Rusulka

Arriving in Mito'd Vezhyu, the party recooperates for the day before venturing to the wizard tower in town. There they meet an aarakocra mage who isn't all he seems. However, taking the party into the basement of the tower to the teleportation circle, the party is wisked away hundreds of miles, landing inaccurately on the western slopes of the Volhynia Mountains north of Mountain End.   Unfortunately for them, it seems the war cannot escape them, and striking back at the Veliuonans is in order.

Meeting the wizard that claims his name as "Shorlock" definitely provokes the curious stares of the party. But despite his somewhat deranged attitude, they willingly enter the tower with the intention of being teleported. While most do follow the wizard downward, Jack stealths deeper into the tower, discovering the long dead body of an aarakocra. It turns out that the mage is the night hag from the Lucerne Hills who intends to fling the adventurers headlong into the fires of war once more.   The basement of the tower with the summoning circle has large windows that peer into an immense underground cave where shadowy spires of long forgotten buildings lie hidden and buried. The remains of an ancient Khazar city hidden underground after the cataclysm that brought an end to their empire.   Landing on the slopes of the Volhynia Mountains, the party makes their way westward, coming across force of heavily armored Rusulkans, primed for a battle but holding position, seemingly wary of a threat the enemy poses.
