There are no more surprises and the giants have a wedding, with the feast to follow, including spiced white dragon meat, among others.
Alzar has the third rod.
Now it appears he needs to secure a new glyph for each rod piece. The glyphs that enable them to get closed together are different for each set. So Alzar needs to find instructions for another glyph, make it, and then he can hunt for the 4th section of the Rod of Seven Parts. In the meantime, he has connected the three parts.
(In the actual adventure, you have evil cloud giants connecting their family to Siiri’s daughter, and bringing fire and cloud giants together. The dragons are a pair of silver dragons, chasing their child, and they slay the only non-evil people invited to the party to infiltrate it. Why do that instead of taking out evil invitees? I increased the party and guest list considerably, and then gave a peaceful resolution. In the major line, you are probably going to kill the evil giants.)
Rod – 3 pieces together, resonant:
Fly at will when holding the rod
Influence creatures from Elemental Plane of Air – they won’t approach, and get +2 saes vs them
20% Magic Resistance
Activate to get Cure Light Wounds/Slow/Haste
After finishing the Alzar has tried and failed to detect the location of the next piece.
One of the local elves visiting the wedding comes over to him and shifts to his real form . This is Arquestan, a lawful good Wind Duke of Aaqa He is one of the youngest of his kind, still locks in over 1200 years old. He’s the one sending the Hounds of Law, and letting the ghost Draconus know about the Rod and Alzar’s role.
Law has chosen Alzar as its champion. The Wind Duke tells Alzar more about the Rod and himself and the role to come. The two demon lords, the Wolf Spider who is imprisoned on Pandemonium and the Queen of Chaos who control an entire layer of The Abyss.
Arquestan won’t join Alzar, or anything, but he will provide the right push here and there to help Alzar find the next piece, right after he secures a glyph. The glyphs aren’t hard to figure out or make. He heads away after the conversation
Alzar is going to start using the Rod, he wants to call attention to certain forces later.
End of Rod of Seven Parts for Now
