Session 34: Getting to Aldinach's Egg Report

General Summary

Our heroes started the session mid-combat against some bandit that steal money for shits and gigs. They defeat them fairly easily and loot their thieving bodies to get a nice handful of coin and a locket. Then they reach the river once more.
James makes a new boat. Then they rest. Overnight blood rain pours down on the land and some earthy rock lands on top of their dome. In the morning, they try tackling the river. Zadaar and Joe take the baby bear in the boat, Drakix carries Nisak, which pulls the disk with James on it. Everything goes extremely well, except Nisak losing his hat. Aziel flies.
On the other site they realise this floating fortress is thousands of feet up. Many thousands. The best course of action is for Aziel and Drakix to fly up and inspect the place. They do that, while invisible, and learn of a portcullis protecting the entrance. There are many animated brambles and foul things protecting this egg.
They both return to the floor with their allies, and Aziel flies up again to see what else he can learn about the underside. Looks like the egg goes all the way into the floating earth. With nothing else to do they start ferrying them up.
Drakix carries James to the top of the wall, then returns and carries Nisak while Aziel brings James' equipment. Unfortunately a havoc storm wreaks chaos and Aziel loses one of James' books mid-flight. Drakix then brings up Joe and Aziel carries Uril, and finally Drakix brings Zadaar and Aziel brings the equipment. They are now tired and rest a little.
It's time to try and get in the fortress. Each of them feather fall down and the animated thorns form to create some kind of beast. There's a big fight in between attempting to open the smaller portcullis. Eventually the beasts are vanquished, as well as a thorned knight, and it leaves a carpet of stony thorns in the area.
A few of them try opening the portcullis with no luck, and then they try again (with no luck). We leave the session after an extremely taxing day on the 8th of Noctuna.
