The group leaves Hirrathak, Mina and Tarhun before heading to the paladin barracks for training. Perra paired off various training partners with both Ruric and Braith joining in. Perra showed Ruric some techniques before pairs switched. Heskan's calmness frustrated Sethrekar to the point of bearing Heskan to the ground. Heskan pinned him and Sethrekar was forced to run.
The group sought out Nadarr, an old friend of Heskan, to help find some components Elnorin wanted to make more maccan. Nadarr was glad to see Heskan and invited the group to his 'secret' still for a drink later.
Heskan then went to speak with Perra about accepting the challenge. She said that it would require people to go with Heskan and that, if he was serious, then Nymbryxion would explain more.
The pair of paladins presented themselves to the dragon who explained that his father had said that Abzu once guested on the mountain. The resultant affect of the god's presence had brought the ether very close to the material realm. To prove himself he must take his companions to Abzu's cave with everyone surviving.
Heskan and the others joined Nadarr in drinking his 'moonshine' with Greethen in attendance too. There was some fun and Ruric gave some brewing advice to Nadarr. The group retired early.
Over night Ruric began to feel his fingers warm slightly as echoes of Ashkeeper were felt in the back of his mind.

That morning they gathered and bathed in the hot springs. The group then set off up the mountain.
As the air grows thinner, the group saw two air currents collect up to form two ice forms. One started to bear a resemblance to Colman. The group engaged with Bankanir nearly being thrown from the mountain. Eventually the Colman-like elemental surrendered and the elementals dispparated.
Braith and Elnorin began to suffer from the thin air. Braith began to see images of Ban Lior. She saw visions of a large, demonic archer sacking Glencapall.
At the next plateau, an effigy of Ban Lior summoned an army of icy demons (or rather elementals masquerading as demons). The party got closed in on as the fake Ban Lior began to attack Braith, dropping her several times. Eventually Braith defeated the image with Fail-not providing the killing blow.
