Session X: Cap, Ring and Stem Report

General Summary

Adventurers stayed in Gvaed for two days, talking with leader of Witcher organization - Raven.

Gvaed

When Florence left the party and started minding his own business.
The rest of group was spending their free time at the keep, finding more information about Ratfolks, now called Vezkun, about the great world-changing event and their personal goals - as where Gleipnyr can find his master - in the depths of Middledark at the border with Lowerdark. Crossroad between Cities.

Travelling in Underdark

When adventurers found hidden and lost long entrance with medailon given to them by Raven, they were able to fall into the Underdark. After several miles of falling, they started their journey in the neverending caves.
During their travels, they discovered several corpses, later founding that these dead duergars are probably result of Drow rampage and slavery. They've also encountered floating mantra ray, that attacked them. They also found weird walking brain, that entered Alarion's body, taking control of it. They also encountered mad doomsayer Dwarf. They also encountered weird stone in a ground, shinning with raw magic, almost hurting Gleipnyr on touch, probably only because this day were Winds of Magic quite weak.

Land of Myconid

After entering great land of Myconids, they were welcomed by group of 10 Myconids. They offered adventurers save passage and also offered them "Melding" - way to share emotions, memories and feelings. Everyone found what they needed, their personal interests as well as direction towards party goal.

Vaxoltanol

The great Brass Gate of the city was closed and adventurers were denied the entry, unless they provide rare work of art, magical item or interesting technology the city doesn't already have. Adventurers couldn't provide such an item so they left, hoping to find another way how to get to the city. They also felt under time pressure because of their favourite bard Equin Londo being currently at the city.

Camp of All Races

On the otherside of the mountain, there is large camping site with hundreds of campers being encamped here. Adventurers were interested and engaged in conversations with them. Orcs were not really that friendly, but their shaman tought them how to channel the Winds of Magic in exchange for knowledge of the place where raw magic was condensated. Duergars asked the group to join them on their travel towards Dungenhostar, which should be large city in Middledark. Bugbears told them their plans in enslaving goblins but was denied by adventurers. Goblins on the other hand were planning how to get inside the city across the City of Dead, however they were also denied. Lone Hobgoblin Zrorg was accepted in the party, as he was quite potent caster and capable of great help. Adventurers provided him with gear and spellcasting focus and he later proved as quite worthy. Wood Elfs proved to be Embernam merchants attacked by Viper's group. They were promised that the adventurers will help them in getting back to the surface when the time comes. Dwarfs from Dol'Gur also escaped from Viper's group, now just chilling in the underdark planning their way back to the surface when they were betrayed by Aldurians. Last, Shadar-Kai Elella found common goal with the party - retrieve something from the City of Dead.

Quel Anather

With the help of Elella, they've found their way inside the city. First they decided to visit the Sil'Qua - ancient library. On their way they've met ghosts, simply wondering in the city streets, ignoring them. When they reached the library, they were free in exploring. However, later weird warlock named Nezgrul'zod showed up, trying to find out more about the Winds of Magic that are affecting all casters. They did not found what they were looking for, so they decided to visit the Al'Tanore - old temple or cathedral that was dedicated to Raven Queen. They found the High Priestess still guarding this place, infuriated that they want to take something away from this place, she attacked the adventurers. When they killed her, only book and small crown left. Elella took the book and left the party. This crown was later used by Delru and he found out that it is capable of bringing 3 dead people from their grave every day.

Elella

When the adventurers left the Quel Anather, they visited Elella once more. Florence tried to magicly subdue her to reveal her secrets, which suceeded and he found out that his sword was made not far from here by her people in city Isanel. However, when the spell disappeared, she attacked him with furry. Almost killing him on the spot, taking the sword as legacy of her people.
