Separated in Hell, Kodak, Gordi, Lejonet, and Kogram focus on reuniting once more.

Our trio of adventurer's hit the road once more, heading towards the Ironback Forest. Gordi learns what shooting stars are, Lejonet discusses his people, and Kodak chows down on some green bacon before running into some very important bears.
Note: This session Ash (our DM) mistakenly referred to Kodak's older sister as Ursica. This is incorrect and her correct name is Ursula.

After delving deep into the caverns below the Church of the Eternal Flame in Halfway, Lejonet, Kodak, Gordi, and Eshal engage in a terrific battle with a fiendish being made entirely of chains - who wears the faces of deceased loved ones.

After staying the night at Auntie Wicklow’s, our trio is offered a valuable upgrade to their weaponry; the catch is that Kodak must be in her service for seven years, seven months, and seven days. Together with Esharl; Lejonet, Kodak, and Gordi make their way through the burnt husk of a town and delve deeper into the darkness, determined to discover exactly how these fiendish beings have been crossing into the world, and where exactly they came from.

After a nerve-wracking swim through a submerged cavern, Lejonet, Kodak, and Gordi make it through and emerge on the other side. Upon resurfacing, however, they are immediately set upon by a swarm of the undead without any time to compose themselves. After a rough and very difficult battle, Lejonet is finally and barely able to repel the decomposed masses before succumbing to Death's embrace and they escape through the tunnels. Finally, they emerge back out into the light; relieved to finally be back out above ground after a harrowing journey through the hidden horrors of what lies below. They hastily continue on their journey to answer Esharl's call and arrive at Halfway... only to find a smouldering ruin where the town once lay.

SPOILERS - DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE UNTIL YOU HAVE LISTENED TO EPISODE 9!
Immediately sensing that something has gone very wrong, Lejonet rides Midnight at breakneck speed towards the sound of Katya and Mercer Green screaming and doing battle. Kodak is racing along as fast as his bear form can possibly run, having too grown very worried at the uneasy feeling in the pit of his stomach. Despite their desperate efforts, they arrive too late to save Katya and both arrive at the same time to see her and Mercer's lifeless bodies. After futilely attempting to heal and revive their fallen friend, they resolve to bring Katya with them to lay her to rest properly. However, after setting out on Midnight and Onyx to find their wagon, they find themselves being surrounded and swarmed by even more otherworldly demonic beings. They do not even have the chance to draw their weapons before they are attacked and both stabbed in the chest, looking up at a being that should not exist before falling off the edge of reality...
...And waking up deep underground. Just as our remaining party members looked lost, they were rescued by a group of mountain dwarves including Lejonet's closest and longest friend, Finellan Fireforge. They were nursed back to health and they learn a little about the disturbances the dwarves have been experiences and realize with growing horror that fiendish beings are crossing into the world in greater strength, numbers, and regularity. With heavy hearts, they jointly prepare Katya to be laid to rest and conduct an emotional but heartfelt funeral for her along with Mercer; sharing emotions and sentiment before crafting personal touches to her pyre before sending them both to the next world. Realizing they are still in no state to continue travelling having been brought back from the brink of death, they accept Finellan's offer of temporary hospitality and resolve to continue travelling to Halfway to answer Esharl's increasingly desperate call for help after a few nights of rest and recuperation and use scrolls of sending to inform Ser Aurum and the Chieftain of Kodak's clan of their decisions and the tragic death of their companion.
Rest in peace, Katya...

Following the exhausting and overwhelming encounter with a group of knolls that was very nearly fatal to Katya, our campaign continues on their travels towards Avonleigh and Halfway to answer the desperate call that Eshal sent Lejonet during the night. As they skirt alongside the edge of the Ironback Forest; wary of what lurks within, they set up camp next to the remains of a long-abandoned hut and settle into a night of restless sleep. Unfortunately, Katya's past catches up to them and they have been tracked and discovered by an unsavoury group of bandits that seem to have quite the connection to the mysterious mauler...

After a comfortable night’s rest at the Triumphant Dragon, our trio do some quick shopping before heading west towards the ruins marked on their map. As the boys are busy procuring goods for the road, Katya spots a familiar symbol; a fence is nearby advertising their services. The three investigate, and a strange Drow (dark-elven man) informs them that they may find some of what they seek in Eidnoss.

Three strangers, Lejonet (Ben Lewis), Kodak (Billy Behrendorff), and Katya (Emilie Muldoon), meet at a tavern in the isolated town of Halfway. All three are headed for the same destination, answering a flyer offering employment. They awaken to discover that the pass was blocked during the night and they must take a dangerous alternate route through the mountains. Figuring there is safety in numbers, the trio decide to travel together and hire a guide. All is well until night fall when during one of their watches they realise they are being stalked by a dangerous foe…
