Return to the tower

The Vast

The Bebilith is vanquished. Mighty magics and brutal blows finished the abyssal abomination.

Heroes return to Soffleport during the fall to sell loot and buy new gear.

In late winter they set out to return to the wilds again. Bad weather delays them by many weeks and only in the spring do they reach the village.

Fellow adventurers can tell that the villains have staid put (or been kept in).

Reconnaissance by Said and Tasha reveals: Enemy seems unaware of the underwater escape route and the lake is still mostly frozen.

Kane summons the aid of many treants and trees to assault the main gates of enemy fortress to cause distraction.

Heroes infiltrate.

Cleansing of lower levels.

Jaden is encountered, reanimated as a Death Knight! Kane grapples in Woodland Avenger form. Rob, Alert and Said then destroy the pinned undead monstrosity that was once their comrade.

Moving upwards they encounter several priests in the process of unhallowing what will likely be a new temple. Battle ensues! Cultists arrive to aid their evil priests and so are a band of blackguards.

All are vanquished before the might of the protagonists.

No orcs, bugbears or ogres have been encountered. They are likely to arrive shortly...
