The party recaps all that has happened thus far. After a quick and dangerous quest in Limbo, they return to Kanjir and start travelling to Ekuros. A dracolich attacks.

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

Recap

Last time, the party made their way into the Tomb of Stars. They entered a portal to Limbo where the spirit of Caelynn Amastacia resides in a sanctuary.

In this session…

After resting, Finnith, Baala’rug, and the rest of the party tell Caelynn Amastacia about all that has happened on their journey. In their discussion, Baala’rug learns that he can get the materials for the magic item he’s been looking for—but it will be dangerous.

The Embers of Creation have the power to create most anything with the proper catalyst. With a bit of crystallized energy from Senrichiou, Baala’rug can obtain the necessary components—the hide and scales of an amethyst dragon. But the Embers of Creation are in Neroth’s fortress in Limbo. The party would have to be very careful not to get caught if they attempted to sneak in.

Caelynn Amastacia makes a request of the party. If they go to Neroth’s fortress, she asks that they also rescue the spirit of Varis Amakiir, her son and Neroth’s father. It seems that he has been held there, preventing him from appearing in the sanctuary.

After some discussion, the party agrees to make the attempt. Caelynn gives everyone a special broach that helps them travel safely to Limbo. She also teleports them near Neroth’s fortress and gives them an item that will guide the way to Varis’s location.

The party sneaks through and finds Varis. Varis guides them to the room with the Embers of Creation, and Baala’rug is successfully able to obtain the item he needs.

Then, three of the Six and Neroth appear. As everyone scrambles to act, Varis teleports the party back to the sanctuary—at the cost of time. When the party awakens, it’s been a week.

Nala is anxious to return to the dragonborn lands. So, after taking Varis Amakiir to task, the party leaves the Tomb of Stars and teleport to Kanjir. (But not before they learn that Cipher was the one who delivered Varis Amakiir’s ashes to one of the Six.)

Once they’re in Kanjir, they sneak out and begin traveling towards Ekuros, Nala’s home and the capital of the black dragonborn lands.

A day afterwards, as they are traveling, a blue dracolich and its minions attack. The party successfully defeats them—but why did this happen?
