Tasks and Whereabouts

Our Investigations have uncovered the following information about each Black Ice Gang leader's tasks and possible locations:

Valas "Chaos"

DECEASED

Valas was a cell leader for The Black Ice Gang that was tasked with colleccting ingrediaents for The Chaos Curse. A Magistery party including Jorg, Cassio, Ember, Ci and Jeroy successfully disrupted Valas's harvesting of ingredients, destroying a cache of Rust Monster Saliva, freeing a number of civilians who had been pressed in to service, killing both Valas and his Champion, collapsing the tunnels leading to the docile Rust Monsters, and capturing a Drow Soldier for interrogation (see Game-Summaries:2/16 Recollections).

Chaos Curse ingredients list was discovered in Game-Summaries:9/9 Recollections

Hune "Portals"

DECEASED

Hune was a Warlock, and cell leader of the Black Ice Gang. Hune seems to have been tasked with creating Portals to allow travel (at least) to and from the Underdark. A Magistery Party encountered him on 1/27 (see Game-Summaries:1/27 Recollections) and though he escaped the encounter, they were able to collapse the portal he had opened. A later party was able to predict the location of Hune's next Portal, and set an ambush for him at the suspected location. Though he managed to avoid the ambush set by Tallulah and company at the Hillock, much to their surprise, Hune decided to fight rather than flee. He employed devastating magic, particularly against those whoi inflicted damage against him, and forcibly summoned and bound a Draegloth to fight for him. The party was able to kill Hune, but he expired in a great spurt of hellfire damaging all in the vicinity, and nearly killing Ci outright. The Draegloth released from Hune's control, immediately sued for peace. We recovered a few items from Hune including a Helm of Teleportation, Bracers of Defense and a Staff of Withering which we believe to be an Intelligent weapon.

Kaanyr "Magistery"

DECEASED

Investigating Kaanyr (notes from Rezik)

I started by first trying to just see if there were any patterns in the Magistery. I was worried that we had been compromised, that someone had become a spy in the Magistery, so I was looking for anyone that was out of place. It was more difficult that I anticipated.

I got my lucky break when Reshi, an Adept, took note of me and confided in me that she had found a likely location for most of the cell leaders. She was looking for more information before reporting her findings, but I finally convinced her to confide in me. She agreed in exchange of me swearing to wipe Kaanyr out of existence and report our discoveries and findings back to her first.

It turns out Kaanyr has a hideout in the Temple District. He’s been using clever makeup, as well as magical illusions to hide his true nature and has been posing as a devotee of Corellon. I was don’t we’ll be able to gain access to the temple's barrack-style cleric's bedchambers, but Kaanyr seems to leave the temple around sundown every night with regularity. We’re not sure how long he's been here, but I suspect we could stalk and capture him easily.

Dyrr "Temple District"

Lord Dyrr is Drow Archlich. It appears that Lord Dyrr reports to no one (not Danifae like the others), and so might have some other agenda.

Nimor "Shepherd"

Elyn the drow reported that Nimor shepherds drow from the Underdark to Eomas from a portal "several hundred" miles South West of Solace.

Highest Liandrin told us that an Envoy was sent to The Nightshade Kingdom. The Magistery envoy has returned from The Nightshade Kingdom with good tidings, they have agreed to allow us into their domain in order to investigate and enter the portal to the underdark. This time, we bring the fight to them.

Imphraezl "Assembly and Release"

Creating the Chaos Curse. His location changes based on the ingredients he needs for the curse.

Investigation by Rezik: I've learned of a powerful wizard in an abandoned fortress about 80 miles north east of Solace, that I suspect may be Imphraezl. Some urchins have mentioned being on ferry and carrier jobs for him, and that he pays well and punishes severely for obscure ingredients transported safely. I've heard specific mention of several ingredients that comprise the Chaos Curse, including Rust Monster Saliva, Owlbear Feathers, Mimic's teeth, and Red Dragon Scales.

Danifae

Still in the Underdark. Will be the last one of the dark elves to come to Solace. She's the mistress and leader of the "invasion".

Dakasuta "Base"

DECEASED

Aliisza "Recruitment"

DECEASED

Jez'zara "Recruitment"
