Summary LIX: What Is Known About the Deathstealers

Ahhh… Tan-El, City of Short-Term Solutions.

It is clear from divinations and communes that the supernatural LE force is
in charge in that part of the castle. Specifically, according to the Grim,
that is the Citadel, which Beck had previously told us was separate from the
other sections of the Castle Bah Nareth.
Divination: Creatures there are vastly powerful (compared to Letier). Very
rich treasure in the area…Forces of LE, vastly dominant, chances of
disturbing are moderate to high.
Any earlier reference by the Sphinx places possibilities of Ghouls very
high. Specifically, he never mentioned the DeathStealers.

Summary LVIII: Return of the Stone Soules

Still traveling as rather qualified caravan guards, the party traveled to
Sark, where Raven assumed his true form as an elf again through the use of
Kilroy’s item. He is ecstatic about the change!

In the aftermath of “that Dark Servant thing,” the Stone Soules begin a
downtime… (triumphant music)
Many trades were made in Cromwell, and by Eli at the School of Wizardry,
including the necessary teleport-damping devices and Protection from Devils
scroll in preparation for the upcoming assault on the deathstealers.
Ceydric autotrained.
Eli waited and the School of Wizardry while the party continued to
Petethal. At Teft, Sahrak left to train, Xavier trained locally, and Lorm
was contacted. Lorm agreed to join the Stone Soules in the attack on the
deathstealers, with all the protection he could amass. He also brought
Serin, his henchman mage (and an arsenal of items). In addition, Xavier
picked up two henchman– a cavalier of House Maxwell, and a fighter/mage–
as yet unnamed.

Summary LVI: The Stone Soules vs. the Dark Servant– The Final Chapter

Rangorn’s robe tore open and he tried
to hold it shut. He made a break for the stairs, and it shredded
completely, killing him before he had gone 20 feet.

Ok here goes:
We tried the proposed -Find the Path- scroll and it failed– it turned out
to be nearly impossible for it to work.
Xavier -Aid-ed himself and touched the robe, then put it on. Nothing out of
the ordinary happened and the robes were deemed safe for clerics as well.
With Star helping mentally, Raven looked up at the runes and got the message
about the three rooms. Hoping that maybe picking a fruit with a
non-personal aura object like a sword would prevent the damage, Rangorn
swung at the branch with his knife.
Out of character: the first of a thrilling series of rolls by your truly.
Edwin said: don’t roll a one– and I did.
