As the ghouls begin to approach Sariel and Seebo from their revealed hiding place, the party begins to swap out members that are able to traverse the copper hallway.  It doesn’t take much for ghoul threat to be overcome with really only the psyche, and perhaps the dignity, of Seebo retreat taking a hit.  Several members of the party attempt to find some sort of deactivation switch in the room formerly occupied by the ghouls.  Finding nothing, and after some brainstorming, the party figures out that they can move their metallic belongings on Dennis’ floating disc to bypass the effects…

The moment the door opens, a bolt impacts Groz in the shoulder while Lucius is hit with a blast of magical fire from within the room.  Inside the room the armour male and female mage await for the party’s next move.  Cleaning the large door frame it does not take long for party members to spill in for close quarter combat.  The armoured male falls before he can get a second shot off from his crossbow.  Enraged, the body of the female mage grows and distorts as she takes on her true werewolf form.  Not fearing the beast the party…

The Frostskimmr pulls into anchorage at the docks along the Dragon’s Breath under a flag of protection by the Ship Baram.  They are met at the dock by two mages, dressed in robes similarly cut to those of Zelenn the White but less refined and one colored brown and the other green and a pair of carriages.  The drivers of the carriages look like common townsfolk, but they bear black arm bands with a white stitching pattern.  Their path through Luskan takes them through the slums to the center of the South Bank, past the homes of High Captains Suljack…

After a night’s rest, the party is awoken by Mccath.  She has debated herself throughout the night and come to a new conclusion.  If the party is successful in driving off or killing Arauthator then there will be nothing left for her to do here at Oyaviggaton.  She has decided that she will travel back to Luskan with her work, knowledge, and the stolen tomes from the Brotherhood that Arauthator has stored here in her working library.  Additionally she mentions that she would like the party to meet her friend Marfulb, the leader of the Ice Toads.  She explains that…

Not seeing a way to back down, Belgwyn Bravefoot steps up to the task of 1-on-1 combat with the village’s champion.  Hesitant about the potential loss of their metal weapons, including her coveted dragon slayer sword, Belgwyn’s thought trail to her last solo fight against Rhogar.  Quickly squelching the rising doubt, she reminds herself that the fight with Rhogar was completely unmatched.  If she could last that long against the likes of him this would be a piece of cake.  Emblazened with this resolution and the swelling of her rage, Belgwyn muscles her way through the fight.  Even with a…

With their willing prisoner in tow, Tobin’s Revenge strikes out across the High Moor on their way to Waterdeep.  Crossing the southwest border they find themselves on the road somewhere between Boareskyr Bridge and Dragonspear Castle.  They turn northward to connect with the Trade Way.  While their travels across the moor were fairly uneventful, the more well travelled roads prove slightly more hindering.  First delayed for five days while they help gather supplies to fix a wagon that was damaged while helping pull Oogway out of a muddy mess.  Ignoring an odd display of tribal warriors chanting to a young…

Standing before the party are two suits of armor held together by the masses of snakes writhing within them.  They heft their shields into place and ready their jagged swords to strike.  Tobin’s Revenge is confident to return the aggression, at first.  The skirmish begins, and the party quickly realizes that whatever they are facing receive their landed blows with less than expected effect.  Even as Sariel calls lightning down upon one soloed against EKIM, the energy passes through without even phasing the creature.  With thoughts of a possible retreat looming, Belgwyn finally hits with her mace and finds a…

Entering the dining hall of the tomb, members of Tobin’s Revenge find five bearded devils sitting at the main stone table in silence.  Offering hesitant pleasantries, the devils give no signs of acknowledgement to the group’s arrival.  With some eloquent words, Oogway finally gets one of the devils to speak with the party.  It informs the group that they are waiting for their master to return from beyond the far door.  Under the party’s continued politeness, they further discover the devils’ master is Varrum, and he has been gone for some time now.  Offer nothing further the party chooses to…

In the final moments of the failed cultist ambush, Meramin Glenhollow is focused on finding the released soul of the fallen Lucius.  Lucius, having passed on, begins his journey to the afterlife.  Seeing visions of his family left behind, the regrettable horrors committed to same them, and perhaps what could have been a redeemed end had he had the time.  He turns he sees his fallen body cradled in the lap of the halfling he just met the other day, her armour adorned in glowing ruins.  All around the blurred and streaked images of the chaotic preparations of combined efforts…

Sitting at the end of the main tavern table their old companion Tethren looks over the group saying ‘I guess we have a lot to talk about’.  Taking seats around the table except for EKIM and Belgwyn at the bar pleasantries are exchanged. Eventually Sylla and Rhogar return from outside.  Sylla takes seat on the opposite side of Sariel from Tethren, while Rhogar gets a reprimanding from Meramin (standing on her chair next to Tethren to reach his height) reminding him that ‘we don’t eat our allies!’  A short apology later he takes a spot on the other end of…
