Campaign Log

[kore]

When I started writing the Aeroneth thread I intended to use it as a log to help keep track of the campaign. In the fourth post it became Aeroneth's journal; anyone in possession of it, if they read elven, would be privy to thoughts recorded therein. Of course, Aeroneth kept it on his person and so it departed (unless David says otherwise) when he "escaped".

In an effort to continue logging the campaign, I am starting this thread. I hope to keep it free from conversational posts, but if anyone participating in the campaign wants to add something that I've missed or correct any of the facts, please do.

- Party rests after getting their asses kicked by the void slaad and losing Bax. Ravenlark arrives: she is searching for Lygis, an agent of Acererak.
- Encounters with hags.
- Skalmad is observed conspiring with Lygis. Lygis escapes death/capture. Skalmad dies, feeling betrayed by Lygis, Moran's Eye, and everyone. Recover Faarlung's Algorithm.
- Dethos, prisoner-scribe of Skalmad, is freed. Dethos, Braaga, and Delann return to Moonstair, presumably to take Bax's body with them. Party determines the means by which to use Skalmad's throne to cross over into Thelanis; leave instructions for any returning party members.
- Encounter with helmed horrors; solve the mystery of the cliff-side gate.
- Encounter with the formorian mage.
- Wilderness rest.
- Sneak past the feymire crocodiles.
- Encounter with cyclopses in the guardhouse.
- Explore the fortress. Delann returns to the party. Descent into one of the large fissures.
- Encounter with displacer beast and ghost trolls.
- Encounter with Vard, King of the Trolls. Recover Moran's Eye then subsequently destroying it and the Stone Cauldron.
- Lygis appears and colludes with the party to use Faarlung's Algorithm. He explains that Marus is the ultimate threat and that Skalmad could have been a champion of opposition; everyone serves somebody, lesser of evils, etc. The party resists at first but eventually compromise.
- Delann attempts to use the Algorithm without Lygis' help before Aeroneth steps forward and avails himself of Lygis' aide. Aeroneth becomes obsessed with solving the Algorithm and eventually suceeds, despite Mummy-John's attempts to break his concentration.
- Aeroneth is consumed by the power granted him and he "ascends", leaving the algorithm (Mummy-John tore the bag of holding from him). Lygis freely gives the Algorithm to Mummy-John, referring to him as the "son of Faarlung".

-Taking the power from the spring that fed the Stone Cauldron leaves a void that is soon filled with Mournland mist. The party flees the Feywild realm as it is consumed.
