Session 37

The party decided to spend some time finishing and repairing the machine that was somehow connected to Ephemera. To do so, they had to travel to another part of the Shadowfell for ingredients.
== Summary ==
The party traveled through the Needlegrove to reach a place where shadows pooled. They gathered several vials of the shadow and destroyed several enemies while there. They returned to the tower, and Kiono completed and activated the machine there. It shot a light into the air, and a creature of darkness appeared then. It took the form of Ephemera and attacked them. Anyone who attacked the dark Ephemera had a dark version of themself created. Ephemera chose to instead hug the entity, believing it to be the Dark, an entity that had fled eons earlier. The creature calmed down and admitted that it was that being. He apologized for the trouble he had caused her in the past and asked how he could make up for it. She didn't have an answer, stating that the only thing she really needed help with at the time was with the asteroid. The Dark agreed to help with that and disappeared. Akaros then revealed that he was once again capable of communicating with the party properly.
