Blood Grounds

The group spent an extended rest in the Library and woke refreshed the next morning.  Speaking with the Luminary did not reveal any additional information and the group decided to press on towards Tovag Baragu.  They left the library and found themselves again in the Ruby Court.  Leaving the court they followed the same path out that they came in on.  As they turned a corner in the Blood Grounds they saw before them four Dragonborn.   The Dragonborn moved menacingly toward the party and a battle was engaged.

Plagued

As the hardy adventurers made their way through the ruins of Vor Rukoth they rounded a corner and spied 5 dwarfs in a crossroads.  Several of the dwarfs had crossbows and others had cutlasses.  As they party moved forward the dwarfs moved in to attack.  Demin started by firing his crossbow at the dwarfs, the response was a flurry of crossbow bolts followed by the advancement of the dwarfs with swords.

The Fey Engine

The party caught their breath in the aftermath of the battle with the Ivy Heart and its cohorts.  Taking a short break they scoured the room but found no interesting items.  The far west area was covered with runes, so plentiful that they almost ran together.  Lythandar did an Arcana check and determined that the energy was drawn from all over the graveyard and focused near this area.  Demin check out the doorway leading south, it was open a crack.  He listened but didn't hear anything on the other side of the door.  Lythandar decided to open the doors using his Mage Hand.  Everyone moved away from the area and the door swung open.

Wild at Heart

The battle with the Ivy Heart, Firbolg Shell and Zombie Knights continues with Pretis alone with the Ivy Heart, Melisana grabbed by the Shell, Alhellara, Gofin and Mara amongst the Zombies and Demin and Lythandar trying to stay away from the enemies.  The action was hot and heavy as a Zombie moved to face Lythandar and Pretis tried to escape the ivy vine grabbing her.  Demin kept peppering the Shell with crossbow bolts as Gofin and Alhellara tried to hold off the Zombies.  

Perilous Pool

After having defeated their doubles the party took a short rest.  Several members found themselves exhausted from the two difficult encounters they had fought today but it was still early and the party ventured on.  Mara continued south to check out the rest of this area and soon found herself in the hallways the party had found as they came up from the underground passage.  Pretis said that they should pull the lever but most of the party wanted to move away from the lever fearing an attack of some kind.  Lythandar used his mage hand to move the lever and...

Death in the Dark

After killing off the Dark Angels the party discussed their options.  Lythandar pushed for going back into the tapestry room and try to find the southbound passage that seemed apparent from outside.  Mara wanted to exit back out to the west or through the secret door to the tunnels.  Other party members weren't sure which way to head, or should they just try and enter this complex again hoping to find the third "world" that Gofin and Mara had experienced earlier.  Lythandar's thought was that they should try and finish exploring the Garden of Graves before possibly entering a "world" from which no return was possible.

Dark Angels

 As Melisana investigated the statue and Pretis and Demin headed down the hallway a gray angel armed with a scythe suddenly appeared behind the statue.  Demin remembering the gray unicorn immediately fired upon the angel.  The angel responded with a burst that caught several party members in necrotic damage.  The encounter continued with Pretis charging the angel but missing and the rest of the party attacking.  Just after Gofin looped around the statue to come up behind the angel, she found herself flanked by two more angels that just appeared next to her.  The party found that their healing attempts provided less healing than normal. After Melisana cast a Brilliant Beacon of light Mara pulled the last angel into the Beacon.  Just as quickly as the angels appeared they again disappeared.
