<p><b>"The Pathfinders killed him! He stumbled upon their so-called investigation and they silenced him the only way they know how. I saw them drag the body down into the tunnels."</b> Raike interjects, her desperation shown clear.</p>

<p><span class=messageboard-ooc>One of you can confirm this with the letter you found on his body.</span></p>
<p>With this final indignation laid bare, the hobgoblin leader announces his decision.</p>
<p><b>"Although I would have gone into this night with quite a choice to consider, the revelations today have made that easy for me.

<p>Artennod Raike raises her arm into the air and her hawk returns from its perch on the mess hall. She holds it in position as she motions for her entourage to follow and they disappear into what is left of their huts to gather their belongings. <b>"I will remember you all."</b> she says simply - her words hanging heavy in the air, particularly around the kobold shaman.</p>
<p>Once they have departed (under the careful watch of the remaining hobgoblin army), the Lieutenant relaxes slightly. <b>"As you can imagine, I am in no mood to discuss the terms of our new agreement with the Society tonight, but instead let us prepare for a feast to celebrate its beginning. Tomorrow, we shall get down to business."</b></p>

<p>The next day, after the formal discussions have concluded, a relieved Sergeant Drussem leads you out of the camp and on their way back to Varisia and eventually on to Magnimar to meet up again with Venture-Captain Heidmarch for a debriefing.

<p>As your group gathers and prepares to leave for Absalom, the mood in town is quite somber for such a successful rebellion. Only the slag giant Valsog walks you slowly to the front gates (now visible as the illusion hiding the settlement has faded with Tygora’s demise). He pulls Therin aside and offers his services to repair the blade <i>Gamin</i> as thanks for what was accomplished.</p>
<p>With the unfortunate and untimely death of Glaheri in the throne room, Eurdan Stonemantle does his best to organize and encourage the newly liberated geniekin, though he would undoubtedly be better able to lead them with the help of his former associate.</p>
<p>As a result, many ifrits ultimately accept Tygora’s defeat but refuse to live alongside the oreads as equals, leading to a large exodus of geniekin over the ensuing months that leaves Crystalcrag weaker and its future... <i>uncertain</i>.</p>

<p>Just before your arrival in Barrowmoor, a spy’s report informs Golbrier that the Onyx Alliance expedition has found the Cairn of Shadows and they’ve begun excavating the ancient tomb. The report pinpoints the cairn’s location, but can’t be sure how long the Onyx Alliance has been inside.</p>
<p>————————————————</p>
<p>The barrow mound holding the entrance to the Cairn of Shadows is a tall mount of rock and gray earth, some thirty feet in diameter and twenty feet high. One side has been excavated with piles of dirt and lose rocks tossed about. The excavation into the tomb is only a few yards deep, beyond which there is an archway made of black stone and the tunnel walls change from roughly dug dirt to worked black stone.</p>
<p><b>"Well it's time for you to earn your pay. I'll wait outside here."</b> Golbrier says cheerfully, his face betraying the dread he feels for you.</p>

<p>Catching up with Golbrier in the alley, he leads you to the safehouse of a Desnan sympathizer, who prepares horses for your travels out of the city.</p>
<p>Golbrier fill you in on developments while you wait. <b>"Thank you all again for the rescue. That could have really put a fork into the soup. Anyways, my most recent information from the <i>Whispered Song</i> is about the leader of the Onyx Alliance expedition, a man named <i>Lord Maravan</i>. My sources say Maravan is a spellcaster of some power, having trained in the <i>Arcanamirium</i> in your Absalom, but also an accomplished duelist who studied under a Tian Xia weaponmaster. Whispered Song spies have heard him claim he was planning on recovering a minor artifact known as an <i>obsidian obelisk</i>. Now, Maravan seems to know the location of an ancient barrow known as the <i>Cairn of Shadows</i>, which lies within the <i>Barrowmoor</i>. They believed it was the burial mound of a horselord chieftain named <i>Telendrak</i>, an ancient foe of the Midnight Lord who the Desnans hold in high esteem."</b></p>
<p>He takes a peek out the window to see the progress of the mounts.</p>
<p><b>"I'm quite happy to have fearsome allies willing to explore the site, though I'm not interested in entering the barrow myself. You know... <i>I’m a lover... and a singer... and a bit of a dancer, but not a fighter</i>.”</b></p>
<p>He blushes as he jigs to the last few thoughts, then moves to his baggage. <b>"Here, the <i>Whispered Song</i> thought you could use these, and I suppose they might do for a reward for my rescue as well."</b></p>
<p>He hands over two <i>cloaks of elvenkind</i> for your use.</p>
<p>The house owner returns and announces the horses are ready. </p>
<p><b>"Well, it's about two hundred miles to <i>Barrowmoor</i>, should take us a week. Better stock up on food and water.

But after the demiplane finishes tearing itself apart, its built-in processes should slowly begin stitching it back together, so there’s the possibility that the tapestry demiplane could restore itself within your lifetimes — and if and when it does, I hereby bequeath it to the Society for your actions here in my defense.
