Perils of the Unseen

by Revered Father Darcell Durros

After the tumultuous events beneath Esmeltaran, we sought solace and rest in the comforting embrace of an inn. As we recuperated, the town seemed to return to a semblance of normalcy, albeit with a conspicuous absence of human life and the unsettling silence of the once lively lake.

In search of sustenance, Haldir chanced upon a parchment bearing an address marked with the numbers 35, along with indications of time and location. With a newfound purpose, we set out towards this mysterious destination. Along the way, we encountered the remnants of the town's tragic past - a few lifeless bodies, their belongings scattered around, a grim testament to the initial attack that befell Esmeltaran. Darcell, as a gesture of respect, offered last rites for the departed.

Arriving at the designated address, we entered a seemingly ordinary house, its furniture pushed to the walls, creating an air of secrecy. Curiosity led us to discover footprints leading to a concealed chamber. The revelation of a hidden door presented an opportunity, but as the party explored the passage, Darcell, watching Lake Esmel, noticed a peculiar occurrence. A bird, diving into the water, emerged dry and befuddled.

Sharing this strange observation, we exchanged information when Mezo, keenly alert, warned of troops scouring nearby buildings. Dropping into the tunnels for cover, Ellis, displaying his knack for illusion, cast a minor illusion over the hidden switch. In an act of self-sacrifice, he offered to stay behind as the rest of the party advanced. However, a sudden paralysis gripped him, and a cowled wizard materialized, questioning him about Necrom's sigil and his supposed solitude.

In an unexpected turn, the wizard seized the sigil and promptly dimension doored away to join armored troops. The paralysis released its hold, leaving Ellis in a perplexed state. The encounter left us wary and uncertain, with the shadow of unseen forces looming over our every move.
