### Detailed Write up

The party enters the burrning hills from the Savannah. Ellie expertly guides us across the the molten landscape but Bea sees a strange stone stucture covered with bassalt on our trek. Kel'soveen sends his familair through a tiny crack in the bassalt and he finds a mausoleum with an oaken staff pericing a Jar raised in the center. The party fails to identify anything of the item save it is magic and they begin the break into the the structure. once exposed Fiona uses mage hand to pull the staff out releasing a nouxiois cloud of necrotic energy. The pary feeling foolish for such an obvious trap moves deeper into the burning hills searching for moxuk's lair.

We came across a massive hole in the ground extending deeper than than we could see Fiona sends her familair down and find the pit is hundreds of feet deep lined all the way with sharp obsidian glass. kel'soveen asks to search for a magma xorn and Bea soon finds one with locate creature. Kel lures it to the surface with coins but the Xorn gose after Kel insted. Kel quickly captures it in his flask and the party returns to the pit. on our way we descover a vein of silver that we partly excvate before we return to face moxuk. Bea indisark and ellie get in bags of holding which kel flys down the hole while parsnip and Fiona climb after cuting their hands on the obsidian spikes.

Kel'soveen touches down and begins to gininpull bea out of the bag when an obsidian elemntal attacks. Bea quickly handels it while kel'soveen and the creature blows miss eacho ther. Fiona and parsnip telport to the bottom as Kel'soveen pulls out the last of the party members. The party moves deeper into the cave finding lava flows held back by magical barriors. Kel'soveen still flying moves forward to investgate the lava flow flying strait into Moxuk. Ellie and Bea join to try to negotate but Moxuk breathed a ploom of boiling acid instantly kncoking kel out. Ellie jumped onto Moxuks back while Bea gave Kel a healing potion and moved to engage. Moxuks chains became etherial as he flew around the vast chamber. kel released the captured xorn who atempted to climb up to the dragon but failed. Parsnip stuck the dragon with a powerful moon beam driving him away as Fiona and bea telported onto Moxuks back. Moxuk stuck at kel'soveen leaving his body floating in the air as Elies and beas blows rained down. FInaly Moxuk warned his death would kill us all. Indisark said we could just talk leaving none dead and kel'soveen droped his focus to show we wanted peace. Parsnip ket the powerful moon beam up ready to slay moxuk if he betrade us. Moxuk dove for him leaving parsnip close to dead but the moon beam struck finishing Moxuk. the etherial chains shattered and we could see lava begining to flow into the chamber. we hurried to an Iron door and used the nexus key to unlock it.

Inside we found a comefertable chamber carved out by a desintigate spell with freash food. we searchevsible d around looking for inhabitans but saw none. then three invisble foes struck. Fiona illuminated one a dwarf as another an elf stuned parnsip and kel with a furry of blows and a third became visble summonig a spirtial weapon, this last one was known to the compact Trachalla. Bea quickly overpowered the Elf monk who mechanicly stuck no life within her eyes, Ellie and indisark engaged Trachalla whos body still breathed despite being devioed of emotion. A wall of fire sliced through the midle of the chamber knocking out parsnip and kel. Fiona stuck the Dwarf who cast the spell weakining him enough for ellie to lay the finishing blow. Bea took out the monk and rushed over to slay Trachalla riping into her throat with burning fangs
