Session 18: Kaldrfjell Report
General Summary
The group arrived At Kaldrfjell and fought off some looting bandits, before befriending the priest responsible for tending the grounds. After a conversation with the priest, he decides to help the heros of Dace and leads them into the undercroft through a secret passage in the storage basement. The group travels through the Kaldrfjell attempting to sneak by the many dangerous creatures that now inhabit the tombs. Vash making a miss step when examining some remains wakes a nest of Gricks and the group manages to discover the final resting places of Rhazin Scarhide, Scyl of the Drakes and Gwendolyn Grimsbane beyond a 30 foot chasm leading into the Underdark.. With the blessing of the priest the group collect the magical belonging of the long dead warriors, along with the ceremonial dagger they were sent here to retrieve. Lord Winter calls upon his innate celestial powers and conjurs wings to fly him across the chasm while Ceru uses his ability to levitate across. Bruno initially struggles to skirt the narrow ledge, and Vash turns back after nearly falling into the pit. Anna knowing her abilities quite well holds the rope safely taught on one of the sides to help the others cross. While Ceru, Bruno, and Winter explore the tombs, Vash and Anna are ambushed by the Gricks, Vash awoke with his misstep from earlier. With Lord Winter unable to help the fight due to him sanctifying the graves of the dead heros, Ceru heads back across and helps defeat the Gricks, not before sinking an arrow in to the back of the priest who was aiding them. With the Gricks defeated Ceru heads back across the chasm, but slips halfway and plummets to his death. Lord Winter finishes blessing the graves and before the group can begin the decent down the pit Lord Winter receives a telepathic message from Ceru stating he is safe in Calimport. The remaining adventurers leave Kaldrfjell and Lord Winter promises to send help to clear the undercroft from the creatures when the Crusade has been cleansed.
