Birfday Extravaganza

It's a birthday party!

Death Comes Calling

Our party makes their way through the underground cavern beneath the Amber Temple. As they proceed, they begin to have visions of things from the past. Garbin recalls the death of his crew at sea. Ug'te and Cedric recall the death of Cedric's wife - at Ug'te's hand. Eneith sees a vision of her people making a deal with a priestess. Aurora lives through a priestess's sacrifice of her child. As they surpass the trials and the following combat they find themselves at their destination. As they enter the ruined underground temple a voice calls from the depths of the pit. As it begins to take form, it relays some news to the group before setting its eyes on the druid - who it ends with a singular word. What does this mean for our group? Will they be able to take on this apparent evil that has risen from the depths? Why was it so keen on Eneith dying?

A Tree and its Stone... are not easily parted

The party has moved to the heart of the swamp following some mysterious music to find a large tree with a ramshackle hut. As Nyx approaches, and subsequently falls on his face, the music stops. Garbin approaches and begins conversation with the huts inhabitant, Baba Lysaga. After some cordial conversation, they are interrupted by the actions of Eneith who attempted to remove a stone from the trunk of the tree. After some painful spell flinging, including a well aimed Power Word Kill to Garbin and Power Word Stun to Ug'te, the team has worn the tree and Lysaga down, but can they survive to see the end of the fight? May the gods have mercy on their souls

The Dark Mist Cometh

As the heroes begin their rest for the evening to recover from the tribulations of their recent fight, Garbin and Aurora pay respects to their respective gods before Garbin does some preparations around the manor that would have unexpected results as they slept. Each of the members who kept watch noticed their new regular companion - the mist approach to harass them. During second watch, Nyx found himself entertained while Ug'te found himself confronted by an unlikely opponent. The next day our adventurers interacted with the dragons who have promised their aid in the future and everyone proceeded to the marsh village. What will the village of Berez hold? What did the dragons mean by their warnings? I hope everyone has their galoshes on!

Down!

Our adventurers make their way out of the swamp and make their way to the south. As they rest, they celebrate with alcohol they had taken from the winery - which has some ill effects on the cleric. They also re-encounter the fog which is acting even more strangely than before - almost seeming to strangle the barrier they have put up. Cedric decides to test the fog with tremendous results for his prosthetic hand. As they finally make it to the temple, they find themselves captivated by it's otherworldly nature before being beckoned inside by the Seer Rhaima. After providing some much needed answers about their past and potential futures, the party takes a rest with him keeping watch - only for some to awaken somewhere else. The rest of the party ventures into the depths of the Amber Temple to not only face their trial but hoping to re-find their friends. What will these trials entail? Will they all make it out alive? Only time will tell - I hope they keep their heads about them.
