Adventure Complete

The two scars battled there way through the massive library. Every room had suprises, some protected by ancient traps, some guarded with vile fiends, some infested with horrid undead. The two scars saw each challenge in turn, overcoming each challenge, and proving victorious time and time again. The company had its share of troubles to be sure, Kharask himself coming out of several battles wearing deep and vicious scars. Through the course of there searching however the Two Scars also uncovered ancient treasure, lore, and magic. The wizard collected librams containing nearly forgotten spells, and the rest of the company collected some rare and powerful magical relics as well. The drow walked away with some powerful, and very ancient magical armor. Kharask came out of the library with a new set of armor as well, he was also carrying a powerful warhammer, and a magical statue that turned into a great arcane cat. The entire troupe benefited from there time in the library, but after what seemed an eternity, the Two Scars made it to the third floor of the library. At this point they were tasked with finding three hidden parts of a single key that would unlock the libraries inner sanctum. The immortal guardian who told them of this task fell to madness and had to be brought down by the company. The Two Scars wasted little time, scouring the floor for all its hidden passages, and collecting the three crescent key pieces. Merric inserted the key, and the company was lead into the main chambers of the library, or the Library as the sages inside referred to it. There were six sages, five of which brought forth the great collapse of ages past by utilizing forbidden magic. Each sage seemed to come out of a small enchanged mirror, there were also three larger enchanted mirrors in the room. These mirrors were said to be the collected knowledge of all the sages within the library. The Two Scars were instructed to use the mirrors to ask questions pertaining to them or the past, and that the sages would guide there visions. It is not known to Kharask what the others saw, but he saw the fall of his people, or more specifically the fall of great Arkhosia. He also saw the possibility to reclaim that lost glory. Perhaps Arkhosia was lost, but out of its ashes a true leader could come forth and rebuild. He learned the location of two powerful artifacts used by the last great king of Arkhosia, with these relics Kharask would have what he needed to inspire his people into a new age, to bring war against Tiamat and her twisted followers. During his vision he also saw of the tieflings treachery, and how the necromancer they had killed so long ago was still trying to manipulate there destiny. The rest of the troupe finished there visions as well, and although reeling from the intensity of what they saw, appeared ready to leave. They were transported to the first sage at the beginning of the library, at this point Kharask shattered the statue of the traitorous tiefling, and the Recorder opened a portal, whisking the Two Scars back to Volniks tower, very close to Carahn Has.
