Session 24

Setting: Wildfront Inn

The team find Maera and Agatha having tea at the Inn. Maera suggests to Durzo that he visit the Chapel of the Ravens again before leaving the Forsaken Expanse for the next leg of the mission. Agatha does a reading on Steam and Rhaine. She tells Steam that descends from a well-known spiritual leader of the Fire Genasi. She also tells him the answers he's looking for are deep behind enemy lines in a small cave on Kraet. To Rhaine, she tells him that his line is not only the reigning family, but also forgers of great magical weapons. She points to the daggers on his hip. She also tells him that the person who's causing him pain is not through yet. Before leaving, she tells Rhaine one more message for the whole team, that they are heading in the right direction.

The team split up for the rest of the morning. Steam heads to the Johnson family farm and convinces them to let the Order of Valor use the Teleportation circle. He promises not to tell anyone else about it. Durzo stays at the library and sends a message to his mother and to the High Priestess Sarah. She stops by the library to talk. She gives him a note sealed with the holy symbol of Lathander, and tells him to present it to Shea at the Church of the Guiding Light. Rhaine travels with Azoth to the Thunder Dome. A hooded figure in the middle of the arena turns out to be Desire, Hope's sister. She tells him how Siril was waiting for them in Gale. He murdered their family, including Hope, after he got the Amber Key. Desire managed to pull a House sigil off of the Spear he was holding. She hands it to Rhaine and tells him to avenge his sister. On the back of the sigil is written, "Speak the words when the 3 are united, Protector of the Goldenwood."

Setting: Bookwyrm Library

The team gather and catch each other up on the day's events. Captain Keddes enters, along with his Storm Cleric, Daghrim StormBrewer. Through conversation, it is agreed that the Silverwing will drop the team off in Errista (with Daghrim joining them), and then will take Altuna to Gale. Keddes leaves to prepare the ship for tonight's voyage, while the rest head to the Chapel of the Ravens.

Setting: Chapel of the Ravens

After confronting two guards, Durzo and Azoth enter the Chapel alone. Durzo enters the pool to commune, and finds the nameless Champion on the other side. He agrees that it is best to defeat the Demon first. He also tells him that he is on the path to wield the Champion's Weapon. They already travel with another legendary weapon. Before breaking the commune, the Champion lets Durzo know that the Key in the Shadowfell has not yet been discovered. But, he tells them the Key "of the Sea" has been used to collect the Green Orb. However, it has not been broken since it was removed many months ago.

On the way back, the team face a pair of Trolls in the woods. They easily defeat them thanks to a Fireball from Durzo and a Lightning Bolt from Steam. They head to the small docks, and board the Silverwing after saying their goodbyes. They're off to Errista.
