82nd day of Winter, Year 185 of Vecna
The Guardians followed the trail, and ended up in a cave, where they confronted L'Utrax. They tried to convince him that they weren't there to kill him, but to no avail, there was no reasoning with the paranoid drow.
The failed diplomatic attempt ended in fight. As it turns out, L'Utrax had company in the cave. And it wasn't a dragon, but two purple dragons. Things looked very bleak for our heroes. Not only were they facing a master assassin, but two dragons. Luckily for them, Tic-Tac's Rod of Dragons proved up to the test. For most of the fight, he managed to keep one of the dragons charmed, forcing it to help them. The fact that he seemed more or less immune to their breath weapons also helped quite a bit. Yet, despite not having to deal with both dragons at the same time, it was still quite a challenge, and it was, for a long time, very touch and go. But in the end, the Guardians managed to deal with both the dragons and the drow.
After the fight, Henry interrogated the drow, and they learned that Lady Victoria was behind things, and so were the devils. She was the traitor El'Rull had gone to kill in the castle.
HUSK at vi spiller næste gang (d. 12 juni) hos mig, i Virum, og at vi playtester 5e (eller dndnext som det lige pt bliver kaldt). Jeg regner kraftigt med at sørge for, at der er lidt mad til lejligheden. Molin vil som sagt gerne spille wizard, det er okay hvis en anden også gerne vil spille wizarden. Men det ville være rart at vide på forhånd, hvad jeg kan regne med af characters. Og på forhånd er IKKE en SMS kl 17.57. Det er weekenden før.

Session 35: The Underdark
80th day of Winter, Year 185 of Vecna
Arriving at the fomorian castle, the Guardians decided to approach stealthily. As they climb the tall iron walls, Henry is almost discovered by some orc slaves that turn a nearby corner, but he just manages to pull up his leg and the rope he is using to scale the fortress.
Once they make it all the way to the top of the iron castle, they attempt to break in, but manage to set of some sort of psychic trap. They quickly enter, and find themselves facing R'kor, the fomorian king of this particular castle. Realizing (some of them) that attacking him might be the stupidest thing they have ever done, the face-off quickly turn to a negotiation. At the end, R'kor settles for the guardians doing him a favor. Nearby, there is a blue slaad that has been attacking his slaves and killing them. The Guardians must travel to its lair and kill the creature of chaos.
Since it's a bit late to leave, R'kor offers them to stay and sleep in his slave quarters. The Guardians respectfully decline and sleep in some nearby caves.
81st day of Winter, Year 185 of Vecna
The next morning, the Guardians head into the dark twisted tunnels, looking for the ruins who hold the slaad.
After about 2-3 hours of walking, they find the cavern, and start inspecting the ruined town it holds.
They are soon attacked by the slaad, who has heard them coming. As a surprise bonus, he even brought along his tentacled friend, mr. Mindflayer.
The fight is long and hard, and while the fight ends with a dead slaad and a dead mindflayer, it also ends with a dead Heian, who bleeds out on the floor while his friends are fighting.
Henry, overcome with grief, decides to test the medallion, and ask Heian some questions about his sword, which seems to be gone (but Jelestra has a shiny new offhand axe!)... But the answers are very vague, and Henry is no longer convinced that the medallion forced them to tell the truth. He does however learn that Heian wants to live.
Henry gets the idea to bring Heian back to the fomorian king. He might be evil, but he could definitely be bargained with.
Back at the iron castle, a deal is struck, and the Guardians are now 50.000 gold poorer. Heian is raised. As per the agreement about the slaad, R'kor tells them where L'Utrax is hiding out, in a series of caves, about 5 hours away.
82nd day of Winter, Year 185 of Vecna
After a day of rest for Heian, the Guardians move out, heading towards the caves indicated by R'kor. As they approach the area, the rangers find traces of clawmarks on the otherwise extremely solid walls. Dragon clawmarks.....

Session 34: Killing the Emperor?
48th day of Winter, Year 185 of Vecna
After some investigating, the Guardians realize that getting a face-to-face meeting with Daniel Ramar might not be as easy as they thought. Then Tweeks recalls Alvaro Gomez, the young noble he brought back from the dead, back when they had just arrived from Sigil. The Gomez family was based in Ran, so maybe that could be exploited.
Arriving at the Gomez mansion, they were greeted by a seneschal that would not let them in. Until he found out that it was indeed the Guardians, the heroes that had saved a son of the family. With that established, the Guardians were quickly brought before Esteban Gomez, the very grateful father of Alvaro. When he heard about their plight, he suggested that they might come to his party in five days, since Daniel would be there. That way, they could get an introduction and a chance to talk with him as well.
49th day of Winter, Year 185 of Vecna
While waiting on the 5 days to go, the Guardians were pretty much doing nothing, except Heian who was having weird visions. Visions of a holy fighter, first healing people, then fighting devils (or demons?). Heian recognized a statue in his visions from the streets of Ran, but Ran had never seen a demon/devil incursion.
53rd day of Winter, Year 185 of Vecna
At the Gomez party, the Guardians were introduced to Daniel Ramar. He turned out to be friendly enough, and after hearing they had items from another world, he agreed to meet them the next day, to take a look at things and see if a deal could be struck.
54th day of Winter, Year 185 of Vecna
At the Ramar Palace, the Guardians were guided past the many, many guards by the seneschal called Fandrik. They eventually ended up in the room they had seen in the vision. They tried to pawn off the necklace that Tic-Tac had bought for the tiefling harlot in Presidio, but that didn't take. For a while, the Guardians danced around the subject, until Henry cut in and said they wanted the gem, and would do anything to get it.
Fine..said Daniel
Kill the Emperor, and the gem is yours.He refused to tell them anymore than that.
55th day of Winter, Year 185 of Vecna
The Guardians once again set out, north towards Bragan and the Emperor.
73rd day of Winter, Year 185 of Vecna
After 18 days of travel, the Guardians had a chance to discuss and think things through. Maybe killing the Emperor was not the wisest move. Maybe they should go back to Ran and just kill Daniel. Or maybe there were things they could do here, with the army, or maybe in Presidio.
That proved to be fairly accurate. Barely had they arrived, and contacted Lord Colonel Nordentaft, before they learned that the Emperial Mages had found L'Utrax K'don, hiding in a small town (mirror of Bragan) called Ty'bal in the Shadowfell.
The Guardians immediately volunteered going to Ty'bal and finding L'Utrax.
74th day of Winter, Year 185 of Vecna
The Guardians are sent to the Shadowfell by 3 Emperial Mages, after getting a scroll so that they can get back home.
Once in the grim Shadowfell, the Guardians made their way to Ty'bal, a small city where undead are lawful (but still rare) citizens. There they found the Dark Elf Inn, but no L'Utrax. They did however meet Vjak, a shadar-kai friend of L'Utrax. However, when they tried to pass themselves off as working for the Drow High Priest mentioned in the scroll, Vjak and his pet troll in plate attacked them.
After disposing of the shadar-kai and the troll, Henry condocted his somewhat special interrogation, and the Guardians learned that L'Utrax was gone, probably back to the Underdark in the mortal world. From another drow present in the inn, they bought the information that L'Utrax was probably hiding out in the iron castle of his friend, King Rkor, one of the many fomorian kings.
The Guardians left Ty'bal and headed back to the spot, where they could cross. Heian almost failed to open the portal back home, but they made it through, and headed directly to the Underdark entrance they had been told about - about 37 miles north-east of Bragan.
75th day of Winter, Year 185 of Vecna
From there, they ventured underground, looking for the iron castle of Rkor.
80th day of Winter, Year 185 of Vecna
After 5 days of searching, they finally found tracks towards the castle and continued towards it. On the way there, they stumbled over a fomorian and killed him.

Ratos: Guild-houses, very rich people (often followed by slaves or servitors), wide streets, many patrols. Know for its many coffee-houses and lounges, where the rich and wanna-be-rich meet to deal in all matters. Also famous for the statue of Empress Simone, which is said to grant visions of the future to the deserving.
Menos: Trading, bazaars, markets, warehouses
Boros: Diplomats, foreigners, non-humans, the ordinary rich
Giros: Temples. Patrolled by holy warriors of the gods. Closed off from the rest of the city, except during 6 hours a day. The rest of the time, it is forbidden to the public.
