January 25, 2018 | Leave a comment After a night of training outside of Ebon Hold, Lorec returns home to Woodhaven to meet with Elder Kalian, leader of the Woodhaven Half-Elves. For many hours they discuss much of what lays deeper in Fenwylde Forest, far beyond the borders of their woodland home. Lorec receives some much needed advice, as well as a large gray egg that Kalian says may come in handy later! Meanwhile, Areya prays to her patron deity and receives a disturbing vision of the cleric Septimus, trapped in the forest, but still alive! With newfound information and faith, the adventurers set out to rescue the trapped cleric the next day. As they travel through the woods Lorec picks up the path that Marlowe believes will take them to the witch’s lair, leading the team with great haste! After many hours of traveling the sky begins to turn dark, forcing them to seek shelter nearby. Luckily, the path leads them directly to a cave that seems suitable to take refuge in. Not long after they enter, Areya notices a sign that Septimus was in this same area recently: the symbol of the goddess Allura, the deity worshiped by the cleric that they seek, is carved into the stone in a quiet corner of the cave. Feeling reinvigorated, the heroes continue to explore the depths of the caverns, certain that they are on the right track! As the party grows weary, they stumble upon a fresh campsite with some nearby human footprints! Unsure if their missing companions will return or if they simply passed through this area, the four friends decide to spend the night in hopes that Septimus or his team have been hiding away here.
