Donaar, a Dragonborn Paladin of Kelemvor,
Travok, a Dwarvin Cleric of Kelemvor,
Scapin the Sly, a Halfling Rogue &
myself - En'Kethradath, an Eladrin War Wizard.
Meet Vakkar, & Kaayakan.
When we wake up in the morning, Scapin is missing. We look for him and when we ask Sister Chara about him, she tells us that he left on his own last night after talking to that guy, and she points to a long-toothed stranger. Donaar confronts him and he states that he has a message for us. He tells us that his name is Vakkar, and his female wolf companion is Kaayakan. He gives us a scroll from Scapin who it seems is not the sole survivor of his villages destruction as he believed, and has gone to find them. Vakkar, a hunter of fugitives, has ties to the Court and crown of Cormyr and is legally free from Weyloon. Travok gets to know them in the way that Dwarves do by drinking and gives Kaayakan some dwarven ale, which she tastes.
Donaar and Keth go to speak with the Dark Eyed One, Vakkar meanwhile notices that Keth is showing a halo of black spellplague and asks Travok is he sees "that" but Travok makes as if Vakkar just asked him about two elves talking, purposefully being dim. Sister Chara is watching us, and Donaar notices this as well.
Deo, the Dark Eyed One, talks about the spellplague. He knows that my family is forbidden to be wizards, so why am I one? This is news to me. He tells me that it was forbidden by the Eladrin council, as my family has an affinity for demon magic and pacts and my parents didn’t tell me this part. It was my family that protected Myth Drannor from the fae demons, and the magic of my family that imprisoned them and keeps them imprisoned. He left Evereska because his family took the abyssal magic from my family – and his family is cursed because of it. It is a common Cycle of evil. He doesn’t believe that there is a connection between the fae demons and the spellplague. But we have decided that it would be best for both of us to share any future information that comes our way.
I decide then that my question of Lady Saharel shall be "How to remove the Black Spellplague without it killing us."
Donaar gets Vakkar up to speed about the Spellplague and our infection, and that we are working to go underground to get to the Tower and find Lady Saharel.
Keth creates a Tenser's Floating Disk and the dwarf travels on it after her through the water, to the underground church. Vakkar checks for fresh tracks, but there are none, even though someone has been in here. As Travok heads toward the other door, some ShadowMotes rise out of the ground and seep through the cracks in the door.
In the next room, a KnightCloak of the Dark Eclipse appears above the statue after a pulse of shadow energy. The KnightCloak lays down a Fear Zone that causes havoc, dealing damage to any "enemy" in the zone.
Keth misses her Chill Strike on the KnightCloak, and the ShadowMotes appear. Travok's Blessing allows us all to attack better. Donaar and Vakkar attack the KnightCloak and bloody him. The KnightCloak attacks with an area attack that dazes Donaar and Kaayakan. Keth sends a Freezing Cloud against the KnightCloak and some ShadowMotes. Travok moves around a Shadowmote and heads into the Fear Zone to "heals some bodies" with Beacon of Hope. Donaar breathes lightning on the KnightCloak. Vakkar swings and misses a ShadowMote. The KnightCloak gets some more cold damage from the Freezing Cloud, and shoots a Fear Bolt at Travok missing him, but tragically destroying Travok's chair. Since he attacked Travok when marked by Donaar the Knight takes radiant damage from Donaar’s Mark. Keth Fey steps out from around a mote and then scrambles onto a table to a better view of the battle. She then magic missiles the KnightCloak hitting him.
Travok throws out Divine Glow which really helps the attacking! Travok attacks the KnightCloak again, and gives everyone health. Then he uses the diving energy of Kelemvor to grant him strength as he critically damages the KnightCloak. Vakkar moves and attacks the KnightCloak blooding him again. The KnightCloak dazes Donaar & Vakkar and moves away from them so then Keth moves in and Color Sprays the KnightCloak and dazes him in return. Donaar moves to challenge the KnightCloak and Vakkar moves to block the him from fleeing. The KnightCloak attacks Donaar and Keth send a Magic Missile towards the KnightCloak but misses him. The remaining two ShadowMotes swoop in to attack Keth. Travok deals out some Radiant Damage to the KnightCloak while Donaar attacks and causes the KnightCloak attacks to be less effective. Vakkar heals his wolf and shifts to attack, sliding the KnightCloak and Kaayakan into a better position.
Keth kills a mote with a critical hit and critically misses the other mote. Travok uses Lance of Faith on the KnightCloak and Donaar charges in but misses. The wolf, Kaayakan circles in and kills the last mote while the KnightCloak attacks Donaar hitting him and shifts out of the way. Keth sends a chilling cloud at the KnightCloak critically hitting him. Suddenly, some Shadow Hulks appear behind Travok. Travok moves the attack the KnightCloak but misses, then Second Winds. Donaar moves about and attacks the KnightCloak, then he lays hands on himself. Then the Shadow Hulks come in and attack hitting Travok. Donaar brings his axe down form behind the KnightCloak and as he snaps its spine it crashes forward. And the ShadowHulks diminish in size with the Knight’s destruction.
Vakkar then attacks a Shadow Hulk and dirties his Great Axe with its black blood. The Shadow Captain heads over to the wolf, attacking it and marking it. Keth Magic Missiles a Shadow Hulk the force of which smashes it through the head causing it to dissipate. Another Shadow Hulk tries to move but the wolf and Donaar kill it Opportunely. Travok smashes into the Shadow Hulk behind him, while Donaar flanks the Captain and attacks him but misses. The Shadow tendrils and energy that was seeping up from the floor, begins seeping back into the stones below. The Captain attacks Donaar and misses, twice. Keth moves in closer and Chilling Clouds the captain. He teleports behind her and she catches his attack using her staff while Travok attacks him with Lance of Faith and he burns away due to the Radiant Damage.
We rest for a short while and heal. In the next room are stairs going down and up. There are pressure plates on the floor and grates on the ceiling. This is a water trap of some kind. The Hallway goes 150ft or more and will go underneath the tower for sure. We rest for the night and Travok uses a Make Whole ritual on his chair before turning in.
