The Battle of Leviva

Military action

The party ascended via a secret stair to the very top of Leviva Plateau, where they were to begin a ritual that would cleanse the town of the Order of the Twilight Knights. However, they found the town in chaos, in fighting having seemed to have broken out between the Order, and Dark Chief Rikke, who had initially been helping them. The party ended up caught in the midst of a three way fight, with knights on one side, and Rikke's troops on the other. Things became more complex still when the wizard Cruthers, a known member of the Cult of the Seven-Headed Dragon, appeared, and summoned an earth elemental to help him.   The party held fast and, as Straadmere completed the ritual, managed to kill their old foes Rikke and Cruthers, with the Ever-Wyrm momentarily possessing Straadmere to ensure that Rikke's soul did not escape again. The ritual was finished, and a huge portal opened atop Leviva, out of which began to pour a raging torrent of acid.
