Score: 216 | 07/06/19 |
Day 13 (morning)
As the party approach, a guard runs up and many of the Eventide run towards the gates, leaving very few guards.
The party enter the Temple and begin to look around. They find little suspicious.
Elnorin notices a set of tapestries depicting the arrival of the Shadar-Kai.
- The first shows the Queen of Ravens and her 13 followers
- The second shows the Queen of Ravens opening a portal and letting the Shadar-Kai through
- The third shows Ashok standing before the Raven Queen, handing masks to the Shadar-Kai
- The fourth shows the Shadar-Kai teaching the masses
During this time Ruric Ironfoot, Braith and Heskan spoke with a junior priestess, a Shadowborn. She was wary of the armed travellers and, after she mentioned the Archives, she goes to fetch Ilvani (a senior cleric) to hear Ruric's request.
Ruric makes some slightly unsubtle comments about the One Eyed Lady, that results in Ilvani saying that they should know the price if they are followers. Talks break down and she fetches the remaining guards.
The party refuse to surrender, Ruric raises the river up and diverts it into the temple. He loses control of the spell but it doesn't stop the water from knocking many of the guards down. He creates a fog cloud to flee harm.
Heskan slays Ilvani in the fog with two large thunder claps. This brings Ashok from his quarters with more guards.
A second fight ensues. Flame Strikes and Blade Barriers whirl but, eventually, Namhias is summoned. Towards he end of the fight, Ashok charms Namhias. Braith kills Ashok before the party subdue Namhias. Ruric, Heskan and Elnorin leave via boat whilst Braith slips into the town, attempting to get to Arinet and Bankanir.
