D&D at the Games Tower

From the tombs, The Adventurers headed back to the Air Portal with Skonn leading the way. They were approached by a cultist called Aubrey Marblebelly who was having second thoughts about being in the cult and wanted out.  He asked the party to help him escape. Skonn was reluctant and eventually tied Audrey up declaring he had another prisoner to sacrifice.  Whilst Skonn marched off, Drowyn searched some long abandoned shops for armour to replace his damaged set.  Baphomet and Jarlier joined him and they were attacked by a winged creature, which would bite and hold onto its prey, temporarily blinding and suffocating them.  The creature hid behind some rubble and when Drowyn peered over he saw three of the things.  At that point the heroes turned and ran, catching up with the others at the prisoner holding area in the howling caves.   Skonn told the priests he intended to complete the ritual and the party returned to the Air Portal with one of the priests.  Lightning from the por

The Adventurers returned to the now sumptuously decorated prisoner holding area.  The priests had prepared the room in anticipation of someone they called Yan C Bin. The party rested here for a long time, waking to find the priests in the corner, murmuring in an intense but quiet debate. Desenya gestured towards Sorin, wanting to draw him away from the priests.  They shuffled to the nearest corner of the room and she revealed she was part of a delegation from Mirabar on their way to Summit Hall to lay to rest a fallen hero.  After seeing him and the party fight the air elemental, she now felt the party could be trusted.   Desenya explained that the delegation had been attacked by a different cult called Black Earth, with most of the delegation killed and a few taken prisoner.  Later the cultists form Black Earth were attacked by members of the air cult who called themselves Howling Hatred.  She asked if Sorin and his friends would help her find the survivors of the delegation and r

In the corners of the cavern, at the edge of their vision, The Adventurers noticed two large shapes forming in the darkness.  Two grotesque ape-like monsters began to appear and attack the party.  They were dispatched with surprising easily, with Sorin even arming the two battered prisoners so they could help finish off the second beast, almost literally exorcising their own demons. Balderich, Jarlier, Skonn, Smiley and Sorin pressed on, agreeing to escort the prisoners out of the caves. Arnogall, Baphomet, Drowyn and Kilnaar hung back, not engaging in combat, almost as if they were not even there.  Deciding to head to the Air Portal, the party continued down the caverns, finding four priests in a chamber, at the centre of which a brazier burned an eerie green flame.  The priests saw Skonn first and demanded to know what he was doing here.  Then they saw Jarlier wielding the legendary spear, Windvane and deferred to him.  They asked if he was here to perform the ritual and noticing
