General Summary

The party returns to the Citadel of Grey Exile to address warnings Hope is getting via her Warden gear. They find that the tower is near the breaking point from metaphysical strain: aberrations are flowing unchecked through the Wyrmhold gate and three enchanted tethers have been discovered beinding the citadel in place between the realms. Triple T seals the gate, then turns to address the tethers. Each is tethered in a different plane of existence: The Feywild, The plane of Earth, and the Underdark on the Material Plane. The party decides to approach the Feywild first. They learn that the forces of Kyuss have seiged this corned of the Feywild and the Fey Lords were forced to combine their power and sever the entire forest into a demiplane to limit the spread of the undead. Quagim calls in an old favor from the Summer Knight, who arrives with a team of eladrin from multiple courts. They hold the kyuss spawn and knigts at bay while Triple T makes short work of another ulgurstasta. Beyond, they find the base of the tether. Quagim acts quickly, leaping from the magic carpet, transforming into a massive gorilla, and giving the arcane device a radiantly-powered elbow drop.
Bad things happen.
The summer knight recovers Quagim’s body while Bak single-handedly uses his new sun sword to drive back an incomprehensible nightmare from beyond the planes.
Quagim’s magical evacuation is barred by the Fey injunction, but Silk and Hope barely manage to assemble a old menhir portal. As the main horde of Kyuss spawn descend from all sides, the party and their allies escape into the unknown.
