Notes:
The party rides away from the burning inn all night and the full next day. Stopping exhausted they rest for the night on the 19th of Summer Waxing. While Bajol is on watch a shadow pops up and moves independently. The following exchange occurs:
Bajol: Identify yourself.
Shadow: I’m one you have talked to before.
Bajol: What do you want?
Shadow: Your location and intentions.
Bajol: Identify yourself.
Shadow: In this age I am known as the Lord of Shadows.
Bajol: Begone foul creature!
Bajol then brandishes his holy symbol and the shadow dissipates.

In the morning Frumious sends a message to Ellicor.

Been visited by some of your old dark friends also encountered Culminos’ followers. We’re fulfilling last orders given – will we see you? Soon?

The reply from Ellicor is:

Wicker seems to have beaten shadow. Crows converging on your home. Giants arrive game over. Culminos on shore, influence but not enter. See in tomb.

The party keeps riding, and that day they break out of the hills and enter plains. That night they stop to attempt to speak with dead. First they try Aramus and the spell is successful.

1) How does one go about obtaining this decade’s password required by the mechanical men to gain access to the ladies tomb without fighting?

A) Carefully decipher from the clock in the antechamber of the Mechanical Men.

2) What sort of bribes will the wyrm accept?

A) Gnomeflesh, unique magic, gems

3) What are the names of the prayers, in order, that are required by the Revered Dead in order to gain access to the tomb of the lady?

A) The Gloria Omnone, the Benediction of the Solarians, the Acknowledgement of Creation, and the Thanks of the Dead.

4, 5, 6) What are the words in order of 4)the Benediction, 5) the Acknowledgement, and 6) the Thanks of the Dead?

A) Aramus gives the prayers. The Gloria Omnone is already known by Frumious.

They next try to Speak with Dead on Fingali, and lo and behold it is successful (rolled a 1 on his will save).

1) What are the intentions of the God King of the Giants?

A) Total dominion here, above, and below.

2) Did you pass along information from the Scrolls of Epic Legend you destroyed to anyone else?

A) Yes.

3) Who did you give the info to?

A) Astros

At this point the party realizes (with a little prompting from the very gracious DM) that dwarves in this world change to stone upon death, yet they have been carrying around Fingali’s corpse as if he were a human for 2 weeks.

4) Why has your corpse not become stone?

A) I did not know that in taking service with the God King that I would be remade and serve him in life and beyond.

5) What purpose does the God King have for obtaining the Words of Power?

A) He searches for the 13th Word, the Word of Creation.

6) From whence does the God King draw his power?

A) I do not know, but Astros believes it is from worship.

Having answered the last question, the party throws the corpse on the campfire. It ignites but then jumps up and attempts to flee. They haul it back and watch it burn away. The knights then realize that the God King has probably heard every conversation they have had since acquiring Fingali’s corpse.

They rest the night and begin journeying across the pains. They camp again and notice that the Varian Forest seems to be on fire in places. They keep on the next day and enter the Varian Forest at dusk. They encounter a dragon, who during a short exchange realizes that they are the Knights of Mist Valley and according to songs previously slew a dragon (Nolan’s exaggeration of them sneaking by the slumbering dragon early in the game). It attacks to revenge its fellow.


The party fights and slays the dragon. End Session
