Story 10/3/2020

The session started off with the group having just defeated the Topaz Dragon Noskrothintur. While analyzing the Kianarack (the spell scroll), they had just found, they realized it was impossible the read. The letters would continually jumble themselves up, and Erevan determined it was magically protected in some way.

Lunashe put on the Serevictus, and when looking at the scroll realized it had some sort of price to pay in order to read it. Aeowyn did the same, and with her special connection to Ecrozahr, realized that the scroll was demanding a soul to be captured within in order to unlock.

Aeowyn decided that it would be right for her soul to be captured within, knowing that while she wouldn't be dead, it would be some time before the group could free her. The group said their farewells for now to her, and Lunashe agreed to pay 100g per year in order to ensure her tree was well kept near Iym Nalore. She was absorbed and trapped in the scroll, which suddenly revealed it's message:

At the dawn of a new age, heroes saved us all

Might, magic and sword, their story had hit a wall

Writ unto the tomes of old, a message from another time

A lens through which to see the truth, an ancient and heinous crime

A basin holds the life of each, taken fresh and without waste

The cap of knowledge knows no bounds, and must be used with haste

These words are burned, forever lost

By the vice of men, whence it reach exhaust

The shield of mortals, must cover the score

In the great city that stands no more

The group pondered the words for a bit, and realized that is was somehow referring to the Ecrozahr artifacts. Parts of it seemed to make sense, and other parts were a complete mystery. Klon did a quick ritual to try and send the dragon's body to the Raven Queen.

They eventually decided to move on, and while leaving the area a cave in happened behind them, cutting

them off from returning to the dragon's lair. They started to quicken their pace, and eventually were met with 16 dragonborn and Sekuja, the orc from the Orange Robe Crew with the double great-axes!

She was furious with them since they defeated her at the L'Boontian mansion, and brought a squad of goons to try and kill the group. She wasn't up for much negotiation, and eventually attacked.

The dragonborn formed a tight phalanx which gave them massive resistances to movement effects and area attacks, but the group rained hell on them anyways. A wall of fire, and insect swarm, 2 mountains, multiple lightning bolts, a hellish rebuke and a flying juggernaut of the Raven Queen later, and all lay dead. Khaelis took a massive beating in the process, and Shalara took some damage as well, but the group was victorious.

Sekuja turned to dust much like Carmina had, but where her body lay, a sharpening stone for her axes remained. It was a fairly normal stone, albeit high quality, and it had an orange skull, sickle and branch engraved on it. The group also found 1000g, a note from Desmond instructing her not to attack the group, and instead head to Gawalo because "the gambler is no longer safe". They also found a set of tattoo ink that would summon the Infernal Imposter...
