Aria 25,26 1877 4th age

The Stormcrows looked at the man floating in the air a distance away, noting his half black face and red robes. He spoke. “Who gave you permission to travel upon my desert?” Lothar spoke for the group and apologised for the intrusion on his desert. “I insist on you joining me at my castle.” He then waved his hand and the phantom steeds which the group was riding were dispelled and the group floated to the ground.

He pointed to the north where the group could see the dust cloud that surrounded his castle. The group moved to the castle. The man reappeared in front of the door. Flook Dingle Jag could see that he was aglow with magic. They entered the wizards home and were impressed with the quality of the castle. The floors were of a blue tile which seemed cool to the feet. The walls had several paintings on the walls. One was a sequential picture of a woman from birth to death. Another wall had a picture of a ship sailing and the ship was moving in the painting. A third wall had a red curtain on it. The group saw stone golem servants bringing in water for the group. “I am Tarot and you are my guests.” in a tone that brooked no disagreement.

A discussion ensued, the Stormcrows found out that Tarot was the last of a group of wizards who overlooked the races of Beldorn and would push things in a proper direction. He mentioned of Barabass and his Dragon wife Ruth, of Felker, Ho Chin, Abdul and others. Flook Dingle Jag recongized these names as great wizards of previous ages. When asked about his age, Tarot said older than you think. The group asked more about why he doesn’t do things like that today. His response was that without the rest of wizards it wasn’t worth it. He went over to a table and waved a hand. Images of Lothar flashed by. He turned and said that Lothar is a node of history. Lothar was rather miffed about the intrusion.

Tarot invited the group to dinner and insisted on it. Each had their favorite dish served to them. A cursory look at the dinnerware, the group realized that the value of the dishes exceeded some 15,000 gold. He then suggested that they retire to the parlor and insisted on them having a drink. The parlor had a map of the world and the Stormcrows asked about where there they were on the map. The group realized that this would be worth alot to cartographers of the region. They noticed that the liquor that was being served also had a high worth.

The Stormcrows and Tarot discussed the location where the group was going. Tarot gave some information about the lizardmen who lived there, the structure, a little of Varanos and the book that the group was looking for. It seems that Varanos was turned into living metal due to some curse that he has not been able to remove.

Dessert was served and Tarot insisted on them having a piece. The Stormcrows decided that they needed to leave. Tarot insisted on them staying but Lothar said no that they needed to leave. The Stormcrows left through the front door and found a howling desert wind blowing but decided to press on and then would go up through a rope trick to rest for the night.

It was during this rest, that Lothar’s sword Blackrazor spoke to him. It spoke of him unlocking the least of its abilities and described other quests that would be required of him to unlock the rest of the swords abilities.

The Stormcrows traveled across the desert the next day and over the hills seeing mostly desolate barren terrain. After several hours of travel green was spotted by Nuna As the group got closer they could see a community within a large green area and blue of water. The group landed and walked through the upright crops along the outside of the town. The Stormcrows looked at dusty colored lizardmen who were working the crops and the lizardmen looked back. At the gate of the town the group was stopped by a trio of guards who hissed at them. Flook Dingle Jag understood the words and translated them to the group. It was not a object of greetings. One of the trio spun some balls on a stick making a clacking sound and soon a head popped up on the wall by the gate. This lizardman had a cloth cap on his head and told the group to go away in a tongue understood by the group. The stormcrows deliberated about this until the lizard man with the cloth cap disappeared rather rapidly behind the gates. He reappeared and told the gate keepers to open the doors.

A musty reptilian smell assailed the stormcrows noses as well as a putrid rancid smell. Several lizardmen stood between the humans and the doorway they had just entered. One extremely large lizardman with his hand on the lizardman with the cloth cap whispered to the cloth cap one. “You are welcome here” with a look that looked like a grin. “We are eating, please join us.” The lizardmen motioned the group to walk down the street, the rancid smell got stronger and the group saw why. There was an open pit with various dead creatures, being eaten by the lizardmen. The Stormcrows felt that disrection was the better part of valor and began to back away towards the gate. Lizardmen from behind crowded behind the group. Flook Dingle Jag yelled out that they had come to see Varanos. This stopped the lizardman push. The big lizardman picked out six of the lizardmen and motioned Flook Dingle Jag to follow them. The lizardmen went back and forth trying to get Flook Dingle Jag confused. They came upon the structure described by Tarot, a squarish building surrounded by water with a bridge going to a set of doors. Outside the water area was a series of holes. Flook Dingle Jag was told that the entrance was at one of the holes, Fluke noticed that bones littered the holes but was pushed nearly into one of the holes when a purple worm came out of the ground and attacked Fluke. The creature swallowed Fluke whole but Fluke was able to d-door out of the stomach back to the group.

In the meantime the remaining stormcrows, were slowly being hemmed in by an increasing number of lizardmen. Some were touching the arms of the heroes in a manner that suggested that they would be the dinner. Flook Dingle Jag’s return startled the lizards and the group flew up into the air and blasted fireballs at the massed lizardmen. Flook Dingle Jag, being particulary annoyed flesh to stone the big lizardman and then distingrated him. The group left to discuss particulars of entry the next day.

Gunter listened to the words that Duncan spoke and thought about it. He then spoke to the group about what happened to him. Duncan and the others were not convinced that he was the Gunter they were seeking but decided to take him to a refugee camp. The weather was cold and stormy as they traveled down a road. Gunter decided that this was indeed Marelle as the road was very typical of that duchy, but didn’t decide to confirm the information. The group stopped at an encampment. It was cold and wet. There were about 150 Gnomes living in makeshift structures.

Gunter spoke to the Gnomes. Many didn’t believe that he was actually a gnome. He explained patiently of where he came from and of his parents who were both tailors and of the imprisonment and the fear of being eliminated as so many of his friends and people were. Slowly the group became convinced and two elder gnomes came out of the crowd. It was his parents. Gunter had been separated from them before the incident. The parents were doubters but listened to the information about his past, his mother teared up and gave him a hug. Gunter decided that he would need his compatriots from the other land. The others made a decision to allow his companions to be brought to this land.

In the meantime on the other side of the world, Ansirius Elliot Stabler was listening to brother Joshua who was telling him that he would be the presiding judge in the case against him and recommended a legalist named Renisler to defend him. The group without Gunter Von Hiesenberg III returned and greeted the priest. Brother Joshua stayed for a couple of days and when Gunter Von Hiesenberg III came back with Otto, the group was a little confused. {Ansirius Elliot Stabler had been kidnapped after the rest of the group left} Gunter explained the situation to the group and all voted yes except for Ansirius Elliot Stabler who was in a quandry. His beliefs demanded that he stay there and he had to with the little vermin who Ansirius found out was named a Frix and was used by authorities to keep major suspects from wandering too far away.

The group left the mountain and found themselves in a wet area. Duncan and the others assigned the first task for the group, that they escort a group of Gnomes who were hiding in the woods and waiting to be escorted across the river. There were several boats that the group could use to bring back the refugees. The 3/4 river was crossed and the group started down the trail that was described to them. The group was attacked by a group wearing weasel masks. The group cut down that group and moved up the trail, fell into a trap and were attacked by a group in Boar masks.

Gunter waited in the darkness for his captor to come. He had been blindfolded and knew that he was not back in Firenz but somewhere nearby. Marelle, perhaps. He would be silent until spoken to. He heard the sound of heavy boots coming down stairs. He heard the sound of keys being inserted into a heavy door and being pushed open. He heard the voices talking, he had a item which allowed him to comprehend languages and he understood everything that was being said. There seemed to be some confusion and disagreement. The voice that he knew was Otto was the one with the most confusion. “He is not a gnome but he knew everything else that the gnome was supposed to know.” Another said, “perhaps the machine changed him as it sent him away” Gunter was shocked for he remembered the voice. It was the priest that was going to eliminate him as he had so many others. A third voice, in a accent that suggested the Green Isles, said simply let us talk to him.

The blindfold came off but the shackles were not removed. There were three men in the dimly lit cell. Otto, he knew but the others, one was a priest of Gond, by the mask on his face, the other was dressed in light armor and had a sword and dagger. The light armored one spoke to Gunter. “You are Gunter?” Gunter nodded. “My name is Duncan and as you can see there are three of us. Otto, you have met, the priests name is Kristoff and he saved you from extinction in the chambers.” The priest asked if you changed because of the device. Gunter shook his head no. The priest moved up and was face to face with Gunter. Gunter could see all the craftwork that went into the mask. “So how did you change?” Gunter could sense the curiousity of the priest but refused to answer.

Duncan spoke again. “Forgive our heavy handed ways but we needed to get you back to where you came from to perhaps save your people.” Gunter listened as Duncan spoke…..

Ansirius wasn’t happy about the situation that he was in. Having something inside him preventing him from going very far away and being stuck here baby sitting the miners. A trial awaited him for the murder of two men who were brutalizing another. He spent much time each day praying and awaiting an answer from Tyr. Several days after the group left to gather more miners and men to work the mine, Ansirius Elliot Stabler had a visitor. It was Brother Joshua. Ansirius Elliot Stabler had great joy in his heart and greeted his old friend. Brother Joshua told Ansirius that he would be the judge of his upcoming trial. He had to remain neutral in the proceedings but had a recommendation of a legalist to defend him. Victoria, who had bailed him from jail, had a meeting with brother Joseph and knew where to find him. Ansirius Elliot Stabler had many questions to ask…

aria 23,24 1877 4th age

The group left the encampment via phantom steeds summoned by Flook Dingle Jag. The stormcrows rode just above the ground until they reached the Durvill forest. There Nuna sensed the corruption of the land. The trees were a wrong color and were set in unnatural shapes. She felt that it wasn’t just the trees but the ground below it. The group rose above the trees and flew onward.

As they traveled onward several of them heard a scream of pain. The group debated shortly about whether or not they should find out what the scream was about, but they decided to investigate the sound. They came upon a giant some 18 feet tall and with a greenish tint being beset upon by creatures with brainlike heads,beaks and tentacles. There were seven of them and one seemed to be the leader. The stormcrows attacked. Flook Dingle Jag using his new feat of sculpt spell attempted to fireball the tenacled creatures but his attempt was dispelled by the leader of the creatures. Lothar and Nuna went into melee with the creatures. The giant fell to the ground.

Flook Dingle Jag felt his intelligence drain down from the leader but continued his magical assault on the group. Lothar felt the multiple stings of the tentacles but shrugged off the numbing effects and took a couple of the creatures down. Lothar also felt his strength wane considerably from a spell from the creature but Nuna had an answer for that and Lothar strength returned. The two of them were hit by a lightning bolt but withstood the damage.

Flook Dingle Jag magic brought the others leaving the leader alone who tried to get away but was caught and killed. The stormcrows stood around the giant watching him slowly come around from the paralysis which had brought him down. He said something but it was unintelligible to all but Flook Dingle Jag who had permanently had comphrend language cast upon himself. The giant asked why? Flook Dingle Jag repeated the message to the group who were as puzzled as himself. The group made peaceful gestures to the giant and allowed him to stand up and the group was in awe of the height of the creature. The giant reached into his bag and handed the group a giant acorn. It was about 6” in diameter and about the same in height. He handed it to Flook Dingle Jag and walked away. The group detected magic and found it magical. Hyorn Rutherford healed the group and they continued their journey. It took them five hours to cross the expanse of the Durvill, seeing the swamp within the center of woods and noting that there were living things within the swamp. They passed beyond the forest and started into the mountains. At the crest they stopped for the night.

On the morning, the group looked at the expanse of desert before them. Nuna cast resist heat on the group, for she had determined that the temperature would exceed 100 degrees at the valley floor. The phantom steeds were summoned and the group moved down the mountains to the desert. The group kept a wary eye for one of the miners had told them of a wizard with a black and white face that had saved him from the desert and kept him see(No Victory no defeat-Stormcrows} The desert was a hard pack, the first thing that the group noticed was what appeared to be a large scar across the desert some 120 feet wide. The scar went as far as the group could see. Nuna mentioned that the scar was at least a month old in her opinion. The travel was uneventful for two hours but the group notice a cloud of dust in the distance which seemed to move. The group had their mounts rise and kept a look at the cloud. They determined that the cloud was moving slower than them but was trying to intecept them. Nuna again looked and could see that it was a structure moving along the ground. They determined that they had seen enough and spurred their mounts.

Ahead of them a man appeared with a black and white face…...........

The group talked to the surviving members of the miners that they had taken with them to the mine on Mt. Wolf. The group left Ansirius Elliot Stabler with the miners and went back down the mountain to gather more supplies and to recruit more miners.

The party travelled back to Carse. They ran into a flyer in the mountains who almost carried Faera-Bael away before being driven off. On the final road before Carse, the group challenged a single rider who claimed to be looking for Gunter Von Hiesenberg III. The group asked why. All they knew was that Gunter Von Hiesenberg III was orginially from a far away land and had never volunteered any information. The rider, whose name was Otto, claimed that Gunter Von Hiesenberg III was part of a experiment who had been sent to a wrong place. Gunter Von Hiesenberg III claimed that the people were trying to exterminate the Gnomish community within the land Firenz. Otto explained that due to a error that Gunter was paranoid and disoriented and needed to be brought back so he could get healthy.

The group didn’t buy the story and began to try to attack Otto who disappeared when the attack began. The group reached Carse and Gunter Von Hiesenberg III sought out the temple to learn some new items. The rest of the group recruited more men to work the mine. The group also hired three warriors to help guard the miners. They are the Warriors Three.

Gunter Von Hiesenberg III

The group except for Gunter Von Hiesenberg III left for the mine. Otto appeared one night and captured Gunter Von Hiesenberg III. Also nobody knows if anything happened to Ansirius Elliot Stabler during his time up on the mountain.

Aria 22-23 1877 4th age

The stormcrows moved from the chamber of pillars and down the corrider that Flook Dingle Jag went down, still polymorphed as a giant. A door stood before them but not very long. Another room opened up with another door. Again the door was splintered and a stairwell down, again followed to a door. Again a splintering and a large cavern loomed before the group. They spotted structures and discerned figures moving about. The stormcrows shut up the door as well as they could and moved to the other corridor. Flook Dingle Jag cast a mass fly spell as the corridor was still hanging open to the pit trap. The group then opened the door and found another room of black and white alternating squares with a door in the opposite corner.

The group moved to the other door, broke it down and found yet another stairwell down and another door. In this room was a platform and two statues. As the stormcrows moved in the statues moved and attacked the group. The fighting was fast and furious. Both Lothar and Flook Dingle Jag were nearly down for the count but Hyorn Rutherford kept up his pace of healing, burning up nearly all his spells to keep his comrades alive. Exhausted after the long fight the group went on through the door and found that they were in the same large cavern as before with the creatures that were there. The group identified them as Duegar and decided that discretion was the better part of valor and shut that door and returned to the village.

They told the group that they were not sure of being able to defeat the mind killer(Illithid)and of the duegar that resided also within. The villagers decided to have a conference among themselves about the situation. The village had started the mine at the top of the bluff and had been working their way down the interior for several years and things had been good. But, the stormcrows couldn’t guarentee a victory and the villages had fallen to the tenacled creature without much struggle. The villagers after a discussion that lasted through the night decided that they would leave.

In the meantime Lothar had a dream. The first such dream in a long time. This dream showed his sword “Black Razor” speaking although he couldn’t make out the words. He saw images of him meeting his god Tempus in a large and lonely castle in the plane of Limbo and the god touching his sword. In addition, he saw himself visiting with a Rokan woman and child with a Rokan structure in the back ground and the sword was in the background. He wasn’t sure of the meaning.

The villagers thanked the stormcrows for their efforts and one of them gave the group additional information about Durvill and the desert beyond the mountain. Apparently one of the miners had been lost in the desert and was saved by a wizard with half of his face black and the other white. The wizard was named Tarot and he had a castle in the middle of the desert. He also stated that also he wasn’t harmed he had the sense of being fattened up like a calf to slaughter and sought to escape. He escaped but doesnt really remember how he did it.

The group left.

Aria 26-Latlander 2 1877 4th age

With Ansirius Elliot Stabler in jail, the group considered a radical option. They would kill Ansirius Elliot Stabler and reincarnate him so he would be more difficult to find, if he were hunted. Fortunately the option was dismissed, because Ansirius Elliot Stabler wouldn’t allow it.

This option was completely discounted when Ansirius Elliot Stabler was bailed out by a sorceress named Veronica. She took him to the psionist Malmon who was also training Vanion. The two of them wanted the trial to go on but wanted to make a political statement about the abuses of the blooders and benders by the arcanists, diviners and the public in general.

Ansirius Elliot Stabler was brought back to the jail where a strange man in a blue robe put him under. He vaguely remembered a small creature in the blue robe guys hand and then a strange sensation in his stomach. After he awoke, he was told that he was free to move about but if he went more than 100 miles away he would be teleported back. He was also prevented from plane shifting away by the same creature and any attempt to dispell, remove the creature would result in a teleport back to the cell.

Vanion finished his training with Malmon and the group left to claim their mine at Mount Wolf with the work crew that they had hired.

The group entered Kirkville at dusk. Kirkvill is small village and there wasn’t enough lodging for the group and the crew. A barn was secured. The next day five of the crew didn’t show up. A search failed to locate the five men. The group asked if any body wanted to join the crew, a young lad joined the group.

The group encountered a displacer and a bulette one their journey. The bulette killed one of the crew. The group finally reached the spot of the mine, only to find that there was another group at the mine. Ansirius Elliot Stabler was elected to speak to the other group. The person he spoke to was a fighter named Henning, a discussion ensued, with Ansirius Elliot Stabler showing Henning the legal papers. Henning went over his group and discussed things. With a look of annoyance Hennings group began to break down their camp. The group offered money for the tents and the other group took it and left.

The group organized the miners and crew and set the foreman and the pet bear of Faera-Bael, a elvish druid that the group had met on their journey out of the elvish lands, and went into the cave.

The group went into the cave to explore before setting the miners to work. As the group moved into the mine, setting torches and lighting their way. A noise behind them disturbed the group. The entrance to the mine had collapsed. Faera-Bael summoned badgers to begin to clear the mine and the rest moved on and soon find the way down to a lower level of the mine. A scream from the upper level startled them.

Faera-Bael was busy preparing another summoning. The original badgers time had expired. He looked up and saw that a dwarf in plate had walked through the rubble at cave entrance and was weilding a 2 handed weapon. Faera-Bael was nearly killed before wild shaping into a wolf and fled.

Ansirius Elliot Stabler almost attacked Faera-Bael in his wild shape but figured it out. The story was told and the group decided to send kelana up the ladder. She was attacked at the top and was nearly done in but for Gunter Von Hiesenberg III was up the ladder behind her, healing furiously. The stalemate lasted for several rounds before kelana finally forced her way out of the hole and defeated the dwarf. The group continued back towards the entrance and found that the group that they had kicked out was setting ambushes at the intersections. Finally they routed the group, and got back to the entrance where they found that half the miners were dead and the bear missing.

Aria 22 1877 4th age

The stormcrows mended the damage done to them and began to awaken the villagers who had been knocked out by the blows of the group. As they roused them, it became evident that the townspeople were fuzzy as to what happened to them and why they would attack the Stormcrows.

the townsfolk stated that they broke into a chamber with columns and things went blank thereafter. The group decided to go into the cavern the next day but didnt mention it to the villagers. The villagers came over and offered a percentage of their take from the mine to rid the menance that faced them. The Stormcrows accepted the offer and were given some money up front.

That night the village was attacked by a strange creature. it was during Lothar and Nuna’s watch. Talaria, Nuna pet companion, fled in terror from the creature. Lothar nearly succumbed to the urge to attack himself. The creature was eventually defeated.

The group entered the mines following instructions from the miners and found the chamber. It was large and dark. There were columns 20 ft wide and set about 20 ft about in perfect rows. The room itself was about 100 feet in width and appeared to be deeper. The group created illumination to aid them in looking around. The group buffed up and the group went in looking about nervously. A wall of cold, came up between Nuna and Hyorn Rutherford inflicting damage on the two of them as well as the cat. Nuna spotted the creature that they had fought against before. Lothar sprinted to the creature and attempted to grapple it.

Nuna successfully resisted the cold, thanks to Hyorns’ spell but her cat did not and stayed back. The creature slipped away from Lothar and attempted to distinegrate him. Lothar sucessfully resisted but still took significant damage. Lothar regrappled the creature.

Flook Dingle Jag had no luck in beating the creature with spells last time so polymorphed himself into a hill giant, scraping his head on the ceiling and moved to the fight.

The creature disappeared from Lothar’s grasp. The group went looking around and began to split up. The creature came back and launched another cold wall on the group, the resistance spell that Hyorn Rutherford had cast earlier protected him again from the cold. Flook Dingle Jag cast glitterdust on the creature who was blinded.

Lothar again rushed to the creature who again disappeared. [[:337] notice a door and pulled it open. He saw his reflection in the door but noticed that it moved differently from him. The clone of Lothar swung at lothar.

Hyorn Rutherford came up behind Lothar to heal lothar while Flook Dingle Jag and Nuna started a dangerous search for the creature. Flook Dingle Jag found a secret door and set off a trap which didn’t affect him and Nuna found another secret door and went down a hallway, tried a door any barely escaped a pit trap. In the meantime Lothar and his clone fought a bloody fight, Hyorn kept healing Lothar while his clone didnt have the healing. Lothar also beat on the glass shattering it. Lothar eventually won the fight.

Aria 16-25 1877 4th age

The group checked the bulletin boards about sey fo and found that the only positions were that of body guards. The group decided to go overland to Carse, and outside of some bandits easily dispatched covered the 120 mile journey in a little over a week.

The group had filed claim to a mine some months previously and were anxious to get it going although the Mount Wolf region was known to be dangerous.Vanion wished to recieve some training in additional powers and went to look for the psionists in the city. He had noted that there were some signs of the continuing problems of the benders and blooders. There were signs posted on some of the establishments. He eventually found somebody to train him and agreed to the price.

Ansirius Elliot Stablerdecided to wander the streets while the rest of the group was in negoiations with miners. He came upon two men with scarlet capes with the strange dog brain thing that he had seen in sey fo. They were accosting a person and Ansirius Elliot Stabler went to his rescue, demanding that they stop what they were doing. The two men told him to get lost. The brain-dog thing was causing the man to scream so Ansirius Elliot Stabler attacked the two men. They both defended themselves against Ansirius Elliot Stabler. The brain dog stopped attacking the man and went to the defense of the two. Ansirius Elliot Stabler dropped first one of the men then the other but he felt mentally drained by the psionic blasts from the beast and went down in a heap. When he awoke, he found himself in jail, accused of attacking and killing two bounty men who were bringing a rogue telepath. The brain dog had run away. Ansirius Elliot Stabler protested his innoence.

In the meantime, Vanion was working with a mentor, when there came a knock on the door. The mentor opened it and found a man claiming that a creature was sucking out his soul. Vanion and the mentor attempted to calm down the man, when they heard a scratching at the door.

The two of them stood in front of the door and got the third man to open it. There was nothing at the door. They then heard sounds going up the walls. They stood back and looked towards the windows and the back door. The back door flew open and the beast attacked Vanion. The two psionists used their abilities to eventually destroy the beast.

Aria 21 1877 4th age

The stormcrows looked up in the darkness at the rabble at the top of the incline. Behind them some of the peasantry was stirring behind them. A hollow voice from above shouted out “surrender”. The stormcrows mulled this over for all of a second then asked to whom are we surrendering? “our leader” was the reply. Lothar made a slightly obscene reply and Flook Dingle Jag had the group huddle around him and D-doored out of the mine into the village leaving the bad guys behind.

The group spent the next several minutes preparing for the townsfolk and who ever controlled them. The towns folk, most of them moved slowly towards the group, however a couple of them moved at a higher pace and the group noticed a couple of greyish dwarves with the group. Flook Dingle Jag noticed a invisible figure among the group and then felt intense pain and a memory of a fireball that had killed him in the past. Nuna summoned two dire lions to aid the in the combat.

The combat lasted a long time. The group tried to subdue the townsfolk while fending off their attacks. Fortunately the townsfolk in general didnt hit well but the grey dwarves and a couple of others began to pile up damage on some of the group.

Lothar went up to the invisible figure who had been outlined by a fairiefire from Flook Dingle Jag but was having difficulty hitting the creature. Lothar was subjected to a series of mental attacks, no of which succeeded. He discerned that there were two types of mental attacks on his being, one of which if he failed to resist, would be the death of him. Aid reached Lothar in the form of Nuna and her cat. Content Not Found: hyorn-rutherfor cast a area dispell which the creature looked very annoyed about. The creature found itself surrounded and disappeared. The group looked around.

The creature appeared from another part of the town and sent one of the cats away, the other finally having been brought down. This caused some puzzlement on the part of the group. Flook Dingle Jag had been blasting away at the creature only to find that his spells were having no effect on the creature. The cat and mouse fight continued with neither side having much effect on the other although Lothar continually felt his well being being threatened and he began to accumulate damage on him. Nuna missed a save and was thrown into the future but came back the next round.

The fight continued with both sides depleting their resources, finally the creature made a final disappearance and failed to return. The stormcrows caught their collective breathe and began to heal…
