Horizon Walker

Having rested up, Kendell and Dev go to the large skeleton on the throne. Runs across it tells the story of a king of storms, the last great king, a great dragon slayer. Kendell calls out to it, introducing them, and its head turns towards them, thanking him.

The giant asks what they are called and Kendell repeat their names. Salix realizes that the Giant wants to know their group name. They debate this for a while, before it finally decides to call them the heroes of Lagmore, since that's what this place is called (Kendell translates Lagmore to mean 'home' in Giant). He tells them to return when they have a name, and he will give them their final treasure.

The four friends climb their way out of the ruins and hunt down some dinner. Kendell and Dev go off into the woods, collecting firewood and Kendell detects a portal. He tells Dev about the dream that he had, and that he has to go check this portal out.

Dev rushes back to camp, panicked, and tells Salix that Kendell needs her help. The three of them hurry back toward Kendell. Kendell comes to a large clearing, finding a dark crimson red portal, with several devils around it. He shoots an arrow past them into the woods. Two of them fly to investigate, while the third stays there. Kendell steps out to engage the final demon, managing to slay it.

The other two demons return to the clearing, swooping in to attack Kendell. As they are attacking him, the other 3 arrive to help. Kendell and Dev get knocked unconscious, and one of the creatures flies through, but Kyrie heals Kendell, who manages to finish the other off. Salix runs up and grabs one of the stones of the portal, throwing it against a tree and breaking it.

The group examines the devils, which are Spine Devils. These are messengers for more powerful devils. Kendell manages to harvest some eyes and spines from them. Dev sketches some pictures of the portal and the devils. They wonder who opened the portal, but decide it's best for them to get out of there for the time being.

In camp that night, Salix makes up several health potions. Kendell carves up the turkey, and gives a leg to Dev. He asks to see the drawings they made, and, as he's looking at it, a figure steps into their camp. He introduces himself as Sentinel, and says that he's looking for the Horizon Walker. Kendell introduces himself, and the others. Kendell shows him the drawings of the portal, and he recognizes the runes as infernal.

Kendell asks him if he had the dream too, but he doesn't seem to know what Kendell is talking about. Kendell tells him and the rest of the group about it. Salix begs him to stay together with the group next time. Sentinel agrees with her, and gives him a book which will help him learn Infernal. Sentinel also acknowledges Kyrie, asking if they plan to stay on this plane permanently. He sees Salix' tattoos and seems surprised that a druid of the Evertree Glade has left it. He says that he owes them a favor, and that the four of them can call that favor in too, if they like. He then takes his leave.

The group discusses Sentinel after he leaves, realizing that he has Asimaar blood. Salix tells Kyrie that she thinks they should go ahead and look at the book, but wants them to think very hard about what is the right thing to do with that knowledge. Kyrie tells her that if she ever feels the need to stop them, not to hesitate.
