Episode 74

* Vahlka and Andrith reunite and it's a somewhat tense, pained one. 
* Andrith explains how she was able to get out of Deephold, apologizes to Vahlka, the prophecy, Osyna, and what/where to go from here.
* Vahlka learns that her mother has died, which comes as a surprise.
* Eventually Vahlka and Andy return to the rest of the party and introductions are made.
* Andrith talks about the situation in Tamvrien and the Grindwall occupation there, that it wasn't going terribly but her resources were being tapped. She says how they will need more power in order to make much of a difference, and that people will rally around certain items (she is talking about the Staff of Celestial Devourers specifically in this case).
* The party feels the ground move which startles them. Andrith shows them a distant group of mountains that moves, explaining that it isn't on any maps or gets invaded because it keeps moving around. She says that they're closer to the titans than they think.
* Andrith explains a little about the titanspawn.
* The party decides what to do next. Deacon offers to talk to the sphynxes, everyone wonders why Crow gave Lucius the staff to begin with and the Hand of Vecna, etc. After surprisingly little arguing come to a consensus that they should pursue the lead of finding the other half of the staff.
* Attempting to search for other information regarding the staff, the party goes to search the archives located in the Shaded Valley.
* Olivia finds a otherwise mundane record in the library office (which looks about ~25 years old) about the staff and about a scholar who's been looking for it by the name of Cael Emsworth. Apparently he went around to different places and inevitably took a portal somewhere in the upper planes.
* Lucius manages to find a book about Orcus that is incredibly interesting.
* The party wants to go immediately to the portals but Andrith is the voice of reason and suggests they really do take a few days off. 
* Everyone seems to take Andy's advice by eating dinner and going to the hot springs!
* Vahlka and Barkley split off from the rest who go to a magic shop. They buy several items including a haunted doll and spell components. Lucius attempts to get some information about Cael but to no avail.
* Session ends with Vahlka attempting to get in contact with Nero, via Barkley.
