1357 DR Eleint 19 - The salamanders attack Thay yet again. However, the Red Wizards had learned where they would attack next, so they were prepared against the supposed to be surprise attack. Red Wizard Cecil hired adventurers and sellswords to help the Laprendar legion to defend the large town south of lake Umber in western Thay. The legion was prepared for an attack from the south, but it appeared the salamanders yet again strike from below and through portals. The hired group went below the town, to the burrows, where they found a fiery portal, which they managed to seal for the timebeing - until the Red Wizards destroy it completely. The group that answered Red Wizard Cecil's call to arms at Nethjet were Apprentice Atara Sethrakt, Codi, Cullen Mard Jorino, Kallie Palmstriker, Max Glorificus, Phoenix, Shara Meynolt and Walwen.
1357 DR Marpenoth 11 - Master Sergeant Ayloud of the Alaor Legion gathered a group of adventurers after hearing about a rise in temperature emanating out of the Heart of the Isle. The group fought through numerous salamanders that seemed to have overtaken the volcano. Entering the lower floor they were met with a wave of salamanders attacking the remaining residents, and it was revealed that a portal was created within to send salamander reinforcements into the mainland. The group was able to defeat the reinforcements and close the portal. While salamanders (and other fiery creatures) will still call the volcano home the portal's removal ensures much less casualties in the long run during the war. The adventurers that assisted Master Sergeant Ayloud were: Apprentice Atara Sethrakt, Codi, Red Wizard Itheszil, Daeron Markos Mediocros, Shara Meynolt, and Tyrone Tradewinds.
