Full Moon

The full moon rises over the Feywild as Blue is High. Rhadhar has just disappeared from the throne of Skalmad. Skelder's new eye protrudes from his eye socket, a pulsing red gem. The rest of the band follow Rhadhar into what we hope is the Feywild. We reappear again near a crossroads. We see rolling hills and trees, with the ruins of a fortress, and a door beckoning us to enter. We do.

We enter through a small hole, and we find ourselves inside, with a chasm interrupting the path.Bo Jangles does a gonad punch so Rhadhar can teleport across the chasm. Kynareth throws Bo Jangles across, and we follow the path to find pieces of a statue. Friar Jim finds a gem inside the head of the statue. It doesn't seem to be magical, but it looks very similar to the gem in Skeldar's face.

We continue to a crumbling out-building. We are hit with black fire, and a Femorian Dark Initiate comes out of the outpost. Falcon misses her with his Ray of Frost. Kynareth hits her, and she teleports a short distance away. Rhadhar attacks, but misses. She hits most of the party with a gaze, dazing us. Skelder unleases the dancing lightning, hitting her. She looks at Skelder and seems to tremble. Friar Jim hits her with Searing light, blinding her. Kynareth hits her with a spinning kick. She hits several party members with a black flame. Skelder unleashes the smoldering eye, and she shudders. Friar Jim uses Beacon of Hope and begins to heal the party, since several of us are bloodied. Falcon hits with a ranged attack, and Kynareth whiffs with 2 attacks. Rhadhar misses as well. Skelder focuses his eye on the Femorian Dark Initiate, and she falls prone, trembling in fear. We ask about the Cauldron, and she replies, "the Fortress!" We ask again, and she replies, "Vard. King Vard guards it." Worried about her following us, we kill her, and take her guard wages.
