Chapter 10

Stone of Golorr:"Winterfire! Hey Winterfire! I possess an unfathomable hunger for knowledge and information. You are useless to me. Read a book for crying out loud!"

More Stone of Golorr goodness: "I measure the passage of time in the birth and death of stars. I am eternal. Tell me more about this 'Babysitter's Club' series of novels."


Chapter 12
The Mausoleum 

The Mystics of Trollskull Manor gain entry to the subterranean vault of dragons far beneath the city of Waterdeep.
