Session 25

Setting: High Seas

The Order of Valor set sail aboard The Silverwing. Captain Keddes is in a grumpy mood, but Daghrim StormBrewer plays host. Besides the crew, there are a few more passengers on board. The first day at sea is non-eventful, although Altuna asks to speak to Durzo alone. She asks him if he's thought about what getting his sight back would mean to Azoth, and if that would break the pact he made with the Raven Queen. She tells him to stay safe. On the second day, the team seas an enormous column of green light erupt from the water and shine into the sky. They don't know what happened, but Daghrim estimates its source is miles away in the south - somewhere between Falador and Gale.

On the third day of travel, as they approach Errista, the team spots two smaller ships being attacked by giant octopi. A battle begins, and they're helped by Daghrim and a Tabaxi traveler. The Storm Cleric casts a spell to let the Tabaxi and Rhaine walk on water. Steam lets off a powerful lightning bolt that catches one of the ships on fire. They eventually defeat the creatures, and are able to save two fisherman.

After the battle, Daghrim and Durzo cast healing spells on those that need it. The Tabaxi introduces herself as Edge. She's originally from Falador, but left to explore the world. She was aboard the Silverwing to get to Brightforge. Her goal was to volunteer in the war effort, but has agreed to help the team with the Demon problem in Errista first.

Setting: Errista - The Enchanted Pier

The Pier is like no other the team has seen before. Made of mainly marble, with plenty of flourishes, anyone can tell it was made with much money and magic. They head to the local headquarters to the Order of Valor, where they are reunited with Willyam. He offers lodging and horses to the group, and agrees to take them to the Guiding Light Church. He mentions having a Hill Giant problem that started about 6 months ago. Durzo makes the connection that the Demon disappeared around that time. The team rests for the night, and prepares to head to the church in the morning.
