Session 43

Setting: Tower Eternal

Steam's Wall of Fire and Fog Cloud dissipate, and all see Rhaine standing over Siril's body as he pulls the Goldenwood Spear out of his chest. The remaining Shadow Walkers leave after stating that there was no contract out on them at the time. They were merely on a personal mission from Siril. As they depart, they let Rhaine know that he has a claim to leadership of the group.

The Mages of the Tower line the entryway into the Teleportation Chamber. Preparing to do battle, Edge and Rhaine notice that the Teleportation Circle is flickering, as if someone is trying to use it. In a burst of arcane energy, the cirle lights up to show the Vaultkeeeper - Lorali. She berates the Mages for desecrating her former home, and sends reinforcements for the Order of Valor - Xaraiya, Rene, Rene's daughter, and Click. They walk through and form a line between the Mages and the Order. Xaraiya casts a healing spell, and Death Ward on Durzo and Edge. The head Mage attempts to cast a spell, but is stabbed in the neck by the person standing next to him who reveals himself to be Gene Parmesan. As the epic spell casting battle commences, Rene's daughter throws a snowball onto the circle, which lights up again for the Order to escape.

They end up outside the Tower, now placed in Kraet. They see Koyassa raising ice creatures, and one in particular is glowing red from an Orb in its chest. They start marching towards the courtyard of the Tower while two Frost Giants attack the Order.

Setting: Kraet - outside the Tower Eternal

The Order fight and defeat the Frost Giants thanks to another use of Steam's Ring of Obscuring. Battling Koyassa for the Orb, Durzo takes a beating and nearly falls. The Death Ward cast upon him triggers, and he's able to Misty Step away with the Orb. He gives it to his new familiar, who files over to Steam. Koyassa intercepts and recovers the Orb. She then teleports over to the courtyard.

Rhaine and Edge decimate most of the Ice Creatures as they head over to the courtyard. Rhaine falls through the ice and frigid water. Luckily, he just drank a potion to prevent him from freezing himself. Steam teleports himself and Durzo into the courtyard to witness Koyassa insert the Red Orb into the doorway of the Tower Eternal.
