INTRODUCTION

As residents of the north, the Heroes of the Godswar are already well aware that things are terribly wrong.  Talk of in-fighting within the Lord's Alliance, has been drown out by daily concerns over food and refugees have begun to press against the walls of Silvery- moon and Waterdeep having already overrun Neverwinter.  Food riots have been on the rise inland as imports from the Moonshaes and the South are absorbed by Waterdeep.

A recent wave of unexplained illnesses has further taxed the priesthoods, given that many of the poorest are already dependant on them for daily food handouts.  Although not in great numbers thus far, sages are greatly concerned by the frequent failures of magical cures.  Last week there were many families preparing to migrate south them- selves until word came that many southern cities are facing similar circumstances.

The Uthgar are assembling in greater number than many thought existed, as they are forced southward by the relentless creep of mountainous glaciers. By all accounts, Ten Towns is completely lost, but Luskan seems to have been passed by, some reports say it is visible from the highest towers of Mirabar.  Also, what had been rumours of frost giants moving south, has become almost daily confirmed sightings by scouting parties and refugees alike. Speculation that the Uthgar and giants are in league is thus far
unfounded.

Last night...the latest of compounding problems...a nightmare in a foreign land to your waking mind...at home to your slumbering one...but so realistic as to feel premonitory and although you never see her, you cannot shake the feeling that you were there with Midnight.

THE ADVENTURE

The five heroes, having all had prescient dreams, gathered together in Silverymoon to share their stories.  It was quickly determined that the Vilhon Reach was their destination and that they were being compelled by Mystra to go on this quest.  The Staff of Midnight, being charged with Mystra’s divine energy, seemed to confirm this.  They spent time in the great library of Silverymoon to learn what they could about the area and purchase a map. 

They determined that they would head to Jathran's Jump first as this seems to be the most understood of the clues.  They transported themselves through Ajeroth's mirror to the Deck of Mystra's Gift, The Grey Mousers flying ship and completed the journey to Ilighôn, and from there to Jathran's Jump.  They found this town to be a haven for thieves and smugglers and Mouser (and FLynn) quickly put their skills to work trying to make contacts and find out just what we were supposed to do here.  Mystra's instructions were not very clear.

In the center of town there was an ancient ruined temple that the townspeople feared.  The group Rogues quickly made contact with the rival smuggler leaders Shadrik and Vinculus. And through negotiations with one of them, the heroes were allowed access to the tunnels beneath the town. 

Exploring the ancient tunnels, they had a few exciting encounters such as encountering a ghostly mage who had an important book with clues to the story of the seeds of Silvanus.  He was battled and defeated but not destroyed.  We took his book.  Ajeroth used the mysterious powers of the Staff of Midnight to allow the group to explore the tunnels and rooms through the Ether. They were able to determine that the uncorruptable seed was in one of the rooms they had explored, in a font of unholy water.  They rescued the seed and confronted the guardian statues who were destroyed.  They had treasure in them, but also a terribly cursed item which struck down and killed Fafhrd.  The team teleported to escape back to T'ycel's grove to heal Fafhd and destroy the cursed objects.

The ghost mage's book told the story of the seeds of Silvanus, powerful items created through the power of Silvanus and Mystra.  The cult of Talos stole the seeds and corrupted all but one of them so that their power would serve their dark master.
