Session 17: Adventures in Ashanor Report
General Summary
The party got a little lost on their way back from the pit. Raphael scouted a ruin where they heard crying and found a Storm Giant, named Dulad, upset about his wife being lost somewhere in the swamp to the west. In searching for her the party found an adult green dragon had made her into a meal. This enraged the Storm Giant Dulad and they quickly brought an end to the green dragon. They left the giant to his grief and headed back toward Trask.
Being they were a bit further south than they had originally travelled out they found a large mound of what looked to be Giant skulls with a sword sticking out of it. Discovering that they recognized the legendary sword of Arkanon known as Gutrender, they sought to find a way to recover it. In doing so they awoke a skull lord that used the sword to fight the group. Largely acting as a caster he summoned skeletal minions to his aid. Thankfully the group defeated the skull lord only to have the sword return it to life temporarily. In its second life the skull lord used Gutrender to slay the poor Tyrone Bigsby and absorb his soul. After felling the Skull Lord a second time Juniper Ginleaf carefully moved the sword into one of their bags of holding using her ring of telikinesis.
Finally arriving back at the village of Trask and speaking to the King they were rewarded with heroes honors, inducted into the tribe and given feather tokens that marked them as such. A great feast is held in their honor and the King offers them his personal warship to return them safely to Caldera.
