1. Get the meat chunk Azhia to the Sparkling Fens

Events

We battle the First Blade of Gorum! In the first round, he summoned a blade barrier, and we killed one of his dogs! Combat continues! - Everyone but Green Guts is outside the blade barrier, and they all do the fighting. Green Guts decides to keep watch over the Azhia. - Balognog and First Blade go HAM on each other, but the First Blade prevails. Balognog goes down. - The First Blade takes down Argon’s dog. What a bastard! - Green Guts finally decides to venture outside, and generally has a bad time. - After a bit more punishment, the First Blade shatters into a swarm of jagged metal. - Sadly, Argon falls to the swarm. His soul winks out of existence. - Finally, after seemingly ineffectual rounds, we manage to take out The First Blade.

After the combat, Gorum appears to us, and congratulates us on our victory. He grants us a boon, despite Sheila G’s protestations: - Green Guts, Balognog, and Helga each have their armor enhancement bonus increased by 1 - Sheila G gets a new ability: Any time that SG fells an opponent of equal or greater HP than her, she has the option to scream, loudly, as a free action, granting a sacred bonus to her strength equal to that opponents’ modifier to their constitution. Lasts for (level + CON modifier) rounds.

We continue. Moving on, we arrive in a mountain fens, and the environment grows darker. Will-o-wisps dance around, with one particularly large one guiding us to Ashava. She gives Sheila G a glowing cat-tail, to use as a planar-fork to the Sparkling Fens, and a malleable symbol. She sends Green Guts back to Lon’s Thicket.

Party Swap!! Back in Rime, after a night of revelry and a morning hangover breakfast, Cayden Calien, Gartug, Randy, Chuck, and Mumm-rah all go shopping for more maps. While we depart, Randy tells Cayden Calien of his true nature. This sets off a bunch of events which eventually leads to Cayden Calien and Gartug being, essentially, placed under house-arrest in the Temple of Torag. A few other groups are also detained, and basically we’re at a point of waiting for Sheila G to return.

Eventually, CC decides he - First, he remembers going to the Sapphire Lounge. He remember being with someone who bragged about taking the trial, who CC rebuked. The other accused CC of being a coward, and walked off. CC remembers leaving him, finding some ladies at a club, and spending the evening with them. - He remembers some scrawny guy watching at the club, who, when asked about, nobody seemed willing to remember of identify. - Eventually, somehow, he finds himself in a booth with the scrawny fellow. This stranger tells Cayden Calien he has a way to cheat the Star Sapphire challenge, and that CC believed this, and that it was of great cost, but that CC refused this offer, and he left. - Norgruber, that wiry fuckin’ cunt.

AND MORE!

Eventually, SG returns, and catches up on what’s happened, and meets up with the group. We part there for the evening.
