Divinity

Part 1:
Having met Estel Yanza and investigated the strange beached sea life in Tallister, the party and Estel set out in her carriage to Shelburn to visit Blitz’s parents and assure them of his safety.

Damien gives the Ring of Mind Shielding (containing the spirit of Estel’s mother Krym Yanza) to Estel, who uses it to say her goodbyes to her mother.

As they travel the party become aware of a mysterious force watching them and they come across a decaying and degraded bird carcass. When they camp for the night, Malik goes off into the woods and plays dead to try and draw forth the entity watching them. Someone approaches him and comes close enough to breathe down his neck but it quickly leaves when it realises he is alive. The next day the party sense no trace of this watchful presence.

Arriving in Shelburn at night, the party head to Blitz’s home, a dilapidated building in the run down East part of town, and meet with his mother and father who are in shock to see him alive and well.

The party learn that Blitz’s brother Dane was taken away by the Countess to help defend the shores. They also meet Beira, Blitz’s 13 year old sister and Tyron, Blitz’s 10 year old little brother, is in his room sick with the Jade flu, which Blitz alleviates somewhat with a healing spell.

Damien contributes to the family’s measly supper by cooking their leftover meat supplies for them all to share and Blitz recounts the story of how his ship was boarded by ’the Red Leviathon,’ a pirate ship and how he was captured and rescued by Valkur who destroyed the ship with a storm and washed him up near Opaz with newly acquired powers. Blitz also summarises the adventures he and the party had on their way and the sinister events involving the powerful otherworldly being that destroyed South Gresham.

Blitz stays with his family as the rest of the party search for an inn to stay at.

Estel asks Damien to ‘stay in her room’ and the drunken Damien accepts. Malik and Blomf share a room and Alice comforts Cassia who is now heavily drinking at the bar.

Damien and Estel sit and talk about their directions in life. Estel asks Damien to leave the party for a normal life with her but he says he needs to find out what happened to his father before he can make a decision like that. She says that she might be gone in the morning but he’s always welcome to visit her in Richton.

At his parents house, Blitz uses a spell to purge the disease from his brother Tyron and tells him about his adventures.

After the party meet up again, Blitz is contacted urgently by Valkur in a vision where Valkur reveals that the dark threat has reached the shores and urges Blitz to stop the threat. He tells Blitz that Mieliki will lead him along the right path when the time is right.

The party then spot a glowing deer and, inferring it to be a guide from Mieliki, the party follow it to a small area of trees shrouded in fog.

“Damien’s a 9/10 apparently for anyone wondering.” - Jacob Gonzalez

Part 2:
The party follow the glowing deer and upon approaching a river ,the deer becomes a fish and leads them to an archway of falling water which the party step through and are magically transported into a cavern. A deep voice accuses them of being thieves and two large rocky creatures emerge from the ground (earth elementals).

Blitz makes effective use of the spell Shatter against the rocky behemoths Damian indulges in some acrobatic shooting and Earendell finishes both of the elementals with his magic dagger. The back wall of the cave opens and the voice permits them to enter. Entering they find a large floating orb that emanates divine power and energy.
