Recollections by Jeroy

I have very little time before so I will be brief and to the point. We searched for the maze engine but found so much more.

We began asking Tel for help in where we could find the Maze Engine. He provided us a tome of great insight, after reading it I find that I feel somehow smarter, about all things (+2 INT), he called it the awakened mind. After reading through Zanna and I proceeded to our Mater's Trial which we both passed. During that trial I learned that our artifact is a tether in a way to the Maze Engine and while in contact with the Artifact I could identify a point in space within my mind that would bring us to the true Maze Engine. It was in the Northdark and so we made out way there. We passed through terrible places but eventually found out way to Menzoberan which is now just a husk of it's former self. All that remains of the city is Lord Dyrr's tower, shrouded in a protective spell. We were able to enter as I had Lord Dyrr's Phylactery on my person. He wasn't around and we thought better of touching any of his things. We rested and left. As soon as we left we were ambushed by a wizard who thought we were Lord Dyrr in disguise. I charged at him with all my might and landed a mighty blow but in my haste I ran through a flash of brilliant light, I know now that I died. The other members of the EO and Oran (a new friend from the conventicle) defeated the wizard, who we learned from Gromph.

Lord Dyrr raised me and now I owe him my life.

We continued on towards the point in my mind, we eventually reach it to find a lava pit with a battle of dwarves versus demons lead by Baphomot. We bring all of our power to bear including summoning the warriors of Valhalla from my horn to defeat the demon horde. After the battle the maze engine began to whirl and activate producing a mechanical looking creature called a Modron. Soon hundreds and thousands appeared. We attempted to speak with one and it had realized I had been in contact with an object they seek, the Wand of Orcus. They seek to destroy the wand and needed to know where it is. We told them Folcom Keep and they went on their way. We returned to the Magistery where a council of Masters determined that they will align themselves with the 181,500,000 modrons that have marched into out plane to seek out and destroy the Wand.
