The Grim Reaper


 Having defeated the shambling mound; the party get into a rowboat and sets off to pursue the wizard in the harbour. Nidal uses her gem of seeing to find the Grim Reaper. Without the gem the ship is invisible. When the party approach the ship they find that there is some kind of dimension wall or wall of invisibility cloaking the ship. Adrahil and Nodrog push through the wall and after getting over their arms disappearing into thin air, they clamber up the side of the Grim Reaper. 

A battle breaks out on the deck of the ship. The drow are tough customers and not willing to give up. While the party struggles with the crew, the wizard unleashes a fireball on the deck that engulfs almost everyone. Some drow are killed in the explosion of fire and Nidal, who is already injured, drops burned and unconscious to the deck. Things are looking very desperate. 

Suddenly, Bimmz swoops down out of the sky breathing fire and strafes the wizard and drow with fire breath. The wizard is burnt to a crisp and collapses in cinders. The deck of the Grim Reaper is aflame. 

Nidal is revived and shouting for vengeance charges into the cabin of the ship with the rest of the party. A few drow try to defend the area and prevent the party from reaching Nerak. The drow go down and Nidal kicks in the door to Nerak's cabin. Nerak lies in her bed recovering from her injuries. Nidal jumps at Nerak. Just before Nidal reaches her, Nerak touches her amulet and disappears. Nidal scatters the bedsheets and pillows in frustration. 

The party goes down into the cargo hold and find crates and barrels with 1,000s of gold pieces, gems, and Aubrecht's treasure box. 




The smoke is getting very thick and the party are forced to leave the Grim Reaper. The jump into their row bow and paddle away. As they do, the Grim Reaper burns to the waterline and sinks to the bottom of the harbour.

Stone Keep - Arrival

 The party arrives at Stone Keep. After paying the entry tax and tying the bands of peace on their swords, daggers and other weapons, they enter the town and part ways with the caravan.   It is close to dinner time so the party decides to find an inn. The gate guard directs them to the Weary Traveler.  After seeing that their horses are properly stabled, they enter the inn and are greeted by the sight of an inn doing a thriving business. The main room of the inn is crowded and noisy. They find a table, sit down, and order some beer. The beer is delicious.  While the party orders food, Nodrog talks to Cullross, the owner/bartender, about getting some rooms for the night. Cullross shows Nodrog the rooms and gives him the keys.  After dinner, Nidal decides to go to the Temple of Light to pray. There she meets Brother Brodribb. He lets Nidal know about the increasing number of orc raids and attacks that seem to be happening around Stone Keep.  Meanwhile in the bar, the party also hears som

Into the Wilderness.

 The party decides to leave the Northern Expedition's camp to try and find the tree. The are not sure what they are looking for or what they will find.  The party leave their fire burning and quietly pack up their items. Under the cover of Adrahil's pass without a trace spell they manage to evade the camp guards and escape to the west. They decide to continue heading roughly west. The night is dark and even though it is challenging, they make good time and with a few hours are miles away from the camp.  The party continues to move west through the night. To the north they can hear a fast running river. They move north and come across a cairn. Many of the rocks that make up the cairn are inscribed with runes. Kallista is able to discern their meaning. A rough translation of the words under an arrow pointing to the East is Follow Me to the Sea. There is another arrow point west and the runes read as Follow Me to the Tree. Adrahil finds the pathway indicated by the arrow and the p
