Quest Fulfilled and a New Goal Sighted

Miscellaneous

The party buries their dead, and meets three new people who join them.

Upon leaving the tomb, Ari and Sage take a moment to catch their breath. While they pause, the body of Darren begins to glow and is lifted into the air. Descending from above is an angelic being dressed in runic armor with two large white wings. She introduces herself as Azarelle, and says she has been tasked by The Champion to guard the party from harm until Darren is fit to return, or decides not to.

The three make their way back to town and rest for the night. In the morning, Sage goes to Theodemon to ask him to prepare a burial ceremony for Twilla and Rodrick. While she is doing that, Ari and Azarelle meet two travelers in the tavern: Kaedwyn, a Red Dragonborn who introduces himself as a Jager working for The League of the Eye, and Marcelline, a Firbolg druid, in town to look for her sister Twilla.

The party breaks the news of Twilla's death to Marcelline and together they attend the burial ceremony. After some brief deliberation, the new and old party members decide to band together and wipe out the threat in the ruin once and for all. They descend the stairs once more, defeating an Ootyugh, more skeletons, and finally the rest of the Cultists, along with the undead Giant they had recently created. They learn that the Changeling Kaedwyn has been following recently left this place and headed over the mountains through The Giant's Pass.

The threat eliminated, the town of Duskview thanks them profusely. The party rests a few days, gathering supplies then heads out making their way to the base of The Restless Hills, intent on braving The Giant's Pass.
