Plotpoints

  • Golgothazar Starvekoyne & Yeeghana traveled the River Styx, alongside Eeahveeahvee and other Marrenoloths, where they briefly met a half-gnoll/half-ogre named Knifo and a halfling named Willimus. Those passengers were escorting Gorellik to the Death Dells.
  • A crew of Celestial Eladrin appeared out of a cloud of mist and began attacking the Merrenoloth galleon and its passengers. Golgothazar cast Crown of Madness on the Eladrin captain, who rushed to attack Golgothazar but slipped on the rope and fell into the River Styx. Mid-fight, Nyxarra and her small pirate crew showed up and helped the party turn the tide of the battle and kill the last of the Eladrin.
  • Golgothazar and Yeeghana jumped ship and finished their journey to Shedaklah with the Bregan D'aerthe crew, where they eventually met up with Jarlaxle near the Slime Pits. Three Lantanese submarines appeared and took the party through the Underdark's sunken tunnels, into the Glimmersea and then into the Sea of Fallen Stars.
  • The submarines eventually went up the River Ashaba and dropped off their passengers not too far from Underdale within Khal'Abbil territory. Outside of Underdale, the party discovered an army in the hundreds amassed outside the town, preparing to attack.
  • The party attacked a patrol of 8 soldiers while Nyxarra and Darleena stole a bunch of horses. The group rode hard and fast back to Fort Wenderly while some of them split off to warn Semberholme.
  • Nyxarra's crew and the players met back up in Fort Wenderly, having gathered and sent armies from both Fort Wenderly and Semberholme. The group then teleported into the White Hart Inn, and Golgothazar liquified the bones of the bartender who attempted to run away. The group then snuck to Azuli's tower, where Golgothazar used a Wish spell through his Eye and Hand of Vecna to cast Earthquake, crumbling the tower to dust and sending Azuli crashing down to her death. The group then retreated back to Fort Wenderly after getting into a shootout with the guards, which is when Golgothazar used his scrying ball to see Azuli's apparent lifeless hand.
