The Temple of Light

 Rushing through the streets to get back to the Temple of Light the adventures see many citizens running towards them. As they approach the temple, they notice bodies lying in the courtyard around the temple. They attempt to enter the temple through the west doors, but the doors are blocked. They rush to the south east doors. The sight that greets them is stunning. The light emanating from St. Cecilia's sarcophagus has been reduced to a dull glow. A Drow magic user stands chanting in a pentagram wreathed in tendrils of dark magic. Nerak stands in the temple holding a dagger to Sister Sarah's throat. Beside her is a human wizard who evil intent is obvious. Several Drow warriors are also in the temple.  The evil party gained access to the temple by tunneling up through the floor.  Nerak tells the party to stop and then cuts Sister Sarah's throat, plunges the dagger into Sister Sarah's heart and then throws her body into the hole in the floor. Nerak licks the Sister Sarah&
 The surprise that Nerak has arranged for the adventurers involves her Drow allies. It is Nerak's hope that the Drow will dispose of the adventures, while Nerak and her accomplices strike at their real target - The Temple of Light.  Nodrog's injury isn't severe, but he realizes that he is beginning to feel disoriented and dizzy he slowly moves out of the line of fire. Nidal rushes in to attack the ambushers, but her actions are in vain as the enemy cannot be located. After carefully scouting the area, the party realizes that there are figures moving along the roof tops. Suddenly two Drow drop down behind Kallista and Nibbidard. A green sheen of deadly poison  on their blades shows in the street light. Fortunately, the drow are no match for Adrahil and Nidal and are quickly dispatched.  The party move into the warren and Nidal and Nodrog climb onto the roofs to try and get at their attackers. Kallista fires a ray of frost at one of the would be assassins and Nodrog, Nidal. a
 While the adventurers have been leveling up and recuperating in the city of Statsberg, they have continued to try and track down Nidal's nemesis Nerak. Rumours have reached them that Nerak has been spotted in the Fishgate area of the city. So the adventurers decided to have some dinner at a local tavern and see if they find out more.  They have dinner at the Boar and Hunter tavern and find out from their server that Nerak has indeed been spotted in the area. However, the server can provide no other information. The party decided to visit the Temple of the Light which is across the road from the Boar and Hunter.  Temple is newly constructed and contains the tomb of St. Cecilia. A large congregation is present and Sister Sarah is conducting the service. The adventurers are surprised to find that the sarcophagus of St. Cecilia glows with its own light. When they touch the sarcophagus all nature of injuries are healed. The last remnants of Adrahil's werewolf curse and Nidal's
  Welcome to the Ealdesland blog where I post and record the latest adventures of Nidal Apecina, Ardahil, Nodrog, and Kallista the Tiefling. Our adventures are set on the continent of Ealdesland and consist of both my own and other publishers modules and adventures. The rules we use are 5e D & D, but I often shamelessly modified and adjust the rules to ensure the narrative allows the characters to explore the world and their own capabilities.
