Note that I'm going to spoiler the separate plot lines for now just so its easier to follow them individually. I'm going to assume for the most part that you'll be sharing this information between you. Well, possibly not Vel.

"The University is mostly devoted to the arcane, but they don't seem fussy about who they teach from all I know. Clerics, artificers, mages, warlocks, swordmages, even sorcerers - although how you teach them I've no idea. Those must be strong walls." Hroaldr chuckles slightly at the thought of sorcerer's sitting in a quiet classroom.
"It is well for you to know that the Blight the Witch Queen unleashed upon the land is not natural. Your herbs and poultices will not cure the disease - although they may delay the symptoms."
Blight is a magical disease. Caused by the pernicious evil of a Glazberu demon, it requires a cure affliction spell to remove it from a sufferer. Onset is slow. The victim must take more than 15hp damage (all at once) from a Blight blade or be exposed to a continual source (earth or water) for 5 continuous days. It attacks Fortitude and if it takes hold, steadily eats away at Constitution points. Each point the disease removes adds to the difficulty of the cure. Don't get it.
Ooops. You asked about the shards and I never told you anything.
Hroaldr looks at the fragments with interest. "One was found by the statue of the Savage King and one in the body of the dragon Skyroth, you say?"
He moves the pieces here and there. "They look to me to be part of the same object, possibly a ring of some kind. Namarth may help you there as well. I have no idea what these pieces do, but their location suggests that they are worth keeping at least."
It looks to me that barring any further requests from the Cian Hamaka team, we're about done here. If so, I'll wrap things up and start your new thread.
A second completed adventure lies before you. You have to imagine the huge smile. Congratulations to you all and so many thanks for bearing with me and making this so much fun. Long may it continue.
