Hunting the Arch Magus pt. 7 Report

General Summary

Bonesaw decided that the fight with the Scions wasn't worth it, and used a mysterious ring to disappear and blow up his warehouse.  The party managed to survive the explosion - barely, in Billy Bob and Rayuuv's case.  Bonesaw's fate is unknown; the party was unable to search the flaming ruins of the warehouse once the town guard was organized.
The next morning Rayuuv finds a letter, presumably from the Arch Magus, telling him the truth will soon be revealed, and nothing is as it seems.  Chandrilla asks the party why they blew up the largest warehouse in the docks, and accepts that Bonesaw destroyed his own warehouse to cover his tracks.  Dralin chastises Chandrilla, saying that the Council has no one to blame but themselves for letting Bonesaw operate with impunity for so long.
Dralin also tells the party that First Spear Hektor is missing, and several of the Laconian honor guards were found murdered in their barracks.  The party heads to the Memorial Grove to investigate, and finds two revenants dressed in Laconian ceremonial armor, as well as two necromancers and a small horde of undead.  One of the necromancers raises his control stone, which explodes in his hand, knocking him down and breaking his control of the Revenant.  The Revenant immediately swears vengeance and brutally attacks the downed necromancer, almost killing him.
Dralin tells the party to take the necromancers alive; he needs them for questioning.  He and his paladins go off to fight a large horde of undead that have surrounded the party; he implores the Scions to capture the necromancers, he'll keep the horde at bay.
