When they had rested enough that Phaze was ready to go again they surveyed the three exits carefully. "I think we should use this one, I can hear the faint sound of the forge. This one will lead out to Earthern Cauldron," Ruin reported. They all agreed with that and headed into the passageway. It was dark at first but got increasing warmer and brighter the closer they got to end. At the end of the passage way was a large face carved into the wall. "This looks like ...

When Quill got them all outside, everyone was very quiet.  "I'm sorry about that," Benedict was the first to speak, "I think it shows you what your heart desires... it's a compelling picture." "Yea. It showed me my ideal life," Phaze shared. Quillerian found this to be fascinating, given that he had not seen anything at all in the mirror. Did that mean that he had no life ideal or was it indicating that he was already living it? That was something he would have to pursue...

After they got out of the garden they found themselves in an empty hall before a grand door. The sealed door was the only exit and the only other thing in the room was a statue of courser which was like the ones there were in the garden outside. "I can't teleport past this door, it's warded," Phaze reported. "I'll try to open it," Ruin said and he unfurled his lockpicking k...

Phaze came back and reported that the path he took was relatively safe but that a led to a very strange garden. They talked amongst each other again and decided to risk it. Quillerian had not known what Phaze's idea of strange was but he was still unprepared. They were now in an old garden. It was no longer green, and all the old beds were filled with dried up roots. There were about a dozen very well crafted statues which depicted both humanoids and coursers alike. The attitude...

The party was travelling slower now but everyone was still in good spirts. Phaze and Benedict were thinking up name for their mini-courser undead servants and Quill thought they were definitely rushing the matter but he kept that to himself.  The next thing them came across was an old abandoned workshop. It was filled with all sorts of bits and bobs, which Quillerian who had a thirst for knowledge was happy to see. They each took a corner of the room and started to inves...

They chose the next direction arbitrarily and ended up coming across a strange prison. Quillerian took the lead in going inside. There was a long narrow corridor and on either side there were cells. A quick check inside the cells revealed that each was filled with bones of deceased coursers, though they seemed to have had a smaller frame. "What a strange place, and what a way to die," Benedict commented, "I suppose they starved to death." "None of them seemed to try to escape. I...

Quillerian was leading this team through a new section of the dungeons that had recently opened up in their area of influence. Benedict and Ruin where behind him in turn with Phaze brining up the rear. It was an exploratory mapping trip so they had packed light and each had only brough one of their skeletal pets with them, though each pet was safely stored in a special magical container while they were in transit so that their speed was not hindered by the shuffling gate of the undead servant...

Erin was excited to be finally going on a campaign as part of the strike team. The original plan had been altered because Ravin was a person of interest in a rescue mission that was brought up, and so the original plan to include Goud in a run to the cauldron was scrapped. Flynn returned and now with three members of the strike team available, Edos made the decision to head into the more difficult dungeon taking him along. Erin was mage who specialized in light magic, he was als...
