Session 4 Recap - Dark Side of the Moon

We last found our heroes at a mysterious estate on the dark side of Drak'thrun. As they moved through the building looking for clues and fighting for their lives they found several diary entries, one belonging to someone named Roslyn and another to a Viktor Cull'Thane. At first glance, the diary entries by Roslyn and the entries by Cull'Thane seemed unconnected but in the end, painted a picture of abuse and deceit.

Reflecting on Vampires

At the top of the estate lived a vampire who called himself Viktor Cull'Thane and he was very interested in our heroes and how they arrived. After some clever deception, and not-so-clever truths, a battle ensued ending in an arrow through the heart of this vampire. Unfortunately, the missing halflings were nowhere to be found within the estate so they decided to sneak back onto the train.

Before leaving, our heroes found an impressive-looking great axe within Cull'Thane's living quarters which Bellamy decided to attune to. This act was eventually determined to be a mistake.

A Lich And His Giff

After sneaking back on the train to continue the search for the halflings a creature most foul introduced itself to Bellamy. He called himself Acererak and compelled Bellamy to seek out a magic user on the train and strike it down. Bellamy refused which prompted the creature to lash out and take control sending the Giff into the next train cart for battle. Our heroes eventually found the illusionist wizard and cut him down before bringing the train to a complete stop at the end of the line.

Secrets in the Ice

A massive cave system sat waiting at the end of the tracks ready to be explored. Our heroes entered the cave and found carts for transporting materials, several humans protecting the entrance, and ice. What is waiting for our heroes in the dark depths of the icy cavern? Will they be able to determine the fate of the halflings? And why in the nine hells are there vampires on this moon? Find out next time on...
