The party speak with the queen of the copper dragons and she tells them about karolax, the black leich dragon that is causing all the unrest. She also gives a few of her scales as part of the quest with the darians. Agran, one of her sentinels, then takes the party to the marshlands and leaves them there. it is there they find an bunch of old, wrecked, caravans and some spectres that tell us that someone wants the answers here, and that it would be bad if that someone got them. Hextor goes and investigates and finds a box with magic books in it. The magic users agree these are very powerful, some of them hinky, and the party agree they need to take them for safe keeping.

The party then spend some time using 5.6 to make a raft and they set out into the swamp. but they haven’t gone far when they come across a zombie anaconda. A fight ensues and half the party end up in the muck of the swamp, but Fyi manages to lift everyone out and back onto the raft with the staff of the magi. they are all dirty and smelly and Alexis is upset because she traded her soap for food.

The party converse with the barbarian scouts a little longer, and decide to return to the nomad’s camp with him to talk to their chief and advisor.

Once there they talk to the cheif and hear about how his son and some necromacer are trying to take over the tribe. The advisor, a druid, says the dragons are in the northern mountains.

The party go to eat and rest, but 5.6 is hungry and so he and Alexis go find some food. While out there they see the son and necromancer conspiring. They hurry back and tell people, Alexis is thanked for the info and goes to sleep with Hextor promising to wake them if anything happens. They go to sleep, and are then wakened sometime later by news that the son has attcked his father and advisor. The party rush to see if they can help the cheif and he tels them they are readed to the burial grouds to raise the dead.

The party rush over there and kill the undead that have been raised so far, along with the chief’s son. However the necromancer gets away.

The next morning they set out North to the eyrie, get lost a bit and it takes them a couple of days, but they get there and there is a set of massive stairs leading up. However before they were warned they would have to answer some riddles. Alexis looks at the ‘statues’ guarding the stairs and says, ‘alright, which one of you is real?’. A copper dragon pops  his head down and says, ‘Daragons you are here to see, but answer first these riddles three: one, what walks on four legs in the morning, two in the afternoon and three come evening?’

Alexis says ‘that’s easy, a man.’

the dragon asks two more about prince myre that Alexis gets right and they walk up the stairs, which take a few days more. When they get to the top they are confronted with a blank stone wall. Fyi asks how they are meant to get in and a dragon turns up and says he knows the answer but wants something in return. Alexis plays the game and offers him shiny gold coins in return which he greedily accepts. he shows them the way in and they proceed inside to be met by hundreds of cute baby dragons which delight Alexis and Selena.

The party face off against the Jestsers and defeat them fairly easily. They then loot the corpse of the Jester’s cleric and then stand around wodering what to do. The cleric has a funky evil sword on him, that the cleric casts dispel evil on so they can sell it. They also find a pecie of parchment that says ‘spread the word brother. the master is returned to his keep and the prohet is risen’, some divination rocks, that are used to provide ambigious results but that confirms what the parchment says, and a holy symbol that resembles a dragon in flight with a tear-drop.

After mulling around they decide to start of north to find the copper dragon Eyrie. They walk until it starts getting dark when they decide to stop and make camp. However they hear hoof beats in the distance. Alexis, Hextor and Edwin go check it out. The hoof beats belong to some barbarian types, and the party converses with them util the one guy signals his mate and Alexis gets pissed off.
