Sessions of Arch 1

General Summary

Our Story Begins with Adventurers from all over Primar finding their home in Ravenhall. 4 new adventurers found themselves signing up for the same Escort quest to Port Kesh. They found plenty time to talk with those they were Escorting and keep watch as they passed through the Red gorge that was home to hostile Orcs. They dismissed a hunting party that came to ambush the horse & cart for quick supplies as they put most to sleep and incapacitated. Later as they arrived in Port Kesh they got a solid tip from the Representatives from Croi (Talisin May & Hemring May) and got to explore the Port City before they made their way back to Ravenhall.
Not long after their time back in Ravenhall the party found drinks and free housing at the Glamour Shots Inn. they explored the wonderful 4 Story Inn with its abundance of alcohol, entertainment and food. After well deserved night of rest the party sets out to the Unity guild again for another quest. This time finding a quest sent in by the Overseers, they made their way to a nice townhome in the city to find a house with 6 old men and 4 maids assisting their life style. the Overseers: John, james, Berry, Hamlyn, Pete & Klet were in search of a item. They are told of a small hamlet where the item they seek is located. The Overseers provide them a ship to get to a cliff side of Nato. there they encountered Drow pirates, hostile at first but came to a talk, they were moving a load of Blasting paste around the central islands and got the party to take a shipment back to Ravenhall with their mission complete. the following day the disaster struck the ports of Ravenhall & Tempairel, blasting paste eruptions gave trouble to the Summit which was soon to be holding one of their meetings. The party was eventually brought to the Inquisitors and Summit leaders Terron Hetter & Farreta Xios to be questioned, after some explanations and for better use of the Parties time they were to be in close talks/contact and to help assisting in finding the true root of where the blasting paste came from and dealing with the terrorists that seemed to be targeting more than just citizens. 
Meanwhile, the party was to wait for further intel on these Drow pirates and then would be equipped to handle it. So they decided to pick up a extermination mission from the guild to get their flow of gold going again. After picking up the mission details the party made haste to the town trying to finish their job and get their gold. Sadly at the cost of a Party members life (Graf Skywood), they made him a burial between Ravenhall and the town they left behind. Leaving his memory behind and to reflect that adventuring with the guild may come at the cost of their lives and that they don't want to let down each other.
Finally returning to Ravenhall with heavy hearts, knowing they'd have to inform the guild so the Skywood family would have peace. They took to drinking or distracting themselves of such, even meeting Gaeleth Sunstrider just before Farreta Xios sent a message a couple days later. The inquisitors had a trail for them to follow, mainly they needed the party as they had one main confirmed hideout and were going to act simultaneously to remove them. The party & the Inquisitors were dispatched in separate boats to the areas they had to chase down these Pirates. Headed towards Liber's coastal Cliff face the Party spotted a boat near a small cave outlet from the sea, innately thinking of pirates they made a slow approach and took their attach rowboat into the cave. Quickly found out and began to be assaulted with arrows they fought through each Drow till they found a hostage and a trove of treasure. taking the rescued hostage home he began to mutter words before they reached their ship to go back home, Gaeleth suddenly noticing his words but too late the man seemingly teleported to the boat the part had found outside the cave. unknown to them a small crew had already prepared the boat for escape and they could not think of ever closing the gap to give chase.
Back at Ravenhall as they returned they were given a message to report back to Xios and Turron. Still in a zone of truth they fill in the two founders and explain the hostage was a magic user that got away. Grateful, the founders give them a payment and ask them to rest before long they hoped to have the final answer from the Inquisitors soon after their mission. The times had been rough for the party and were glad to get back to the usual city life they knew for the last month. After helpful rest and gathering of necessities they get another message of concern from Xios, a fair amount of people had been disappearing from a town not far outside of Tempairel. Asked to investigate and bring the culprits to light, they made way to Xern, a small town that helped bring crops in for Tempairel. A couple days travel lead them to Xern where the party made haste to explore the people and guards of the town. after figuring out the kidnappers may have been evading the patrols that happened nightly they sought to gather more info but got prepared to stay in town themselves by getting rooms at the local tavern & inn. With keen eyes Rozilyn discovers a hatch that lead to a tunnel under the stairs of the tavern. Upon investigation into the pale female bartender of the tavern they figured they knew how to get to the culprits that night. A gnome was their bait and the party would be setup at the point of pick up where the victims were commonly left for the kidnappers. Springing their trap as the doors opened of the shed they hid in, the party jumps to apprehending the Drow male.
They forced the information out of him and he was used as a guide to where he was taking these victims. With the warning that it was quite a ways into the desert south in Ferish they made way prepared to save others and stop the group causing havoc for the town. On their way they discovered a old slightly sunken marketplace of a city or civilization that once was. Only another day ahead of them before their hostage said they'd find where he'd been going back and forth to. They arrive to find a few crumbling pillars and a dislocated path leading to a tower, of course guarded lightly. the party lets their hostage go only in agreement to never come back and cause no more issues for the realm.  The party continues as they make quick work of two guards and proceed to hop to the tower that seems to lead down below the small oasis, a pull of a lever the platform begins to sink slowly into the ground. Dark & wet the party moves into the next room as they get ambushed and blinded by Darkmantle creatures, with slight struggles they kill one as the other badly hurt one flees deeper in the halls. the party approaches the next door with voices on the other side they bust in and make havoc of the Drow cultists and a slime that seemed to have been summoned. With the Drow Cleric and his followers killed the party starts making way out of the altar and tower as the slime makes a final chase. the party prepares to use the lift once more but Gaeleth Sunstrider decides its best to hold off and have the party leave safely. leaving her below they make use of her efforts, soon after to retrieve her body and make way home. Before even leaving the Tower oasis they stumble upon Tyrfyr Sunstrider who had made his arrival seeking his mother. Angered and a flood of sadness took over Tyrfyr as he finds his mother passed, he takes to traveling back with the party.
5 Days to get back to Ravenhall, Tyrfyr took to carrying his mother back to be possibly being revived by the Summit, though efforts put in were futile. he grabbed the rosary & necklace from Gaeleth's body. The rest of the party was reflecting on losing another member and that they do care to protect themselves and those they adventure with, one can only hope the loss of their members brings them to caring and taking the caution of their surroundings.  They agree to take a break as they see fit mainly agreeing that they will stay in touch of course but enjoying the life the city has to offer and not risking themselves for a while till the new year comes around in three months.
