lp13a 53: Autumnal Ritual
Saturday Nov 01, 2014
Saturday Nov 01, 2014
At Strawberry Gelato's suggestion, the party visits a nearby druid village to fill up on natural life energy, the precious fuel for the Battlevan that will be produced at the conclusion of the Autumnal Ritual. Though it is hard to say whether the team is a good luck charm or a terrible omen, they successfully ward off the sudden appearance of an elite team of ogre magi-- and one baffled lich. Thus refueled, the party sets their sights on Eridu, home of the dragonborn, returning to the southern Empire for the first time since that nasty Cathedral debacle.
