Whispers on the Wind
Having recovered their energy with a short rest, the party pushed forward towards the orange leaved tree, where the ghost of an elven woman named
Alana Fin'brell greeted them. Seemingly out of touch with her current location, and looking for her husband, the party managed to glean the likely location of the tomb from her, and continued on their way to the
Windlord's Tomb.
A more detailed description of the below events can be found in the article for
The Windlord's Tomb.
A Test of Strength
Making relatively short work of a trapped door and a set of elemental torches, the party found themselves divided up for some sort of elemental combat test.
Vita and
Bulgey, finding themselves in a cramped space against an opponent immune to fire, found themselves on the brink of death, before the others were able to dispatch the fire creature and resuscitate the pair with potions. Vita, being given another of
Dorro's Discount Draughts, found herself aglow with fire as she regained consciousness, thankfully unaffected by the flames.
The Wind Lord's Final Test
Seeing the doors forward opened, the party stepped into what appeared to be the air elemental plane, on a lonely stone parapet suspended in the eternal sky, in front of a runed sarcophagus. Taking a long rest to recover their strength (and reminding
Vita of the day before, which she had forgotten in her sleep),
Brian challenged the
Windlord Erhimit. After an extended and frustrating fight where most of the party found themselves restrained in strong winds, the Windlord gave a stern nod of approval and vanished. The runes on his sarcophagus faded, and his old equipment now available, along with a sizable sum of gold and gems.
