"Ragnarok": A call for information!

Demons are known to be combative and mistrusting of one another.

I would not suggest treating with one demon over another, but if Surtur feels insulted or threatened by the presence of a Lord Ice Demon, perhaps near his domain, it may cause Balfurous to expend resources at least in quieting the Fire-Lord , affording us some relief.

It is said that Surtur is hungry for magic and so may follow a "trail of breadcrumbs" if you will.

I apologize if any of this seems outlandish, but it would not be the most outrageous leap of logic I have seen done in Travance to be sure.

It is heartening to see that members of Travance wish to find alternative means to this abomination BloodTide. In matters concerning Ragnarok I think we may have to be careful with how many people we bring to retrieve the weapon. So far I have compiled a list with Goggins and we are up to a dozen? Feel free to correct me if I am wrong, Goggins.

I had heard rumor of another sword that resides inside Honors Peak. In retrieving it, we could kill two birds with one stone. Perhaps we could get some of the Fire Giant Lords essence..or whatever it is we might need for him, and retrieve the sword. It is said to be a Divine Sword with the same properties as Blood Tide. I suggest another group be formed to retrieve, or attempt to retrieve, that sword while the other party goes for Ragnarok.

Father Belfast:

It is none that Bloodtide will work. Two people, Philidin and Belegchand, have simply touched the blade and have wounds that would not stop bleeding. If not for the intervention of the Visraki to save Philidin and Palinthorn to save Belegchand those two would have died.

This weapon was originally forged by the ancient evils of this world for Belloc to fight Nimfear. It was made by dragon slayers to fight a half dragon. There is no reason to be uncertain, it will work.

Ragnarok is still needed, and I will lend my aid to the expedition.

Sir McKraegar,

I thank you for your assistance and welcome it gladly.

The fact of the matter is that if Bloodtide delivered it's fatal wound to a non-demon, then that likely means that we were not successful in properly attuning it to our enemy.

Its original purpose was to slay dragons, and during its reforging process it was supposed to have been "retrained" to cause its wounds to demon-kind. Yet here we have two examples of it not destroying the lives of demons but of two elves.

Since this weapon has never been weilded by mortals, we have no proof positive way of knowing of its effectiveness. What evidence I can gather does not bode well. Which is why I have been so adamant in my opposition, as well as brash in my demands for further action.

I trust this makes sense to you.

If I can be of any help in this mission, I offer my services.

I also suggest bringing at least one Master Psion on this mission. I would suggest asking Silas Krone for his multitude of abilities, or my student Raxas.

Alana also would be a good candidate due to her ability to travel the elemental planes.

NONE OF YOU EVEN KNOW FOR SURE THAT RAGNOROK EXISTS (ALSO THE LEGENDS DO NOT CLAIM IT IS FROM THE NORTH) I SUGGEST YOU RETHINK YOUR STRATEGY BEFORE YOU GO TRAPSING OFF IN THE WRONG DIRECTION TO FIND AN ARTIFACT OF CHILDS TALES

BLOODTIDE WILL WORK... EVEN BROTHER HIMSELF (A HALFDRAGON) WAS SUFFERING FROM ITS DARK POWER AS HE FOUGHT WITH THE BLADE GRIPPED IN HIS HAND... THOUGH WE BEAR THE BLOOD OF THE ONE IT WAS CRAFTED FOR AND COULD GUARANTEE ITS EFFECTIVENESS IN OUR HAND WE HAVE BEEN FORBIDDEN FROM TOUCHING IT...

ITS PURPOSE WAS NOT TO SLAY DRAGONS... ITS PURPOSE WAS TO SLAY THE WIELDERS BROTHER NIMFEAR AND AS SUCH IT NEEDED TO TASTE THE BLOOD OF THE HERITAGE IT NOW SEEKS TO DESTROY BY THE HAND OF ONE OF THAT HERITAGE

THE INSTRUCTION WAS FOR THE FATAL WOUND TO BE DELIVERED TO A DESCENDANT OF BAALFUROUS (BY A DESCENDANT OF BAALFUROUS) AS THE FIRST STRIKE AFTER ITS REFORGING... AS NEITHER SER PHILADIN OR BELEGCHAND WERE KILLED (BESIDED THE FACT THAT THEY WERE INJURED BY IT BEFORE IT WAS REFORGED) THE FIRST STRIKE SINCE ITS REFORGING WAS A WOUND THAT WILL PROVE FATAL TO THE DARKWOOD DEMON IF IT HAS NOT ALREADY
