  • She has a raven on her shoulder
  • Her name is Kass and she's a Ranger
• Randir tells her that we ran into some Drakes up river
• She seems a little concerned and asks if she needs help can she call on us
  • Randir is MORE than willing to offer their help

• We meet Lang, he's a little confused by us
• Turns out he runs the [Something Cabbage]

• The flames pouring down these statues become two spectral figures made of ETHEREAL FLAME
• WE FIGHT
  • More spectral creatures show up
  • Randir loses some permanent HP (long rest will fix)
• Thank the gods for Moonbeam and a Paladin
• After the fight, Randir's sword is still slightly vibrating
• What else lies here?
• We walk for a bit and find another room
• There is a seal on a rock... on the ground
• We investigate
• Randir medidtaes and casts Detect Magic as a ritual
  • He sees into the "magical ethereal realm of magic"
• He hears a voice, sad, "Free me...."
• Randir pushes, "Why?"
• "I have been trapped here for so long, please release me..."
• Randir breaks from his trance and tells Ulertu and Theo what he heard
  • He believes whatever is being held by this seal is trapped, chained by the magic
• We decide tobreak the seal and free the spirit
• AND THEN THE PLACE STARTS TO CRUMBLE
• Randir casts Haste on everyone
• We manage to make it out alive
  • Thanks Haste!
• We run out of the collapsing hillside
• Pallas is very confused
• We head over to a creek to rest
• Pallas says, "Perhaps you releasing this power was releasing something back to nature itself..."
• Randir ponders on this, "This power was great... larger than a creek, a bird... something... " He can't find a way to describe it
• We think on this for a while
• Randir feels a breeze and notices a type of reed he can use to make into upgraded armor
  • His focus on this is peaceful and intent on the task
• A small white fin swims up the river and JUMPS OUT AND ATTACKS Randir
• FUCK
• We kill two of these monsters... and there is silence.
• They were drakes
  • They served larger, greater serpents
• Ulertu knows that the Giants bent the lesser serpents to their will
• There have been rumors from the rangers that they need to deal with monsters like this...
  • Remember the dude in White Tree?
• We figure out that if there's two here... there's probably more.
• Pallas heals us a little
• Pallas also notes that there is a town near by. Perhaps we should head there
• We pack up and head toward the town on our horses as the sun sets
• AND WE LEVEL UP (7)

• He's not sure if they can continue with the Cinder Root Trio...
• but we need to tell Bell and Dove what happened, at least

  • She's been tracking these weapons being brought into the city (as she said)
  • She was following up on the containers
• She was investigating the Shipping guild
  • She was looking for a dude for Avadon Mar
    • This is the dude we kind fought when we FIRST got to the city
  • But Avadon Mar isn't the head honcho. She was looking for his boss.
• She scribbled the sigil of House Grey
  • Also within that sigil is a serpent??
  • The serpent resembles dragons of olde (in a circle like an Ouroboros)

  • There's a montage of emotions, fading to us on a hill on the North side of the city.

• We leave the city on horseback
• Theo and Randir talk
  • Theo tells about his past... which is... dark.
• Randir gives a speech about how strange it is who you connect to and who connects to your life... He's overwhelmed with emotion.
  • Fuckin hell, Randir is very emotional about the people of this world
  • "The forest is all ebb and flow in life, but in the civilized world... there's something different." Life is more precious to him here.
• We make our way to the Sunfields
  • This is the place where the Great Emperor was first injured and his blood was spilled
  • Takes a few days to cross through the Sunfields
• OH and Pallas is with us
• We come across a very angular, not-natural looking, 40ft+ tall, grass covered... thing?
• Randir casts Detect Magic as a ritual
• Ulertu climbs the hill thing?? He gets to the top and it's weirdly flat.
• Randir detects Conjuration magic.
• Ulertu digs down about 2 feet and finds solid stone
• Ulertu and Theo hammer into the stone and.... fall into the space within the obelisk thing
  • Randir warned them...
• Randir creates a climbing rope to get down to meet Ulertu and Theo
  • He stabs a javelin into the ground and ties a rope to it
• This place is full of old, crumbling carpets and niceties
• Ulertu thinks this either a home or a tomb for a giant.
• We travel into the tomb futher, Ulertu finds some text:
  • "Here lies Lord Dobvir, King of the Sunfields, he who faced the black sky"
• A feeling of unease rushes over us as we see some sort of movement in the eyes of these huge statues...
• The Amber Blade begins to shake.. he unsheathes it and it gives off a soft amber glow.
  • Randir remembers: "This blade is of the mountain"
• As Randir looks up at the eyes, dark flames POUR out of the eyes of the statues......... FILLING THE CAVERN
• UH OH
