe.  
 +A man from a third party enters and flies to the sphere.  
 +Before we have time to stop him he brings forth a rod adorned with a malicious claw and start to chant.  
 +The the incantation is finished he strikes the sphere with the claw and the sphere opens.  
 +From the mist inside emerges a large red dragon who starts to cast powerful necromantic magic.  
 +To sure of my self I try to counter the dragons magic, and disaster strikes. First it kills my familiar, Todil,  
 +and in a moment later then I am befitted by rage my magic fails me and the dragon slays me as well. 
 + 
 +As the fight continues a man in cloak enters, He wears a brown robe with a smoking eye sigil, 
 +The dragon lures the other members close by and releases another spell that paralyses all but Behrel and the robed man,  
 +who at last manage to take down the dragon with powerful cold magic. The paralyzation holds for several minutes.  
 +Behrel and the robed man quickly moves everybody to the landing platform.  
 + 
 +Looking down that is clear that the Stars is much further from the ground and we hope that the  
 +fly potions not will go out before we land

 + 
 +====== 2010-05-25: The Star ====== 
 +{{  :blog:shackled_city:rhale.jpg?600|}} 
 +A Star fell from the sky. We travelled to investigate as it lands in the direction we are traveling.  
 +We learn that the Dragon goddess is interested. and that her followers seeks something powerful contained within. 
 + 
 +Then we approach there is a huge icon sphere that is hovering over a deep impact crater. 
 +Then we approach we are attacked by acid spitting black ors that we take care of.  
 + 
 +On the orcs we find flying potions that we use to travel to the iron sphere. 
 +On the landing we face a frost Gigant.
