Session 10: Silencing the Cackling Chasm

General Summary

After traveling through the night, determined to get home after the run in with Maud Chiselbones the party took a mid-day long rest at the White Lady Inn. Upon waking up, Sargent James arrived with a plan to get Atalanta back into the good graces of Speaker Danneth Waylen. She agreed to volunteer her time serving food to the people of Easthaven from the magical cauldron you had recovered from Maud’s lair. When the remaining party members decided to head downstairs, Balimaar York was there discussing something with barkeep Bartaban. He thanked you for making sure he arrived at Easthaven safely from Harriet’s Haberdashery. Hearing about your gnoll hunt for coin, he sent an associate of his, Sariel Silversky to accompany you and guide you to the Cackling Chasm. Reinaldo Goldbow determined to adventure once again, was set on taking the journey south with you.

After a quick stop to Balimaar’s shop and Greystables for Morthos to grab his dog sled, you made your way south with Sariel and her massive sleigh pulled by polar bears. The journey south took nearly 2 days, with a pit stop in an ice troll cave. Here you discovered that you were in pursuit and not far behind from the three duergar that were with Durth Sunblight aboard the Easthaven Ferry.

At the Cackling Chasm, you defeated a number of the gnolls that resided within along with their tyrant leader, Chyzka a Gnoll Fang of Yeenoghu who was practicing demonic rituals in effort to obtain power and fortify his station among the gnolls. After killing him, the remaining gnolls of the cavern stopped advancing and allowed you to leave the cavern unharmed. Before leaving however, you found a crazed bewildered man locked in a cage with a spear that wielded a Chardalyn tip. Morthos recognized this man was Jarund Twiceborn, son to King Jarund Elkhardt because of his time spent with the Tribe of the Elk. You put the berserker out of his misery and with the help of a magical chain, Reinaldo teleported you back into the comfort of the White Lady Inn.
