Cassie nodded, "Aye I trained there for two years before setting out to bring Shoni's love to the world.  I haven't been back in a few years, but I can't imagine it's changed much.  Master Thinharakad, or Kad, as he goes by, was the master of the monks while I was there, and had been since the founding of Dragon's Roost in 948 YK.  But apparently the story of the Roost goes back further than that year.  Apparently it was originaly a monastic temple, but during the war a contingent of Thrannish troops took control of it, along with Cannith artificers they conducted some sort of experiments there.  The rest of the history isn't too clear, but apparently a group of Shoni worshipers freed the monks and liberated the temple from the Thranish troops.  The rumor is that a great and powerful dragon assisted them, and that the priestesses of Shoni decided to settle there and the monestary was turned into a temple as the monks and priests and priestesses worked together to create a haven from the war."<br/><br/>Cassie, armored in her green breast plate and samite white robe shifted, "I don't know how much of that is true or useful that information is, but it coencides with the falling of the Great Sharn temple in the same year to followers of Ah'mie.  As for who the VIP could be, it might be anyone.  There were a few powerful dignitaries that were at the Roost from time to time.  Notibly a half elven woman with coal hair named "Note."  Note was the high priestess of the recovered temple of Shoni in Sharn.  So, maybe her?"<br/><br/>Cassie shrugged and Stoella asked, "But if that was the case, why the need for secrecy?"<br/><br/>Cassie shrugged again, "I'm sorry, I just don't know."<br/><br/>Marek sighed and seemed to stalk to the room behind everyone else.  Doxi, frustrated at his pacing asked what he was upset about and in a rare show of verbosity he answered quickly, "Something feels wrong captain.  With your permission I'll return to the crows nest to take watch?"<br/><br/>Doxi nodded and the half orc left, his spine straight as an iron rod.  Janmorel spoke up, "Well it should only take us a few hours to get to Dragon's Roost captain, it's in the same mountain range as Blackpeak.  I'd suggest standard cruising speed.  That will let Zephyr conserve her energy and get us there around dinner time?"<br/><br/>Stoella nodded but had nothing else to add.<br/><br/>Gondrtih, for her part dressed in her full plate seemed perfectly comfortable, but had little to say.  If she had a problem with air ships, she didn't seem to be displaying it.
