Chasing the Emerald Claw: Difference between revisions

Inside were details on Eliam's expedition to the isle of [[Trebaz Sinara]], where he believed the [[Sarlonan]] explorer [[Jheamhast]]'s tomb was. Eliam recruited fifteen of the best adventurers and mercenaries he could and they set out. Eliam had chartered an airship, but it was brought down inland on the island by a fierce storm, killing the crew and half his expedition force. By the time Eliam had found the tomb, only he and an artificer, [[Thraxis]] who Eliam described as "twitchy and cantankerous", remained. Trying to enter the tomb proved to be impossible, as it was blocked by a stone column with numerous runes and symbols resembling [[dragonmark]]s inscribed upon it. Thraxis, only being able to interpret some of these, copied them down in the hope of returning to civilization to decipher the rest. Unable to get past this column, Eliam and Thraxis made their escape to the shore of the island, which Eliam charted carefully in his journal. In the last entry, which seems to have been written some years after Eliam's time on the island, Eliam laments how Thraxis managed to obtain this journal and removed many pages, mostly those pertaining to the runes and dragonmarks. As such, the party seemed to the path to the tomb, but no way to get past the stone column at the entrance.
