+ | After confirming Eless is in fact not a dragon Blackfyre set out to investigate and close the portal outside of town as part of the favour they owe to Owyn and Eless for their requested magical tent. Reaching the portal they find foot prints walking around a rift in space, the other side a colourful and blurry mess. Kat is first to enter and finds the body of a man face down with a large hole through his back, the couple inch tall grass seemingly to be eating it as roots from a nearby tree slowly grow towards it, giving a signal the others enter through. Ade immediately recognising the flora as the feywild but unaware of exact location. Mal detects the presences of many fey but unusually detects two fiends and an elemental. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Investigating the area they find a stone pillar held together with metal and notably two spikes, one point toward the tear they entered from and the other pointing into a dense field of corn-like vines that sway gently without any breeze, their bulbs giving off a rattling noise, Mal glimpses a large stone structure within the but unable to identify any details. Ade flying up to an overview notices sand surrounding the pillar and movement from an unseen creature in the canopy of the twisting feywild trees. The sand shifts into the familiar form of Dance who questions why Blackfyre is here and if they' | ||
+ | |||
+ | On the otherside Mal uses the dispell scroll to close the rift, as she is distracted the rest of the group notice a thin pillar of black smoke rising from the city and a horned devil followed by numerous imps flying toward the group and the now closed rift. Stopping 150ft away and 20ft in the air, the horned devil began to cast a spell. The two groups fought, dashing the devil' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Hell' | ||
+ | Moving into the city following to the pillar of smoke the group finds a large crowd with guards trying to disperse them, they surround a burnt down home. The same that Takitar and Kat had visited two days ago. In the commotion they find a tiefling being arrested as a high priestess from the Temple of Tyr the group recognises from the divination ritual conducted yesterday. Takitar in disguise of a guard leads the tiefling and two other guards away where Kat then knocked the two guards out. They then snuck back to the tavern with the tiefling. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Mal went with the priestess Winona to the Temple to check in on the surviving gnome but she was asleep during the visit, the two investigated the husband' | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the tavern the group called on Owyn, providing a report of events and findings from the portal and burnt down house. And later Ansley to arrange safe passage for the tiefling Nephrai to Greyhawk where he can live free. Ansley reveals her plan to intercept a second mystery shipment between Cros-Glas and Gued Qeston after she pays a visit to Dance. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Spies and Sands** <sup> Session 23 </ | ||
+ | The Gates come to Blackfyre to ambush the transport before the Torment of Claws, Blackfyre agrees with their plan and both parties travel to Cros-Glas, as the Gates settle into town and begin arrangements Blackfyre visit Dance' | ||

+ | **Gate Trap** <sup> Session 24 </ | ||
+ | Travelling together Blackfyre and the Gates, set up an ambush for the mystery shipment. They blocked the road with their cart between two sand dunes. The cart drivers are quickly taken out but during the fighting King and Lilian fall to their demise while Renfry fell unconscious. Malum instucted Lambert to take the cart of supplies, the wounded Renfry and the bodies of King and Lilian back to Sunwood. Knowing that the Torment of Claws would likely recognise the defectors Lambert and Renfry. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Investigating their target cart Blackfyre found the interior to be shrouded in magical darkness, Takitar braved the darkness finding that even with darkvision and magical lights it is not enough to see inside and began to suffer necrosis after a time. Needing a plan they take the cart back to Cros-Glas. Reaching the town they encounter the disguised Silver Dragon who claims Amonora is dead, he receives the remaining payment and he hands over a bag of holding with anything from Amonora' | ||

+ | **Shadows on the Sand** <sup> Session 25 </ | ||
+ | While waiting for news from either Ade or Owyn the others take some, downtime however after the fight and sticking his head in the cart Tak dreams have been shrouded in shadows, unable to find a cleric he monitored his symptoms. With the death of Amonora the sands burying the town have slowly started to recede. On the 5th day Owyn appeared in the marketplace, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Zun on a journey to Sunwood joins the group as Owyn teleports them home. Owyn mentions that Forvon has returned, and Boots mentions the priestess dropped by looking for Tak asking for him to visit the Temple. The following morning on their way out Ansley provides all she can on Halflar and Kat asks for a list of people. She then refunds Tak as she hadn't turned anything up on the Ancient Assembly. Visiting the temple Tak talks with Sherai the wife of gnome who's house burnt down, telling that the day before the demon attack a lady in armour she didn't recognise warned them to leave, they refused. Sherai didn't hear her name clearly but sounded like 'lady has bran' which Tak remembers as ' | ||

+ | Returning to Sunwood Tak and Zun pay a visit to local blacksmiths where Zun learns of a rumour of a forge beneath the city that has been rekindled, the smith is unsure where the beneath Sunwood it would be, if it exists, suspecting that it could be made up to cause unrest and ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **A Boot on Sunwood' | ||
+ | The following morning the members of Blackfyre find Boots asleep in their VIP booth with an empty bottle of wine, surrounded by notes and documents, Tak prepared breakfast slowing waking Boots. After waking Boots takes the group over his findings, while unable to locate Lady Dazran he has pulled together contracts she has picked up, a common theme among the jobs is of nightmares and visions. For Kat, Boots gathered information on Vaughan who went missing 5 days ago and even his guild the Silver Band doesn' | ||
+ | |||
+ | While Kat began scouting the docks for Oddfang. Boots revealed to Mal, Tak, and Zun that one of the children, Wilcoril, was tasked with following Theresia the CFO from the Gold Alliance, Wilcoril went missing shortly after the assignment, Boots suspects the boy is being kept at The Lady's Fire as Theresia has been making more frequent visits, he wishes to investigate further but with the Unseen Lady's identity still unknown he's held off delving deeper. Boots feels that he owes the half-elf boy and his past self to find Wilcoril, as a young boy before he joined Blackfyre he found himself in a similar situation when he was taken by a gang and no one came looking for him and took a long time to escape. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Fanged Trees** <sup> Session 28 </ | ||
+ | The day began with a raid on the Gate's base, finding traps still active but easily disarmed the remaining valuables cleared out and returned and divided amongst Blackfyre, Mal tasked Boots with getting the hideout fitted out to be a concealed location for guild business. Mal visits Forvon' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Oddfang** <sup> Session 29 </ | ||
+ | After Kat's scouting of patrols and locations Rha later spots Oddfang on patrol. Waiting for their moment Kat, Tak, Zun, and Mal set up an ambush at the lighthouse, one of the distant patrol points, the initial surprise fell a bit short however 3 of the 4 guards were quickly killed, the 4th surrendering and limping away. Oddfang seeing his guard fall went on an all out attack killing Kat but he was quickly surrounded and restrained by the remaining members of Blackfyre. While Tak tied Oddfang up Zun revived Kat. All taking the back routes back to the tavern without further trouble. | ||
