the Lich, the book, & the dagger

The book is too difficult for Beldor to read. He finds that the book cannot leave this grove with out the proper spell "know the path" which he doesn't know how to cast yet. They agree to leave the grove and come back when they are ready.<br>
They come face to face with an apparition of the lich Ellious. He tells Melvin that he would like for him to kill him with a particular dagger when the time is right. Ellious gives him the blade. The group uses the summoned Wyvrens to get go to the city of Nester.<br>

An email from Jon reads

Basically:

Sal, John, and I worked out our bad patch (we be friends).

The dagger is gaesed upon me until Lich is dead.  Even John consulted his high cleric for a remedy.  But, I can tuck it away and not obsess about it.

I got mugged, alone, and walked away with their haul. Haha.  So, we made some phat lootz.  Plus we sold up our booty.  From that, I learned the cursed dagger absorbs life and gives it to me when I kill with it.  Didn't particularly like that, but that's how we learn.

Sal won a keep or small castle.  But I threw a housewarming party and it got trashed by peasants!

We bought 2 custom made caravans.  They will be done in 6 weeks (I think 6 weeks).  So we gonna stay in this city for a bit and do local adventuring.

We donated to John's church to learn about our legacy items.  I had to kill 2 ettercaps with John for our weapons.  Next we gotta go to a mountain peak for both dwarfs...which is where we left off.  After that, we help Sal for his dagger.

Jimi, u had time to extract ettercap poison if you wanted too.

Anything else?
