Session 4: When Last We Met... 9/12/22
General Summary
When last we left off, The party awoke from their later long rest in the middle of the night to pursue their next quarry: The banshee.
They made a stop off at the temple of pelor where they convinced its prior, Wendell to help their cause to which he supplied them with 5 holy waters. After further persuasion by Mistral, He was convinced to part with a scroll of moonbeam which Ivyre claimed.
From there they made their way into Hagswood, a vile, desolate swamp oozing with malevolent dread and dark forces.
They moved as quietly as they could but were none the less spotted by a coven of Hags. They traded information on the Banshee's whereabouts for items that held religious significance to the party. Tensi reluctantly parted with her pendant of Kord and the coven pointed them in the right direction. Laughing mockingly at how easy they got one of them to forsake their god. Tensi however, viewed it as a sacrifice to help her friends, which is of utmost esteem for the Storm Lord.
From there the party spotted an incorporeal light floating in the distance. It blinked out and seemed to head in the direction of the Banshee.
The party eventually found the creature weeping in a clearing. They attempted to catch her by surprise, but she sensed their presence and knew they were coming. Combat broke out and the party, seeming to have learned from their previous battle fought with a never before seen cohesion and managed to take down this spectral horror. But not before she let out a cursed wail which brought Romaia, Tensi, and Vendread to death's door. Arcturus invoked his holy wrath and delivered the killing blow to the Banshee and from there the Will-o-Wisps fled into the swamp. After the last mournful wail of the banshee echoed off, the party regrouped, Stabilizing their allies, and returned back to Birchnod.
They took refuge in the house they stayed at the previous night and bedded down for a well deserved rest. Their sleep was haunted by troublesome dreams wherein they saw themselves in a battle with a horde of demons and losing themselves entirely. Encountering then some titanic entity wreathed in darkness that asked them to join him. The party awoke with a start and that's where we'll pick up next time!
