Session 92

The party continues their exploration of Nox's False Lair. They enter a duel with a Death Knight and reunite with a surprise ally. 
== Summary ==
The party entered a room full of cultists, large and circular. There is a large dragon skull at the north and south points of the room, and a large shaft rising to the sky above. The cultists, led by Cothuum, attack the party, using wind to attempt to blow people into the sky, where dragons fly above. One of the enemies turned out to be Carden, who is playing as a double agent after being captured by the party during their confrontation with Anghadym. He heals Belle and becomes non-hostile. As the party finishes off the enemies, a new enemy approaches. A tall armored figure, who extends his hand toward Sors and Teer. White light pulses within the dead Cothuum, which then leaves his body and arcs toward the figure. The figure crushes the light in his hand, then two white pinpoints of light glow briefly in his eyes before fading. He then points at Teer in challenge, who receives it. The figure creates a wall of bone to ensure that the duel cannot be interrupted. 
As the party attempts to break through the bone wall. Meanwhile, the Death Knight introduces himself as Anvuraak, and the duel begins. Kiono Dimension Door's Belle to the other side of the bone wall while Sors and Esteem continue to whack at it. In attempting to aid Teer, Anvuraak casts Implosion on Belle, instructing her to leave or perish. The entire party, having made it through to the other side, reluctantly stand down and allow the duel to continue without further interruption. Eventually, Anvuraak knocks Teer down to near-unconsciousness. He picks up Dragvandil, examines it, then drops it before leaving. 
Carden has a secluded camp that he leads the party to for a quick rest. Pronza contacts them and lets them know that they had found an alarm system, so they could either set them off as a distraction or turn them off entirely. The party then takes a short rest.
