Session 76, September 21, 2023

by Rys

Session begins on the outskirts of caer dineval heading toward the western gate. Less than a mile from the city they are hit by a thick fog cloud that sorrounds them. Continuing, they feel the bite of cold wind and sleet from the storm, but make it inside the town. Even with the fog the town seems grayer or darker than it should be. The storm doesn't have any visible origin point, but is holding steadily over the town. They find the boarded-up inn that they'd attempted to stay at last time through town, and cut across the frozen harbor to the cliffs that the caer is built upon. They carefully scale the cliffside over the next hour or so. Savari sends her bird to look inside one of the windows of the keep and it sees a grand bedchamber with a tiefling inside eating. He turns around when the bird catches his cat's eye and she sees he's wearing a large gem and looks important/kingly. Savari reports back to the group. Rys scales the outer wall and sees the courtyard is empty. There is a set of towers. There is a beam of darkness coming from the keep and the air has a strange crisp feeling. She climbs to the roof and hears a muffled alarm cry from inside. As she gets closer to the flashing dark beam, a bolt of lightning hits her in the chest. She is knocked unconscious and begins sliding down the roof. Savari uses magic to cushion her fall to the ground. Ifrea misty steps to the top at the sound of the lightning and hears multiple yells from inside the building. They have not gone unnoticed. Shar and Ifrea join Savari and Rys on the Northeast side of the wall, as guards file out below them and rush along the perimeter. Savari causes a noisy distraction and then runs the opposite direction. The whole castle is alert. They climb the walls this time on the Northwest point and prepare to attack. Session ends
