Session starts Dreamember 32nd 800av 6:00AM.
- The party awakens in a large cavern with a hole in the center above them and an archway to the left that appears to be an entrance. Upon closer inspection they also notice a hallway in front of them that has what appear to be two eyes looking at them.

- The finally notice that they are shackled to some kind of magical shackles that only seem to affect their legs, preventing them from moving more than 30ft.
- Shain uses Dancing Lights to shine some light in the direction of the eyes.
- A man is standing there next to the hallway, he he doesn’t identify himself, the man looks quite malnourished, his hair frayed and his clothes tattered, his hands and feet have sores on them. He casts some kind of fireball heading right toward the party.
- Surprisingly the fireball does not do damage.
- The party continues trying to talk to the man as he continues casting magic at the party.
- Eventually a dragon magically appears. He was likely concealing himself with invisibility magic, but the way it disperses seems wrong.
- Regardless, the dragon eyes the party, eventually demanding that the heir steps forward.
- The party, initially confused, begins to think that the dragon is not aware which one of them is the heir to Gondor. But, before any cool shenanigans, Aragorn takes a step forward.
- Aerendyl hears wispers of power coming the ring. But something is different. The ring in his bag only ever said words out loud, just saying “I can give you power”. But now, the ring is whispering to him and him alone. The ring tells Aerendyl if he just it on, he could defeat the dragon and escape. If he just put it on, he would be able to do so much good. “Think of all the dark elves we could kill you and I…”
- The dragon, Pyrostralos, asks Aragorn what makes him so special, what could possibly make him so desirable?
- Aragorn, unsure as to what it could mean, simply responds with “nothing”.
- The dragon frees the rest of the party and tells them to leave as he only has need of the heir. It is explained that he plans to make a deal with “the queen” for him in exchange for his freedom.
- The party comes to learn that the dragon is trapped, and thus so is the party, in this large cavern. The source of this magic is Mystra in some capacity.
- Caitlin swears that she is the last vestige of Mystra alive and can help the dragon if he allows.
- Pyrostralos is not convinced. He again claims that the deal with the queen is the only option and that they should just leave things be. The dragon also looks toward Solvar, telling him not to attack just yet.
- The dragon disappears through some magical means, leaving the human, Solvar, all alone there in the cave.
- Now forbidden to attack, Solvar talks with Caitlin where the party notices that he has a ring on his finger. Aerendyl realizes the ring is quite similar to his. The only difference is that Solvar’s has a green emblem and his has a blue one.
- The ring continues whispering in Aerendyl’s ear, telling him that Solvar gave into the power of the ring, he was too weak to resist giving in, but Aerendyl is different, he could wield the ring for good. It continued and explained that the relationship is symbiotic, the ring was bored it had been in the dark, in boxes for thousands of years. But if Aerendyl would just put on the ring, he could finally see again. Then, he would be content.
- Caitlin and Solvar continue talking as Aerendyl looks around the cave. He finds an archway that appears to head outside. The archway seems reactive to his presence, building up protective layers the closer he approaches.
- After a couple minutes, the archway opens, a woman in an ice dress walks through.
- Her presence pushes Aerendyl back and causes Pyrostralos to reappear.
- The dragon acknowledges her as Queen Kamiya of Lovantia. She actively ignores everyone else and goes straight for Aragorn.
- Caitlin tries to stop her by physically blocking her path, but the queen turns to Pyrostralos to intervene.
- Unfortunately, Pyrostralos does and blows Caitlin back 40ft.
- The Queen raises her hand causing Aragorn to be suspended in the air, unable to move. When she cast the magic, she seemed to age by 20 years. She doesnt acknowledge it though, as she begins searching through his pockets looking for something.
- Caitlin decides to try something honestly absurd. She runs up to Solvar and empowers his ring. In doing so, Solvar’s body begins to rapidly deteriorate. Solvar, who was already withered in appearance, became little more than a standing skeleton. With his last breath, he activated Flame Strike. This Flame Strike, empowered by the boosted ring, caused a blinding white light, completely “nuking” the queen. The only thing remaining; the Ice Dress.
- Caitlin immediately grabs the dress and puts it on. She immediately attunes to the dress upon donning it expecting fanciful magic. Unfortunately, it is as though the ice dress is “depleted”. He innately knows it can do some amazing things, but when he tries its like the dress doesn’t have any batteries.
- Caitlin then goes to Aragorn, who is now on the floor, and asks him if he has anything that might be related. Her though process is that maybe Queen Kamiya was wanting something from Aragorn to power the dress as well.
- Aragorn, after stumbling around not knowing of anything, pulls out a wooden box that his mother gave him. He claims that he doesn’t know what it is and doesn’t think its very important.
- Caitlin, completely ignoring him, immediately destroys the box, revealing the Glacial Heart Amulet locked inside.
- She immediately dons the necklace (the Glacial Heart Amulet) and feels her dress power up. She then realizes she has complete control of the area they are in. Believing she can do anything, she immediately tries to revive and heal Solvar.
- In doing so, the field collapses, but it does return Solvar to his previous state.
Session ends Dreamember 32nd 800av 11:00AM.
