Session 58

Gwenda
The people under the horrible creature’s control snapped out of it, and we did what we could to heal and support the survivors. While they were being mind-controlled, they thought we were working with the necromancer, so they trusted the creature and fought against us. Now I understand why all those waves of people were after us. They lost so many. It was heartbreaking to watch as people found their dead family members. I couldn’t help but think of Chauncey, Byurish, Lomdi, and Alana. But I also knew I couldn’t afford to feel my sadness. This was the time to be strong for them.

We took whatever we thought might be useful from the corpse of the actual necromancer then found our way back to the surface. We went up in groups on the crane, which proved to be difficult to operate. We made it back topside to be greeted with a winter storm. We meant to rest for the night in one of Rainier’s nifty domes, but we had an unexpected guest. Ally arrived with intent to build a portal. I didn’t know those could exist until today, and now I’ve seen two. Once the smart and strong ones set it up, a priestess came through with food for the people, and a blue-scaled dragonborn, woman with black robes, and some others came with medical supplies. Torm, thank you for your protection, and for being able to see the light of day again!
