Shearphorus, Part 1 (Sarenith (VI) 29th-30th, 4710 AR)

-

One of the satyr opponents made sneak attacks. He fled when seriously injured.

The rest of the satyrs switched from foe to foe, swinging their battleaxes. When a foe was adjacent to the sneaky one, the other satyrs facilitated sneak attacks. The heroes killed the rest of the satyrs.

The glow in the center of the Emerald Shrine emanates from a standing portal made from green flickering light. The entire area around the portal has an intense acrid stink. Those who pass through the portal were transported inside Shearphorus, into the maelstrom.

Dragonfall

The Maelstrom. The heroes arrived here from the portal in the Emerald Shrine. They were greeted by total darkness and a corrosive lake full of bone shards.

A mark appeared on the heroes’ faces (except for Jule) the moment they arrived in Dragonfall. The mark was a red tattoo made up of Draconic runes around their eyes, branding them as Dragonfall trespassers.

A frothy acidic lake, tormented by a shrieking cyclonic wind, fills this hemispherical cavern. Sheer, slick walls rise from the liquid, and stalactites hang from the ceiling twenty feet overhead. A gap in the ceiling between stalactites is the cavern’s only visible exit.


Immersion in the fluid dealt acid damage, the fumes were inhaled poisons, and Zemurin risked drowning (the lake's waters were rough). The heroes faced another problem: a collection of bone shards, grossly approximating a dragon’s skull, rose from the center of the lake to a height of 10 feet and breathed a cone of acid at them. The bones fell lifelessly back into the fluid after breathing. Metal armor, weapons, and gear collect at the lake’s bottom, but all are corroded and worthless.

The Emerald Graveyard. Piles of bones fill this cavern, from inch-long fragments to foot-thick plates. Huge skulls and breastbones lean against walls that resemble petrified wood. An emerald mold covers the cavern floor and most of the bones. Although the howling wind from the cavern below is still audible, the air here is quite still. No exit is visible.

Two mohrgs lurked here among the bones. The mohrgs made hit-and-run tongue attacks.

Two zombies bear the same mark across their eyes as most of the heroes do, but otherwise resemble lifeless versions of the satyrs outside the Emerald Shrine. They were positioned close to the entrance and charged.

The Market's Vengeance (Arodus (VIII) 15th, 4709 AR)

-
The thugs drew their weapons when the heroes did the same, and fought anyone standing between them and Zeeva. When their spellcaster was killed, any remaining thugs tried to flee the market. One of them escaped, one of them was killed, while the last was captured. The spellcaster tried to employ crowd-control spells to confound the heroes. Zeeva is unarmed and ill prepared for combat. She tried to stay out of harm's way. She pled in vain with the Pathfinders not to kill the Aspis attackers. The heroes had little time after the last of the Consortium agents was defeated . The goon who was conscious to witness the haunting experience is visibly shaken. Soon after the conclusion of the Aspis Consortium's attack on Zeeva Foxglove, a haunt  manifested by animating two piles of produce into shambling mounds and the market's central tree into an angry quickwood. Despite being indoors, a terrible wind began blowing through the Green Market, shaking the tree in the central plaza and

The Bone Field (Sarenith (VI) 29th, 4710 AR)

Image
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

The few forests among the scrublands of Numeria are home to druidic elves, who use secret alchemical compounds to treat special leaves used in crafting armor for their warriors.
