Session 10: Khuldahar Report
General Summary
October 23rd, 1916 P.M.E, Dhogarhum, Rhun Karaz
The party stands upon Okri's bridge gathering themselves to continue their push toward Khuldahar, the vale of druids. The Djinn that Jordis managed to summon approaches the party explaining that he was trapped in that orb for at least a couple thousand years. He also introduced himself as Zudikhal the Serene hailing from the handhold of Eraqum. He was quite appreciative of being freed and said he'd travel with the party for a little bit, providing assistance here and there. The party grabbed the corpse of their fallen ally, Broldrig, and left Dhograhum through the cavernous exit to the North. Upon leaving the cave they were met with the humid, hot, and dense jungles of Khuldahar. Mores, Khagmadog, and Orimnok started to prepare a grave for Broldrig while the others set up camp for the night. Zudikhal summoned a pile of shovels to help dig in and also conjured a grand feast, fit with the finest of meats, cheeses, ales, and wines.October 24th, 1916 P.M.E, Khuldahar, Runeweald
The party awakens from their rest and travels forth into the jungle. Ezekiel managed to spot three sets of tracks, the party decided to follow the ones heading north. After a couple of hours of bushwhacking, the dense undergrowth opened into a large clearing at the edge of a deep chasm. On the other side of the chasm, there was a large river that flowed into the depths below. Two precarious rope bridges were set to cross the chasm on either side of the river. After some scouting and a lot of discussions, it was decided to take the bridge to the right(east) side of the river. The party asked Zudikhal to carry them across, but he scoffed at the idea of being used as a pack mule and insisted it would be far more entertaining to watch them figure it out on their own. Ezekiel crossed first, a board split beneath his feet, but he managed to hoist himself back up and make it across the remainder of the bridge. Jordis quickly dashed across the bridge, joining Ezekiel. Goswin, Orimnok, and Gotrek traveled across one by one, the bridge held under their weight. Gelmir cast reduce on himself and then casually walked across. Polis and Llobh we're left with the beasts of burden. Ramithorn took one step onto the bridge and it immediately gave way under his weight, leaving Llobh and Ramithorn in freefall. Jordis swiftly reacted by casting feather fall on Ramithorn. Polis then tied a stone to a rope and threw it across to Ezekiel. The remainder of the party was transported across using the rope and the near-weightless Ramithorn. Ezekiel managed to find a second trail on the other side of the bridge which the party followed. It eventually opened into yet another clearing, this time the party found themselves at the base of a dirt path that traveled up a large bluff. Atop the bluff, sat a collection of immensely large trees towering above the vale of Khuldahar, the center tree was particularly large dwarfing those around it. Noting that this was likely the home of the druids, the party asked Zhudikhal to conjure some fine gifts to bring to the druids. He produced a massive pile of fine woodworks. The party grabbed a couple of the nicer pieces and moved onward up the bluff. Upon reaching the top of the bluff they noticed a complex web of bridges, houses, halls, and pathways built within the canopy of the trees. The dirt path was illuminated by lanterns that seemed to be made of small trees sprouting out from the ground, each housing a particularly bright firefly. A couple of robed figures stood at the base of the largest tree. Jordis yelled to greet them, the two figures ran up the stairwell of the tree in response. A short time later. A collection of four massive birds of prey swiftly dove down toward the party. Just before touching the ground, the birds transformed into benevolent elves draped in various robes, animal horns, and branches. One of the four elves stepped forward and introduced himself as Ablad-Arradion. Initially, the conversations were quite unfriendly but after mentioning Kelemor's name. Ablad-Arradion became more open to the presence of the party. Goswin stated the party's business, saying that they are in search of a map of the region so they can find the ancient dwarven city Tiwaz-Katalbuyk. Ablad-Arradion said he will provide the party with a map if they can solve one of his problems. Either bring him the head of the Scarlet Shiekh or find a druid that went missing after traveling to the swampland. The party agreed to these terms on the condition that they can have a place to rest to mend their wounds.
