Vardak's Fortress, Part 3 (Kuthona (XII) 15th, 4708 AR)

-

When Vardak begun to lose the fight, his calm, collective façade disintegrated. Vardak was resistant to fire and electricity. He also cast fire shield (chill) and displacement. Beyond this, he used fireball and vampiric touch above all other spells. His barghests were also resistant to fire. Vardak and the barghests fought to the death, but not before killing Junia

Vardak did not carry the control gem for the seed of fire that hovered over Fort Thorn. Aside from Vardak’s gear, his throne was also quite valuable, containing a dozen small rubies worth 50 gp each.

The Bone Field (Lamashan (X) 29th, 4712 AR)

Seneschal's Cathedral The bones around this area are meticulously organized, creating a spiral of bone walls that lead into a small clearing. In the center of this open space reside the bones of a gargantuan dragon. The dragon’s bones have been carefully carved with the draconic word for “protector” over and over again. Despite their pristine condition, the skull of the dragon has been crushed. The heroes uncovered a green dragon scale embedded in a fragment of the shattered skull. The bones ringing this clearing are inscribed with a complex litany of protective runes, mixed in with bits of draconic prophecy. A single tongue of rebuke had been stationed here. It circled this area but did not attack until the heroes tried to leave the cathedral. The tongue of rebuke alternated between its breath weapon and roar. It fought until destroyed. The Spirit of Auronorex This location contains some of the largest draconic skeletons in the entire Bone Field. Lying in the center of these skele

Unearthing the Shrine (Erastus (VII) 15th, 4712 AR)

-
Skaldwood Very few Shoanti actually reside in Korvosa. Skaldwood is a copse of trees just outside the city proper. The Shoanti who call the Skaldwood home have worn numerous trails through the wood, connecting the many clearings where they have established semi-permanent campgrounds.  The Shoanti living in Skaldwood are wary of outsiders, but direct inquiring Pathfinders to the local sage named Telmayne Fire-Eyes when asked. Telmayne is young for a shaman, and her tall, athletic appearance often surprises those who seek her out. She is shaved bald in the custom of many of her people, and wears a scarlet bandanna tied around her head. She seemed indifferent to the heroes' problem, and studied them with a dispassionate eye as they described the conflict between Zeeva and the Aspis Consortium. She perked up at any mention of the supernatural events of the previous encounter, especially when the heroes revealed that they suspected a Shoanti connection. "I suppose I could tell you

The Market Spirit, Part I (Erastus (VII) 15th, 4712 AR)

Once the heroes completed the ritual of the klars, they experienced a sensation of dizziness and that the world was melting away. The heroes were transported to the Ethereal Plane. The Market Spirit The heroes materialized in the Ethereal Plane in the same positions they occupied when the transition started. A ghostly, gray version of the Green Market stands around them, with larger trees, small hillocks, and Galdron Greenheart's altar occupying the space. In a small clearing of sparse trees stands a solitary table of stone before a pool of clear water. A simple camp with a smoldering campfire and a large tent made from animal skins and wooden poles has been set up to the east. Superimposed over the idyllic landscape is a gray, ghostly image of the Green Market - its wagons, carts, and stalls seemingly untouched from a moment before. This image fades to mist approximately sixty feet away, revealing a great battle being fought farther in the distance on all sides. The heroes can see
