This huge water elemental rises up from the shallow depths, water spreading throughout the room. With their movement impeded, the party braces themselves against the oncoming torrent. Barnaby wades in and slashes out at the creature. His blade finds purchase, but it’s difficult to get a bead on what’s water and what’s elemental ‘flesh’. Normally, …
Krask crawls through the foundational crack and investigates the outside of the Cistern. The damage is relatively hidden, up against the cliff-face on the backside of the structure. It’s off the beaten path, meaning that it’s not outlandish that people wouldn’t have noticed it unless they went looking. It is decided to leave Urcai with …
Confronted by a gargantuan purple worm, the party braces themselves for a fight. Two smaller worms burst from the walls behind them, sealing off any escape route. Krask starts off by firing a barrage of arrows at the most imposing threat, striking true on all of them. Fyn casts Haste, allowing Barnaby the opportunity to …
The party gains access to the cistern after flashing the key from Ozekai. Despite the lock’s age, the mechanisms work beautifully, granting access to the rooms beyond. The door gives way to a long room flanked by numerous alcoves extending out in a radial pattern. Each opening houses a vertical stone sarcophagus, which are all …
With the city of Mihlaj at their eager fingertips, the party decides to head up to the palace with Zohadisha. Given the circumstances, it’s important to provide water to the people that haven’t evacuated the city yet. Especially if the Palms of Charity are charging for a basic need. Zohadisha coordinates the efforts to gather …
The three Driftworms charge down the cliff towards the lagging wagon. Undaunted, Fobias squares off against them, establishing the front-line against the assault. Krasks continues to hunker behind the edge of the caravan, lobbing arrows at the gnolls with unrivaled precision. Richard climbs up onto the cliff to get in the face of the apparent …
Eriza Piatzo instructs her attendants to load up the horses and prepare them for the journey to Mihlaj. One of the members of the Fading Council will accompany them as well: Zohadisha. The party heads to the crowded bazaar to stock up on some supplies. Overcrowding is in full effect and it’s clear that Sedeq …
Safe and sound in Barnaby’s Magnimarian townhouse, the party can finally relax. It’s been a harrowing journey to this point. From the sleepy town of Sandpoint, to the rocky foothills of Jorgenfist, to the time-trapped halls of the Runeforge, the party has experienced it all. Barnaby’s housekeeper greets them. In his absence, the mail pile …
The statue of Karzoug leaps from its pedestal towards the party. Fyn quickly hastens his allies, giving them a noticeable edge. However, the statue let’s out a magical pulse as it advances. The pulse ripples with stone fragments, nullifying the Haste of Barnaby and Fyn. Barnaby picks up his newly-forged weapon, ducks under the statue’s …
Eryalla rushes to employ the aid of the enslaved Stone Giants. As the reinforcements come barreling down the hall, the party quickly tries to mop up the remaining alu-demons. Fyn’s summoned monster, Penelope, burrows underground to reposition herself. She ends up blocking the undulating passage, which ends up being a huge tactical advantage. The stone …
