Quest Summary:
The party was contacted by a bright pink faerie dragon who informed them that The Boss (whoever that is) needed them to stop a band of powerful gnolls from getting the Tears of Heaven. Back when the humans first arrived on Therafim, the gods sent a great rain of healing waters which cleansed away the damage caused by the wars that wracked Therafim. Some of this water was saved and preserved in a shrine in the Lost Valley of Autumn Land. The party was sent there by the Boss through teleportation to find the Tears before the gnolls did, and take it to the Boss for transportation to a new, safer location. But after beating the gnolls in battle, the party discovered that they were working for someone called the Boss as well, though if they were the same being was left unknown, as the gnoll that the party pumped for information fled before this could be asked. The party was able to ascend to the top of the cliffs, up five-foot steps, to stand before the entrance into the great shrine where the Tears of Heaven were housed…and that is where Part 1 of the quest ended. Stay tuned, true believers!
