 The uncle helps the party find a caravan heading north out of waterdeep and they manage to get hired on as wagon guards. Logan's pocket is picked by a gnome named Jamna. A few days into the trip, bandits ambush the wagons and she again attempts to pick Logan's pockets but is knocked unconscious in the fight by Logan "accidentally" shooting her in the ass((natural 1 rolled)). They loot her coins, but otherwise keep her alive. They also found a note on her that said "Figure out where the cult is taking the loot." The bandits are driven off and 7 of the caravan guards are dead from the fight. And that's where we ended the session. The uncle helps the party find a caravan heading north out of waterdeep and they manage to get hired on as wagon guards.

 They then went into the large cavern with water and frogs, and then retreated and eventually found a room spouting mist and they found what looks like a teleportation circle in the ground.

 The party left the iceberge and took the dragon skin to Luskan and dropped it off at a master tanner. They then investigated how to get to Stiria, and travelled there. Alethia wild-magic surged and caused a gate to the Abyss to open and in came several Barlgura's and one Balor. The party and Stiria dispatched the demons. Stiria lectured Varatas about why she encased him in ice in the past. She then sent them on their way to their next objective, which was to track down a dwarf named "Varram the White", suspected to be the white dragon mask wearer.  The party left the iceberge and took the dragon skin to Luskan and dropped it off at a master tanner.

-The party ran the tomb successfully. Logan went temporarily insane and shat himself. They fought a tile chimera, Logan was grasped into an Indiana-Jones style boulder of skeletons, to be saved by Varatas. They met a ghost and a giant Greek-looking-God construct. They found their way back into the back of the tomb, finding a Yuan Ti outpost. They defeated many yuan-ti and lizardfolk, as well as using a Bullywug Grenade to cause a yuan ti hatchery, including yuan ti purebloods and a yuan ti abomination to kill themselves. They found the dwarf in the yuan ti temple, and Whelm stirred up a conflict with Lothar as Varatas was negotiating. Whelm didn't want the dwarf to die, and stopped Varatas's negotiations. Epic combat ensued, party wins, but in the combat Varram the dwarf is killed. Party leveled up to 10, long rested, and then Lothar used //Speak with Dead// to speak with Varram. Varatas convinced him he was the legitimate black-dragon-mask wearer, and Varram revealed that the cult had already recovered the lost white dragon mask and it was back in a place called the "Well of Dragons."+The party ran the tomb successfully.
