**Quests**
Princess Snowfall at Dusk
Argot was visited by a vision of a beautiful lady in a dream while he was near death. She asked him to visit her near the Siruul Elves camp in the north. She said to not speak of her to the Elves. She has visited in his dreams a few times since then, compelling him to visit.
The Party went to a tomb near where the Dream Lady said she would be. Outside the tomb some Elven cultists were sacrificing a willing goblin. They discovered the tomb was of an ancient knight named Sir Sarpen. From the tomb they passed through to the Fey Realm and found the Dream Lady in a white tower on a frozen lake.
The Party discovered beautiful lady is the daughter of The Cold Prince. She is imprisoned in the tower until she renounces her love for Sir Sarpen.
Sala-Iman found a glass bottle with a wooden figurine of Seadusa Medusea inside. A riddle was etched on the glass which led to a scavenger hunt around Alkesh culminating at the North Gate. The most recent clue indicated to visit a statue in the Temple District.
Following all the clues led to a statue of Captain Null tearing out the eyes of Fal'Groten The Navigator. Underneath the statue Sala-Iman found a map. He heard a voice and miraculously learned Divine Vengeance.
Meat Axe is receiving visions after killing with Eclipse Fang of a red, green, and blue gems.
The Dragon
The Scourge is an blue desert dragon that torments the people of the desert. It was worshipped by the ancient Pharoah and his followers in his time. The Scourge's lair sits in the most desolate crag of the Gilzai Mountains. It's hoard is a mass of gold and a legendary wand, the Staff of Ord.
The Scourge used to be called Black Sky and defended the desert, even fighting the Cold Prince in the Frost War. It is a prideful, and takes umbrage towards the mortals who have turned away from him after his defense of the desert.
The Cold Prince
Goblins want to reclaim and collect special items to add to a monument for the Cold Prince, a mysterious being who they claim will join forces with the Scourge to rule over the desert.
For Thieves Guild connections (safe storage, info for a price, jobs, hirelings) go to Melvin's Marvelous Mixed Elixirs Apothecary in the slums and ask for manticore milk concentrate.
A woman who appeared to be a cleric of The Lost said she found evidence in old scripture that Saint Kuza, Lost Saint of navigation and geography is in a forgotten shrine of The Lost near the Boiling Sea. She said can be found at the Dancing Fox Tavern.
Max Ready wants the PCs to escort a caravan to the Thraxis arena and ensure a special item gets stolen by the Hawk Bandits on the way. Max will also claim a 40gp bounty in place of the PCs. In trade he will not place a warrant on Meat Axe for his crimes in Portland and will turn a blind eye to the fact they stationed a small squadron of goblins near a local mining camp, endangering lives.
The Party delivered the “special item”, a briefcase with forgery tools and a template for an invitation to a masquerade held by Alkeshi elite, to the Hawk Bandits. But not before taking some of the forgery documents for themselves.
