Town
Finishing up your business with Azure and the monks was easy enough. As you leave the monetary you can see the darkness in the distance back towards Klaverjassen. The darkness moves slowly headed in your direction. The speed of progression is slower than you remembered it being and you are left to wonder the reason. Heading down the mountain and through the woods is fairly simple. The path seems to have been vacated as word of the invasion must have already spread, undoubtedly by those who went through the portal. After a long journey you arrive at the capital gates, now shut. Several guards stand outside. One of the points to you and approaches informing you that the governing council wants to speak with you. The guard along with five others from inside escort you to a lavish building. Ornate carvings and stone features line the halls and in the center is a large domed room. You are told to stand in the middle and within a few minutes several lavishly dressed individuals take seats in podiums around the edges. The guards remain nearby.
It has come to our attention that you have been in league with Lord Larimore and Sir Shortay in the bringing forth of this plague. How plead you to these charges?

"BETRAYED by Larimore and Shortay, you should say!!! We are victims as much as you are!!!"
"We have been diligent in our efforts to counter this darkness. We ventured into perilous domains to retrieve a means to counter this darkness. We are prepared to offer these magics, if only we knew our standing with you. Where do we stand?"

Re: Town
You stand accused. You say you were victims and have been seeking to help. Present your evidence.

Re: Town
The council moves to discuss what has just been said. examining the scroll and taking the ruby dust.
We are content with your evidence and your willingness to help. The high priest will rally the clerics to perform the ritual with our speel. The archmage has a plan to assist us on the offensive but could use your assistance. We desire to raise a simulacrum of an ancient black dragon to project the city. We need you to retrieve a scale from the dragon in the great swamp. His yaun-ti worshipers collect the scales and use them in their worship within his temple. Are you willing to undertake this quest?

Re: Town
If the rest of you agree go ahead and prepare yourselves. The Archmage will teleport you there when you are ready. Please make hast time is of the essence.
Re: Town
When they go returns ready to leave the arch mage have them a necklace. Telling them to break it when they are ready to return and he will open a portal to them.
Confirming the instructions are understood he opens a portal allowing the group to walk through.
On the other side you find your in a swampy forest. Large puddles of stagnant water are all around interested with the roots and soggy ground patches. If in the distance you can make it the to of a stepped pyramid. The supposed home if the dragon and good yaun-ti worshipers.

Re: Town
The alligator quickly submerges beneath the murky swamp water after its initial attack. Diapering completely from view. Only the slight sound of moving water and the ripples along its surface giving any indication of the previous occupation.
The sound of birds, frogs and crickets which surrounded you at your arrival and now notably absent. The portal behind you snaps shut its illuminating glow dissipating leaving only the distilled light which trickles down through the treetops
and through the mists of the swamp. As your eyes adjust you see swampland all around you. The ground is littered with puddles, mud, and foliage. Solid ground is obscured and each step you take must be carefully tested and controlled to prevent falls.
Lights in the direction of the temple can be seen flickering as from torches. The path to the temple seemly marked on either side by torches elevated on large poles. From your current distance you are unable to see any other features. After a few minutes
the sounds of swamp life begin to return.

Re: Town
Another Aligator appears from the mud its face inches from the Monkey man's head. Its form begins to distort as the snout shrinks revealing the face of a young looking elf female. She reaches out with her arms to help. Speaking in Elvish

Re: Town
Indeed I've never seen your kind before. Where do you come from and why are you here?
