-Falben, Mix, Kaneatsu, and ReCall find themselves been the gate of the destroyed city of Isulla and the restored Autumn Moon, and, after flying over it and alerting the survivors of the demises of the dragons, the heroes spend a week and half helping to rebuild the city, before teleporting to Telleconia witnessing the brutal fate of Dragon Pride. At the Academy of Wizardry, Falben finds the meaning of his map from the Shadowfell: a new world called Jesenreth. He resolves to go there, after helping the other complete their personal goals: Cura has founded his own business in the High Wood, Kaneatsu goes home and has more kids, Mix reunites the two halves of her people, and ReCall travels back to Eberron and defeats the armies of the Lord of Blades, uniting the Warforged race and eventually forging and joint civilization between them and Mix's Tabaxi. Finally, the others taken care of and happy, Falben, with a spelljamming navigator, finds his new world, where he happens upon a small, starving village and saves them by teaching them and others the gospel of capitalism. The new group entrepreneurs is persecuted by their surrounding peoples, however, and eventually he relocates them to the world's moon, Iredol, founding what eventually becomes Syndecol Industries. A happy end? Who knows? An end.

-Near the entrance to Level 2 of the [[Well of Doom]], our heroes face down a [[Yuan Ti]] Abomination named Syet and 3 Yaun-ti malisons. Surprisingly, they are willing to talk, being unhappy with being in the service of the sinister [[aboleth]] master of this place. But as soon as the two parties decide to let the other one go, the aboleth uses his psionic connection to his thralls to destroy their brains, though Syet manages to slit his own throat first, right after warning the PCs not to deal with the aboleth.

 The party returned to the surface, only to find their ship occupied by two adult green dragons and two dragonborn wizards, Ethinclaw the Chaos Tamer and Berrator, who have found on the ship the White Dragon Orb. The wizards demand that the party return to Telleconia with them because Lord Xy would speak with them. Unable to communicate with the dragon teams, Falben decides to consent.
-Under the watch of the wizards, the party sails over [[Alech'nor]] towards Telleconia, resisting as much as they can. Falben and Nara, under the mediation of Kaneatsu, come to an understanding, though suspicions remain. Late one night, 1 1/2 months into the voyage, over central Eddon, Wuhuxl appears in Mix's room, explaining that the Three Cities of the Tabaxi are suffering under a plague wrought by their [[Yuan Ti]] enemies of the southern Endless Jungle. He pleads with her to help him find the spell components (purple worm teeth) needed to complete a ritual to cure the magical plague, and in return he will help them with their draconic occupation. She agrees and alerts the crew.

 The next day, about 3 PM, two enormous rocs attack the dragons, occupying them whilst the party surprises and quickly slaughters the two wizards, with Kaneatsu mercilessly slicing Ethinclaw into 10 pieces. The rest of the party rips Berrator apart, retrieving the White Dragon Orb. Thus begins a battle between the PCs and the rocs vs. the two dragons. The rocs are eventually slain, as is one of the dragons. The last however, despite having his wings webbed by ReCall, manages to drag the ship down and tears a whole in it's bottom, as ReCall and Kaneatsu attempt to knock it away.

 Suddenly, the black Tabaxi sorcerer casts Telekinesis on Mix and floats her over the strange purple fire in the center of the magic circle, making two shocking revelations: the last material component of the ritual to end the magical plague is the life of a blood relative, and Mix can be that relative for him since he is her uncle. As the fire begins to eat Mix, the party battles the sorcerer, who wields mighty magic and is apparently empowered by the magic circle. Finally the party saves Mix, who takes over the chanting of the ritual while Wuhuxl is shoved into the fire. Under the party's attacks and the necrotic effect of the fire, he explodes, leaving ash and few bones, as a shockwave of magical energy shoots out over the Three Cities.
-Among the sorcerer's remains, Mix finds, among other things, the second of the Sacred Scrolls of the Tabaxi, which she had earlier senses was in his possession. It has a ... profound effect upon her. Once she is out of the tree, the party goes back to Atzintli to see if the ritual has worked (if it has, that means Wuhuxl WAS related to Mix...). The first beings they see, however, are the enemy: a platoon of [[Yuan Ti]] warriors. Their people brought the plague, so Falben attacks them with the ship. The warriors scatter, but are torn apart by Atzintli citizens as they come out of their homes, apparently cured, if much the worse for wear.

 The heroes meet the Tabaxi survivors, and Mix is taken away as hero to the ziggurat, where much religious ballyhoo is made over the Chosen One and feast and party in thrown in her and their honor. As the entirety of the Three Cities parties raucously, and Mix's parents are sent for (why are they not here?), Falben goes back to the ship for something, only to find a projected image of Lord Xy in his cabin. Lord Xy drops several juicy bombshells: his motivation for all his deeds is to get "someone I once loved very much", he won't say who, to speak to him, and he'll burn the planet down if that's what it takes, the other dragon orb teams are dead, and Nara is his spy. The illusion disappears.

 Our heroes, traveling from Yerdly to [[Telleconia]], each with his or her own purposes, are near to Quayda when they are stopped near a small farmhouse due to a troubling sight: [[Kobold|kobolds]] menacing a [[human]] family. The party obliterates the kobold raiders, earning the gratitude of the simple farmfolk, who take them to the nearby village of [[Chedlow]], where they are charged by the mayor with hunting down and eliminating the rest of the kobolds, who have been raiding nearby villages for weeks. The party finds their strange lair, obviously not built by kobolds, with the dragon art on all the walls. Slaying most of the kobold warriors, the PCs negotiate with the rest, getting them to leave the underground complex in exchange for the treasure in the deepest room and one of [[Kaneatsu|Kaneatsu's]] swords. The kobolds leave, thinking they have gotten the better of the party, while the party finds much treasure, AND a strange human man in a stone sarcophagus, due to Mix's curiosity. The man, when awakened, seems to have total amnesia. He accompanies the party back to Chedlow, where they are celebrated as heroes and given the rest of their fee. During the party thrown in their honor, the man slips away. The party shrugs: he was an odd one. The discover that the map they found leads to, possibly, an old crypt of a powerful person not far from here. Or maybe it's just more wilderness. Who knows? You will, next Friday at 6!
-'''''ELSEWHERE''': The remnants of the Jagged Tooth clan of kobolds are crossing the mighty [[River Meroshavain]] on three hastily constructed rafts.

 The party flies to the High Wood, to seek [[Adanara the Bronze|Adanara]] and Saber, finding the Wood a burning wasteland. They meet their old friend [[Fernaco]], who has been fighting a guerrilla war with some other fey creatures against the dragons, but they have been losing. With Fernaco the party searches the forest for their friends, finding only 4 young green dragons, whom they eventually slay, only to be trapped by hags in some kind of chaotic creation and tortured for fun. When the party stops being fun, the hags attack, and the party is pressed long and hard, with multiple PCs almost dying. Finally ReCall scares them enough that they make a deal, deciding they want to switch sides, and ally with the PCs. They turn over the suspended bodies of [[Adanara the Bronze|Adanara]] and Saber, and even, to switch sides thoroughly, give the PCs the Green Dragon Orb. They then fade back to the Feywild, as the PCs sail west, knowing that it will take a 9th level Dispel Magic to free their friends, as Fernaco and Starella stay behind to continue fighting for the Wood.
 As the ship sails away, the party is approached by two adult green dragons, whom they manage to talk to, telling them about how Lord Xy is cheating them. This delay brings the dragons to the attention of an ancient red dragon, who flee it, allowing the party to escape. They head west….
