Greyhawk Campaign.

[Siberys]

"Come in, come in," he says.

He leads you into the house which is rather tall for a gnome's residence.

"Now where did I put that key," he says. "There it is."

-He opens the sphere-

Inside the sphere is a platter with a red orb laying upon it.

"Let me get you two some good ol ale for tonight. You two have traveled long enough for today so please, be my guests and stay the night in my spare room."

The gnome is speaking this clearly, but he seems to be transfixed on the red orb in the container.

[Magrus]

"Thank you sir, we appreciate your kindness. Might I ask what it is we've been carrying the last 5 days for you?"

[Siberys]

"This here is an orb of dragonkind. Very powerful artifact it is."

(You two know that artifacts are VERY powerful magic items, but not what they do nor how to us them)

"Right now, I am looking for all ten of them, but seem to only have aquired 3. I need to collect them to restore peace to the dragonkind from the war a couple of years ago. Ever since the war started, the dragons have been dying one by one. They say that the heart of the dragon relies on how greyhawk is fairing and right now, it has almost collapsed."

[Magrus]

"These orbs, they'll help those dragons then?"

[Siberys]

"Yes, indeed they will," he says.

He tells you to let him study for a while and sends you two to the spare room. You two enter the room and see a few spare beds and pick the one you want out for yourself.

(300 XP)

You two wait out the gnomes wishes.

[Magrus]

Magrus says to Dosker "Well, that was interesting. I might as well get some rest while there's time." and then goes to sleep.

I'm gonna have to call it a night man, I've finally gotten tired.

[Siberys]

"Agreed," Dosker says.

As you two wake up the next morning, there is a note on the floor with a blue orb about the size of the red one.

"Dear Magrus and Dosker,

I am sorry for making you wait in the guest room, but I did have important matters with this orb. I ask that you take this orb and do me a favor. I ask that you try and find the other orbs of Dragonkind for me. I will pay you a generous sum of money for this if you accept. This orb also has a secondary function. If you hold it in your hands and think of an area that is familiar to you, you will be teleported there instantly as well as any companions that you think of. The main function of this is it pulses when a dragon is near, or another orb. I am off to search myself for more orbs to help restore order to the dragonkind. I also ask that you NOT abuse this gift. I thank you for any help you give me, and I will repay you in full. I am sorry for the inconvenience again.

Your's truly-
Lyvandor Rustpenny."

[Magrus]

"That's a good bit of trust from a person we just met. Still...it's quite a step up from clearing bridges from bandits eh? I say we go for it, how about you Dosker?"

[Siberys]

Dosker speaks.

"No kidding, especially with an artifact. I think we should get back to masster Quiks place for his guidance."

[Magrus]

"Good idea. I wonder if we should test out the power he mentioned in his note? Feel like teleporting back there?"

[Siberys]

"I'm up for that instead of a possible orc attack."

As he says that he puts his hand on your shoulder and with the orb, he obviously thinks of quik's place as you feel yourself being drawn there almost immediatly.

You suddenly see Quik jolt from his study to see what the loud -POP- of the teleport was. He soon finds out it was you two and approaches you.

"Where did you get the orb of the blue dragons? Did you steal it?"

He sounds a little shaken at why you have it.

[Magrus]

Dizzily shaking his head, Magrus says "No, he left us this note, here, read it." and procures the note.

[Siberys]

-He takes the note and begins reading it-

"This is his writing alright, and that's his signature."

"Very well, I can see that the orb is your property now, but might I still give you knowledge of where you can start to look? I also -might- have another companion for you if he is to show up to this school soon."

"In the mountains of greyhawk in a cave about 35 miles from hegran, there lies an ancient white dragon. In the city of Magic known as Mamogras, you'll find many metallic dragons living there in peace. Finally, in the swamps between Balgera and here is could be a black dragon. All of these dragons are quite old and would not reccomend confronting the chromatic ones just yet. However, if you later were to persuade them into telling you where the orbs were, by speaking with them through there death, or them giving you the knowledge without attacking, this would make it easier on you and the dragons. All the dragons, evil or not, have a pain in them so deep that no mortal could possibly heal them, but the orbs could very well do this."

"Are there any questions," he asks you.

[Magrus]

"Another companion would be helpful. Let's hope he shows up soon. Are you suggesting we go in search of these orbs, and avoid asking those dragons about them? Wouldn't they be most likely to have knowledge of them? Also, was there anything else you could tell me about how this thing works, and what it's limitations are?"
