Sher Baig

Our heroes, having chosen a few items from the vault of Aurmax' Tower, use the magic carpet found therein to fly to The Castle of The Canyon Guardian to find help to heal Elrond's condition.

Without incident, the group makes their way to the Temple of Visaria in the castle and Elrond is healed.  They decide to stay at the castle to begin further research on releasing Manitowoc from his predicament as well as finding means to improve their equipment.

They return to the inn to collect the things the left behind during their kidnapping to find the Fivtorian that led his folk in the plot.  Aisha, having been dominated by him, immediately attacks, but is temporarily subdued by the villain.

During the conversation while Aisha is under control, the Fivtorian introduces himself as Sher Baig.  He desires to speak with the thief that stole his dagger decades ago, but of course Manitowoc now resides within it.

During the discussion, Char demands to know why the Fivtorina participated in their kidnapping.  He states that it was only business with the Drow involved and it was nothing personal.  This vexes Char who continues to press the issue as Aisha breaks free of Sher Baig's control.

Aisha destroys the table between herself and the Fivtorian before she is hypnotized by Hurley and drawn away to the bar.  At this point, Sher Baig implies he has knowledge of how to free Manitowoc.  However, annoyed himself with Aisha and Char's belligerence, he teleports away without answering any further questions.

Researchers hired at The Castle, our heroes return to Rebelton and Aurmax's Tower to do research of their own and also continue to investigate Aurmax's disappearence.
