Sessions 28-29

• The party followed the runes the shaman gave them into the forest nad located Matryuska in front of an ancient doorway.
• Matryuska told Mulghragh that the forst was made by Licurzepka and was meant to keep something locked inside.
• She showed them into the doorway where they found the last 12 opium Lizard eggs, that she gave to Mulghragh.
• The cave was filled with a nauseous, poisonous gas, emerging from a wide well. They descented into it and in the bottom found a vast cavern, covered with a living substance reminiscent of Ad'ar and several large insectlike beings. According to Matryuska, it is that gas that made the lizard produce opium once born.
• Once back Mulghragh confronted the shaman and the party descented into the Ziggurat, where they located they dead body of Thund, and fought some of the same insectlike being, also exposing proof that the Shaman was a Davari, carved into the form of an Orc by the same beings.
•  They were imprisoned in Faerie by a Banshee, operating for a goup of Fomorians that guarded the mound of Thund.
• The Fomorians came and, after revealing the events in the Lay of Thund:

1. Allowed Mulghragh to leave under the agreement that he would slay the Shaman and return the Orcs to their Old Ways.
2. Allowed The Elf to leave under the agreement that he would no pursue the arm of Oonagh and would not pursue a journey to the north, for fear that the elves would come in contact once more with Dain and the Old Gods.
3. They cautioned everyone about Beric talking to the Dragon and Remy being a Dragon himself. According to the Fomorians those two would have no choice but to travel to the north and join forces with Pazuzu in Gorias.

• The party ascended the Ziggurat and slew the Shaman and his followers.
• It was agreed that the Orcs would pursue their old nomadic ways.
• The talks of the possibility of Opium trade have begun and up to now Oteroa has been trying to convince the Orcs to deny the Opium to the humans, fearing that the Opium, being a product of Ad'ar's effect upon the Lizards would bring evil to the world of Humans.
• Mulghragh, who was requested and has accepted to stay with the Orcs, is reluctantly assisting the other in their attempt to reach an agreement.
• The talks have stopped for the night and a debate is going on between Oteroa and the rest.
