Session 27: Depths of the Dwarven Valley
General Summary
After spending the better part of the week back in Bryn Shander at the Northlook, the party took some much needed downtime away from the doom and gloom. During the time spent at home, Atalanta and Nix negotiated fair terms with Jazthra "Jizz" Farzassh; in exchange for 10% of the profits, Jizzy agreed to take care of the tavern in the party's absence.
During the downtime, the party was able to reflect on everything that had happened in the recent months. The party came to an unanimous agreement that they need to do everything they can to save Reinaldo and bring him back to life. From the discovery of the small Psi Crystal at the Gem Mine in Termalaine, the Bulwark though it best to pursue their search in the depths of the Dwarven Valley.
Last time they visited the Dwarven Valley, they found the entrance to Kharadad completely caved-in. After teleporting to entrance once again, the crew traveled through the subterranean passage to find the entrance in the same state. They spent the remainder of the day carefully removing enough rubble to squeeze through.
Traveling miles deeper, when the party came upon the dwarven city of Kharadad they found it nearly abandoned and the city itself in disarray. After meeting with Danka Battlehammer, the Champion of the Dragonpyre the party learned that many of the denizens of the once bustling dwarven society had traveled south through the Underdark to join the remaining members of Clan Battlehammer in the Mithral Halls. Those that remained held out hope to bring Kharadad to its former glory. The party also learned more about Bleucorundum the "Sapphire Sentinel".
After hearing that the party was traveling deeper into the cavernous depths, they were granted a "quest" of sorts from Prat of the Murktown Monarchs; an opportunist looking to make a buck off the poor situations in Kharadad. He agreed to pay the party for anything they might harvest from the vermin they find within the Spider Stalking Caverns.
Heading deep into the tunnels, the party eventually found the Queen of the Venom Stalkers and were able to strike her down before retreating back into a safer portion of the tunnel complex.
