We found a husband and wife team of Tyr worshippers, one of them being a child of Baal. They helped us with a few things, and even though some might have wanted them dead to begin with, it did appear that they were not there to kill us. Considering they could basically teleport us, that was good. It meant they could take us to north of Icewind Dale where another Tempus-worshipping Godbound was trying to pick a fight with goddess Auril. He was persuaded to stand down, after a special guest appearance by Tempus himself.
Elani was busy trying to keep a couple of our followers on the straight and narrow, because Gruumsh is making his presence known.
The tourney was going great (well, what remained of the participating Tempus and Gunda Paladins ended up having to be disqualified because they got all murdery with each other), until - with impeccable timing - three children of Baal appeared in the middle of the arena just as the finale was about to go down. They asked what year it was and then disappeared. We're puzzled by this, because as far as we were aware the children of Baal were all dead ... save for the guy we met earlier.

GM: “I even found his character sheet.”
Player: “It’s good to know his stats if he’s going to die.”
Elani (to Denethor): “We could team up! You create the statues - I make them bird-proof.”
GM: “What are you making the ship out of?”
Player: “The blood of our enemies.”
“It could go three, four, five, six times faster.”
“Whatever we could get away with.”
“By the way, I do realise I have created New Eberron.”
Elani: “I can use my Beast Word to make everyone have a parrot on their shoulder. NOW we’re talking!”
“Armour changes? Is he wearing Chaos Armour?”
Player: “Is he lying?”
GM: “You cannot read him.”
Player: “Isn’t that sufficient reason to kill him?”
NPC: “I’m also against the undead, being a paladin and all.”
Gunda: “Paladin fist bump.” (fist-bumps GM)
“It’s amazing what a hundred years can’t cure.”
“This taking over power, does that require a spell or some sort of ritual, or does it just happen?”
“Asking for a friend?”
Elani: “They might look like bear mittens, but … yeah, they ARE bear mittens.”
Denethor: “Not all wizards are mad.”
Elani: “Tell me one that isn’t.”
Denethor (desperately): “… I don’t have to give you an example!”
Denethor: “I’m a servant of Oghma and have the knowledge of what is best.”
Auril: “Urghh, you SOUND like a servant of Oghma as well.” (suddenly loses interest and walks away)
Denethor: “It’s not lava, it’s living fire.”
NPC: “Oooookay, that doesn’t make it less scary.”
