Talk with him? Did you notice he was locked in a magic circle!

Te'Wig and Mutt talked with the "spirit" and found out that he was in fact a spirit of the nearby mountain. He was bound into the circle by a mystery man with a large scar on his left hand. The man was very old, and upon the description Mutt is pretty sure he saw the described man fleeing from the attack of the blacksmith shop, with a large pack over his shoulder. At the time it didn't seem like much, but Mutt realized he had never seen the man before! And spending most of his days sitting by the front door of the Silver Sliver, means Mutt knows EVERYONE! Glyphon (the spirit) informs the group that he is the protector of the mountain and that a large stone with great magical properties was stolen from the mountain. This stone was the only thing keeping the Volcano from erupting and taking out Grifdale! Glyphon guesses that you have about 3 days until the volcano goes up. He noted that he can attempt to slow down the rising Volcano, but he must be freed from the bindings of the circle.

Kirin and Te'Wig study the circle for quite a while and after Te'Wig manages to botch it up a few times, Kirin sends him away so he can focus on what he likes to call "real magic". Kirin does his best to battle the circles castings and after only a small explosion ( which everyone managed to slip away from! ) Kirin brings down the magic circle and Glyphon rushes out in a blur heading straight for the mountain you know know as Mt. Ignis ( the mountain of fire ).

Upon the destruction of the circle, Te'Wig manages to salvage what he can of the silver dust that was embedded in the circle. There isn't much, but it might be enough to make a device to track back to the owner of the dust! And with that Te'Wig and company head back to Grifdale!

While the rest of the group heads to the Silver Sliver for a hot meal and drink, Te'Wig heads down to his lab to work....After a bit of tinkering and a couple of bad tries, he manages to take an old ships compass and turn it into a tracking device. The needle spins sharp and points directly east! Towards the new town developments and the forest beyond!
