The Saga
Fireseek 9, CY 592
Into the Cold
After a few days off, the party returns to the Obsidian Tower and an adventure to a new plane. He will send us to through the portal of wood banded in iron with etched eclipse suns, holding un-melting ice. Keyword is “Yaltargasith”. Party is to scout out this plane to determine if it is suitable for refugees.
Cast Endure elements, then head through the portal to a very cold world. After breaking through the darkness using a sun-rod, we find huge redwood trunks as we are in the depths of a very old tall forest. There are also iron sconses in the ground, but they no longer have anything to light. It is a cathedral with walls of packed snow. Party tries each of the three doors in search of signs of civilization. With nothing in sight, Gavin attempts to climb a tree, but fails. The party puts together a knotted rope on a hook and throws it up into the branches. Gavin attempts to climb up the rope, while howls from wolves can be heard in muffled by the woods. When Gavin reaches the canopy he spys wolves moving in at the edge of the light.
Party prepares for wolves as Gavin pokes his way through the canopy. Realizing he’ll have to climb another 100 feet to reach the top of the tree, he climbs back down to aid the party. The party charges towards the oncoming wolves. Evadra finds that her flame spells do not work. The party works together to take down the wolves with little trouble. Morqual then climbs tree.
Ken to Morqual falling from a tree: “Make a reflex save… wait you can’t do that. Ok, the tree attacks your reflex… critical hit!”
Morqual makes her way up the tree. Unfortunately she has problems climbing out on the branches to see out of the forest. Finally she is able to look out. This is easily the largest forest Morqual has ever seen. To the north is a mountain. To the east a day and a half away is a zigerot with lots of other ruined rock buildings around it. To the south a day away is a massive frozen lake with a number of islands which contain crude stone and wood buildings. The largest island in the center contains a keep. All buildings have stockades around them. Party decides to head to the lake.
Friendly Villagers?
After 10 hours the party starts to get tired, but presses on. At the edge of the lake, the party looks out at some small figures moving around the islands. There are also “roads” that lead to the islands. They move out towards the islands, eventually greeted by a high pitch yell. This is followed by a number of the small humanoids running out onto the ice with spears. They slowly approach the party. As they approach, the party decides these are not gnomes or halflings, but rather goblins. The party decides it may be best to leave, as there are around 25 goblins. Firing blasts to cover their retreat, the party heads for the woods. Unfortunately, the goblins are slowly catching up.
The party works together to try and slow down the goblins advance. They try and use the terrain to throw off the goblin’s ability to track them. As they try several different methods, they successfully lose the goblins. Then decide to rest for the night. Leartes protects the camp with an eye of alarm.
Fireseek 10, CY 592
Dragon in the Sky
Party heads to the cathedral, then pushes further to reach the zigarat passing many ruins along the way. At the top, the party can see a female chained to the top of the zigarat. Party climbs the stairs to approach the woman. When the woman views us, she begins crying out in some language, looking in fear and motioning to the sky. As they free the girl, a white dragon breaks through the clouds…
