Viper's Base
18th of Irami’el 1245 AE
Janos Dorivas made it clear that most of the Crystal Vipers were members of a cult which Janos had been trying to get rid of for quite some time. Although he did not belong to it’s members himself he devised a plan to take over from within by using members he recruited for his cause. The recent attack on the Shadow Fangs was the ideal moment for Janos execute his plan. The group tought they seemed dangerous for the region as well and agreed to help him attack the base if they were allowed to take any loot.
The adventurers attacked the base of the Crystal Vipers aided by Janos Dorivas and his companions. Once they arrived they noticed that most of the hideout had already been cleared out by the forces of Janos. However once the group traveled deeper into the base they found that their allies were falling like flies thanks to one creature. A fierce fire elemental in the form of a snake blocked their passage. The fight that ensued was hard with several party members going down and many almost falling victim to the flames. Afterwards the base was free of the cult but Arkud Bloodgrip was nowhere to be found. It appeared the leader of the Aphosis cult managed to escape through a magic portal in his office.
Together with Hideo they decided to travel to the hidden temple, the most likely place for the remainder of the cult to be hiding. The adventurers would have to travel deeper into Vamena forest to the ruins of the ancient Avaronian City of Vamerilth.
