Session 5
After bidding farewell to Lyanna Lyamford, the party rides to Newgate and take a boat to Bramwald. On the way, the boat is attacked by a group of river trolls. The party and Father Neil Karl, a cleric of Odir manage to drive them away, albeit at a great cost: the boat is ruined and many members of the crew have died. The party hides in the woods, while two wyverns are prowling in the sky. The party, Neil Karl and the remaining crew manage to arrive to Bramwald for a much needed rest. However, troubles still abound as the party receive a case containing the body of the messenger they had hired at Lyamford to give Baldur's note to the Wizard Cabal. The local head of the Cabal has Baldur jailed. Only the timely intervention of the Regent of the Mines manages to save the wizard from being transferred to the Cabal's headquarter for an official enquiry. The PCs defeat wererats who were looking for the tapestry and the platinum needle founded in Redwind's tower.
Session 6
After an uneventful boat ride to Archlis. The characters decide to reach an abbey of which Father Neil Karl told them. Unfortunately, the abbey has been taken over by yellow musk creepers and their "zombies". After defeating the plants, the characters find St. Fronaus's Sentence, a magical blade. The characters also find the culprit: a young cleric had called unpon a being named Tsathoggua who was said to grant wishes for his amusement (or so believed the priest).
Session 7
The characters move down South and enter rolling hills filled with strange tombstones made of the same black rock as the tombs near Lyamford they has explored two weeks ago. After meeting a deranged hermit/fisherman who had appointed himself as some caretaker of the graveyard and noticing that Redwind's was on their trail, the PCs hurried to a large mausoleum. Stairs leading to the darkess were garded by two huge statues while the ground was full of bones. The characters held up the needle and moved down. After dealing with ghouls, another weird hermit (a former skald of the Skandaharian people), the characters found a temple to Tsathoggua. Driga asked the toad god a question about his wife and saw a strange construction in a swamp guarded by men holding out "wands" like the one possessed by Mirko. Mirko himself asked a question and was answered that his actions could spell great disaster.
The characters also found a magical library who had great books about every single person who had lived in Blackmoor. Useful information was found on Roweena and Baldwin.
The character entered another temple who had three sections. The first section showed wizard draining magic out of the land, battling each other, afterwards, a single wizard killed the other and started to drain all the magic for himself, leaving the land dry and lifeless. A second section showed black-skinned warriors near a volcano. Thonians were led into a single file to the heart of the volcano where their soul was taken away and transformed into an hungry spirit. The third vision showed an immense flash followed by battle with great metal monsters. Another flash following by a rain of fire. Then, total destruction.
The characters met Redwind who clutched a book. He gloated that he had found the secret of the Ancient Ones. Unfortunately for him, he didn't see the great number of horrible fish-people who crawled from the nearby water and took him. While Redwind killed many, there were so much of them. The party only saw him dragged in the water and then, only bloody bubbles erupt from the water surface.
