Dispatched by the Harpers to infiltrate theThayan-held, Netherese-built city of Xorvindroth in the Thundering Peaks of Icewind Dale. This city has been transmuted to green glass by the unholy touch of Father Lymic's influence. Our mission is to infiltrate, discover a defensible position with potential for an observation point, and create a teleportation circle so the Harpers can begin to establish a forward operating base.

The infiltration at the front gate went completely pear-shaped, with the group fighting the Thayan gate detatchment during a blizzard and within a tunnel with an anti-magic zone as a primary defense. Through a survey of 4 potential locations for the Harper base, the party came in combat with an otherworld aberration like nothing any of us have heard of in all our adventures, nor the reports from our factions.

So much of the city's walls and infrastructure has been transmuted to green glass that threatens the viewer's desent into bouts of mind-warping madness. What has not been transmuted is still more chilling and uncanny still, much of it a remainder of the dying days of a Netherese metropolis warped by Our Planes abberations.

The team, especially the paladin Jewels, the mage Dresden, and Tordak, a cleric of Clangeddin, acquited itself well, locating a teleportation circle in a cavern beneath the remains of a clockwork academy that will suit the Harpers' needs and yet all seeminglynot drawing the notice of the Red Wizard forces and none descending into long term madness.

Story Award: A Lich's Secret

When going through Selfaril’s memories of the past, you discovered Rastol Shan’s secret. He is a lich who was formerly Thurndan Tallwand, the Senior Cloak who betrayed Selfaril Uoumdolphin on behalf of his brother Rassendyll. What you do with this secret is up to you.

Story Award: High Blade in your Debt

You prevented an alliance between an efreeti pasha and the Cult of Reborn Flame, you rescued Selfaril Uomodolphin from a mental prison woven by a hag coven, and you prevented Mulmaster from being engulfed in lava by the Black Phoenix.

Story Award: Thwarted the Devil’s Plot.

The group accuses Norre, a Thayan Ambassador of a plot to overrun Hillsfar with a demonic army.

Story Award: The Crazy Squirrel.

Clad in shiny plate armor, this adorable squirrel is often seen holding what appears to be an acorn. However, upon closer inspection, one will notice it is holding a 20-sided-die.
If killed or reduced to 0 hit points, The Crazy Squirrel can be recalled via find familiar, and uses the statistics of a cat from the Monster Manual. It has proficiency in all gaming sets. The shiny plate armor has no effect on the Squirrel’s AC.

Sent by Malkyn Fenris, a High Harper and the self-proclaimed "Archmage of Phlan", to search the Thayan Embassy for the master cryptographer Thessyl'k, stop his work to decipher the Lost Journal of Karsus and remove the time paradox created when Szass Tam brought the Lost Journal from the past to Mulmaster.

During a time that Wil is sojourning with Jaxx the ever-sleepy bugbear, Ember the Imbiber, and Aravahn, Cleric of Corelleon, undead attack their caravan in the hills between Hillsfar and Mulmaster. The revenant's last whisper is of the treasure of Solina, an item named the Dawnfire.

We discover a Zhentarim agent amongst the caravan members who is in posession of a sunblade named Dawnfire. The priceless treasure was uncovered in a Zhent archaeology (cough, grave robbing) expedition; this culprit has been pursued for days by the revenants of the paladin order who once guarded the holy weapon.

We come to learn that two members of the caravan have been taken back to the Barrows of Solina and Jaxx the ever-resourceful Bugbear uses a bead from a blessed necklace to turn us to vapor so that we may travel faster than the winds. Moving so quickly, we find ourselves stopping at a local farm for directions, where Grandfather Murphy Cord tells us two of the Cord's children are now missing from that area. Wil promises the village elder that they will enter the mounds to look for the children and mount a rescue if they are able.

Within the barrow, the adventurers discover all four missing persons on trial for the crimes of the single Zhentarim thief. In order to protect the innocent Cord children, Wil invokes trial by combat and faces the revenant of Alisandre Solina, paladin and Lady Arbiter of the Order of Dawnfire.

Wil fights their finest duel yet, parrying or avoiding all but a single critical stroke from the storied warrior, and that fearsome and lethal blow only mitigated with their adamantine armor and a careful Warding Maneuver.
After much swordplay, Wil manages to disarm Dame Solina of her greatsword and Alisandre yields. Before she retires to Celestia, her last wish is that we bring the Barrow down to lock in her foe, the frost giant death shaman Vornjolnir the Harrowed King.

As we approach to the second warding stone to begin the implosion, a vile devourer rises from the red rime of the floor above. Necrotic waves and punishing strikes knock Wil unconscious, but Jaxx the ever-faithful Bugbear brings them to their feet with the use of that same blessed necklace of prayer beads. Reeling from the fiend's onslaught, we manage to dispatch it and escape the collapse. The only items Wil and Jaxx the ever-industrious Bugbear could save from the barrow of Solina are the sunblade Dawnfire, and a tapestry with the ancient order's emblem.

Thankful that we have saved the mortals, the children are returned home safe (if a bit traumatized.) Wil declines the offered reward of these good and humble folk.
Wil and Jaxx the ever-pragmatic Bugbear do, however, turn the grave robber over to the Order of the Gauntlet and Harpers for interogation, sentencing, and/or prisoner exchange with the Zhentarim.

Story Award: Solina's Blessing

In the event that you come across Vornjolnir's machinations or the Harrowed King's relics, know that Solina’s blessing is upon you.
* Gained a Potion of Superior Healing

Soleil Finchfib, faithful priestess of Shiallia (exarch of Mielikki) and resident of Silverymoon, was tasked by her forest deity to recover and return the ashes of Tick Tary Tanner, a gnomish wizard of the Emerald Enclave and progenitor/martyr of the Red War that destroyed Mulmaster. After tracking down the Red Wizard thief, Soleil enlisted the help of Wil, a Dwarven heavy named Ping, a confusing sorcerer named Raksha (with his familiar Coral), and a druid of suprising ability, named Orry.

We convinced the thief to tell us what happened with the urn, and found that Tanner had been reconstituted and raised as a greater zombie by the foul villain, Szass Tam. Tracking down the animated remains of the poor druid Tanner, we dispatched him. Yet, our attempt to recover the corpse were thwarted when a magic user cast a passwall on the street where they stood, dropping them into the sewers below.

The trip through the sewers concluded in a tearoom of all places. We made the acquaintance of Thelma Scrollroller there. After an inexplicable attack by aThayan Wizard astride a young black dragon, we had to face a harsh reality that the gnomes' ashes could not be restored to the urn. Our best option was to burn the pile, dragon and all.
