Tylia the Wizard's page

Bob, Cindy, Goldslip, Snowball, Tina: 1d5 ⇒ 4 Oh boy... This could be difficult...

Tylia's brow furrows in frustration as Tina tries to shuffle her and her allies out the door. "Well at least let me tell you where the fortress IS! It's somewhere on the north face of Mount Pardas!"

Then you hear the tiefling's voice cry out "Friends! I have news!"

I'm going to assume you let the adventurers come in and talk to you to keep things moving forward with my info dump.

When you guide the adventurers in past your traps, the wizard reveals what she has learned. "The one you called Sevren has been wreaking havoc all across the country, destroying for the fun of it. He seems to be possessed by some extraordinarily powerful being from another plane. I've done some research and it seems the only way to drive the being out of our plane would be through the funnel that you found. But first you would need to battle and incapacitate it. It would take great power to do so." She rubs her hands together gleefully. "Fortunately, I am aware of a possible means to such power. There was a great weapon, the Defender of the Material, wielded by an ancient holy warrior. She drove away some huge threat to our world, scholars differ on what it was, with the weapon but it broke into twelve shards scattered across the land. If we can collect these shards, then we may be able to remake the blade and defeat Sevren's possessor." She smiles even more broadly. "And based on a perusal of historical texts, I believe I have found the location of two of the shards. One became part of the horde of a silver dragon. Nobody knows where the shard is but that dragon is currently held captive by an evil princess in a remote fortress. The other is in the vaults of the Mage's University in the capital. We can find one if you retrieve the other."

Tylia scoops up 500 gp of the horde and leaves the rest for you. She notices the cloak of the hedge wizard but it is only sized for someone far smaller than her so she turns to Xeria and Tina "Does this fit either of you?" Then she taps her chin thoughtfully, turning around and eyeing the destruction. When Bob tells his tale, her eyes widen. "That sounds like bad news indeed. Maybe we should figure out what he is up to... I'll see what I can find and let you know. In the meantime, what do you plan to do with this place?"

True story.

Tylia nods to Cindy. "Yes, I have one parent left and a couple of siblings." She eyes the strange doll with interest. "How about you? Do you have family?"

"giants"? Clearly supposed to be dragons. I blame this on Bob for making me have giants on the brain.

This is why smart giants don't let anything remotely intelligent or wily live with them. Dragons sleep sometimes.

The wizard chuckles slightly at Bob's thoughts and nods. "I am ready and can handle scary. We once were attacked by owlbears while we were sleeping. THAT was incredibly terrifying. And you may call me Tylia since we are going to be friends."
