They continue upwards to the attack, at which point JOhn sees a floating dragonshard infused with elemental energy and Wolfran's tortured spirit. He carefully aims a bow shot and shoots it out of the air, where it cracks, shatters and falls to the ocean floor. The house then starts to fall down around them as they run to the exits, barely escaping the theatrical destruction.
Conclusion
They work their way down the cliffside to the boat launch where the Zombie Traven is awaiting ready to leave in an elemental skiff. The party piles in, and then meets up with their original ship, hiding Traven from sight. The ship sets sail back to Sharn, with the skiff and the party providing outer security. Once they return to Sharn Traven decides to head to Karrnath to learn more about his undeath condition. Nevimelk decides to give up the active adventuring life and settle into a mapmaking job within the Wayfinder's guild, Geoff decides to stay closer to home as a guard in Sharn and slowly advances through the ranks appropriately,
Torion and Daellin return to High Walls with Auric Davian. They recount their adventures to Brasco Nannin who laughs madly and reminds Auric that he warned him of their potential for collateral damage.
Torion and Daellin each get 300 gp from Auric, as promised. Torion cashes the 1500gp letter of credit, and Daellin takes the deed to Wolfran Island, with plans to renovate it as his stronghold. Torion uses a bit of his cash to purchase a permanent room, an actually nice room, in the Weary Unicorn and some things that may come in handy.
State of the world at campaign start
Daellin has renovated Wolfran Island, clearing out the Ghoul Village to the Northeast of the island, and beginning the rebuilding of the manor. He remains a strong ally of Torion, communicating with him through a magical mirror found in the wreckage.
Auric has become even more of a celebrity of late, telling his tales of adventure to anyone who will listen.
Nevimelk is an influential member of the Wayfinder's Guild.
Geoffrey is a member of the Sharn watch, actually rising to the rank of Sergeant and presiding over Callestan district.
Torion has risen among the ranks of House Vadalis slightly. He hasn't done much to actually raise the standing or profits of the house directly, but his name is starting to be mentioned a bit more lately in conversation. Also of significance; his dragonmark has been growing, expanding to a Lesser Mark of Handling, with his choice of power. This is theorized to be a response to his exposure to the massive Khyber Shard explosion at Wolfran's.
