Crusty is mightily pleased by the richness of the haul and the wealth of potential information that lies within the magic’d tomes. Your next three days are on the house and the viands and vintages are fine indeed. Surprisingly so, in fact given the relatively low-brow (no-brow) atmosphere that prevades this establishment.

In passing, your new-found patron mentions that this level of success will undoubtedly incure emnity and envy from all manner of rival factions and the attention of any and all free-lance and unassigned guild thieves.

He suggests that a contract be taken with the Beggar’s Guild to keep you informed as to any inquiries about the group. The contracts are month-to-month and differ in price based on how often you want updates: anything from hourly to monthly...

The following day the group decides to travel to the other end of the city. Perhaps some adventure leads may be found in a more wealthy part of town. Traveling down Bywater road the group enters the Pirates Cove Inn. After a drink from the bar they meet the owner of the Inn, Crusty. He is aware of the relocation of the entire city. He explains that the city was teleported from a mountainous region. He also claims that the city was in another location before the mountains but that was before he was born.

The owner of the establishment also claims to have a job that may suit efk talents. He has a map of an ancient temple. The group contracts to raid the ruins. That evening in the bar the group drinks ale as magicians chant and draw a large circle around them on the floor...

Traveling across the desert, the group makes their way to the mysterious city. When within site of the city walls it becomes evident that the entire area used to be somewhere else. It looks as though the entire city was plucked from a mountain region and dropped here in the middle of the desert. There are trees and other vegetation surrounding the city as well as a waterfront and docks that also seems to have been transplanted to this location.

Upon arrival at the gates the elves in the group (Orthan, Greenleaf & Skilver) are looked over very closely. Greenleaf must pay a toll of 100gp presumably because of his race and alignment. It seems as though the city is slanted toward the evil side of things. The gate clerk (Armigan) asks each of the group their name and occupation...

Upon leaving Orlbar, the group travels towards the desert lands. The road is uneventful for many days. The party makes their way into the eastern mountains and arrives at the Dawn Pass. Controlled by a mighty beholder, each party member must pay a toll of 10 gold pieces to be granted safe passage. After traveling for several more days the group makes camp in the final foothills just above the vast desert floor. The shinning city can be seen as just a glimmer on the horizon. Greenleaf and Max begin making daily flights to scout the best rout to the city.

One afternoon the party encounters a group of soldiers traveling away from the city. The druids help them with some quick water to wine as a gesture of good will...

Traveling south from Waterdeep the efk randomly encounters a green dragon. Presumably preying on the roadway the worm makes it’s first flyby. Raineer releases a spell of electricity upon the flying menace. As the creature passes it unleashes its gaseous breath upon the road. Then orthan and his horse are lifted from the road and thrown across the plain. In his flight, orthan is able to drink a potion of gaseous form and save him-self from certain death. His horse, upon smashing accross the land, is returned to its previous owner. (The mount spell is truly demented)
On the second pass the dragon is struck again with electrical magic and finally brought down by a precisely slung^20! thudmeister bullet. Orthan rushes to pronounce victory!

The group travels south to Orlbar to seek magical train...
