There are things which should remain unspoken of how it is we ended in the Palace, but it was in the Palace we ended up.

I had the pleasure to make the acquaintance of General Nirmalya, an Efreet of Gozva Ka, and Adivsor Elçin, Djinni lady working for Farnesslee of Burin Bi. The Advisor seems to have wishes available, something which she's offered in exchange for favor when she thought it to be prudent for our return trip. More on that in a moment.

As we were enjoying the festivities in the ballroom, a guard burst in and announced we were under lockdown. Those acquaintances which we made during the initial socializing were leveraged to get out of the ballroom and speak to the captain of the Queen's Guard, whom we offered all the information we'd collected in the last few weeks.

The Soverign Firtinia, a disliked man, had taken the Calimemnon Crystal. We were tasked with its retrieval.
Through conversations, we learned Firtinia had a hidden space in renovated sewers beneath his city, and there we were teleported by the Advisor who had visited before to see his... Bedroom. I very purposefully asked no questions.

We navigated through, encountering ice, and... Things get blurry. My memory is starting to grow a bit better but the Beast, its hate is so visceral, so... Scared. My hate is so scared.

We managed to return the Crystal, my jaws ached, and there was blood beneath my nails. Apparently, it was enough to be rewarded by the Sultana. Gold, her blessing, a belt.
But this isn't the end. Far from it. I need to talk with the Advisor or perhaps the General, who I'm admittedly a bit... Well. Not worth writing in the report.

I have to get that wish.

We all arrived at the city of Calimport, dressed to impress, before heading up to the palace where this Three Day's Festival was taking place. One of the Night Wisps let us in, as we snuck in the back door. The place was full of dragonborn guards, and we decided against sneaking around as to not draw further suspicion to ourselves. Entering the party proper, it was certainly full of nobility, and some recognized us as Alvis and the Boys... We knew that the Sovereign ForTuna, the Myrid, was up to something. Best to divide and conquer.

The party split up to gather more information, and I made my way over to the table full of guards. And one of them was the Captain. He seemed to be in good spirits, but I told him to keep an eye on that water delegation.... This, of course, was right before a guard came rushing in to inform the Captain that something had been stolen. The Calimemnon Crystal. I knew the name well... some folklore spoke of an item that trapped hundreds of djinn. If it had been taken... likely they would try to destroy it.

The party once again split, trying to gather support to go after the Sovereign. I recognized that someone was missing, and moved to speak to a different Captain, Sojo, who was the captain of the City Guard. Apparently his wife was off to investigate further, and he was rather... bored. I told him of our plan to go after the thief, and asked if he wanted to join. He did, and we all got teleported to the Sovereign's underground sewer lair.

It was freezing there. And full of ice guardians that did not take kindly to our intrusion. I barely held on...

But, during the final conflict, we quickly handled the Sovereign, and his water elemental companions. When we returned, we gave the Calimemnon Crystal back to the Sulteness, and she showered us in rewards.

It has been a while since I had to bear the scorching heat of Calimshan, so back to my leathers it was, but thankfully it was under better conditions. Invited to a festival, which we got access into thanks to Alvis and "the Boys" previous work with Calimport, so we can keep an eye out for a water djin, Sovereign Firtinia, who's looking to sabotage the sultana.

We mingled for a while to gather information, met and danced with a lovely air djin, even if she didn't have much to converse with... But I got a possible trip to the Elemental Plane of Air, so I'll take that as a win. Unfortunately, the fun time ended quickly when a guard came in to lock down the place as the Calimemnon Crystal was stolen.

After some inquiry and recruitment of additional allies, we got teleported to the Sovereign's place with the help of Deryan and Advisor Elçin. Now deep into a watery and freezing place, pushing through several ice elementals, we found the myrid... which we dispatched rather quickly and got the crystal back.

Upon the Sultana herself called to us to be rewarded with quite the bounty and even receive her elemental blessing, which may come in handy.

I should go to the Air Elemental Plane someday.
