Continuing Through the Mountain Pass
Picking up from the previous session, the party resumed their journey through the mountain pass, fresh from an intense encounter with cultists. Their goal was clear: reach Thornhill Tower and uncover the mysteries it held.Arriving at Thornhill Tower
Following a rugged mountain trail, the group found themselves in a small valley nestled within the mountains. There, they caught sight of Thornhill Tower, standing secure in the valley’s center and fortified behind an iron-barred gate and surrounding walls. Eager to find a way inside, Finkelstein[ made a bold attempt to throw Redla over the gate, but he hadn’t accounted for the density of a dwarf, and his plan failed. Luckily, Darfin had a more practical solution—he picked the lock with ease, allowing the party entry.Scouting and Encountering Renvas Phundry
Once inside, they observed the tower filled with cultists and enemies. To avoid detection, the party devised a strategy for their attack. Zavania summoned a shrub to help sneakily gather information, hoping it might overhear any useful details from the enemies. In the midst of their planning, a drow named Renvas Phundry approached the party, revealing himself as the one responsible for the cryptic note that had summoned them here. Renvas was tight-lipped about his full intentions but made it clear he was here to prevent Neverwinter's destruction, claiming it would be bad for his business. He mentioned he needed an orb, though he withheld further specifics.Executing the Attack
With Renvas’s brief and cryptic warning in mind, the party pressed forward and executed their planned attack on the cultists and their animated armor allies. The battle was fierce, but the party’s strategy paid off, allowing them to eliminate the cultists swiftly. During the fray, however, an unexpected danger emerged from within their own ranks: Roland’s Berserk State took hold. Under the curse of his axe, he flew into a rage, unable to distinguish friend from foe, and turned on his allies. In his berserk fury, Roland struck Zavania, leaving her injured. Aldri, acting quickly, managed to subdue the barbarian by casting a spell that left Roland blind and deaf, effectively disabling him and bringing the berserk state under control.
