General Summary

PCs freed Belobog, after infiltrating the Stoirmkeep, and the Archives of Stoirmhaefen. Caerdwyn was seen yet again, in the archives, he offered to help the PCs in the library with knowledge. He then opened flaming portals and went to the scattered party, that was in-cohesive, and brought them together, and to the front of the prison. He waited outside while the party went in, and quickly found Belobog, freeing him... Upon speaking with Belobog, they heard and felt the thundering barrage of a newly arrived fleet shooting what could be only assumed as highly advanced Arcanite Cannons, that arced directly up from the ships, and went over the towering walls of Stoirmhaefen.
They went outside the prison, to see Caerdwyn talking with a man, a commander of the guard. The guard quickly turned to them, and asked for help. The help he wanted was to find an ancient temple, which was said to hold ancient Varl relics, hopefully powerful enough to fend off the assault. He led the party up the walls to see the fleet, while Caerdwyn agreed to portal Belobog to somewhere safe.
Atop the walls, they saw a fleet filling the Strait of Vetyris. Metal-shod ships, belching black clouds, sat in the strait. The aforementioned projectiles raining up and into the city, wreaking havoc. The commander told the PCs of his hope, and that Caerdwyn, the man he was speaking to, would hopefully help take them to the temple.
Nehyr Ryhen, at this point, decided it'd be better to try to summon a "Fire Kraken", the power of the Veil surged within him, but he ended up summoning something else. This beast of sorts, slew him in an instant, nearly decapitating him, and ripping his chest open from the sternum.
Caerdwyn reappeared after that, and then took the party through his flaming portal. They arrived in a cold, ancient temple-esque building, that was slowly being consumed by the void and Source. They could see nebulous energy through the holes and fallen fragments of the construction.
Caerdwyn was gone however.
They continued on, finding many Cosmic Spawn within the various rooms in the hallways, as well as strange relics, cloaks, whistles, and more... Eventually they stumbled upon a room with a sarcophagus, glowing with dark, purple and red, energies. Upon touching the sarcophagus, a being revealed itself from the sarcophagus, the same that killed Nehyr, who by the way, seemed to still be around, although in a mutilated form, suggesting the group was in the Veil. A fight broke out, the group began to see they were doing very little to the monster, Voidwoken Deeper-Dweller , then they realised the beast was connected to the energies of the sarcophagus, and began to destroy it. Using magic to lessen the defensive field around the sarcophagus, they cracked the vulnerable nexus, and then blew into the now weakened Voidwoken Deeper-Dweller . They won the fight.
They continued on, until they found a large room, with an astrolabe-style artefact. At its foot lay a bloodied corpse, who upon investigation turned out to be Kruszik . The group decided to heal him (Except for Ghaznaziik who randomly wanted to kill him). He awoke, pulled out 2 strange pistol-like weapons, and spoke terrifiedly about a creature that had chased him, and how they've got to get out.
Looking at the artefact, the group saw there was a figure inside, but could not determine what it was, it could have been another Voidwoken Deeper-Dweller.
