Among the Mages

- Lots of chatting because Mrs. Wells is having a rough night - The group pauses and pants for a few minutes. - Zaril gets a Sending from Barkridge, "Did you defeat the creatures or do you require additional assistance?" - She returns, "We killed everything, you asshat. Thanks for abandoning us. Your house is on fire. You might want to come deal with that. We are napping." - After a few moments, Barkridge reappears with a pop in the middle of the room. - The roof structure of the house is badly damaged and might collapse. - There is much grumbling about Barkridge's abandonment - Zaril digs the Bag of Hold out of the rubble and dusts it off. - She takes it and dashes up the stairs to where we left our pile of stuff and stuff it all in then grabs a bunch of things that look valuable (200 GP worth of objet d'art, vases and stuff) - They finally get out of the slowly burning building. - Neil whistles for Penny who trots over - Barkridge casts Control...

- April's first away session  :-( - Technical difficulties - The group heads down to breakfast as requested. - Acta "hides" at the table - They have been directed to take it directly to the fire giants at Mount Arbormor - Acta asks if he can't just teleport us there directly - he exasperatedly says no - The group asks him about the Poofy Pants fellows, and he doesn't recognize the description, but when Zaril shows him the bow and he examines it he says it looks familiar, but Zaril thinks he knows more - Neil spills the beans about Elillune and Chemondoro and says that we know he's a wizard, Valador - Valador admits it - He says that the bow indeed did come from Chemondoro - Chemondoro has located some sort of source for magical components and energy - to control the source is to have great power - Sariel assumes he wants world domination, he claims to only want to control his bit of it - Breakfast is over with a promise to talk again at lunch - T...
