Maolmhuire Artor climbs to the top of the Tower of Dariss, returning the scalemail to Gallo. He goes out into the night sky, looking at the moon. Suddenly, Maolmhuire is pulled forward, is soul hurtling towards a dark, watery plain where Garr stands before him. Garr asks why it is so easy to communicate with the cleric.

They talk about Tempress and ruminate on who may be Morthel's father.

Garr promises to watch over Maolmhuire, who, as soon as he is returned to his body, he uses the green Genai Stone to summon his undead, black dragon.

Reinholt talks with Dariss, who embodies Lorey's body giving information. He does not know if Ravaran knows our plan, he notes that Morthel is there, and Morthel is capable of taking divine magic.

Afterwards, Reinholt says goodbye to Lorey who agrees to watch over the Tower of Dariss and the Helvettians there.

Rasvyn casts seeming on the group as they follow the eastern river towards Myste-Hass. The adventurers appear as guards, Gartok has a collared goliath, Altibo as a plain brown horse and Maolmhuire's dragon as a black dragon.

The group enters through the southern cave system into the Myste-Hass Catacombs and then pops up through a sewer gate on the eastern edge of the Market Square. Splitting into two groups, they cut through the back streets moving towards the nicer areas of town, and Sten's House. They encounter a drunkard man peeing on the way, who runs off frightened with a little encouragement from Dramos.

Arriving outside Sten's House, there are six hobgoblin guards. The adventurers approach, Dramos identifying as Gordon who wants to talk to Ravaran. The hobgoblin indicates that Ravaran is not in at the moment, but mistress is here. The group manage to convince the hobgoblins to allow a couple of people into the group.

The women inside attempts to probe Dramos's mind, and, when this takes no affect, she casts detect magic. Corym casts silence and runs towards her. The hobgoblins hear commotion and turn on those outside. Inside, the woman casts a delayed fireball. Corym forces her down onto the ground. Harbinger runs in and kills the lady.

Hootie and Gremlin circle, seeing the light of dawn. They can see a fire in the docks. There are troops heading towards the south, the north and the market space.

Corym moves the body back into the recently used bed.

The ground shakes as a distant rumble shakes the town. There is a fire to the north of the town. The red dragon is in the sky.

Rasvyn casts locate creature on Ravaran. The wizard is a few hundred feet south, heading directly west.

Reinholt goes back to the woman, caving her face and skull in. He is filled with hate.

The party moves, the moon is clear despite the rising light and an inky darkness clings to the streets.

Father Howell sends a message to Corym - "Ravaran is here. At the arena. The prisoners are fake. The god creatures is here too." It is quiet as the group reaches the Market Square. Rasvyn senses Ravaran near. It is strangely empty here.

Ravaran calls to us. The ground in the market place begins to rise up in a column of broken rock and stone arises from the ground. A voice calls out, directly speaking to Dramos. Smoke starts to billow across the floor, and flows up the column.

Morthel appears. His huge muscular body is grey, with cracks and tears with blue beneath. His skin has now been painted white.

Harbinger calls for Altibo.

A gem stone erupts from the top of the tower, a bunch of Genai Stones collected together. A gate begins to emerge, a green ring from the Fey Wild, the red ring of Anglan, and a black ring of The Void, all moving towards the stone. Suddenly a burst of arcane energy drains every charged item, filling his stone with power that enhances his ritual.

Dramos removes the stopper from his Iron Flask and nothing happens. Corym tries to cast silence on Morthel.

Harbinger tries to hit him, but the Vorpal Sword does no damage. He punches Harbinger - hard. He dispels the magic on the silence.

Morthel calls "level the field", and a huge smokey demon drops from the second ring in the sky. The demon steals Harbinger's Vorpal Sword.

Morthel reaches up and sends a burst of energy, the mist clouding the moon.

The demon tries to crush the Vorpal Sword. Ravaran fails to throw fire from a nearby building. Dramos sets the entire room on fire, and sends in his animated ball bearings.

Morthel roots out Corym and casts Finger of Death.

Rasvyn dimension doors to the top of the rock pillar and the bag of holding is magnetised to the stone, the Genai Stones being pulled out toward the stones. The ring, which Rasvyn intended to charge on the stone, does not succeed.

Leaving Rasvyn with the stone, protected by a wall of force. Gartok leaps from the rock towards Morthel. A large smoky hand is extended from the hole in the sky.

Morthel takes Corym down, and then turns on Gartok. Moving past, Gartok notices Morthel has a flask on his belt and a stone amulet around his neck.

Ravaran continually casts Ice Storm on Dramos.

All the priests feel that the presence of their gods are closer than they've ever experienced before.

Rasvyn begins casting magic missiles at the Genai Stones.
