Following instructions
from the Psionic seal the party leave Stormpoint heading for the mountains.
Outside the city
winter has returned with full vengeance, animals lie frozen in the fields,
crops are ruined and winter wolves prowl. Hundreds of refugees are heading for
Stormpoint seeking shelter from the frozen countryside.
In the
foothills, the party are approached by a ranger Lethbron Brosial seeking aid
for the nearby small town of Fairmyr. The town has been taken over by
mind-flayers, the population either enthralled or held prisoner in the local
inn. The party agree to help free the townsfolk, in the ensuing battle
Putterick was slain, cut to pieces by townsmen held in thrall. As Putterick
died the Psionic Seal transferred itself to Goraval. The party were joined by Poll, a fighter freed
from the mind-flayers and seeking vengeance.
Moving on into
the mountains, the party arrive at their destination - a crater in a
mountainside. The crater is partially
sheltered from the atrocious cold weather. On instructions from the Psionic
Seal they began excavating a number of
“caves” some of which were sealed with a mysterious silvery substance.
Inside the
“caves” ( actually the remnants of a millennia-old Illithid ship areas of which
are sealed in a temporal stasis field)
the party found Illithids and their slaves in the throes of a rebellion.
The party were
instructed to recover four lost psionic devices from the wreckage. In the
process of searching for these lost artifacts, Paul de Velvenc fell in combat
with a vampiric Illithid and Poll, and Stern met their ends in the depths of
the crashed Illithid ship.
The party were
joined by Dog (Keith) a Vos Barbarian, Rahanna (a cleric of Cuieaécen and
Alberto (Les) a Brecht “merchant”.
Recovering the
psionic devices, the party reveal a hidden intact Illithid nautilis.
Entering the
ship the party, using the Psionic Seal
re-activate it.
The ancient ship launches, following a pre-set course,
off Aebrynis and into the unknown!
