No bodies! Perhaps finding the black diamond shard could save us. Do you know Neb? He is the father of Gwen’s daughter. It was his aura that kept the evil diamond in check. If you could help us, I could provide you with some beano, because you are obviously gassy. At hearing his, Dragonmage smirked and Hiram apologized. A young blonde woman stepped out of a still smoldering hut and stepped up to Dragon Mage and said “We must welcome our visitors, Logan! What are your names?” Dragonmage replied, “I am Breanna and this fumbling lackwit is my traveling companion, nothing more. Oh, his name is Hiram or something. We could use a place to rest for the night. Hiram, quit staring at Gwen’s rack and fetch my satchel. I have some research to do. Gwen escorted the pair to a small and poorly lit hut. There are blankets on the ground and a jug of water. “We don’t have much but you are welcome here.” Gwen stepped to the doorway and said “May the Wolf of Azure Hue bless you. Pleasant Evening.” Upon seeing the sad surroundings, Dragonmage summoned a…

...few items: broom, rag and bucket of water. She made quick work of giving the hut a 'once over'. With that done, she then conjured more comfortable sleeping accoutrements and heated the water with a gesture.~ "Hiram, would you please fetch us a cooking pot and get something started whilst I look through my books for some idea of what this black diamond shard is and what it does? That's a nice dwarfie there!"

~With that settled, DragonMage spoke a word to light the lamp and settled down to read....After a couple of hours and some horrible stew, DragonMage gave up.~ "I find nothing in any of my books! We must go find someone who knows of this! We should find Neb and ask him all he knows of it AND where to find it!"

~After a restful night's sleep. Hiram and Breanna set out to find Neb. Breanna thanks Gwen and presents her with a gift - a lovely figurine of a dragon, plus some coin for her hospitality.~ "Well, let's away, then. I hope we run across Neb soon. I really MUST find that magical tome; however, this, I suppose should come first. 'Banish ye evil where ye may, the book will wait for another day.'"

~And with that, Hiram and the Dragon Mage...

OOC: Neb! Where the heck are you man??? Questions await! Take an opportunity to answer our questions or we will have to 'pretend' we found you.
