The team has learned a number of Hobgoblins along with goblins, bugbears, and worgs have allied with the cult of the dragon and successfully summoned/allied with an aspect of Tiamat as well as several devils and undead in preparation for some massive invasion. So far the target of the invasion as well as the location of the forces set to attack have remained elusive.

The next session will begin with the Adventurers gathered at the Ashthorn Manor in Daerlun where they will be met by agents of the Harpers, Explorers, Ravens, and Sigil. Concern over the recent discovery has spread among the various protective agencies who desire more information on the forces and their target. Sembian and Cormyran forces are also concerned and while using their own scouts would appreciate information characters recover. Soldiers will be pulled back to defend major cities until the target can be identified more clearly, and the leaders are confident it is not a diversion.

The party went to Daerlun to make magic items and returned better equipped for an assault on the Keep. Lizard Men manned the defenses of the castle complicating the advance.

The party battled the Goblins and rats, managing to recover Manchira. The goblins retreated into the underdark burning the bridge behind them and taking their treasure, but leaving the prisoners. In the fighting Dalth was knocked unconscious.

Working their way back to the surface the party encountered a gelatinous cube and after some infighting that resulted in Zohr being trapped into the cube the party defeated it. Dalth was left for dead after the fight with the Cube and the rest of the party returned to the surface.

After getting the award for the rescue Manchira left the party although a Goliath Fighter named Lo-Kath wanted to join. A rumor that a keep was up for grabs if the monsters could be cleared from it sent most of the party towards Battlerise village while Ricardo rode to Wheloon to confirm the rumor.

Halfway to Monk’s Blade the party was ambushed by a dozen orcs, but made quick work of them and continued on. On the night of the second day they pulled into Battlerise and stabled the animals before looking for a shelter to use as a base/resting place.

Choosing the Southside Tavern they went to investigate and were greeted by several undead . . .

Session Award 1500 XP

The party battled the Otyugh and found the ranger’s body before returning to the surface.

They sent the Mage (Math) back to town with the rangers body and returned to the dungeon where they fought more Kobolds and made their way up to the Goblin barricade and fought with Goblins.

Manchira charged into the goblin chambers summoning Dire Rats on a magic whistle before falling . . .

Session Award 1500 XP

All the part members got together near the entrance to the dungeon. After working on a wall with a pick for a while, battling rats, and even kobolds they discovered a fountain with a dose of potion of Fire Breath and managed to get gassed.

We left off with the group getting ready to enter a room where it appeared a member of the former party died.
