Session Twenty-Seven Summary (Graveyard of Empires: After the Fall)

Session 27, January 13 2020

Introduction

We continue at 10:30AM on the 18th of Tenrilden with the party having just avoided some large toads while following the Winter Wolves to the Winter King's Seneschal ... Rallion's Tale: We evaded the giant toads. We came to a large room with a large pile of bones.

A male drow of House Thule who was separated from a patrol seeking any breaches of the lower catacombs.

Velkin sent him south, where we had heard the sound of a toad and soon heard a scream.

Simultaneously, a horn sounded and the wolves told Rallion it was the Winter King calling the troops for a fight.

Skeletons were getting up, the clerics Lambertus and Felix turned them, but when the horn sounded again, the bones started moving.

We cross an area where we had to jump to a landing to get to the other side of a gap filled with mist below.

There was a door on the other side that Gath broke down and the other leaped across and the skeletons got up in answer to the horn.

We just ignored them and came to a large area that Lungmold recognized and it was flowing water when he came, but is now frozen and below us is frozen in mist.

The wolves told Rallion that a skeletal figure on a dais in ancient armor was the seneschal. His mount, a Remorhaz kept popping its head up. We climbed down and moved across to the now frozen waterfall where Lungmold came in.

Most of us climbed up and then the mount of the seneschal peeked and was with the last four, Ezra and Timon climbing, and Aubry and Bortham on the ground.

The creature bit Aubry in half. We threw oil and the rest of the party ran.

It hurt Bortham, but he made it up after Azra and Timon. The four winter wolves fought with us, and they allowed the last of us to get away.

We walked on a frozen river and came to a larger river and went upstream the way Lungmold came.
