Narrative

We begin as the party meets again, all together after a long absence. Everyone returns from their adventures changed, more or less, and eager to be reunited. Over the campfire, the party tells their stories.

Lastlight Falls Dunmar Side

Delwath speaks of how he found himself in the Deno’qai forests in the far north, a land once known as the Forest of Dreams, but now called the Forest of Nightmares as it was cursed during the Great War against Cha’mutte. Traveling with the Stoneborn paladin Aristaea Mountainhands, and the Deno’qai wildfire druid Iascaire, Delwath sought to restore the lost tanshi trapped by Cha’mutte’s evil on the battlefields of the Great War.

Riswynn speaks of her adventures, and apologizes for vanishing. After grabbing the Chalice of the Runepriest, she found herself in Heart of the Mountain, the realm of the dwarven gods. Here, she met other Dwarves summoned to fulfill a debt to the Barahzel: Thror Redpeak, a storm sorcerer; Rothfis Stonefist, a bartender and monk;  and Merash Emberfoot, a smith and warrior. Together, they investigated the Shadowfell realm of Morkalan and uncovered the tragic story of the loss of the Chalice in the years after the Great War.

Kenzo speaks of his time in the jungles of the Lizardfolk, far to the east, in the Lizardfolk kingdom of Orekatu. Here, he learned about the spiritual realms from the spirit guide Elazar, who told him of a place, called the Footprint of the Gods, where the borders between planes are thin. With the Lizardfolk druid Izarrak and their guide, Enari, Kenzo traveled to the Footprint of the Gods to seek out whatever was disrupting the balance of the planes and allowing destructive elemental power to spill into Taelgar, and restored harmony and balance by healing the wounded spirit creature Motua.

Wellby found himself on the Wave Dancer, a halfling ship in the middle of Green Sea, fleeing from hobgoblin pirates. Eventually docking at the kenku port of Wahacha in the Vermillion Isles, part of the vast, magical chain of islands that separate Green Sea from the ~Eastern Ocean~, Wellby met up with the wizard Artem Novolozek, the kenku monster hunter Rufus, the sea Elves warrior Shoal, and the human sailor and warrior Alimash to seek out raiders who had been kidnapping people from ships in the area. After solving that mystery, Wellby, Alimash, and Shoal headed north to rescue the wizard Arryn the Wanderer, who had vanished from his tower while experimenting with the magic of the Plane of Mirrors.

Seeker found himself in the Feywild, in the domain of the Chanceweaver, the Prince of Luck. At the Chanceweaver’s court, he learned of a wild magic storm on the border of Fortune’s Rest and Shimmersong, and travels with Raven, a fae monk of the Winter Knights of Shimmersong; Spirala Hollytwist a fairy cleric of the light, also of Shimmersong; and Mikasa, a fae samurai to calm the wild magic. After doing so, Mikasa departs for her home, while Raven, Spirala, and Seeker meet the human warrior Caulaus Aportino who guides them to the fey crossing at Lastlight Falls in the ruined abandoned fey realm of Amberglow.

During the conversation, the party reads letters from Tokra and elsewhere, and Delwath reports on the information he has learned from scrying in mid October, late October, and mid November, and from a week spent on the plains of Dunmar. The key facts include:

  • Dunmar is on the bring of civil war: Nayan Karnas has seemingly not spoken to Johar; Havdar is turning bloodthirsty under the sway of a cursed sword; and the Lakan monks have not done anything yet.
  • Kadmos and company, now traveling with a subdued Vola (whether due to mundane or magical coercion is not entirely clear), are crossing Dunmar.
  • Grash is preparing to march east, and soon, with a large army of Orcs and undead, presumably to recover the Cloak of Rainbows which was, according to Govir’s research, lost in a fortification of the Aagir Mystai to the east during the Great War.
  • A man in Ursk named Radomir found a Jade Piece of Rai’s Hand, and it is now apparently in the possession of someone or something called Rodnya Voknaz.

The party decides to first try to restore Hralgar, and then likely head east to attempt to beat Grash to the Cloak of Rainbows.

We end late at night, as the party prepares to look in the mirror and then sleep.
