Session 94 - Haunting Hunts and Counting...

General Summary

Two Clerics, a Wizard, a Ranger and a Arcane Archer enter a bar

The bar is actually the crossfire of the Morning Stars, after a few rounds of combat and a handful of prayers to Khaziba by the incorporeal clerics. The awful bunch are turned to mush, and we progress forward!

Black horse and the cheery tree people

The party splits to two, a reconnaissance group of Roger and Avaras mounted on Greg the hippogriff are scouting the paranormal sized tree north-east to where the battle ended, when a few Elves call them between the branches and ask for identification, replying in Sylvan and Elvish the elves chuckle and ask the two to lower and join them between the branches.
Meanwhile, Remus, Henrie and Friedrich, (Wait where is Max Atlas? is he still with Khilik the Kaviri???) seeing that the opponents they just beat starting to rejuvenate, follow the recon group and head northwards, Friedrich senses a haunt coming from the stable nearby, they enter the stable and Boom!
The three see a group of almost two dozen scared elven children and a elven fighter woman heavily wounded defending the children inside the stable, Henrie talks to the fighter in Sel Quesir and asks of her to let us help them, she agrees right the second when Kadian soldiers reach the door and try to reach in the stable, Henrie and Friedrich jolt to close the door, the soldiers try to push open the door once more as Remus locks the door with arcane means.

Henrie find between the elven children a kid holding a wooden horse toy with a knight sitting on it looking right at him:

" You are a fiend!"
"It is in times like these when soldiers and so-called heroes hunt the innocent,
the fiends are the one that come to actually help"

— The kid and Henries back and forth

Henrie feels something cold in his chest when he looks at the wooden toy and asks the kid to give it to him, the kid gives wooden horse to Henrie, the wooden sword the knight sitting on the wooden horse is then raised and targets Henrie, he gives the wooden horse to Friedrich which senses negative energy radiating from the horse, Friedrich washes the toy horse with positive energy, and murky water comes of the horse. The fighter gifts Henrie an amulet of protection for his help, they smile and dissipate, so does the soldiers Poof!
The three see Greg flying around the big tree ahead of them, they climb the tree massive spiral outer stairs and join Avaras and Roger, Henrie recognizes Adariel, the cleric standing in the middle of the room in the tree, wasn't he a cleric of Corellon, now a cleric of Shevarash. It is quite obvious Adariel doesn't like Henrie and his blood magic capabilities, the party asks to know where the mayor of this town is, Adariel says Lord Elkanon the mayor is somewhere over the river.
Adariel asks the group to help him and his followers with "Protecting" the bridges over the river with magical charms he provides the party, in order to help those behind the bridges in the town and send them to Arborea, Friedrich senses that the haunt is either Adariel or the papers he gives them.

Ten thousand candles in the wind

The magic on the charms Adariel provided seems too strong to not have been able to actually protect the people in the massacre, something seems off and Remus tries to magically erase the writing on the papers and something harms him for trying.
Friedrich takes the papers and asks Soryna to lead the papers where they need to be as he sends them down the river, an angry Demodand rises from the water and summons two extra Demodands, The three try to escape and, Battle starts!
Remus commands the original Demodand not to escape further and starts to shoot spells at him. Avaras succeeds dismissing one of the demodands, Roger and Friedrich focus the third one trying to fly away, Roger plummet from the heavens and drops the Demodand down to the water of the lake and Friedrich hurls spears at the now almost drowning demodand.
The demodand starts to attack Greg, biting a part of neck harming him bad, Henrie sees this, and jump to the waters, grabs Roger and they teleport to Gregs to fend the main demodand off.

The demodand hits Greg again and is ripping the jugular, and Greg unconsciously falls from the skies, Henrie and Roger jump off Greg and try to hit the Demodand that had just killed their companion. the demodand over on the waters starts to curse in Abyssal at Friedrich Avaras and Remus, Remus tries to answer in Infernal which he doesn't understand, and Friedrich replies to the rude fellow back in Abyssal.

"If there are no hippogriffs in Heaven, then when I die, I want to go where they went"
