Reaching The First Temple
Disaster / DestructionUpon reaching the southern temple to the Dark God in search of Kira and Simon, the party finds themselves surrounded by death, navigating an ancient dungeon dedicated to a shadowy evil. In the process, Liliana "Barghest" Rivers of The House of Wolves acquires a crystal key, along with the corruption of a curse placed upon its pedestal, and is severed into a duality of herself. The darker version unleashes dark, twisted, and uncontrollable frost powers from the crystal key, forcing Steven to teleport Kira, Natalia, and the party back to Gienah to prepare for her arrival. After a climactic battle and the clever retrieval of the crystal key by Doyle LaBarre, a 1 in 100 teleportation mishap causes the party to be stranded up in the northernmost town in Locris: Merak.

The War Meeting in Alioth
Disaster / DestructionThe long-awaited war meeting on the 50th anniversary of the conclusion of The First Giant War resulted in disaster. Magnus had planned glyphs of warding on each of the pillars of the war table in the meeting tent, and once each of the delegates had arrived, he charmed Steven into doing his dirty work for him. Steven stopped time very briefly, allowing each glyph to activate and have time to charge, so the delayed blast fireballs released and burnt many of the delegates to the ground. King Didon and Konge Eidvarr died during this initial explosion, causing a battle to promptly ensue. Abel teleported King Didon to safety in the sewers where Torren joined them, Rastos was captured in an attempt to pursue Magnus, and the rest of the party was forced to flee with Bjorn and the rest of the giants. In the process, Magnus revealed his true form as an adult red dragon, growing and shifting into a gargantuan beast that dominated the Stonesman forces with a wave of his frightful presence.

Torren and Rastos teleport there, having barely escaped the chaotic battle of Magnus vs. King Matthew and Linus in the Altair throne room. Abel Xiloscient accompanies them in their teleportation, enabled by Ro-gin's temporary access of the abilities of the dreamwalker thanks to his connection to Artie. This begins their brief segment of downtime in Terra Dur, in which they learn from the giants there and prepare for the impending battle with Magnus, The Herald of Crimson Fire.
