Session Overview

In-game Date: 18 Falkhyn 1197md, Midday

• The combat was completed last session.
• The combat being finished, Elowen is able to see the injuries that Davian had, and used the services that contained healing powers.
• She used the magical spells that would heal Davian, showing him the healing abilities of the local place.
• Glint and Garax created a travois and place Davian in it, strapping him safely.
• The group moved eastwards to find somewhere safe.
• As the group moved, they found themselves with problems:
  • Firstly they were struck with darkness, the light so dim that they could barely see their hands.
  • Next they were harassed by a small group of Pixies.
  • As they moved eastwards, the light was fading and the heroes felt a great dread chilling their spines.
  • Making their way across some rough terrain, a large hole dropped under the travois and nearly pulled Glint with him/
  • He was able to hold on, Garax grabbing his arms steadfast.
  • Davian awakens, his injuries being due to his guts being temporally busted with great injuries, and looking into the hole.
  • The heroes pulled the travois from the hole and to safety.
  • An ethereal flying Snake appeared before the party and warns them: "Go no further, lest cursed ye be".
  • Magpie was looking in the opposite direction and was unaware of the Snake.
  • When the party kept moving eastwards, the Snake hissed and fly through each of the characters.
  • Each of them felt a chill settle itself in them.
• The heroes found themselves approaching a set of ruins, there were several walls, a tall narrow tower that were riddled with holes, and a group of blue-glowing stones in the centre of the tower.
• The party camped for the night and found that all their food had rotted, save for hardtack.
• One by one, the characters stepped on the glowing stones, hoping that there was some sort of power to be granted.
• Alas, the only one to receive anything was Elowen. She found that she'd received knowledge which allowed her to make another set of poultices to help Davian.
• The new poultices and fresh bandages mean that Davian is able to walk by himself, albeit with some discomfiture.

In-game Date: 19 Falkhyn 1197md, Morning

• The night passes without notice, the heroes grumbling about eating hardtack and the loss of the remaining food.
• Magpie takes the time to search the tower. He finds a nest some 40m in the air, perched inside the tower.
• He finds a set of animal prints in the nest, along with similar tracks in the ground that start and end in different places, not leaving the area.
• Elowen uses her magic to change into a bird and flies up to the nest to investigate.
• Finding nothing else, the party make their way westward back to the The Imperial Road.
• Returning back to the Ogre corpse, they took the time to bury it whilst hunting a couple of crows for a hot meal.
• Following food, the heroes walked northwards towards the Blacktooth Ridge.
• As dusk draws over, they come across a large statue of a horned beast in the centre of the road. It rests upon a black basalt pedestal covered in vines and worn by time. The statue has eroded with time so that it is chipped and pock–marked, but its right arm is stretched out pointing to the east.
• Elowen changes into a small owl and heads into the air to scan the area.
• She returns to say that there is a mound mound surrounded by bare grey rocks to the east, and several free–standing walls covered in vines, a few columns, a set of stairs going up to nothing, and heaps of rubble; and a rickety watch tower on the far side of the mound.
• The party quickly decide that they need to get closer without being seen.
• Magpie uses Elemental Manipulation to draw the moisture from the nearby ground to create a light fog around the group.
• The group move swiftly and quietly to the mound, and find a set of caves within the rocks to hide it.
• They take camp for the night, without a fire and eating hardtack.

In-game Date: 20 Falkhyn 1197md, Morning

• It is a cold night, and again, hardtack for breakfast.
• The party watch the ruins, spying the goblins making preparations to go hunting.
• There are trails leading in and out of the rubble, going north, south, and east.
• They all converge on a large opening in the centre of what was once a large building.
• Here, there is a black hole in the earth with stairs leading down into darkness.
• There is a single goblin on the watchtower.
• The group stealthily climb the rocks and make their way towards the large hole.
  • Halfway through, Elowen and Glint walk into a pair of goblins.
  • They quickly take them down, hiding the bodies.
• The party finally make their way to the hole.
  • Glint is stalked by a goblin and attempts to kill him.
  • Thankfully his armour protects him and he quickly kills it in silence.
  • Again, the body is quickly hidden.
• Looking down into the hole, they can see a series of steps circling the walls of the hole, leading down and there is a singular passage heading north into the darkness.
