The Farstriders are dead! All but Atherton were destroyed by the orc forces in the mountain. I'm just quickly writing this before we go to the mountain pass chamber to close it off. A lot has happened though that doesn't make any sense. The Farstriders should have been prepared, that Troll that we killed couldn't have been all that destroyed them. Our party, with the help of Atherton's immobolize spells, were able to quickly put an end to the beast. The Farstriders with their vast experience should have easily handled it. This is disturbing but what is even more disturbing is the fact that Thieves from the Shadowfeld (Dark Ones) are aiding the orcs. They live on another plane, what are they doing helping orcs?!! Even stranger she was holding a sending stone. They must have been in contact with someone. Maybe I'm just panicking and she was an exiled Dark One hiring herself out to ne'er-do-wells on this plane. I hope that's it.
This is never what happens in the books. It is always simple, we find out what is wrong, we face challenges, get through it and then move on to the next adventure. This time though I'm afraid. Who knows what we will face in the chamber. I just want to close the chambers and get back to town. I don't trust the Council they might have known about the terrible danger. Once we get back I'm going into town to figure out what is going on. Also what is this strange key for?

I think you misunderstand. The woman holding the sending stone was Jen, one of the dead farstriders. Not the dark one you battled.
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo! Maybe Arnie will shed his naive outlook!
