27th Vult, 999 YK
- Midnight, so it's now the 27th!
- Nayara Ocaña and Dax' Athla take out the wolves with silvered arrows.
- Lozaal Daashor gently drags Kurlun into the petrification field. This is the beginning of a pattern of problem solving in today's session.
- With the immediate threat addressed, they converse with Harryn Stormblade. There is a tense conversation between Harryn and Sheshka, and he refuses to forgive her. For him, only days have passed since she abandoned them, the wound is still raw.
- Harryn explains that he fought a mage from the west named Drukan the Moonlord, supposedly a student of Mordain the Fleshweaver. Drukan sought the lunar orbs, so that he could perform a ritual when six full moons were in the sky, to empower the Wild Heart. Harryn and pals tried to stop him, but they couldn't find Drukan's Tower of Shadows.
- Harryn explains that an ancient text they found indicated that Drukan's Tower was destroyed during the Age of Demons, but it persists within its own shadow. Steel theorises that this is a demiplane.
- Harryn failed to stop the ritual, and the timing suggests that this led to the Silver Crusade. Harryn has no idea what happened to his companions.
- Harryn hands out wolfsbane to everyone, and requests they eat it. It's poisonous, but provides protection from lycanthropy.
- Dax asks Harryn if he can remember what the text looked like. Kalshana mind links with him and Dax, as Dax can read infernal, and he tries to remember. Dax can't translate it, but Sulzrirtas appears to her and offers to translate it. She refuses.
- Sulzrirtas then offers to locate the demiplane, if Dax just lets them drive for a time. Dax refuses.
- Dax remembers passing through an area of unnatural gloom on the way to the Ossuary, that's likely the location of the demiplane.
- With that worked out, they begin heading there.
- On the way, they are intercepted by Zaeurl, who leaps from a rooftop to attack them. She's very scary, and manages to injure almost everyone. Lozaal and Terfel work together to restrain her, and Alyn ties her up in silver chains. She reverts to her elven form, and Lozaal drives pitons into the ground, through the chains, to keep her down. She strangles out a cry that sounds like the word "run".
- Sheshka petrifies Zaeurl, as they don't trust the chains to hold her.
- They heal up and take stock of what resources they have. Lozaal prays to The Traveler, but receives no response. He throws away his Muut/Atcha coin in disgust.
- Dax picks up the coin, not wanting it to be lost.
- From there, they run to the area of gloom. Harryn states he can feel the orb of olarune, it seems he is still attuned to it! He thinks he can take them to it.
- Everyone joins hands, and then Harryn ports them into the demiplane.
- They find themselves in a forest reminiscent of the Eldeen Reaches, with a fearsome looking tower in front of them. They are attacked by a large black-furred tiger, as well as Brulri Tordannon, Hjolmund Toldorath, Ember and Jhalaer Tyrell.
- They take down the tiger relatively easily, but Ember has FLAMETHROWER ARMS.
- We end the session on the beginning of the second round of combat.
