Now that the storm focus in Wayside has been destroyed, it is time to track down the missing cultists. First stop: Fort Locke.

The Statue of Destruction

Gorthok's ritual is focused within the statue of Talos currently attacking the party. Can they defeat the statue and disrupt the summoning.

Hunting down the vampire spawn Argus Skeel, the party explores an eerie mausoleum at the graveyard north of Phandalin.

Meanwhile, Vellen is due to overcome her wand-induced fright and return to battle.

Ghoul Problems

Tracking Argus Skeel down by way of his horrible hat, Herdyr accidentally wakes up a group of ghouls who begin hunting her trail as she flees back to town, where Tharg and other allies can even up the fight.
Meanwhile, Anathema watches from her vantage point on a hill overlooking the road and the graveyard. Tharg is in town, being confused with heroes from the stories spread around town most recently.

New threats to Phandalin

Rumours about disappearing travellers and unnaturally frequent lightning strikes have intrigued the party. Investigations point to two newcomers, a shadowy grave digger named Argus Skeel, and a bubbly Talos follower called Vellen Firecrow.

Phandalin Revisited

The party have a great deal to do around town.
Will they accept ownership of the apartments in Tresendar Manor and the responsibilities that go with it? What do they do with their cart, belongings and hangers on? And what have their friends and acquaintences been getting up to since they've been gone?

A Cruel Wind

Sinister thundering hoofs and the squealing of a gigantic boar echo over the storm, as three wind elementals attack the goats. The party rush out to guard their herd, and soggy battle ensues.

Smells of Wet Goat

Overnight, clouds roll in from the west indicating stormy weather in the immediate future. These goats are tough though. They'll be fine in a bit of rain... Right?

A sinister journey of three parts

There, they may find a way to safely dispose of their cursed ivory rod.

A Curse in Ivory

The party soon realise that the unicorn horn has a subtle curse on it, leading others to mistrust the holder or covet its power for themselves. They must search for a way to dispose of it safely, or wield it fully and revel in the infamy it creates.

Albrek strikes back

On exiting the mirror, they find the compound has been attacked by Iarno Albrek, and he has a new weapon. A black staff that seems to be rather necromancery.
