General Summary

Month 1, Week 3, Year 942   For months a job listing sat neglected on the Gilded Hecat Guild mission board, a small mountain village in Broggfey asking for adventurers to investigate a series of rockslides in the region. But without a hefty reward attached to the mission few were willing to risk the trek up into the trecherous mountain range, but for the ones who did treasure and ancient mysteries awaited them.   It started with a rumor from Horatio Halfhand of the Fat Valley Bandits, whose team had surveyed the mountains above the settlement and discovered an ancient temple devoted to the Dragon God-Kings. This was tempting enough to get other adventurers on board with the mission, and by the start of the new year a team of novices and newcomers was ready to see the mountains for themselves.   Horatio's mission had mapped out the first few points of interest on the way to the temple, and after a trecherous climb they arrived at the ancient ruins that had somehow survived thousands of years of upheaval. The adventurers sensed magic emanating from the ruins, but they decided to focus on the rockslides and continued hiking up the mountain for the rest of the day. A fearsome owlbear nearly attacked the group on a narrow trail, but a devastating blow from Tor N'Dal soon scared it away.   By nightfall the party had reached the top of the mountain range, with a view that stretched out for miles in all directions. The mood felt strange so high above the world: the Veil shimmered and warped in places, and strange lights and colors danced in the sky. The party camped out at an ancient observatory dating back to the days of Old Myltev, and from there they surveyed the region for any signs of rockslides. It was hard to confirm specific details, but they were able to spot a group of strange figures performing a ritual far away on a neighboring mountaintop. The rituals surely were the cause of the rockslides given their monthly regularity, but the why and how of the situation still remained a mystery.   The party returned to GHG HQ after this expedition to report their findings, perhaps someday in the future they'd have the resources to fully uncover all the mysteries of the Temeraire Mtns.
