Finnith gets a confusing message from Eliera. The party reaches the peak of Angorod, the tallest mountain in the Gray Crescent Mountain Range.

In these posts, I talk about the campaign I play in and our most recent session!

Recap

Last time, the party was nearly arrested by the Knights of Sand and teleported across the continent to the Gray Crescent Mountains. They decided to spend two weeks climbing to the peak, where legend lore indicated was the next step in Baala’rug’s quest to find the last amethyst dragon (who is said to have a connection with Caelynn Amastacia).

In this session…

The group hashes out their plans for returning to the dragonborn lands afterwards.

During the climb, Finnith receives some sending messages from Eliera. He isn’t sure exactly which parts of her messages were true, but it sounds like Neroth or some version of Ivellios has come after Cipher and Eliera. (note: Eliera did this many sessions ago, but the good squad+ is behind the new/evil squad in the timeline right now)

At the end of the two weeks, the party reaches the top of Angorod. Stone steps lead them to the peak. There is a stone courtyard in front of a stone mausoleum. But before the group can investigate further, they are confronted with the guardian of this place—Maiathah Miranor, Oathsworn Guardian of the Tomb of Stars.

She creates six crystalline duplicates of herself, each wielding different weapons, and attacks the party when it’s clear they aren’t leaving. After a precarious fight, she is defeated, and Caelynn Amastacia’s amethyst bookmark is discovered. The party also levels up!
