Session 03
General Summary
The group swarmed over their opponents, Harley stabbing and cutting viciously at the Jester,
whilst the others took a rather more subtle approach with the other enemies. Soon Adrick Garthun
fell to Morgan's axe, bludgeoned into unconsciousness, whilst the Blue Duke was knocked down
and out by Gotrek. Braken and Camero used their magical might to subdue Lady Thifirane but
Harley seemed to almost take pleasure as he ran his rapier through the Jester's belly, watching as
the assassin fell dead at his feet.
The group had captured three opponents, Lady Thifirane, the Blue Duke and Adrick Garthun and
they quickly tied them up, pleased to note that the Blue Duke was not regenerating when
unconscious. The female fey vampire watched on still and the group spoke to her causiously. She
called herself Mhard and said she was just here to listen and not fight so eventually the group "let
her go", wondering how she fit into all this.
A quick search of the ballroom revealed Lady Thifirane's notes on her speech and on the
Cagewrights plans. These were very concerning and the party learnt that the Cagewrights ritual is
called the Planar Junction. It involves two phases. Phase one is the purification of the
Shackleborn. This is now complete. Phase two involves opening the rift from Carceri to Cauldron.
The Cagewrights are resting up after the exersions of phase one and will start phase two soon. The
Tree of Shackled Souls (holding the 13 Soul Cages containing the Shackleborn) is the primary
focus for the Ritual of Planar Junction. The purpose of the Planar Junction ritual seems to be to
facilitate some sort of "jail break" out of Carceri. In order to power Phase Two the Cagewrights
have discovered how to wake the mountain and cause the volcano to errupt! The Tree of Shackled
Souls, deep inside the Fiery Sanctum has the power to keep everything in a half mile radius of
itself safe from the effects of the erruption, so the Cagewrights will be safe. Thifirane clearly
intended being in the Fiery Sanctum when they began phase two!!
Alarmed by these revelations, especially by the fact that the Cagewrights appeared to be planning
on waking the volcano and making it errupt, the party hastened to search the rest of the house.
They recovered some valueable treasures and encountered a small group of orc guards on the
lower levels who they dispatched, but found nothing else of more significance so they returned to
the ballroom to question their captives...
