What Happened:

Headed to Throat of the Dragon via Airship
Two teams of 3 a peace- 6d6
1 team is dragons, 1 team is airships.
Played some Airships and Dragons- came out ahead.
Everyone is partying.
Electric loots are back.
4’s, 6’s, an 9’s seem to be behaving
Jasper spotted secret handshakes. Cat people and a gnome.
Jasper talked to the gnome.
Herody passed out.
Me and my friends were looking to fly to the dragon’s throat.
We have contacts there…
300 years? Welcome back!
What would it take to gain your confidence and introduce me to your business associates?
Challenge!
Acquire 3 precious items off of celebrants in this room- if you get caught, I have no idea what happened.
Jasper robbed herody…
Pipes and herbs stolen.
Strange lizard like creature- slamming drinks at the bar
Took a couple of tries but succeeded.
Jasper spotted a human in disguise.
Jasper pulled a gun out of his pocket.

Keep that on the down low
Jasper pulled the 6 bullets out of the gun.
I will put you in the list of people that I do not want to kill
Write you a sealed letter- find me some parchment, some ink, and a pen.
Wrote a letter and sealed it.
His name is Ma leek

Jasper went back to give the potion back to the lizard
Jasper has the pipe and herb
Tae carried Herody upstairs.
We all called it a night.
Weird dreams.

Tasty breakfast downstairs – meats, pastries, eggs, fresh fruit, coffee, and more ale.
Pitcher or liquor with fruit soaking in it while we eat.
Waitress said the airships will be up today- gnomes are happy to be back to work.
Order of the Red Dawn guards were getting restless and belligerent at night- glad they are going to be moving on.
Tickets for the first voyage back- goods to move and things like that.
Passage will be a hot commodity.

Raven went to get the tickets with Tae and Jasper.
Rest of us stayed back and played some airships and dragons.

They went to see a cat person.
Five people – tickets – 50 gold each or 250 gold total.
Five tickets/papers
What time does the ship leave?
On the ship by noon- ship will leave by 2PM

We all made it to the platform, and they are taking tickets.
Order of the Red Dawn – holding out a green amulet. Insisting that each person touch it before getting on the boat.

Tae touched the amulet and his number changed to 15.
Jasper tried to sneak by invisible.
Guard’s eyes glowed.

Argued with the guard.
Low number of jovial gnome crew.
In about 3 days travel.
Galley is downstairs- dining area.
Feed you and lots and lots of drinking- included in the ticket. 
Indulge within reason- we will gently cut you off if you are over served.
If drunk, keep away from the edges. No parachutes or safety nets.
The electric lute quartet is heading back- they are entitled to some recreation.
We did hire a local bard to come on the trip- storyteller and jokester. Some comedy, funny songs, good time.
Gnome Bowling – set up a small bowling alley. Cast a bet on how well the gnome will bowl himself down the deck and into the pins.
Bard – Jeffrey – of the Foxworthy estate.
Ship – the orchid. Named after my wife’s favorite flower.
I had this ship built about 20 years ago- retrofit to the latest and greatest standards.
Ofreious winfried- you can call me Winny.
With inclement weather- assign passengers to the lower decks.
Various airmen working on stations- cannons on the top deck. Second level with captain’s cockpit area for steering the ship. Back exit down into the engine room. 
Next level – gallery and sleeping accommodations. Then storage.

Jasper is looking at our fellow passengers.
Many of the shifty types- somehow involved with the business exchanges that go on there- a couple of more regal, well to do, upscale passengers. A few merchants and then some common folks. Two dragonkin.

No red dawn on the boat- just the gnomes.

Tae – lowest level- cage door is ship storage. Lots of chests and storage crates. Wooden crates- painted or stamped- logos of merchants and traders and such.

Headed to the bar- buffet style of beverage assortment- all along the bar.

Jasper went up to the bartender- I need a drink that makes me look like I’m drinking but I’m not drinking.
Nectar of the temple of Shirley…
Jasper spent the night pretending to get drunk.
Jasper went around and pumped the crowd for info.
Jasper’s bluff didn’t go too well…

Back to the bartender- here’s your mug light- He downed 2.
Wasn’t convincing the crowd he was drunk but did interact with them well.

Jasper flew over and cut into the dragonkin dancing- he flew danced with her.
Elijah Forestflight
Temple of Minus
Fellow believer
Chaos is eternal.
Jasper is not a fan of Azrael
All of the old gods were once new gods
Victory over the cataclysm.
Grandpa said- Azrael stopped it from continuing. Managed to send the Great World Eater- made it sleep- it fell into the portal and oblivion.
No information how the monster got here in the first place- someone who knows how to deal with it shows up a week into the rampage.
Jasper- do you think he called it here?
What do you do for fun in Throat of the Dragon- culture- temples, libraries, museums- scavenged from the old world.
One of the most famous collections of Old-World artifacts.

Jasper invited her to the bar to drink something heavier.
What changed? I want to have fun now…
Would you mind if my husband joined us? That’s the best kind of fun…
They head off into the lower decks for a romp.

After a couple of drinks Raven asks- wanna go check out gnome bowling? Sure…
Top deck- hear a crash- gnome and all of the pins, a strike.
Raven placed a bet.
Single competition.
2 rounds.

Now, competing bowlers.
Triple money.
+30 platinum
+60 platinum

Been in the air about 8 hours.
Paused bowling for the fireworks display.
Cat got plenty of treats and attention at the party.
