And of course, before we start, a quick refresher. The party headed to the capital city of Dol Haran, after being away for nearly an entire year. On their way, they encountered a strange fissure breaking through the earth and exposing burning lava beneath the ground. Not only that, but the fissures seemed to release several large monstrous creatures into the land that attacked the group. After nearly falling prey to the monster's fearsome jaws, the group finally made it to the capital, where they had gained a somewhat celebrity status. While there, they discovered some things to have changed and some things had stayed the same. After reuniting with Vance, who went by another name when the group first met him, they party met with Kellam Danah, second son of the Royal Family and professor at the Lyceum. Together they discussed their findings in the Feywild, as well as potential locations for more Shrines. The party now finds themselves taking comfort in an inn, waiting to meet with the King Faram Danah himself.

MEETING THE ENCHANTER The group travelled to the wealthier district of Dol Haran and discovered an Enchanter, one who specializes in imbuing weapons and armor with magical properties. The enchanter in question, an ornately dressed Dwarven man named Zephram, offered his enchanting services at a very high price. Rhogar, ever the clever Dragonborn, attempted to trade his Immortal Goldfish, an item picked up some time ago, for discounted enchantments. The goldfish, named Samwise, was by all accounts a normal, living goldfish. What made his special was that he seemed to be swimming in a jar filled with nothing but air. Samwise didn't eat or sleep, but seemed to swim around as a normal fish in spite of that. Rhogar realized Zephram's penchant for experimentation, and offered a once-in-a-lifetime deal: he would give Zephram the fish to study, and in return, Zephram would enchant several of the party's items for free. After much deliberation, and a combined deceptive effort from the rest of the party, Zephram agreed to enchant one item and offer a discount on all subsequent enchantings. Rhogar agreed to the terms and received an newly-enchanted wand along with signed proof of their future discounts. Spent from their day shopping, the party headed back to the Pot and Quill inn, where they rested for the night.
