Session #24 - A new party forms

We've held two brief no-combat sessions lately to get the story started back up.  What has happened since the party returned to Fort Aralan?

1) Among the Malathil (primative humans living in the Ash Valley) a seer had visions of the return of Trakas Wingsong.  He sent forth a party to investigate.  They found evidence that someone had raided Trakas's tomb, and taken the crown.  Two scouts (the elf seeker Yosh, and a yet-to-be-named shifter warden) journeyed through the teleport sigil to Fort Aralan to find find out what happened to the crown.
2) Perra and party told the authorities in Fort Aralan about what they had found.  They are now aware that the Bahumati threat exists.
3) Nadarr has hidden Merdosh aware somewhere, but not at the island school from which he was kidnapped.
4) Perra is carrying the crown himself, and staying with Gevin and Jhunter in the upstairs room about Sihirbaz's magic shop.
5) Sihirbaz noticed some foriegn looking characters come through the town's portal.  Perra, Gevin, and Jhunter went to greet them.  Yosh recognized them as the party that the Harpy had seen at the tomb.  The party invited Yosh and Yet-to-be-named to meet with them.

So the party is together, I know where everyone is, and I know where the crown is.  Now we can start...

BTW, Nadarr and Sihirbaz awarded 3 items to the party.  They would appear to be in danger as long as they hold the crown, so every bit of help is needed.  This help is in the form of surefoot boots for Gevin, peacemaker's periapt for Perra, and an amulet of protection +2 for Jhunter.  The party also recieved a collection of ritual scrolls.
