Gaping Maw of Sound #29 & #30

• The Gaping Maw of Sound approached the woman outside the burning cave to discover it was not a Genasi at all but a fire elemental, and a battle ensued in which the Maw destroyed the fire elementals that seemed to have found their way to Galdarion Forest from the cave.

• Mr. Smith became engaged in an internal battle and had to give up control of his body to one of his alter egos, Smitty, a woman wish a vicious appetite and no mercy, who set about killing off the fire elementals in dark ways.

  • During this time, Yaen was able to take the lens to the Sword of Tyr and stuff it into their Bag of Holding

• Inside the cave, the group found a portal to the elemental plane of fire and soon discovered Oby's mom, Jenniver, was within. 

  • Syd and Rocky stayed behind while the rest of the group ventured through the portal.

• Within, they found an obsidian castle and carefully made their way to the gates through a lava strewn field of ash and flame.

• Oby was able to open the doors, and the group stealthed their way to a chamber with a large dog of elemental fire, who gave passage to Oby, who distracted it long enough for everyone else to sneak through.

• At the end of the castle hall, they found a fire giant named Trobdyl, who seemed to have Jenniver held captive.

  • Oby decided on diplomacy only to find Jenniver was not being held captive, she was merely resting at the feet of her beloved, Oby's father, Trobdyl.

• A family reunion commenced in which Oby met her father for the first time in her life and learned about her ancestry. She also learned the dog outside the chamber was named Blaze, and was a present for her, bought when he was a puppy.

  • Oby introduced her parents to Ellie the Griffon, who immediately fell in love with her mom, Jenniver.

• After a feast, the group left the plane of fire, promising to return in time, and Oby was given a crystal that would allow her to communicate with her father whenever she wished.

• The group reunited with Syd and Rocky and made their way towards the Kindred Isle to find another piece of the Sword of Tyr.
