At the base of the Lost Peaks the party set out to continue its search for a way to remove the Mark of Thuulak, and get to Sigil to do so. The party makeup has changed. Feanor and Elros, decided to pursue their own means of removing the mark and left. However, the party was joined by an old friend Colston, A Paladin of the Raven Queen, and a new friend betrothed in our service from Lamsa, Kirroc Stonecrusher, a goliath.
Upon setting out on the journey the party quickly found themselves mired in a new mystery. A dying elf maiden was seen, and when the party moved to aid her, they were attacked by direwolves and a hobgoblin. While the party was able to kill the enemies, the elf died. Leaving only the clue of a magical shield, marked with symbol of the God Dol Arrah. Soon after, the party was accosted by a bird, yes a bird.
The bird spoke....
Telling the party that the area was infested with blood hounds and other vile servants to the Evil God Orcus. Telling them the dead elf was Oolastina Joysword, a priestess of Dol Arrah. And finally telling the party that they must travel to the temple of Dol Arrah and Release the "Light of Dol Arrah."
The party decided to endeavor on this quest, as no doors to Sigil seemed to be opening up before them.
They found a map on Oolastina, which showed the way to the Temple. In following the map they came upon a river, with a beautiful Elf Maiden there. She turned out to be a evil River Hag, and the party slew her with haste, then they ate her liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti.
They continued along the map to a small house, which initially seemed hostile, but actually held several followers of Dol Arrah. They were trying to stay safe and away from the hounds of Orcus. They did impart information to the party that the "Light of Dol Arrah" is actually a relic, that has been stolen. The party rested there for a night, and set out again on the road to the temple to capture this magical relic...
Quickly they encountered an Owlbear, who gave the party little problems and was slain. He was then roasted with beets, turnips and Montreal Steak Seasoning.
