Rayne Gellar makes new friends.

Since Selune revealed herself to me and restored my cleric abilities, I have been wandering the Sword Coast somewhat directionless. Last night, as I sat on the shore staring up at the full moon and talking to Selune (though she has never answered more than once), I was in the midst of expressing my desire to be of service in some way that would wash some of the blood from my hands. But, unexpectedly, the world turned inside out.
 
I found myself in the strangest of places, surrounded by the strangest of companions. I can only assume that Selune has a task for me among this party that claims to be saving the world from the return of ancient dwarven gods. The strange metal chambers I found myself in convinced me of the seriousness of their plight.
 
My initial reception among the party was less than welcoming, but by the end of the day I believe I was able to earn their trust. There was a strange Kenku warlock, named Offa, who was carrying around a talking head on a stick. The head was quite informative and useful. There was also a headstrong dragonborn Paladin, named Gorthax, who reminded me of my fallen companion, Jaehaerys. I hope his ambition doesn't burn so bright and his heart doesn't turn so cold. Lastly, there was a good-hearted druid, named Salina. While Salina was the most welcoming of the group, I believe her large cat companion wanted to taste my intestines. But by Selune, I will do all in my power to see that they succeed in their task.
 
My new companions and I made our way pretty effortlessly through this ancient dwarven base, finding marvel after marvel. There was a sword of light able to cut through solid steel, meat that had been preserved for 100,000 years, and even a chamber that our talking head guide assured us would alter our psychology to make us stronger. My desire to become stronger has been tempered by the tragedy I have seen, but still burns. I narrowly avoided the temptation to succumb to this offer of alteration, but at the last minute, I came to my senses just in time to face an invading force.
 
Three large metal-clad warriors attacked us. It was a close call, as these were formidable warriors. My new Kenku friend was able to restrain them, and thanks to Selune, I was able to call on my power to deal a fatal blow. It's strange how Selune affects the storm inside of me. Where once billowing storm clouds would roll in at my call, now there is just the mottled clouds on a moonlit summer's night. When I called down lightning on my foes, what once was a forked strike of jagged electricity now strikes as a beam of silver-blue moonlight crackling with electricity. The effect of the strike was not diminished in any way, as I channeled my full power into the beam, killing two of the three warriors outright, while crippling the third. With only the leader of the crew left to deal with, my new companions and I quickly dispatched him, and settled into our chamber to rest for the night.
