Operation Details
The party would be briefed by King William. They were tasked to reveal any additional sources of the dreaming hallucinations in Pembroke. The party would reunite with the cat with wings at the Southern outpost. It seems that the guards found it during their nearby patrols.
The party would make a short distance to the edge of the darkness. They were alarmed to discover that it grew stronger in a short time, and they cautiously entered the darkness. Hale’s detect magic would find a web of silk strings inside the darkness.
Dickens would be confronted by Julius after traveling several hours into the darkness. He would be interested in our travels, but he would also provide alarming cryptic messages. This would stop the party. Dickens casts Zone of Truth on Julius and initiates combat. However, the party was confronted by two hidden cultists and started a difficult encounter. No casualties and impairments were reported in the fight.
The party would attempt to travel closer to Pembroke, but Lark would find a trap outside the city. We traveled back to the outpost since we’re too injured to investigate further.
