Everyone gets 1000xp for the planning and plotting (not Tarkin or Scratch)

A recap of what you learned (or theorized) might be helpful for the virtual Windblade.

What you know of the slaying daggers:

The weapon of the deity Dedestroyt was once a great-serrated sword capable of slaying any creature that it wounded.  When Dedestroyt tried to kill Habastly, the deity of life, he swung the sword at the deity.  It failed to slay Habastly and was shattered into ten shards.  Various races around the world found the shards.  Every smithy that found a shard quickly realized the quality of the metal and was compelled to forge a dagger with the shard.  Ten daggers were forged, each with the ability to slay a different race and the daggers compel their wielder to do exactly that.  Legends say that if the daggers were all brought back together, they could be reunited, and Dedestroyt’s sword could be reformed.

The daggers that have been formed since the destruction of the sword are each devoted to the death of one of the following races: human, elf, dwarf, gnome, Gree, halfling, giant, dragon, orc, lizardfolk.  Each dagger is a +4 bane weapon and slays any member of the particular race.  The wielder of a dagger possesses all of the racial traits of the race the dagger is designed to slay, but is not considered to be a member of that race.  For example, the wielder of the elven slaying dagger would gain low-light vision and immunity to sleep-like effects, but would not be considered an elf for purposes of using elf-only magical items.

If all of the daggers were brought together, legend has it that they could be reformed into the original slaying sword.  That sword had the ability to slay any creature that it wounded.  Some bards say that this has been tried many times in the past, but no one has ever been able to collect more than seven of the daggers.  While some of the daggers have been seen and are possessed by an individual or nation, others haven’t been heard of or mentioned in centuries.

Do we know which of the 10 daggers haven't been seen in centuries?  Bardic Knowledge Roll (16) + INT (7) + Bard Level (17) + Bardic Synergy (2) = 42

Dragon has not been seen in a long time.  It was not reported being used during the Great Hunt, which would seem to have been a perfect use for it.

Likewise, Halfling has not been seen in hundreds of years since the end of the reign of the Wooddukes over the forest.

Those are the two that have been not reported the longest.

Cordero says there was a lot of talking, talking with the high cleric of Habastai, Talking with Duton Moutainmagic, Talking with  Thomin of the Oldest Orc.  Blah Blah.
  It boils down to one point.  We think Malchia wants to re-create the sword of dedestroyt.. ( some cackling outside of the room as he says this.. )  Did Razzk really need to recruit his two brothers, one Gnoll was enough!!!
 Anyway, the sword blew up into 10 daggers when is struck the God of Life.  There is a belief that of you place one of the daggers into the basket it would be destroyed, and the sword would be out of reach.   So in theroy he would like the basket cause it is one of the few things that could stop him from re-creating the sword.  A little weak, but it's what we are going off.  Anyway, the basket is being restored, and Harman is probably grounded.
  I forget who had the idea, but they want try to lay a trap for Malchia. So, help has been recruited.

Here are the notes under Gnoll from the "Survival of the Species".  A book, that is a collection of works Yinnite Hona Toha - a travelling cleric that crossed the world to make the word have more babies:

Notes:
[/color]-          Milk Fever[/i] can occur in large litters. Pheromones in the air will cause other females to lactate to assist in feeding.  Some females flee for fear of being used as a milk nurse, others are drawn to it.
-          Milk Fever has been shown to increase fertility and birth rates in packs by significant amounts. Warlords have used it forcefully to breed out large armies.
