Demonskar Ball

At the Demonskar Ball the party finally gets to rub elbows with the people running Cauldron.

- At the reception on the deck they get to briefly talk with Lord Vhalantru and a strikingly beautiful lady by the name of Celeste, an out of town noble. They mingle with a few other ball attendees, including the Stormblades.

- At the start of the ball, the party is greeted by the Aslaxins, the Lord Mayor, the high priestess Embril, the high priest Asfelkir, and Alek Tercival. The Lord Mayor makes an attempt at dicussing the future possibility of the Crimson Tears leaving Cauldron for an area more in need, like say Sasserine or such. Embril is polite, but Ferrix believes that this is just a facade, her thin words hiding a dislike for the party or individuals in the party. Asfelkir is gruff and to the point, a bit gruff for some. Alek is happy to finally meet the party, and takes the time to catch up with Ferrix for a bit. Alek stands out in the ball, as he has decided to come dressed not in a costume but in full armor and sword, proudly wearing them with a fine white cloak and giant ruby clasp.

- The Song of Heaven competition is won by Ferrix, who gracefully declines and passes it on to second place, Annah.

- Kozomagon's Folly is held, a dance to remember the disastrous creation of the haunted village and the tragedy surrounding the event.

- The party moves into the dining area where the party is seated at one of many large round tables. They are seated wit:
Dalam, a half orc ex-bodyguard of the Aslaxins.
Weer, the cranky old man who owns the high priced alchemy shop.
Bolar, the gnomish map-maker and friend to Keygan.
Bradly-Dipinshires, two extremely pompous nobles.

- Dinner proves to full of entertainment. An incident occurs where Alek Tercival display an amazing feat of strength, beyond anything even the strongest man is capable of. This is something that Ferrix has not seen before from his childhood friend.

- The clash of the armies dance follows dinner, in turn followed by the Demonskar Dance. Ferrix, or should we say Nabthataron, manages to barely make it through the dance without fumbling it up too badly before he is unmasked.

- The members of the Crimson Tears are presented with the Star of Valour for their assistance to Cauldron in times of need and crisis.
