However, the spirit ends up escaping.   Eventually, one by one the squad finally regroups into town, and starts to collect intel about whats all going on. Also they meet the very sociable Lord of Ravenclaw, Lord Kadrian Fearmont. Iris, Trinity, and Ricardo get lost a bit on there way, but they finally catch up with everyone. They all "debrief" on all what has transpired over the last 48 hours to each other.   The leads are suggesting that Caleb is held up in a tower of his old home, Castle Fyrestone, and the group proceeds to frantically find their missing friend. Upon arriving at the castle they noticed a Drow, named Kaali, that is peering within the Estate. Within moments of meeting her a dark malicious voice echoes through everyone's head and draws everyone into battle by animating all the ornate Gargoyles hanging alongside the castle. Jelxi, gloriously shames a Gargoyle into dust, as the group finishes them all off.   Upon finally entering the estate, Nuut starts off by splitting the group and is welcomed by bones and a friendly fancy rug. When everyone starts breaking through windows, the spirits that are being forced to protect this place are awakened. Spirits like, wraith warriors, ghosts, and poltergeists all get sent back to the shadow by Tripel6, but this only the beginning.   Upon exploring the massive castle, some of the members split off to look for the recently missing Ricardo. Without alerting the rest of the party, the members of Iris, Roth & Althea run off to find themselves surrounded by the armor, the ones they cautiously walked by earlier, as they start to animate into battle.....   (16th - 19th of The Fading, 1284 of the Second Era)

However, they discover that Caleb has left the party in pursuit of his own interests in his old hometown of Ravenclaw. Jelxi and Nuut sensing that Caleb is gonna be in immediate danger, they act fast, and leave Havenspire following Calebs footsteps.   Later that day, as Caleb finds his way into his childhood town, he discovers that there is a true eerie presence that has overcome Ravenclaw.

That next day back in Ravenclaw, Jelxi and Nuut finally catch up to Caleb and discover that Calebs Direwolf, "Ice", is circling the church. They proceed to investigate as sneakily as they can, but Jelxi alerts Gabriel, who seems like a very docile priest. However, the moment she mentions Calebs last name, all Hell breaks loose. Also Nuut finds info about the strange happenings.   At the same time in Freeport, the group receives a raven that Caleb has ran off to Ravenclaw alone, and Althea burst into immediate action, and wants to leave Freeport in search of Iris's "God-Born", Ricardo Menzhel.

The remaining crew at Fenren was either training, crafting, or "getting to know their employees better". As well as a possible person of "Iris's Visions" is invited to be protected by the group, mainly Iris. The half-elf, Trinity, is blatantly not trusted and like by some of the members.   After four days, the group finally decides to come together to make their way to the Capitol city.

It almost caused a quarrel in front of Havenspire Castle guards. Eventually, the rest of the group came to their senses, and let her in. Meeting the King of Cambryia was nerve-racking for the party. However, the King has heard of the deeds from other Lords, travelers, and the commonfolk, and let them into the Lords Alliance with a swear of fealty to Cambryia. After the public hearing the Kings court was cleared, and the remaining time was spent on the discussion of the "Book".

For the first time ever, the party started showing tactics over blunt force. Jelxi screaming a horrifying reverberating scream down the massive hole that laid in the center of the ritual chamber, and a elemental Inferno Spider comes crawling out of its lair to play with its prey. However, the spider didn't expect to be alone in this feeding frenzy, and it was too late when the molten arachnid realized it needed to flee. The group proceeded to obliterate the spider.   More very effective tactics within the party started to shine through which made a challenging ritual for most was quite easy for Tripel6.

During the interview, "Lilly's" true motives are foil by Nuut, her intended target, as an full fledged Assassin's assassin, a Bounty Hunter of Bhaal.

When they enter the manor, within minutes kobolds and cultists attack the group while the adventurers see Kris Archer flee with a black and green scaled dragon egg. Along with his followers that were performing the ritual into the house. Iris finds a secret torch lever that opens a secret compartment in one of the towers that has a passage to a basement. Upon entering the basement the group discovers a Dragon Cult Shrine and Kris Archers underground workshop. With no cultist in sight, they look for another way out. Althea naturally feels a strong breeze coming from the wall mural. The party quickly finds the secret passage, and levers that opened a underground tunnel. They ran into Kris Archers personal stash of exotic items like the Vhanvidarian Wine that is illegal to be owned outside Vhanvidar, for example.   Eventually the group finds themselves in an underground chasm where they run into two more kobolds on a stone bridge where confusion and cowardliness led to the kobolds undoing. Unable to stick around to investigate for their assailants are on the run the group manages to find a letter for Kris Archer & a scroll for Jonas the Fanatic. They finally find the end to the cave and smell the salty sea air and morning dew. The crack of dawns leads the party on a trail to road where they run into seemingly real guards this time on their way to Archers Festival....       1st- 2nd of Highsun 1284 of the Second Era

Session Zero: "Party Crashers"

The groups meets each other for the first time, enjoying themselves at a nice Mid-Summer Festival Hosted by Nobleman Kristoven Archer. Alcohol, Pipeweed, and Jesters all around with good hardy folk.   Shortly after Lord Kristoven tells the announces of his wife going into labor, he rushes off to his manor. Absolutely everyone believes him and the crowd erupts with joy. The Sun sets, and all hell breaks loose. 7 kobolds boldly attempt to ambush the free folk that are gathered by the roaring bonfire. The group quickly dispatches them. Althea showing her monk might with an insane 1, 2 punch, killing one. Iris chaotically obliterates three of the kolbold cultists. Caleb Ignites his short sword he received from the jester to slay one of the cultist. As well as Roth running around a corner to crossbow down a fleeing kobold, shooting the reptilian through the heart. Markos knocks the last remaining kobold cultist, that they know of, out with cold sleep spell.       The guards just stood by and watched.       The group discovers, aided by Osledan, that the kobold cultist have a magically enchanted bracer on their elbows that controls the bearer with a command word, by the master. As well as crude freshly made arrows, indicated the material came from a swamp / moor. The kobold awakens to be tied up and threatened with a dagger. Mhikos, the kobold, told the group about his master, and how he has to return to the church.   Caleb discovers that guards cant be trusted. The group throws Mhikos into the Giant Barrel of Ale to hold him.       The party decides to crash into church Ninja Turtles-style, trying catch the robed cultist by surprise. Turns out, there is a fanatic waiting for them...       (Midsummer, 1284 of the Second Era)
