Session 173: Arrival & Assault

General Summary

  As the Dragon Punchers and Fury's Hellsquad neared Ilester they were met with a grim sight.  Large pieces of the city have been pulled up by the roots.  Enormous hunks of rock floated above, occasionally drifting into each other and showering the streets below with rubble and large blocks of stone.  Blind, leathery-winged creatures lazily circled overhead like oversized vultures. A deep, permeating gloom hung over everything.   As they drew closer to the city the group was met with a volley of arrows.  Their approach had not gone unnoticed.  Silkspear, Bart, and the Hellsquad took a defensive position outside the city walls.  Jinn, Micah, and Chari moved in to find their assailants.   The creatures within the area were stealthy, acrobatic, and seemingly one with the shadows.  As the group put each of them down, they dissolved into nothingness.  When the last of their assailants had been dispatched, the party reconnected with the Hellsquad.  Silkspear was noticeably on edge, and Bart had burned through most of his spells helping to heal the wounded wyverns and riders.   Worried that the wyverns would draw the attention of the creatures flying above, the Dragon Punchers opted to move into the city on foot.  They bid a brief farewell and made their way into the ruins.
