+# Dnd Notes 07-09-23
+- Tazlin pulls loose a glowing crystal that then stops glowing, we put it back and it starts glowing again
+- Davric reads the kings journal: Potential Crystal, Memory crystal vault, drums from the deep, he's in love with his general, it ends with "Arrrgghh...." written in blood
+- Neif licks a glowing crystal. He recieves a shock then a memory of Tethlymar from long ago, showing some dwarves in the market. He also sees some sort of training area. Tazlin puts his hand on the crystal and sees sights of the dwarves digging the outer gate. He tries to guide the memory to something about the Shadow of Tethlymar but is unsuccessful. Davrick does something similar and sees the digging of the great hall
+- Dwarves find themselves in a room with a glowing yellow crystal on a pedestal. There are several tables around the room. Based on another memory he sees he surmises this is the Potentia Crystal
+- Neif licks another crystal that shows a battalion of dwarves fighting a huge demon, in the background he can see the city is burning and broken mining equipment. It seems to be the Shadow of Tethlymar. 
+- Tazlin gets a vision of the dwarves getting wiped out and retreating as the lower potion of the city collapses
+- Neif steps on a spider, there is a cry from the distance and a large blue spider emerges. Tazlin recognizes them as some type of Phase Spider. A few of them start to follow us
+- Neif licks another crystal and sees a vision of the Zhentarum. The commander is looking over a map showing the progress of the orc rebellion
+- Neif solved a dwarven puzzle to open a secret door. With the spiders chasing us, Bram dispels the magic on the door so that we can close it. 
+- We head up the path to a chamber full of lava, we don't hear the spiders give chase. We see the Potentia crystal up ahead among the lava. We come up with a plan to send Davric to retrieve it while the rest of us wait in a magic circle guarding against fiends
+- Davric rushes forward and makes it to on the platform with the crystal. He swaps it with a torch so that there remains something glowing in its place. The orcs do eventually notice that the crystal is missing but the hasted Davric has already made it back to the group
+- As the orcs rush into the chamber, Tazlin bravely charges forward to protect his compatriots. Tragically Temptation does not make a jump and falls into the lava. The rest of the party __foolishly__ decides to leave their well fortified and easily defensible position to follow Tazlin (who can take care of himself) while he wrecks the orcs shit
