Session 09 (2025-01-03) - Brian

Radovan rejoins the party. He’d let the orc kids go and came back. Nadia joins us.

We cross the bridge with Nadia and see orcs throwing prisoners off a cliff. We [roll initiative]. We kill all the orcs with some surprising help from the goblins and free all the humans. The humans are Stoica and Calumshite and there is a halfling (Pocket).

We briefly talk with the goblins, who tell us that there are about a half dozen Laguna-kin in the tower. They then leave through the northern Grove and then over the northern bridge. The Grove has been defiled in the last 20-30 years.

Nadia and Pocket leave with the other prisoners. They will wait for us to escort back to Port Maraisa. We approach the tower.

The water has elemental magic to it. We enter the lower levels of the tower.

We fight Laguna-kin, then take a short rest. We find and kill [[Mother Viola Verduna]] after she’s summoned a shadow elemental which beats the shot out of us. We put the 4 items on the alter to summon a second shadow elemental. That second shadow elemental kills [[Mother Viola Verduna]] freeing the first one. The second elemental leaves.

After the battle, the first shadow elemental talks to us. It said it has three faces. When it finds it’s third face, it says it will go home. We tell it that it is in Bad Doric and offer to take it there. It possesses Gavin to find out where that is, then floods back out and then leaves, combining with the second face.

We loot this place and go out to rest (next session). Level 5.
