Moving on to Bane (the actual plot)

Life, Milestone

The party, having defeated Reginald Wilhelm and his pet reaper decide to start repairing Flitwick as they wait for Rennuin and the payment they are owed for the work they've completed in Chilldamned for him.   Meanwhile, Aliana gets in touch with the party and starts to plan an escape... no longer willing to wait for the harbingers to come to her she instead decides to escape while there is no real threat in the Wilhelm mansion.   When Aliana returned introductions were made and the party moved across to Bane in their largest numbers yet. They came across a misty lake that changed their magic to make it effectively useless that, upon crossing, they realised was being controlled by an aboleth that began to attack their party with its swarms of minions. During the confusion montegue was dominated and teleported away by a robed masked figure leaving the party to deal with the creature.   The party destroyed the Aboleth... though Lux was killed in the process... This forced Aliana to use her first revivify diamond to resurrect Lux and the party took their rest in bane as the members are all forced to make wisdom saves... Cassius also NARROWLY avoided contracting aboleth's disease as well. Luckily Faith's dome of protection kept the party hidden and protected while they did not have Montegue to cast Leomund's tiny hut.   That night the party slept through the first arcane storm in Bane and woke up to make wisdom saving throws... with only cassius and Lux gaining points of corruption in the process.   The next day the party were attacked by a Remorhaz, a demonic, snake-like creature that burrowed and hunted the party. It killed Cassius during the combat and Aliana had to cast revivify on him as well. Increasing both of their DC's.   The end of that night they found a small cemetary belonging to a tiefling named Phehiri who seems to have turned the area into a burial ground for lost bodies who have perished in the forest. She offered them sanctuary for a night and protection from the wilds as well as some answers on her time in the Light hiding away and explaining that she knew nothing of what happened to Elias but that another ally of his, Rezir, was still a part of the resistance.   The party continued the next day and, after a fire giant burglary attempt, the corruption of cassius and Lux settling into their behaviours and a cloud of Bane's watchers almost killing the party in a chase they escaped the forest and found themselves heading towards the Orikian mansion.

The party spend the next few days after the battle for Flitwick holding funerals, honouring the dead and reconnecting with the living. Lux spends her time reconnecting with and caring for Noctis who is constantly tired but every night will get up as though not noticing Lux, wander off into Faiths forest and tears at the scabs on her skin muttering to herself the whole time. Cassius starts a drinking habit as the temple to Tyr grows in followers looking to offer their faith and trust to the man who sent them Cassius.   Montegue buys toy butlers and discovers a hand in a blood soaked draw of Endeg's arsenal.   Red kills Endeg in a blacked out rage after Endeg took his firearms.   Faith holds a funeral for fluffles and works on rebuilding flitwick.   The party met Rennuin and his allies where they were paid but he was unwilling to listen to them reason with him, still blaming them for the death of Caelynn though he offered them a chance to join the sleepless and 'force change' with him.   After this the party had more downtime as Red hired a boat for Aliana and she made her way to the town of Flitwick to plan for thier next move.
