Everlife Merchant District
We head out of the Noble area first to the food warehouse, and in the warehouse we once again face 2 banshees. However, Codex has planned for this, and silences the area with his magic. Their terrible screech cannot defeat us now! We dispatch them and are victorious.
After loading up on food, we move to a second warehouse, this one filled with “Special goods”. A Flesh Golem guards the warehouse. They are constructs made from one of the few remaining Manuals left by the wizards, and are resistant to almost all sources of damage, including most spells. We know that lightning is a bad idea, as it can heal the golem of wounds. We fight it, and it is extremely damaging and tough. However, we defeat it.
Among the items we find in the special storage is an Ioun Stone, which Codex believes is a sign that his god approves. We are on the right path!
At that point, the Revenant attacks us. We learn his name is Zepar, and that he was once a Tiefling. He speaks to us briefly until he sees Berdyn, and then he attacks with ferocity. We defeat him again, but… he’ll return.
Everlife Noble District
We return to the spire with food and are welcomed as heroes. The people eat and begin to get their strength back. They have agreed that most will leave Everlife to return to Lasthaven with us.
Michael and Albrect as well as about 10 other will stay and guard the Spire and the Flame of Pelor.
We talk to Albrect about Zepar. He has an old book about Zepar. It seems that 200 years ago, Zepar was a Tiefling with a wife and children. He and his family were kidnapped by Nalicral Slyslayer, and they tortured and killed Zepar’s family in front of him, he was last to die. Zepar’s grief and rage brought him back to life, and he will kill any dwarf rogue that he comes across, for eternity. He will keep coming.
We prepare for the next day, where we will defeat Octavio, his followers, and his demon.
