== The Story So Far ==

<div class="story-book">
<div class="story-box">
<p class="story-title">Chapter 1: Memory</p>
A group of diverse adventurers, each on their own path, found themselves at '''Ironjaw's Mirth''' on the Thay-Rashemen border. Their chance meeting was interrupted by the '''Red Wizards of Thay''', led by Vezim Sepret, who '''captured everyone''' in retaliation for losses at the Grove of Stars.

Now mired in the conflict between Thay and Rashemen and en route to a slave camp, '''the party escaped''' with aid from '''Imzel Ulmokina''', a Wychlaran druid. A letter on Vezim revealed orders from '''Tharos Orakul, High Diviner of Surthay''', to slay '''"the owl"''' and capture '''"the amphibian"''' for study.

Imzel directed them to Lirensk to meet '''Galdren Murendar''', an ally against the Red Wizards. After a perilous journey across Lake Mulsantir, where they battled quippergulls and a Gelatinous Cube, they met Galdren, '''a rebel Red Wizard''' working to reform Thay. '''He tasked them with acquiring a Grand Sensory Stone from Sigil''', the City of Doors, casting their souls into the Astral Plane.

In the '''Astral Plane''', they helped a '''mathematician''' retrieve a variable stolen by a benign memory entity. Then, they escaped '''githyanki''' pursuers through a color pool to '''The Outlands''' -- after stealing their silver. Guided by a kind bariaur's words, they journeyed towards Sigil, encountering various planar entities (including water-sharing petitioners, imps, and a '''Rogue Modron''') and ultimately reached '''Ribcage''', the gate-town to the Nine Hells.

In Ribcage, they engaged in various intrigues: upgrading a Rogue Modron with infernal silver, binding an '''imp''' into servitude with the help of a '''slaad advocate''', aiding a falsely accused man, uncovering a '''cambion's''' scheme with a '''hag''', and participating in a Blood War skirmish. They finally found passage to '''Sigil''' beneath a bar stool.

In Sigil, they discovered '''Cedani's grandmother's''' ruined poetry shop and defeated the '''Summer Eladrin''' responsible. After recovering from near-death, they met with faction representatives and negotiated with '''Niara''', a Sensate Factotum, for a '''Grand Sensory Stone in exchange for locating Ember'''.

Their search brought them to The Velvet Harness inn, where a '''pegasus''' and '''deva''' led them to a vortex to the '''Elemental Plane of Air'''. There, they survived a harrowing fall with '''Ember''''s help, learning to navigate a realm where direction is a matter of perception. They landed in the courtyard of the '''Palace of the Winds''', a majestic djinn stronghold.

There, they agreed to help rescue a '''trapped djinn''' from the clutches of '''kobolds''', defeating the '''Avatar of Yan-C-Bin'''.

Victorious, they returned to Sigil, and acquired the '''Grand Sensory Stone''' at last. Joining factions and receiving pay from '''The Alley Reapers''', they returned to their bodies in '''The Rebel Estate'''.

Grateful, Galdren rewarded them with '''vast sums of jink''', a Weave-attuned sextant, and explained that he planned to use the stone to '''capture the memories of a deceased person''' who has information invaluable to their cause.

He bid the heroes rest, for now.

'''To:''' 7th of Tarsakh (The Claw of the Storms, April), 1372 DR

<div class="story-box">
<p class="story-title">Chapter 2: Convergence</p>
Returning from their astral journey with the '''Grand Sensory Stone''', the party awoke at '''The Rebel Estate''' to visions of '''Tharos Orakul''' warning '''Octavius''' away from Thay. '''Cedani''' departed for the Feywild, while '''Lilia Corydalis''', a starry witch seeking her missing coven sister, joined the group.

Sent to '''Urlingwood''' to cure '''Glenn's''' curse, the '''Wychlaran''' declared the barbs needed to be removed where they were cast. At the '''Monolith of Stars''', visions of fractured futures preceded a goblinoid assault. In the chaos, '''Octavius's''' latent '''planeswalker spark''' ignited, pulling them through the '''Blind Eternities''' to '''Mirrodin''' before willing them home.

Pursuing the stolen Monolith into the '''Underdark''', they uncovered drow treachery, slew the ogre assassin '''Vaergath''', and returned the relic to '''Urlingwood'''—shattering divination tools across the continent. In the '''High Country''', they freed and destroyed the demon '''Threxzadur''', then rescued '''Elowen Stonereach''' from the maw of '''Kissethkashaan''', the White Wyrm, escaping through another desperate planeswalk.

In '''Cormyr''', they infiltrated '''Phaulkon Manor''', battled '''illithid''' in '''Hullack Forest''', and finally broke '''Glenn's''' curse where '''Manshoon''' had cast it. '''Glenn''' emerged transformed, embracing both his nobility and his frog nature. '''Githyanki''' seekers arrived and were driven off; '''Kith'rak Gaath''' fled without his silver blade.

Flying east to the '''Endless Wastes''', they joined a paladin's quest for vengeance among warring '''Tuigan''' tribes. Beneath the '''Lake of Mists''', they destroyed an '''Imaskari''' altar of reanimation, collapsing its undead horde. The treacherous '''Qara Sarn's''' head became tribute to '''Hoar''', securing both tribes and the paladin order as allies.

'''Galdren''' revealed his purpose: capturing the memories of '''Navarra''', an ally slain by '''Tharos''' who knew of a weapon in the '''Fell Tower''' in a desert of '''purple sands'''. At her grave, his ritual bound her memories into the '''Grand Sensory Stone'''. He charged the heroes to carry it into the '''Outer Planes''', find her spirit, and deliver it—with '''Ember''' and her broken blue-tinted mask as their guides.

Bearing orb and mask into the '''Astral Plane''' and out through the '''Turquoise Color Pool''', they crossed a reshaped '''Outlands''' and the orchards of '''Sheela Peryroyl'''. Within sight of '''Ribcage''' they freed '''Tessavyr''', a rilmani pinned to the roadside by infernal spikes, who named a favor owed and bid them call toward the '''Spire'''.

In the city, '''Glenn's''' cheerful shout of "Green!" spoke the key to a hidden portal, dropping the party into '''Minauros''', where '''The Moss Hag''' loosed a dire troll in revenge for her ruined schemes. They shattered it, plundered her lair of thirty-three '''soul coins''', and burned her shop on their return.

'''Xarannos''' now ruled Ribcage, '''Zelza''' having been eaten by '''Bel'''. '''Unit 137's''' hellfire freed three innocent souls from the hag's coins. Passing to '''Sigil''' through the stool at '''The Bleeding Horn''', '''Diedric''' was pulled aside to stand before '''Selûne''' as the kobolds of '''The Howling Island''' reached home at last, and was named '''Favored'''. '''Ember''' sent them beneath the Cage to find the spirit-seeker '''Vistra Runehall'''.

Her trail led through '''Vos'Ultok''' to the deva '''Galenthias''', who carried them to '''Lunia''', where the pit lord '''Sulphaxus''' rose from the holy waters mortal and redeemed. At the '''Pavilion of Courage''' they learned Vistra hunts the spectre of a carpenter who betrayed a rebel to save a family he lost anyway. Through '''Khorvas's Pool''' they swam into '''Karasuthra''', the eternal midnight of the '''Beastlands''', a day and a half behind her.

== (Known) Active Plot Threads ==
''Last updated: 2026-07-30''

=== Main Quest: Seeking Navarra ===
* '''The Rebel Wizard''': Galdren Murendar, a rebel Red Wizard, seeks to undermine Thay to reform it. To this end, he has tasked the party with finding Navarra, a deceased ally. He seeks to reunite her spirit with her captured memories so he can find a way into the Fell Tower, in the Plains of Purple Dust, which is rumored to house a powerful weapon.
* '''The Spirit Seeker''': The party is currently tracking Vistra, a Spirit Seeker, in order to find Navarra's spirit. She is in Karasuthra in the Beastlands.
* '''Andren's Ledger''': Vistra is currently tracking the spirit of Andren, a man who betrayed his friend Tovaal in a failed attempt to save his family. She is on a contract from the Mercykillers.

=== Side Quests ===
* '''Hunting the Slavers''': Imzel Ulmokina, the druid that freed the party from captivity, was last heard to have been following the rest of the slave wagons, tracking them to their destination.
* '''Lake Mulsantir''': The lake south of Lirensk still suffers from Red Wizards having introduced aberrations in a past skirmish with the Rashemi.
* '''The Phaulkon-bane''': The clone of Manshoon who had assailed Glenn's keep is known to be heading for Chult, using the funds he made to hire the priests of Ubtao to transfer his soul to another body before this one fails him.
* '''Walking the Paths''': The party has learned of many paths (at least six) that can be tread to ascend the hierarchy of Mount Celestia. They need make a pledge to a representative of a Power to start their journey and may be asked to make a sacrifice. Upon walking the path, they will gain +2 to a chosen attribute.
* '''Namers and Berks''': Party members may seek to further their standing with their preferred Sigil faction, which may grant special abilities and privileges.
* '''The Monolith of Stars''': Still safe, it invites academic and divination study.
* '''The Elfmound''': Drenn, the drow wizard spared at Phaulkon Manor, spoke of a Permanency spell and other Netherese magics he found at The Elfmound.

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-memberpaths">
* '''The Planeswalker''': Octavius's planeswalker spark ignited and his fastbond to lands he visits continues to increase his power, collecting fragments of planes to revisit them more easily. He seeks to write a dissertation on the extinct Batrachi race, and has a Weave-Attuned Sextant ready to deliver to a Slaad in Sigil who is interested in its study, as he feels it may draw a connection between the Batrachi race and all Slaad.
* '''A Curse Turned Boon''': Glenn embraced his frog form as his curse was cured, gaining the ability to "wield it as a shield" as his father taught him. He idly joked that he should "start collecting curses".
* '''Favored of Selune''': Blessed by the Moon Goddess for his leading of the lost, Diedric has been named Favored. This connection may continue to grow.
* '''Touched by a Telthor''': Having served as a host for the Telthor of Stars, Lilia can now conjure its constellation around her. As she continues to study stars from other planes, she may grow to understand the strange ones in the night sky above the Monolith, as they do not match that of Faerun's. She has secured access to the Grove of Stars for her coven-sisters, who may relocate once Elowen reaches them with the news.
* '''The Caltrop's Covenant''': Unit 137 continues to show more Hellish influence, including the ability to summon Happy, a tortured lemure, and sporting a pentagram inscribed on his form. In exchange for his infernal immortality, Unit 137 has incurred a debt to the hells and will need to serve them for 666 days at some point in the future.
* '''The Piked Contract''': Smokescale battles with the philosophy of being indentured to a bunch of piking level-headed bloods. Do his chains even matter anymore? His speaking circle truth was "I really want to corrupt the owl, drag him down to my level".

* '''The Star of the Climbing Warrior''': Uchu Buredo, in company of Cedani, continues to seek a way to his home world of Tsunadehoshi. His lead is that a "Vine-Warrior" was spotted in The Velvet Harness by the pegasus Kai. (God the DM did a lot of worldbuilding for this shit.) He also seeks revenge on Vex'riath, the githyanki creche leader of Zar'kash's Forge, who also escaped and survived as that spelljammer ship was destroyed by Uchu's psionic awakening.
* '''Smoke on the Water''': Cedani, having received an urgent message from Soveliss, sought to rescue him from peril. He had been on the way to Evermeet to seek Tharos's true name and had asked of Cedani for a delivery of a scale from a white abishai before being captured by unknown assailants. Diedric (during a session he missed) assisted them, rescuing him from a Troll's cookpot by trading a useless bauble. Cedani and Uchu then proceeded to the Feywild, where her patron had called for a meeting of the seasons in response to her poetry shop being burned down by the summer eladrin Aula. Octavius had subsequently seen visions of Cedani and Uchu in Minauros, being surrounded by hags and the corpses of dead eladrin of various seasons. Uchu's eyes turned red.
* '''The Pursued and Pursuer''': Chai evades cultists pursuing her for her Changeling heritage. She accompanies Cove to the Sea of Fallen Stars, where she seeks to find the prison island that she escaped as a child.

* '''The High Diviner''': Tharos Orakul, deprived of the Monolith, continues to suffer from a wasting disease. In desperation, he has met with the Githyanki.
* '''The Foreseen Assault''' Octavius foresaw an attack on the monolith by Kissethkashaan, likely in the month of Flamerule (two months after Mirtul). The vision showed one faerzress crystal already shattered, two wychlaran triplets freezing and shattering, and the Monolith cracking with a yellow light emanating from the crack, hinting at something within. This was shared with Galdren, who said he'd warn the Rashemi, so they should be forewarned.
* '''Hilt's Reward''': In thanks for the party's aid in getting Xarannos to represent him in his accusation against Zelza, he told them that Fredd, a proprietor of The Shaved Coin in The Below, keeps a chest of rubies that they both gathered by using a portal to a mineral-rich pocket of the Elemental Plane of Earth. This portal lies below the fighting pits and the key is blood, so it's usually open. Hilt is also a senator of Ribcage now.
* '''A Wedding on the Wind''': The party will be invited to Ember and Zekir al-Suhail's wedding. They'll hear his voice in the wind. A greater boon was promised. This will be in two years during his coronation.
* '''The Writer''': Atrus, an author of Ages, seeks to write a linking book to a location that can cure any ailment, including Glenn's. This may take him until the month of Kythorn. He had granted the party a linking book labeled "Myst", which they could use to visit him. The tram code is half of the clocktower's set time.
* '''The Bewildered Horse''': Barnaby, the awakened horse, was not at the Velvet Harness the last two visits. Barnaby will return.
* '''The Nyaning Leonin''': Rescued from certain doom on Mirrodin, Shadespine has run off to the Rashemi Berserker Lodge to join them.
* '''The Coven and the Monolith''' Lilia's coven will soon make way for the Grove of Stars to study it and the Monolith. They owe Lilia for this opportunity, and for rescuing Elowen.
* '''The Swordmaster's Road''' Cyrus, Glenn's swordmaster, will likely have been teleported to the War Wizards of Cormyr by Galdren's teleportation circle. He'll make way to Glenn's old keep to see it restored.

* ''(Happened)'' '''Ten Seconds From Now''': An ogre crashing through the trees, charging at Octavius as he turns from facing the Monolith… ten seconds from now.
* ''(Future)'' '''Winter Comes to the Grove''': The Grove of Stars. Kissethkashaan, enraged, breathes a cone of cold in a sweeping pass. One of the faerzress crystals is already shattered. Two wychlaran triplets shatter to ice. The Monolith of Stars begins to crack under the cold — and a yellow light emanates from a large crack, implying something within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Red Rage''': Uchu and Cedani stand back-to-back in a bog beneath a dark fey sky as three hags approach from all sides. Dead eladrin of various seasons are scattered around them, sinking. Uchu looks to Cedani, who nods grimly. His glowing blue eyes and blue daggers turn red and he begins howling in a berserker rage.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Lich-Queen's Audience''': Hovering in the Astral Plane: a bald Red Wizard, Tharos Orakul, bowing and coughing blood as a colossal undead githyanki woman sits on a throne, examining her hand, projecting boredom while failing to conceal a glint in her eye. She notices Octavius before the vision fades.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Chorus of Stones''': B'ian Ch'k Ch'k kneels shirtless inside of a low wagon as dozens of sending stones begin vibrating all at once, voices whispering and shouting in various languages. He turns as he hears screaming outside.

* '''The Charmed Guard:''' Thenn, the Thayan guard charmed during the escape from the Red Wizard wagons, was taken as prisoner by Imzel. He now lives as a servant to a woman in the Grove of Stars that is foreseen to be his wife. It's an awkward relationship.
* '''The Grand Concordance''': Aristeus, a mathematician culturally spending his last days in the Astral Plane, was aided by the party who recovered a variable for him from a memory entity. His allowed him to complete a masterwork that describes the Four Compulsions and the Veil. It seems of important scientific and philosophical importance.
* '''The Silver Skiff''': Vlaakith grows irked by the unanswered theft, three fireballed githyanki, a lost apprentice, the loss of Gaath's ambush team, with one of the apprentices banished and being specifically told to "Tell Vlaakith to leave us alone!". Octavius's vision of an ill Tharos Orakul groveling before her may be of greater import however.
* '''The Lost Githyanki''': Viran, apprentice of Kith'rak Gaath, was led astray by the Alley Reapers in his pursuit of the party and is likely imprisoned in the plane of Carceri.
* '''The Doomed Noble:''' The sickly noble on a balcony in Ribcage is probably super, super dead by now. He's been replaced by a younger noble, flanked by the same red and green cambion ladies.
* '''A Hag Remembers''': The Moss Hag's scheme to secure souls with Luciel foiled, she set a trap whilst Luciel fled the city.
* '''The Alley Reapers:''' They believe Cedani is an agent for a person named Boppel, the "high-up man". They were paying her a cut of their take in the Hive Ward. While she's no longer with the party, they will consider them associates.
* '''Yan-C-in-the-Bin''': Yan-C-Bin will not soon forget the defeat of his avatar at the hands of interlopers from the Prime Material Plane.
* '''The Djinn Prince''': Rescued from a sacrifial rite, the Prince gifted the party a Carpet of Flying and promised great gifts on his wedding day.
* '''The Kobold Pilgrimage''': Spared by Diedric, kobolds worshipping Yan-C-Bin fled back to their tempestuous homeworld, now guided by a familiar moon goddess.
* '''The Telthor of Stars''': Diviners clashed and Tharos was robbed of his fate of securing the Monolith of Stars via a route in the Underdark. The Telthor still lives within, watching over the Rashemi as their tribes unite to select a new Iron Lord. Grimsnarl, an awakened wolf, invited the party's voices in selecting the next Iron Lord as the lodges gather. His own pick: "a simpleton, but his dajemma is legendary -- he travels still with the child of Bhaal on the Sword Coast."
* '''The Drow Wizardress''': Murdered by Octavius, Aunrae Drezz'Lynur was freelancing while under the guise of serving Matron Zorratha. In reality, she was playing Tharos and the duergar against each other. Matron Zorratha wonders what came of the Monolith.
* '''The Unpaid Duergar''': Expecting a payment for pick-up and delivery of the Monolith of Stars, the duergar just found an empty battleground and their gold missing.
* '''The Breaking of Threxzadur''': Octavius willingly drank of a trapped tanar'ri's power, freeing it and then defeating it. It will be reborn in the Abyss.
* '''Eight-legged Freedom''': Freed from their bonds, the goblin's infant ice spiders traveled north, to the icy mountain from which their eggs were stolen.
* '''Vix's Crown''': Sneaking through a sprawling goblin country, the party helped Vix the white kobold steal a Tuigan Helm of Command from the goblin leader.
* '''The Surviving Crossbowman''': Erik the eye-patched crossbowman was rescued from freezing to death by the party. He has foresworn adventuring and claims to be retiring.
* '''The Blood Sorceress''': Qualm and the rest of the dragon slaying party perished in Kissethkashaan's lair. The party happily looted them.
* '''The Rescued Coven-sister''': Elowen Stonereach, an offering of blood to the white dragon by the Nanraak Goblins, was rescued and whisked away. She makes way to the Dalelands to meet with her coven, who will likely travel to The Monolith of Stars to study it.
* '''The White Wyrm's Due''': Angered by the previous dragonslaying party's attempt on his life and another party escaping with his tribute, Kissethkashaan plots his revenge, remembering that one of the members of the first group was of Rashemi descent.
* '''The Piked Halfling''': Finn Fatfoot was charmed into giving up his dreamsilk and giving up Zhentarim secrets. He is on the run from authorities.
* '''The Cleansing of Hullack Forest''': A mindflayer cell, which had fled something in the Underdark, was eliminated by the party. Glenn (with the help of Shrieker) also drove the Zhentarim from his family's keep and had his curse removed. Drenn, the drow wizard in charge of this Zhentarim compound, gave the party information as to Manshoon's plans in Chuult in exchange for his life.
* '''Shrieker''': Glenn's father's Ranger General of his armies continues to patrol the region around Thunderstone, bringing justice to those that the Purple Dragon Knights cannot. Her shrieks in the night bring comfort to children and woe to brigrands. A Tuigan woman mentioned seeing her on the battlefield when Cormyr fought in an alliance against the Tuigan horde, referring to her as Glenn's father's "paramour" who saved him from an ambush. She can be summoned by lighting two pyres on the northern towers near the bridge to Hullack Forest.
* '''The Silver Blade''': Kith'rak Gaath had his entire githyanki strike force ambushed the party but were defeated. Gaath retreated, but had to leave his sword behind.
* '''Blessed Grains''': Lilia blessed the fields of the Tuigan people in an extended ritual, ensuring a bountiful harvest.
* '''The Imaskari Altar''': The party fought through sahuagin priests and destroyed an ancient Imaskari Altar that could animate undead thanks to a link to the Plane of Negative Energy.
* '''Peace on the Endless Wastes''': Peace was brokered between the Fankiang Traditionalists and Hubadai Loyalists, with the Fankiang receiving a seven year deal where they would patrol and tax the Golden Way. The Fankiang agreed to assist with Thay, and the Hubadai representative said he would bring it before their leader in Kourmira.
* '''The Justice of Hoar''': The head of Qara Sarn, a Fankiang member who attempted to leave Khan Borcha to her death, was served to Hoar as recompense for the slaying of one of his paladins. He accepted with three thunderstrikes, and Lureene Amblecrown assured that they had secured the Hoar Order's aid against Thay.
* '''Ribcage, Under New Management''': Uncovering Zelza's scheme to plunge Ribcage into the Nine Hells, Xarannos was installed as interim Duke of Ribcage. Zelza was consumed by Bel.
* '''The Third Hell's Door''': A portal to the third layer of the Nine Hells is now publicly known and guarded in the Beetle Bazaar. It's near a woman's burned-down shop. Don't say your favorite color.
* '''A Hag Still Remembers''': The Moss Hag swam through the mire of Minauros, fleeing as the party survived her trap, stole her soul coins, and even freed her Catoblepas. She may yet seek revenge or move on to safer prey.
* '''Tessavyr's Debt''': A rilmani, pinned to the earth by infernal spikes placed by a circle of succubi working for Zelza, thanked the party for its freedom, stating that they just need call its name toward the Spire should they ever need aid.

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-curiosities">
* '''The Unpowered Golem''': This still sits abandoned in the flooded depths of the Imaskari Tomb. The party also looted an Anti-Divinity Orb from the same location.
* '''The Unnamed Scholar''': The party looted the body of a female ghoul scholar with a bronze circlet, stuffing her into their Bag of Holding for later Speak-with-Dead questioning. They then proceeded to forget about it.
* '''The Bronze Rib''': A Bronze Rib in Minauros proves to be a foil to teleportation magic, although it did not look easy to move.
* '''Aunrae's Spellbook''': Aside from the Teleportation Circle spell, the dead drow's spellbook also had a loose sheet of sigils for all ten Undrek'Thoz drow-city states and the duergar city of Fraaszummdin.
* '''The Ring''': Galdren asked Diedric if Azhar, Diedric's adopted father and financier of his estate, still bore a ring with gemstones, and how many there were. Diedric confirmed there were two rubies with one inset blank. Galdren looked relieved.
* '''The Time-Skip Doppelganger''': Investigating a darkness at the heart of Thay, Galden and Navarra traced it to a doppelganger impersonating an Aglarond noble, and mid-interrogation they experienced a skip in time (candles instantly burned low) and the doppelganger was disintegrated to ash.
* '''The Interventionist Deva''': Zariel seemed like the crankiest out of the bunch at the Pavilion of Courage.

== The Story So Far ==

<div class="story-book">
<div class="story-box">
<p class="story-title">Chapter 1: Memory</p>
A group of diverse adventurers, each on their own path, found themselves at '''Ironjaw's Mirth''' on the Thay-Rashemen border. Their chance meeting was interrupted by the '''Red Wizards of Thay''', led by Vezim Sepret, who '''captured everyone''' in retaliation for losses at the Grove of Stars.

Now mired in the conflict between Thay and Rashemen and en route to a slave camp, '''the party escaped''' with aid from '''Imzel Ulmokina''', a Wychlaran druid. A letter on Vezim revealed orders from '''Tharos Orakul, High Diviner of Surthay''', to slay '''"the owl"''' and capture '''"the amphibian"''' for study.

Imzel directed them to Lirensk to meet '''Galdren Murendar''', an ally against the Red Wizards. After a perilous journey across Lake Mulsantir, where they battled quippergulls and a Gelatinous Cube, they met Galdren, '''a rebel Red Wizard''' working to reform Thay. '''He tasked them with acquiring a Grand Sensory Stone from Sigil''', the City of Doors, casting their souls into the Astral Plane.

In the '''Astral Plane''', they helped a '''mathematician''' retrieve a variable stolen by a benign memory entity. Then, they escaped '''githyanki''' pursuers through a color pool to '''The Outlands''' -- after stealing their silver. Guided by a kind bariaur's words, they journeyed towards Sigil, encountering various planar entities (including water-sharing petitioners, imps, and a '''Rogue Modron''') and ultimately reached '''Ribcage''', the gate-town to the Nine Hells.

In Ribcage, they engaged in various intrigues: upgrading a Rogue Modron with infernal silver, binding an '''imp''' into servitude with the help of a '''slaad advocate''', aiding a falsely accused man, uncovering a '''cambion's''' scheme with a '''hag''', and participating in a Blood War skirmish. They finally found passage to '''Sigil''' beneath a bar stool.

In Sigil, they discovered '''Cedani's grandmother's''' ruined poetry shop and defeated the '''Summer Eladrin''' responsible. After recovering from near-death, they met with faction representatives and negotiated with '''Niara''', a Sensate Factotum, for a '''Grand Sensory Stone in exchange for locating Ember'''.

Their search brought them to The Velvet Harness inn, where a '''pegasus''' and '''deva''' led them to a vortex to the '''Elemental Plane of Air'''. There, they survived a harrowing fall with '''Ember''''s help, learning to navigate a realm where direction is a matter of perception. They landed in the courtyard of the '''Palace of the Winds''', a majestic djinn stronghold.

There, they agreed to help rescue a '''trapped djinn''' from the clutches of '''kobolds''', defeating the '''Avatar of Yan-C-Bin'''.

Victorious, they returned to Sigil, and acquired the '''Grand Sensory Stone''' at last. Joining factions and receiving pay from '''The Alley Reapers''', they returned to their bodies in '''The Rebel Estate'''.

Grateful, Galdren rewarded them with '''vast sums of jink''', a Weave-attuned sextant, and explained that he planned to use the stone to '''capture the memories of a deceased person''' who has information invaluable to their cause.

He bid the heroes rest, for now.

'''From:''' 3rd of Tarsakh (The Claw of the Storms, April), 1372 DR

'''To:''' 7th of Tarsakh (The Claw of the Storms, April), 1372 DR

<div class="story-box">
<p class="story-title">Chapter 2: Convergence</p>
Returning from their astral journey with the '''Grand Sensory Stone''', the party awoke at '''The Rebel Estate''' to visions of '''Tharos Orakul''' warning '''Octavius''' away from Thay. '''Cedani''' departed for the Feywild, while '''Lilia Corydalis''', a starry witch seeking her missing coven sister, joined the group.

Sent to '''Urlingwood''' to cure '''Glenn's''' curse, the '''Wychlaran''' declared the barbs needed to be removed where they were cast. At the '''Monolith of Stars''', visions of fractured futures preceded a goblinoid assault. In the chaos, '''Octavius's''' latent '''planeswalker spark''' ignited, pulling them through the '''Blind Eternities''' to '''Mirrodin''' before willing them home.

Pursuing the stolen Monolith into the '''Underdark''', they uncovered drow treachery, slew the ogre assassin '''Vaergath''', and returned the relic to '''Urlingwood'''—shattering divination tools across the continent. In the '''High Country''', they freed and destroyed the demon '''Threxzadur''', then rescued '''Elowen Stonereach''' from the maw of '''Kissethkashaan''', the White Wyrm, escaping through another desperate planeswalk.

In '''Cormyr''', they infiltrated '''Phaulkon Manor''', battled '''illithid''' in '''Hullack Forest''', and finally broke '''Glenn's''' curse where '''Manshoon''' had cast it. '''Glenn''' emerged transformed, embracing both his nobility and his frog nature. '''Githyanki''' seekers arrived and were driven off; '''Kith'rak Gaath''' fled without his silver blade.

Flying east to the '''Endless Wastes''', they joined a paladin's quest for vengeance among warring '''Tuigan''' tribes. Beneath the '''Lake of Mists''', they destroyed an '''Imaskari''' altar of reanimation, collapsing its undead horde. The treacherous '''Qara Sarn's''' head became tribute to '''Hoar''', securing both tribes and the paladin order as allies.

'''Galdren''' revealed his purpose: capturing the memories of '''Navarra''', an ally slain by '''Tharos''' who knew of a weapon in the '''Fell Tower''' in a desert of '''purple sands'''. At her grave, his ritual bound her memories into the '''Grand Sensory Stone'''. He charged the heroes to carry it into the '''Outer Planes''', find her spirit, and deliver it—with '''Ember''' and her broken blue-tinted mask as their guides.

Bearing orb and mask into the '''Astral Plane''' and out through the '''Turquoise Color Pool''', they crossed a reshaped '''Outlands''' and the orchards of '''Sheela Peryroyl'''. Within sight of '''Ribcage''' they freed '''Tessavyr''', a rilmani pinned to the roadside by infernal spikes, who named a favor owed and bid them call toward the '''Spire'''.

In the city, '''Glenn's''' cheerful shout of "Green!" spoke the key to a hidden portal, dropping the party into '''Minauros''', where '''The Moss Hag''' loosed a dire troll in revenge for her ruined schemes. They shattered it, plundered her lair of thirty-three '''soul coins''', and burned her shop on their return.

'''Xarannos''' now ruled Ribcage, '''Zelza''' having been eaten by '''Bel'''. '''Unit 137's''' hellfire freed three innocent souls from the hag's coins. Passing to '''Sigil''' through the stool at '''The Bleeding Horn''', '''Diedric''' was pulled aside to stand before '''Selûne''' as the kobolds of '''The Howling Island''' reached home at last, and was named '''Favored'''. '''Ember''' sent them beneath the Cage to find the spirit-seeker '''Vistra Runehall'''.

Her trail led through '''Vos'Ultok''' to the deva '''Galenthias''', who carried them to '''Lunia''', where the pit lord '''Sulphaxus''' rose from the holy waters mortal and redeemed. At the '''Pavilion of Courage''' they learned Vistra hunts the spectre of a carpenter who betrayed a rebel to save a family he lost anyway. Through '''Khorvas's Pool''' they swam into '''Karasuthra''', the eternal midnight of the '''Beastlands''', a day and a half behind her.

== (Known) Active Plot Threads ==
''Last updated: 2026-07-30''

=== Main Quest: Seeking Navarra ===
* '''The Rebel Wizard''': Galdren Murendar, a rebel Red Wizard, seeks to undermine Thay to reform it. To this end, he has tasked the party with finding Navarra, a deceased ally. He seeks to reunite her spirit with her captured memories so he can find a way into the Fell Tower, in the Plains of Purple Dust, which is rumored to house a powerful weapon.
* '''The Spirit Seeker''': The party is currently tracking Vistra, a Spirit Seeker, in order to find Navarra's spirit. She is in Karasuthra in the Beastlands.
* '''Andren's Ledger''': Vistra is currently tracking the spirit of Andren, a man who betrayed his friend Tovaal in a failed attempt to save his family. She is on a contract from the Mercykillers.

=== Side Quests ===
* '''Hunting the Slavers''': Imzel Ulmokina, the druid that freed the party from captivity, was last heard to have been following the rest of the slave wagons, tracking them to their destination.
* '''Lake Mulsantir''': The lake south of Lirensk still suffers from Red Wizards having introduced aberrations in a past skirmish with the Rashemi.
* '''The Phaulkon-bane''': The clone of Manshoon who had assailed Glenn's keep is known to be heading for Chult, using the funds he made to hire the priests of Ubtao to transfer his soul to another body before this one fails him.
* '''Walking the Paths''': The party has learned of many paths (at least six) that can be tread to ascend the hierarchy of Mount Celestia. They need make a pledge to a representative of a Power to start their journey and may be asked to make a sacrifice. Upon walking the path, they will gain +2 to a chosen attribute.
* '''Namers and Berks''': Party members may seek to further their standing with their preferred Sigil faction, which may grant special abilities and privileges.
* '''The Monolith of Stars''': Still safe, it invites academic and divination study.
* '''The Elfmound''': Drenn, the drow wizard spared at Phaulkon Manor, spoke of a Permanency spell and other Netherese magics he found at The Elfmound.

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-memberpaths">
* '''The Planeswalker''': Octavius's planeswalker spark ignited and his fastbond to lands he visits continues to increase his power, collecting fragments of planes to revisit them more easily. He seeks to write a dissertation on the extinct Batrachi race, and has a Weave-Attuned Sextant ready to deliver to a Slaad in Sigil who is interested in its study, as he feels it may draw a connection between the Batrachi race and all Slaad.
* '''A Curse Turned Boon''': Glenn embraced his frog form as his curse was cured, gaining the ability to "wield it as a shield" as his father taught him. He idly joked that he should "start collecting curses".
* '''Favored of Selune''': Blessed by the Moon Goddess for his leading of the lost, Diedric has been named Favored. This connection may continue to grow.
* '''Touched by a Telthor''': Having served as a host for the Telthor of Stars, Lilia can now conjure its constellation around her. As she continues to study stars from other planes, she may grow to understand the strange ones in the night sky above the Monolith, as they do not match that of Faerun's. She has secured access to the Grove of Stars for her coven-sisters, who may relocate once Elowen reaches them with the news.
* '''The Caltrop's Covenant''': Unit 137 continues to show more Hellish influence, including the ability to summon Happy, a tortured lemure, and sporting a pentagram inscribed on his form. In exchange for his infernal immortality, Unit 137 has incurred a debt to the hells and will need to serve them for 666 days at some point in the future.
* '''The Piked Contract''': Smokescale battles with the philosophy of being indentured to a bunch of piking level-headed bloods. Do his chains even matter anymore? His speaking circle truth was "I really want to corrupt the owl, drag him down to my level".

* '''The Star of the Climbing Warrior''': Uchu Buredo, in company of Cedani, continues to seek a way to his home world of Tsunadehoshi. His lead is that a "Vine-Warrior" was spotted in The Velvet Harness by the pegasus Kai. (God the DM did a lot of worldbuilding for this shit.) He also seeks revenge on Vex'riath, the githyanki creche leader of Zar'kash's Forge, who also escaped and survived as that spelljammer ship was destroyed by Uchu's psionic awakening.
* '''Smoke on the Water''': Cedani, having received an urgent message from Soveliss, sought to rescue him from peril. He had been on the way to Evermeet to seek Tharos's true name and had asked of Cedani for a delivery of a scale from a white abishai before being captured by unknown assailants. Diedric (during a session he missed) assisted them, rescuing him from a Troll's cookpot by trading a useless bauble. Cedani and Uchu then proceeded to the Feywild, where her patron had called for a meeting of the seasons in response to her poetry shop being burned down by the summer eladrin Aula. Octavius had subsequently seen visions of Cedani and Uchu in Minauros, being surrounded by hags and the corpses of dead eladrin of various seasons. Uchu's eyes turned red.
* '''The Pursued and Pursuer''': Chai evades cultists pursuing her for her Changeling heritage. She accompanies Cove to the Sea of Fallen Stars, where she seeks to find the prison island that she escaped as a child.

* '''The High Diviner''': Tharos Orakul, deprived of the Monolith, continues to suffer from a wasting disease. In desperation, he has met with the Githyanki.
* '''The Foreseen Assault''' Octavius foresaw an attack on the monolith by Kissethkashaan, likely in the month of Flamerule (two months after Mirtul). The vision showed one faerzress crystal already shattered, two wychlaran triplets freezing and shattering, and the Monolith cracking with a yellow light emanating from the crack, hinting at something within. This was shared with Galdren, who said he'd warn the Rashemi, so they should be forewarned.
* '''Hilt's Reward''': In thanks for the party's aid in getting Xarannos to represent him in his accusation against Zelza, he told them that Fredd, a proprietor of The Shaved Coin in The Below, keeps a chest of rubies that they both gathered by using a portal to a mineral-rich pocket of the Elemental Plane of Earth. This portal lies below the fighting pits and the key is blood, so it's usually open. Hilt is also a senator of Ribcage now.
* '''A Wedding on the Wind''': The party will be invited to Ember and Zekir al-Suhail's wedding. They'll hear his voice in the wind. A greater boon was promised. This will be in two years during his coronation.
* '''The Writer''': Atrus, an author of Ages, seeks to write a linking book to a location that can cure any ailment, including Glenn's. This may take him until the month of Kythorn. He had granted the party a linking book labeled "Myst", which they could use to visit him. The tram code is half of the clocktower's set time.
* '''The Bewildered Horse''': Barnaby, the awakened horse, was not at the Velvet Harness the last two visits. Barnaby will return.
* '''The Nyaning Leonin''': Rescued from certain doom on Mirrodin, Shadespine has run off to the Rashemi Berserker Lodge to join them.
* '''The Coven and the Monolith''' Lilia's coven will soon make way for the Grove of Stars to study it and the Monolith. They owe Lilia for this opportunity, and for rescuing Elowen.
* '''The Swordmaster's Road''' Cyrus, Glenn's swordmaster, will likely have been teleported to the War Wizards of Cormyr by Galdren's teleportation circle. He'll make way to Glenn's old keep to see it restored.

* ''(Happened)'' '''Ten Seconds From Now''': An ogre crashing through the trees, charging at Octavius as he turns from facing the Monolith… ten seconds from now.
* ''(Future)'' '''Winter Comes to the Grove''': The Grove of Stars. Kissethkashaan, enraged, breathes a cone of cold in a sweeping pass. One of the faerzress crystals is already shattered. Two wychlaran triplets shatter to ice. The Monolith of Stars begins to crack under the cold — and a yellow light emanates from a large crack, implying something within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Red Rage''': Uchu and Cedani stand back-to-back in a bog beneath a dark fey sky as three hags approach from all sides. Dead eladrin of various seasons are scattered around them, sinking. Uchu looks to Cedani, who nods grimly. His glowing blue eyes and blue daggers turn red and he begins howling in a berserker rage.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Lich-Queen's Audience''': Hovering in the Astral Plane: a bald Red Wizard, Tharos Orakul, bowing and coughing blood as a colossal undead githyanki woman sits on a throne, examining her hand, projecting boredom while failing to conceal a glint in her eye. She notices Octavius before the vision fades.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Chorus of Stones''': B'ian Ch'k Ch'k kneels shirtless inside of a low wagon as dozens of sending stones begin vibrating all at once, voices whispering and shouting in various languages. He turns as he hears screaming outside.

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-consequences">
* '''The Mirth of the Ironjaws''': With Hulmarra Ironjaw's death, and the burning of Ironjaw's Mirth, her surviving 11 sisters are likely to have heard of the events by now.
* '''The Charmed Guard:''' Thenn, the Thayan guard charmed during the escape from the Red Wizard wagons, was taken as prisoner by Imzel. He now lives as a servant to a woman in the Grove of Stars that is foreseen to be his wife. It's an awkward relationship.
* '''The Grand Concordance''': Aristeus, a mathematician culturally spending his last days in the Astral Plane, was aided by the party who recovered a variable for him from a memory entity. His allowed him to complete a masterwork that describes the Four Compulsions and the Veil. It seems of important scientific and philosophical importance.
* '''The Silver Skiff''': Vlaakith grows irked by the unanswered theft, three fireballed githyanki, a lost apprentice, the loss of Gaath's ambush team, with one of the apprentices banished and being specifically told to "Tell Vlaakith to leave us alone!". Octavius's vision of an ill Tharos Orakul groveling before her may be of greater import however.
* '''The Lost Githyanki''': Viran, apprentice of Kith'rak Gaath, was led astray by the Alley Reapers in his pursuit of the party and is likely imprisoned in the plane of Carceri.
* '''The Doomed Noble:''' The sickly noble on a balcony in Ribcage is probably super, super dead by now. He's been replaced by a younger noble, flanked by the same red and green cambion ladies.
* '''A Hag Remembers''': The Moss Hag's scheme to secure souls with Luciel foiled, she set a trap whilst Luciel fled the city.
* '''The Alley Reapers:''' They believe Cedani is an agent for a person named Boppel, the "high-up man". They were paying her a cut of their take in the Hive Ward. While she's no longer with the party, they will consider them associates.
* '''Yan-C-in-the-Bin''': Yan-C-Bin will not soon forget the defeat of his avatar at the hands of interlopers from the Prime Material Plane.
* '''The Djinn Prince''': Rescued from a sacrifial rite, the Prince gifted the party a Carpet of Flying and promised great gifts on his wedding day.
* '''The Kobold Pilgrimage''': Spared by Diedric, kobolds worshipping Yan-C-Bin fled back to their tempestuous homeworld, now guided by a familiar moon goddess.
* '''The Telthor of Stars''': Diviners clashed and Tharos was robbed of his fate of securing the Monolith of Stars via a route in the Underdark. The Telthor still lives within, watching over the Rashemi as their tribes unite to select a new Iron Lord. Grimsnarl, an awakened wolf, invited the party's voices in selecting the next Iron Lord as the lodges gather. His own pick: "a simpleton, but his dajemma is legendary -- he travels still with the child of Bhaal on the Sword Coast."
* '''The Drow Wizardress''': Murdered by Octavius, Aunrae Drezz'Lynur was freelancing while under the guise of serving Matron Zorratha. In reality, she was playing Tharos and the duergar against each other. Matron Zorratha wonders what came of the Monolith.
* '''The Unpaid Duergar''': Expecting a payment for pick-up and delivery of the Monolith of Stars, the duergar just found an empty battleground and their gold missing.
* '''The Breaking of Threxzadur''': Octavius willingly drank of a trapped tanar'ri's power, freeing it and then defeating it. It will be reborn in the Abyss.
* '''Eight-legged Freedom''': Freed from their bonds, the goblin's infant ice spiders traveled north, to the icy mountain from which their eggs were stolen.
* '''Vix's Crown''': Sneaking through a sprawling goblin country, the party helped Vix the white kobold steal a Tuigan Helm of Command from the goblin leader.
* '''The Surviving Crossbowman''': Erik the eye-patched crossbowman was rescued from freezing to death by the party. He has foresworn adventuring and claims to be retiring.
* '''The Blood Sorceress''': Qualm and the rest of the dragon slaying party perished in Kissethkashaan's lair. The party happily looted them.
* '''The Rescued Coven-sister''': Elowen Stonereach, an offering of blood to the white dragon by the Nanraak Goblins, was rescued and whisked away. She makes way to the Dalelands to meet with her coven, who will likely travel to The Monolith of Stars to study it.
* '''The White Wyrm's Due''': Angered by the previous dragonslaying party's attempt on his life and another party escaping with his tribute, Kissethkashaan plots his revenge, remembering that one of the members of the first group was of Rashemi descent.
* '''The Piked Halfling''': Finn Fatfoot was charmed into giving up his dreamsilk and giving up Zhentarim secrets. He is on the run from authorities.
* '''The Cleansing of Hullack Forest''': A mindflayer cell, which had fled something in the Underdark, was eliminated by the party. Glenn (with the help of Shrieker) also drove the Zhentarim from his family's keep and had his curse removed. Drenn, the drow wizard in charge of this Zhentarim compound, gave the party information as to Manshoon's plans in Chuult in exchange for his life.
* '''Shrieker''': Glenn's father's Ranger General of his armies continues to patrol the region around Thunderstone, bringing justice to those that the Purple Dragon Knights cannot. Her shrieks in the night bring comfort to children and woe to brigrands. A Tuigan woman mentioned seeing her on the battlefield when Cormyr fought in an alliance against the Tuigan horde, referring to her as Glenn's father's "paramour" who saved him from an ambush. She can be summoned by lighting two pyres on the northern towers near the bridge to Hullack Forest.
* '''The Silver Blade''': Kith'rak Gaath had his entire githyanki strike force ambushed the party but were defeated. Gaath retreated, but had to leave his sword behind.
* '''Blessed Grains''': Lilia blessed the fields of the Tuigan people in an extended ritual, ensuring a bountiful harvest.
* '''The Imaskari Altar''': The party fought through sahuagin priests and destroyed an ancient Imaskari Altar that could animate undead thanks to a link to the Plane of Negative Energy.
* '''Peace on the Endless Wastes''': Peace was brokered between the Fankiang Traditionalists and Hubadai Loyalists, with the Fankiang receiving a seven year deal where they would patrol and tax the Golden Way. The Fankiang agreed to assist with Thay, and the Hubadai representative said he would bring it before their leader in Kourmira.
* '''The Justice of Hoar''': The head of Qara Sarn, a Fankiang member who attempted to leave Khan Borcha to her death, was served to Hoar as recompense for the slaying of one of his paladins. He accepted with three thunderstrikes, and Lureene Amblecrown assured that they had secured the Hoar Order's aid against Thay.
* '''Ribcage, Under New Management''': Uncovering Zelza's scheme to plunge Ribcage into the Nine Hells, Xarannos was installed as interim Duke of Ribcage. Zelza was consumed by Bel.
* '''The Third Hell's Door''': A portal to the third layer of the Nine Hells is now publicly known and guarded in the Beetle Bazaar. It's near a woman's burned-down shop. Don't say your favorite color.
* '''A Hag Still Remembers''': The Moss Hag swam through the mire of Minauros, fleeing as the party survived her trap, stole her soul coins, and even freed her Catoblepas. She may yet seek revenge or move on to safer prey.
* '''Tessavyr's Debt''': A rilmani, pinned to the earth by infernal spikes placed by a circle of succubi working for Zelza, thanked the party for its freedom, stating that they just need call its name toward the Spire should they ever need aid.

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-curiosities">
* '''The Unpowered Golem''': This still sits abandoned in the flooded depths of the Imaskari Tomb. The party also looted an Anti-Divinity Orb from the same location.
* '''The Unnamed Scholar''': The party looted the body of a female ghoul scholar with a bronze circlet, stuffing her into their Bag of Holding for later Speak-with-Dead questioning. They then proceeded to forget about it.
* '''The Bronze Rib''': A Bronze Rib in Minauros proves to be a foil to teleportation magic, although it did not look easy to move.
* '''Aunrae's Spellbook''': Aside from the Teleportation Circle spell, the dead drow's spellbook also had a loose sheet of sigils for all ten Undrek'Thoz drow-city states and the duergar city of Fraaszummdin.
* '''The Ring''': Galdren asked Diedric if Azhar, Diedric's adopted father and financier of his estate, still bore a ring with gemstones, and how many there were. Diedric confirmed there were two rubies with one inset blank. Galdren looked relieved.
* '''The Time-Skip Doppelganger''': Investigating a darkness at the heart of Thay, Galden and Navarra traced it to a doppelganger impersonating an Aglarond noble, and mid-interrogation they experienced a skip in time (candles instantly burned low) and the doppelganger was disintegrated to ash.
* '''The Interventionist Deva''': Zariel seemed like the crankiest out of the bunch at the Pavilion of Courage.

Diedric's healing and Lilia's Toll the Dead opened the warded door, revealing a vast cavern and a beholder made of darkness. The party slammed the door shut, and Lilia carved a warning from her coven into the floor.

They negotiated with two carrion crawlers and searched their nest for the missing half of the yin-yang, but came up empty. The half turned up inside the sick flail snail instead: Lilia diagnosed a blockage, and Glenn pressed on its belly until it retched the piece up. They fused the halves and placed the symbol in the inset between the temples, which revealed a jade figurine. The Beast they summoned from it called the party unworthy, until a hasted Tyrannosaurus Glenn bloodied it in a single round. It then bound itself to the party.

After a night underground, Octavius planeswalked the party to the edge of Arborea. There they found Navarra living as an exploring petitioner. The Grand Sensory Stone gave back her memories and brought her back to life. Navarra Murendar, now sure Galdren had sent them, demanded to be taken to him so she could kill her husband (probably not literally). Then she rode her sandstone skimmer down the waterfall as the session ended.

== XP Award ==
* 200 XP for opening the warded door with life and death
* 500 XP for meeting The Death Tyrant and living to carve a warning about it
* 250 XP for parleying past the carrion crawlers
* 175 XP for curing the sickly flail snail
* 300 XP for recovering the second half of the Cycle
* 975 XP for handily defeating The Beast
* 800 XP for earning The Beast's bond
* 500 XP for planeswalking to the edge of Arborea, where Aquallor falls into Mithardir
* '''Breaking the Cycle:''' 3000 XP for reuniting Navarra with her memories and breaking the cycle of life and death
* '''Planar Oddity:''' 1500 XP for witnessing a soul and its memories rejoin, reversing the split of the Astral crossing that happens when a mortal dies
* '''Total: 8200 XP'''
* '''Current XP: 76802 XP -> 85002 XP''' (Level 10 -> Level 11!)
* ''(Required for next level: 100000 XP)''

== Things That Happened ==

=== The Warded Door ===
* '''Date:''' 4th of Mirtur, evening, 1372 DR
* Vistra and the wolf gone, the party approached the warded stone door depicting two trees - one alive, and one dead. It also contained wardings to keep out underground creatures.
* They pushed on it and said "friend" in a couple of languages. Nothing. Worth a shot.
* Glenn briefly considered using his dwarven shovel.
* Lilia found small finger-sized places in both the dead tree and the living one.
* After some arcane theorizing, Diedric channeled a healing spell into the living side and Lilia tolled the dead on the death side.
* The door scraped open as the Toll the Dead sound effect did some foreshadowing, revealing an alcove into a vast underground cavern, reminiscent of the Underdark in Faerun.

=== Beyond the Door ===
* A petrified arm lay on the floor, still sleeved.
* Octavius cast a Fire Bolt into the darkness, which lit dozens of eyes alongside cavern walls, along with illuminating a vast underground lake a hundred feet below.
* An inverted, undead roar answered. A many-stalked ball of darkness hovered into view, a single large eye framed beneath by a maw of razorsharp black teeth. A beholder made of darkness.
* The party pushed the doors shut as beams began shooting out of the creature's stalks. There was an appropriate amount of screaming.

=== The Coven's Warning ===
* Borrowing Glenn's dwarven shovel, Lilia artfully carved a message into the floor before the stone door, a warning to all from her coven:
** "Danger danger. Beholder beyond. Don't be stupid."

=== The Crawlers' Nest ===
* Still seeking the other half of the yin-yang symbol, the party backtracked up the temple to areas yet unexplored.
* They encounted two carrion crawlers in a chamber with an underground pool.
* They had an initially stand-offish conversation, asking if they knew where they could find the other half of the yin-yang. The lighter-colored crawler seemed to recognize it.
* After some negotiating and currying favor for slaying The Feaster, the party convinced the crawlers to allow them to, under supervision, explore their nest in search of it.
* The party explored their nest of carved hollows, with quivering eggs in green and purple slime.
* Detect Magic was also employed, but found nothing of interest.
* The party warned the crawlers about the beholder and backtracked to the snail impeding the path into the dead side's sleeping quarters.

=== The Sickly Snail ===
* The party began a valliant charge toward the giant flail snail, who looked up as it sensed their movement. Curled up as it was, Lilia recognized that it was ill.
* She diagnosed that its stomach was distended from an obstruction, and convinced it that they intended no harm.
* Octavius's detect magic revealed an object with magical weavings similar to that of the other half of the yin-yang. It had likely consumed it when consuming bodies of the druids.
* With Lilia's medical guidance, Glenn pressed on the snail's belly to cause it to retch.
* Glenn stepped aside as a mass of orange bile exited the creature, including the darker half of the yin-yang symbol.
** Lilia promptly presto-ed the symbol to a pristine condition.
* They chatted for a while, asking if it liked being a snail. It indicated it felt safe in its irisdescent shell.
* Glenn joined the two halves of the yin-yang in his hands, and they fused together. He remarked it would make an interesting shield.

=== The Dead Side's Dormitory ===

* The party entered the room explored by Alaundo earlier in the session -- a century-abandoned sleeping quarters composed of ancient hides on the ground.
* Octavius flipped over a hide to reveal this side's journal and got to work reading the subtle and intricate worldbuilding set in place.
** The journal stereotypically described, fit for a two-digit IQ party, in feral druidic: <i>"Let the beasts take them and us alike. We encroached on their domain and built this abomination. If we die, we did not deserve to survive -- such is the Cycle and Malar's will. I'll never release Allegon's prize from my clutches -- as he could sense it with his magics should I try to hide or bury it. The Beast is a coward's crutch and he shall not have my half. I will drink his blood from his skull."</i>
* With that exposition done, the party headed outside, to the inset between the two temples.

=== The Beast ===
* Glenn placed the yin-yang symbol into the inset between the two temples.
** It glowed with a golden light and split apart, revealing an extradimensional space bearing a jade figurine of a strange lizard-like beast with wicked teeth that stood on two powerful legs, with two vestigial arms.
** Lilia recognized this as a summoning figurine.
** Octavius cast an Identify spell, confirming that it was a conjuration item, currently unbonded to any living thing, and that it may not fully function.
* Reading an action to banish it, Lilia willed the warm figurine to summon.
* From golden mists, a mighty beast emerged, the ground shaking as it burst forth.
* It spoke: "Where are Allegon and Mellogon? They are late to the hunt."
* It then noticed the state of temple, and asked how long it had been. The party guessed about a hundred years.
* When asked, it said it was called The Beast.
* It kicked its own figurine back into the alcove, stating the the party was not worthy of being bonded to him.

=== The Worthy ===
* Glenn roared in challenge as Lilia transformed him into Tyrannosaurus Rex and a Haste spell was placed upon him. He retained his beastial aspect, with non-vestigial bear arms and legs, along with a patch of green-brown fur running down his spine.
* Roaring in delight, The Beast charged Glenn.
* In a single round, Glenn wrestled, downed, and tore at The Beast, bloodying it.
* Approving of their might, The Beast spun its tail over the party, binding them with golden energies to the figurine.
* It explained it can be summoned every moon and disappear back into the figurine, which was now cool to the touch.
* Glenn stowed the two halves in the bag of holding.

=== A Night Underground ===
* In the living side's sleeping quarters, the party camped underground in Diedric's tiny hut.
* '''Date:''' 5th of Mirtul, morning, 1372 DR
* In his sleep, Octavius saw his vision of B'ian Ch'k Ch'k. B'ian was fully clothed and awake in bed this time, grabbing a satchel hanging on a hook when the sending stones went off, mouthing a quick thank you in the rough direction of the observer.
* The carrion crawlers explored the area while time passed, including tapping curiously on the hut's spherical exterior.

=== To the Edge of Infinity ===
* Navarra's mask in hand and description of her location firmly in mind, Octavius drew power from his bond to the Astral Plane. Rising into the air, a five-pointed flame blossomed in his chest as he planeswalked the party.
* They careened through the Blind Eternities as golden motes of light, criss-crossing stone paths visible below them, until they thundered into knee-high water.
* Diedric immediately felt a presence watching him, only for it to turn its gaze.
* Visible before them was the edge of an infinite ocean, its waters falling an unfathomable height to become mists extending into an infinite plane of white desert.
** They knew, from Vista and Octavius's planar knowledge, that they were on Arborea, on the edge of its second layer, Aquallor, and its third layer, Mithardir.
** Octavius knew that Mithardir was an infinite expanse of lifeless white desert and ruins, with scholars debating whether this was the abandoned prior home of the Egyptian pantheon, or a place where Animal Lords once lived before moving to the Beastlands, or a place once inhabited by titanic creatures.
** He also knew of the dual nature of its first layer, Olympus and Arvandor, never visible to each other.
* The waters were shallow and warm, with schools of colorful fish swimming among coral-like structures.
* On a small rocky island, surrounded by bluebells, they saw a simple wooden cabin. A woman could be hear over the roar of the waterfall, humming inside.

=== The Cabin ===
* Entering the cabin, the party saw nets and satchels holding dozens of trinkets gathered by someone who clearly was an explorer. The most notable was a large disc made of runic white sandstone leaning against a wall -- and a mortar and pestle, being used to crush bluebells into a dye.
* Inside, a woman in a white blouse stirred a pot of vegetable soup, the faint glow of a petitioner causing her hands to blur as the moved. She had long brown-black hair, bright blue eyes, dangling earrings, and streaks of blue in her hair. A bluebell was placed over an ear.

=== The Petitioner ===
* The woman greeted the party warmly, approaching each one to get a closer look at their bestial aspects. "Such a beautiful menagerie of creatures! You must be explorers like me." She spoke in a distant voice, her eyes frequently unfocused, as is the way of petitioners.
* The party explained that in another life she was called Navarra, and that they had brought her memories with them. She didn't understand, as she had always lived here, and loved the freedom to roam and explore the white sands below.
* When asked by the party what the white disk was, she demonstrated, setting it on the ground. It hovered in place, and by standing on it and concentrating, she could will it to skim above the surface in any direction. It hovered over water and rotated to be parallel to small stones as she maneuevered over them.

=== Convergence ===
* The party presented Navarra with the wrapped Grand Sensory Stone.
* She remarked on its beauty, and untied its silk ribbon, holding the crystalline orb in both hands.
* Her muscles seized, freezing her in place as she fell to her knees. Tendrils of blue light passed into her chest and neck, flowing into her eyes. At the same time, the golden glow around her burned away, streaming behind her and fading.
* At the end of the process, she screamed in pain, writhing on the ground as if burning alive.
* The Grand Sensory Stone fell from her hands, dramatically rolling toward the cliff's edge...
** The entire party reacted simultaneously to catch it, Octavius's clawed Mage Hand reaching it first. It was safely stowed in their Bag of Holding.

=== Navarra Murendar ===
* Her screams turned to weeping, then turned to laughter in an Oscar-worthy performance. Her voice grew deeper and she spoke with a clipped Rashemi accent.
* "Galdren, you bastard. I was happy." She stood, the soft glow of a petitioner gone from her body.
** It dawned on the party that they had resurrected her by reuniting her spirit with her memories. Octavius's learned mind considered that this may have just proven a viable exploit of the planar nature of souls and memory.
* Diedric immediately muttered apologies at the party hurting yet another woman.
* "For he sent you, did he not?"
* "I am Navarra Murendar."
* "How do I know you are not agents of the Red?"
* Diedric explained that Galdren trusted them with knowledge of the rebellion, and was a ward of Azhar Al-Farid, and knew of his ring missing a ruby out of three.
* Navarra quizzed him on what Azhar liked to collect. Diedric confirmed vials of sand from lands he visited, and she relaxed, then noticed her surroundings.
* "Where am I? Gods, I remember two lives. Did I pass through Kelemvor's domain?"
* The party explained the basic planar concepts involved, including that this was the edge of Poseidon's domain.
* The party inquired as to what she will do.
* She sensed and willed her broken mask to return to her, like Thor pulling his hammer.
* She said for them to take her to Galdren, as she was going to kill her husband.
** Some of them men went "woah woah woah" until realizing that she wasn't being literal, probably. Lilia instinctively knew.
* "Wait for a moment, I must fetch something."
* She plodded through the knee-high waters toward her surface skimmer, then rode it down the waterfall as the session ended.

== NPCs Encountered (or mentioned) ==
* [[Navarra Murendar]], the Resurrected Wife
* [[The Beast]], the Jade Tyrannosaurus

** The entire party reacted simultaneously to catch it, Octavius's clawed Mage Hand reaching it first. It was safely stowed in their Bag of Holding.

=== Navarra Murendar ===
* Her screams turned to weeping, then turned to laughter in an Oscar-worthy performance. Her voice grew deeper and she spoke with a clipped Rashemi accent.
* "Galdren, you bastard. I was happy." She stood, the soft glow of a petitioner gone from her body.
** It dawned on the party that they had resurrected her by reuniting her spirit with her memories. Octavius's learned mind considered that this may have just proven a viable exploit of the planar nature of souls and memory.
* Diedric immediately muttered apologies at the party hurting yet another woman.
* "For he sent you, did he not?"
* "I am Navarra Murendar."
* "How do I know you are not agents of the Red?"
* Diedric explained that Galdren trusted them with knowledge of the rebellion, and was a ward of Azhar Al-Farid, and knew of his ring missing a ruby out of three.
* Navarra quizzed him on what Azhar liked to collect. Diedric confirmed vials of sand from lands he visited, and she relaxed, then noticed her surroundings.
* "Where am I? Gods, I remember two lives. Did I pass through Kelemvor's domain?"
* The party explained the basic planar concepts involved, including that this was the edge of Poseidon's domain.
* The party inquired as to what she will do.
* She said for them to take her to Galdren, as she was going to kill her husband.
** Some of them men went "woah woah woah" until realizing that she wasn't being literal, probably. Lilia instinctively knew.
* "Wait for a moment, I must fetch something."
* She plodded through the knee-high waters toward her surface skimmer, then rode it down the waterfall as the session ended.

Session 37: Galdren, You Bastard

Diedric's healing and Lilia's Toll the Dead opened the warded door, revealing a vast cavern and a beholder made of darkness. The party slammed the door shut, and Lilia carved a warning from her coven into the floor.

They negotiated with two carrion crawlers and searched their nest for the missing half of the yin-yang, but came up empty. The half turned up inside the sick flail snail instead: Lilia diagnosed a blockage, and Glenn pressed on its belly until it retched the piece up. They fused the halves and placed the symbol in the inset between the temples, which revealed a jade figurine. The Beast they summoned from it called the party unworthy, until a hasted Tyrannosaurus Glenn bloodied it in a single round. It then bound itself to the party.

After a night underground, Octavius planeswalked the party to the edge of Arborea. There they found Navarra living as an exploring petitioner. The Grand Sensory Stone gave back her memories and brought her back to life. Navarra Murendar, now sure Galdren had sent them, demanded to be taken to him so she could kill her husband (probably not literally). Then she rode her sandstone skimmer down the waterfall as the session ended.

* ''(Required for next level: 100000 XP)''

== Things That Happened ==

=== The Warded Door ===
* '''Date:''' 4th of Mirtur, evening, 1372 DR
* Vistra and the wolf gone, the party approached the warded stone door depicting two trees - one alive, and one dead. It also contained wardings to keep out underground creatures.
* They pushed on it and said "friend" in a couple of languages. Nothing. Worth a shot.
* Glenn briefly considered using his dwarven shovel.
* Lilia found small finger-sized places in both the dead tree and the living one.
* After some arcane theorizing, Diedric channeled a healing spell into the living side and Lilia tolled the dead on the death side.
* The door scraped open as the Toll the Dead sound effect did some foreshadowing, revealing an alcove into a vast underground cavern, reminiscent of the Underdark in Faerun.

=== Beyond the Door ===
* A petrified arm lay on the floor, still sleeved.
* Octavius cast a Fire Bolt into the darkness, which lit dozens of eyes alongside cavern walls, along with illuminating a vast underground lake a hundred feet below.
* An inverted, undead roar answered. A many-stalked ball of darkness hovered into view, a single large eye framed beneath by a maw of razorsharp black teeth. A beholder made of darkness.
* The party pushed the doors shut as beams began shooting out of the creature's stalks. There was an appropriate amount of screaming.

=== The Coven's Warning ===
* Borrowing Glenn's dwarven shovel, Lilia artfully carved a message into the floor before the stone door, a warning to all from her coven:
** "Danger danger. Beholder beyond. Don't be stupid."

=== The Crawlers' Nest ===
* Still seeking the other half of the yin-yang symbol, the party backtracked up the temple to areas yet unexplored.
* They encounted two carrion crawlers in a chamber with an underground pool.
* They had an initially stand-offish conversation, asking if they knew where they could find the other half of the yin-yang. The lighter-colored crawler seemed to recognize it.
* After some negotiating and currying favor for slaying The Feaster, the party convinced the crawlers to allow them to, under supervision, explore their nest in search of it.
* The party explored their nest of carved hollows, with quivering eggs in green and purple slime.
* Detect Magic was also employed, but found nothing of interest.
* The party warned the crawlers about the beholder and backtracked to the snail impeding the path into the dead side's sleeping quarters.

=== The Sickly Snail ===
* The party began a valliant charge toward the giant flail snail, who looked up as it sensed their movement. Curled up as it was, Lilia recognized that it was ill.
* She diagnosed that its stomach was distended from an obstruction, and convinced it that they intended no harm.
* Octavius's detect magic revealed an object with magical weavings similar to that of the other half of the yin-yang. It had likely consumed it when consuming bodies of the druids.
* With Lilia's medical guidance, Glenn pressed on the snail's belly to cause it to retch.
* Glenn stepped aside as a mass of orange bile exited the creature, including the darker half of the yin-yang symbol.
** Lilia promptly presto-ed the symbol to a pristine condition.
* They chatted for a while, asking if it liked being a snail. It indicated it felt safe in its irisdescent shell.
* Glenn joined the two halves of the yin-yang in his hands, and they fused together. He remarked it would make an interesting shield.

=== The Dead Side's Dormitory ===

* The party entered the room explored by Alaundo earlier in the session -- a century-abandoned sleeping quarters composed of ancient hides on the ground.
* Octavius flipped over a hide to reveal this side's journal and got to work reading the subtle and intricate worldbuilding set in place.
** The journal stereotypically described, fit for a two-digit IQ party, in feral druidic: <i>"Let the beasts take them and us alike. We encroached on their domain and built this abomination. If we die, we did not deserve to survive -- such is the Cycle and Malar's will. I'll never release Allegon's prize from my clutches -- as he could sense it with his magics should I try to hide or bury it. The Beast is a coward's crutch and he shall not have my half. I will drink his blood from his skull."</i>
* With that exposition done, the party headed outside, to the inset between the two temples.

=== The Beast ===
* Glenn placed the yin-yang symbol into the inset between the two temples.
** It glowed with a golden light and split apart, revealing an extradimensional space bearing a jade figurine of a strange lizard-like beast with wicked teeth that stood on two powerful legs, with two vestigial arms.
** Lilia recognized this as a summoning figurine.
** Octavius cast an Identify spell, confirming that it was a conjuration item, currently unbonded to any living thing, and that it may not fully function.
* Reading an action to banish it, Lilia willed the warm figurine to summon.
* From golden mists, a mighty beast emerged, the ground shaking as it burst forth.
* It spoke: "Where are Allegon and Mellogon? They are late to the hunt."
* It then noticed the state of temple, and asked how long it had been. The party guessed about a hundred years.
* When asked, it said it was called The Beast.
* It kicked its own figurine back into the alcove, stating the the party was not worthy of being bonded to him.

=== The Worthy ===
* Glenn roared in challenge as Lilia transformed him into Tyrannosaurus Rex and a Haste spell was placed upon him. He retained his beastial aspect, with non-vestigial bear arms and legs, along with a patch of green-brown fur running down his spine.
* Roaring in delight, The Beast charged Glenn.
* In a single round, Glenn wrestled, downed, and tore at The Beast, bloodying it.
* Approving of their might, The Beast spun its tail over the party, binding them with golden energies to the figurine.
* It explained it can be summoned every moon and disappear back into the figurine, which was now cool to the touch.
* Glenn stowed the two halves in the bag of holding.

=== A Night Underground ===
* In the living side's sleeping quarters, the party camped underground in Diedric's tiny hut.
* '''Date:''' 5th of Mirtul, morning, 1372 DR
* In his sleep, Octavius saw his vision of B'ian Ch'k Ch'k. B'ian was fully clothed and awake in bed this time, grabbing a satchel hanging on a hook when the sending stones went off, mouthing a quick thank you in the rough direction of the observer.
* The carrion crawlers explored the area while time passed, including tapping curiously on the hut's spherical exterior.

=== To the Edge of Infinity ===
* Navarra's mask in hand and description of her location firmly in mind, Octavius drew power from his bond to the Astral Plane. Rising into the air, a five-pointed flame blossomed in his chest as he planeswalked the party.
* They careened through the Blind Eternities as golden motes of light, criss-crossing stone paths visible below them, until they thundered into knee-high water.
* Diedric immediately felt a presence watching him, only for it to turn its gaze.
* Visible before them was the edge of an infinite ocean, its waters falling an unfathomable height to become mists extending into an infinite plane of white desert.
** They knew, from Vista and Octavius's planar knowledge, that they were on Arborea, on the edge of its second layer, Aquallor, and its third layer, Mithardir.
** Octavius knew that Mithardir was an infinite expanse of lifeless white desert and ruins, with scholars debating whether this was the abandoned prior home of the Egyptian pantheon, or a place where Animal Lords once lived before moving to the Beastlands, or a place once inhabited by titanic creatures.
** He also knew of the dual nature of its first layer, Olympus and Arvandor, never visible to each other.
* The waters were shallow and warm, with schools of colorful fish swimming among coral-like structures.
* On a small rocky island, surrounded by bluebells, they saw a simple wooden cabin. A woman could be hear over the roar of the waterfall, humming inside.

=== The Cabin ===
* Entering the cabin, the party saw nets and satchels holding dozens of trinkets gathered by someone who clearly was an explorer. The most notable was a large disc made of runic white sandstone leaning against a wall -- and a mortar and pestle, being used to crush bluebells into a dye.
* Inside, a woman in a white blouse stirred a pot of vegetable soup, the faint glow of a petitioner causing her hands to blur as the moved. She had long brown-black hair, bright blue eyes, dangling earrings, and streaks of blue in her hair. A bluebell was placed over an ear.

=== The Petitioner ===
* The woman greeted the party warmly, approaching each one to get a closer look at their bestial aspects. "Such a beautiful menagerie of creatures! You must be explorers like me." She spoke in a distant voice, her eyes frequently unfocused, as is the way of petitioners.
* The party explained that in another life she was called Navarra, and that they had brought her memories with them. She didn't understand, as she had always lived here, and loved the freedom to roam and explore the white sands below.
* When asked by the party what the white disk was, she demonstrated, setting it on the ground. It hovered in place, and by standing on it and concentrating, she could will it to skim above the surface in any direction. It hovered over water and rotated to be parallel to small stones as she maneuevered over them.

=== Convergence ===
* The party presented Navarra with the wrapped Grand Sensory Stone.
* She remarked on its beauty, and untied its silk ribbon, holding the crystalline orb in both hands.
* Her muscles seized, freezing her in place as she fell to her knees. Tendrils of blue light passed into her chest and neck, flowing into her eyes. At the same time, the golden glow around her burned away, streaming behind her and fading.
* At the end of the process, she screamed in pain, writhing on the ground as if burning alive.
* The Grand Sensory Stone fell from her hands, dramatically rolling toward the cliff's edge...
** The entire party reacted simultaneously to catch it, Octavius's clawed Mage Hand reaching it first. It was safely stowed in their Bag of Holding.

=== Navarra Murendar ===
* Her screams turned to weeping, then turned to laughter in an Oscar-worthy performance. Her voice grew deeper and she spoke with a clipped Rashemi accent.
* "Galdren, you bastard. I was happy." She stood, the soft glow of a petitioner gone from her body.
** It dawned on the party that they had resurrected her by reuniting her spirit with her memories. Octavius's learned mind considered that this may have just proven a viable exploit of the planar nature of souls and memory.

Session 37: Galdren, You Bastard

Diedric's healing and Lilia's Toll the Dead opened the warded door, revealing a vast cavern and a beholder made of darkness. The party slammed the door shut, and Lilia carved a warning from her coven into the floor.

They negotiated with two carrion crawlers and searched their nest for the missing half of the yin-yang, but came up empty. The half turned up inside the sick flail snail instead: Lilia diagnosed a blockage, and Glenn pressed on its belly until it retched the piece up. They fused the halves and placed the symbol in the inset between the temples, which revealed a jade figurine. The Beast they summoned from it called the party unworthy, until a hasted Tyrannosaurus Glenn bloodied it in a single round. It then bound itself to the party.

After a night underground, Octavius planeswalked the party to the edge of Arborea. There they found Navarra living as an exploring petitioner. The Grand Sensory Stone gave back her memories and brought her back to life. Navarra Murendar, now sure Galdren had sent them, demanded to be taken to him so she could kill her husband (probably not literally). Then she rode her sandstone skimmer down the waterfall as the session ended.

== XP Award ==
* 200 XP for opening the warded door with life and death
* 500 XP for meeting The Death Tyrant and living to carve a warning about it
* 250 XP for parleying past the carrion crawlers

* 975 XP for handily defeating The Beast

* 500 XP for planeswalking to the edge of Arborea, where Aquallor falls into Mithardir
* '''Breaking the Cycle:''' 3000 XP for reuniting Navarra with her memories and breaking the cycle of life and death
* '''Planar Oddity:''' 1500 XP for witnessing a soul and its memories rejoin, reversing the split of the Astral crossing that happens when a mortal dies
* '''Total: 8200 XP'''

* ''(Required for next level: 100000 XP)''

== Things That Happened ==

=== The Warded Door ===
* '''Date:''' 4th of Mirtur, evening, 1372 DR
* Vistra and the wolf gone, the party approached the warded stone door depicting two trees - one alive, and one dead. It also contained wardings to keep out underground creatures.
* They pushed on it and said "friend" in a couple of languages. Nothing. Worth a shot.
* Glenn briefly considered using his dwarven shovel.
* Lilia found small finger-sized places in both the dead tree and the living one.
* After some arcane theorizing, Diedric channeled a healing spell into the living side and Lilia tolled the dead on the death side.
* The door scraped open as the Toll the Dead sound effect did some foreshadowing, revealing an alcove into a vast underground cavern, reminiscent of the Underdark in Faerun.

=== Beyond the Door ===
* A petrified arm lay on the floor, still sleeved.
* Octavius cast a Fire Bolt into the darkness, which lit dozens of eyes alongside cavern walls, along with illuminating a vast underground lake a hundred feet below.
* An inverted, undead roar answered. A many-stalked ball of darkness hovered into view, a single large eye framed beneath by a maw of razorsharp black teeth. A beholder made of darkness.
* The party pushed the doors shut as beams began shooting out of the creature's stalks. There was an appropriate amount of screaming.

=== The Coven's Warning ===
* Borrowing Glenn's dwarven shovel, Lilia artfully carved a message into the floor before the stone door, a warning to all from her coven:
** "Danger danger. Beholder beyond. Don't be stupid."

=== The Crawlers' Nest ===
* Still seeking the other half of the yin-yang symbol, the party backtracked up the temple to areas yet unexplored.
* They encounted two carrion crawlers in a chamber with an underground pool.
* They had an initially stand-offish conversation, asking if they knew where they could find the other half of the yin-yang. The lighter-colored crawler seemed to recognize it.
* After some negotiating and currying favor for slaying The Feaster, the party convinced the crawlers to allow them to, under supervision, explore their nest in search of it.
* The party explored their nest of carved hollows, with quivering eggs in green and purple slime.
* Detect Magic was also employed, but found nothing of interest.
* The party warned the crawlers about the beholder and backtracked to the snail impeding the path into the dead side's sleeping quarters.

=== The Sickly Snail ===
* The party began a valliant charge toward the giant flail snail, who looked up as it sensed their movement. Curled up as it was, Lilia recognized that it was ill.
* She diagnosed that its stomach was distended from an obstruction, and convinced it that they intended no harm.
* Octavius's detect magic revealed an object with magical weavings similar to that of the other half of the yin-yang. It had likely consumed it when consuming bodies of the druids.
* With Lilia's medical guidance, Glenn pressed on the snail's belly to cause it to retch.
* Glenn stepped aside as a mass of orange bile exited the creature, including the darker half of the yin-yang symbol.
** Lilia promptly presto-ed the symbol to a pristine condition.
* They chatted for a while, asking if it liked being a snail. It indicated it felt safe in its irisdescent shell.
* Glenn joined the two halves of the yin-yang in his hands, and they fused together. He remarked it would make an interesting shield.

=== The Dead Side's Dormitory ===

* The party entered the room explored by Alaundo earlier in the session -- a century-abandoned sleeping quarters composed of ancient hides on the ground.
* Octavius flipped over a hide to reveal this side's journal and got to work reading the subtle and intricate worldbuilding set in place.
** The journal stereotypically described, fit for a two-digit IQ party, in feral druidic: <i>"Let the beasts take them and us alike. We encroached on their domain and built this abomination. If we die, we did not deserve to survive -- such is the Cycle and Malar's will. I'll never release Allegon's prize from my clutches -- as he could sense it with his magics should I try to hide or bury it. The Beast is a coward's crutch and he shall not have my half. I will drink his blood from his skull."</i>
* With that exposition done, the party headed outside, to the inset between the two temples.

=== The Beast ===
* Glenn placed the yin-yang symbol into the inset between the two temples.
** It glowed with a golden light and split apart, revealing an extradimensional space bearing a jade figurine of a strange lizard-like beast with wicked teeth that stood on two powerful legs, with two vestigial arms.
** Lilia recognized this as a summoning figurine.
** Octavius cast an Identify spell, confirming that it was a conjuration item, currently unbonded to any living thing, and that it may not fully function.
* Reading an action to banish it, Lilia willed the warm figurine to summon.
* From golden mists, a mighty beast emerged, the ground shaking as it burst forth.
* It spoke: "Where are Allegon and Mellogon? They are late to the hunt."
* It then noticed the state of temple, and asked how long it had been. The party guessed about a hundred years.
* When asked, it said it was called The Beast.
* It kicked its own figurine back into the alcove, stating the the party was not worthy of being bonded to him.

=== The Worthy ===
* Glenn roared in challenge as Lilia transformed him into Tyrannosaurus Rex and a Haste spell was placed upon him. He retained his beastial aspect, with non-vestigial bear arms and legs, along with a patch of green-brown fur running down his spine.
* Roaring in delight, The Beast charged Glenn.
* In a single round, Glenn wrestled, downed, and tore at The Beast, bloodying it.
* Approving of their might, The Beast spun its tail over the party, binding them with golden energies to the figurine.
* It explained it can be summoned every moon and disappear back into the figurine, which was now cool to the touch.
* Glenn stowed the two halves in the bag of holding.

=== A Night Underground ===
* In the living side's sleeping quarters, the party camped underground in Diedric's tiny hut.
* '''Date:''' 5th of Mirtul, morning, 1372 DR
* In his sleep, Octavius saw his vision of B'ian Ch'k Ch'k. B'ian was fully clothed and awake in bed this time, grabbing a satchel hanging on a hook when the sending stones went off, mouthing a quick thank you in the rough direction of the observer.
* The carrion crawlers explored the area while time passed, including tapping curiously on the hut's spherical exterior.

=== To the Edge of Infinity ===
* Navarra's mask in hand and description of her location firmly in mind, Octavius drew power from his bond to the Astral Plane. Rising into the air, a five-pointed flame blossomed in his chest as he planeswalked the party.
* They careened through the Blind Eternities as golden motes of light, criss-crossing stone paths visible below them, until they thundered into knee-high water.
* Diedric immediately felt a presence watching him, only for it to turn its gaze.
* Visible before them was the edge of an infinite ocean, its waters falling an unfathomable height to become mists extending into an infinite plane of white desert.
** They knew, from Vista and Octavius's planar knowledge, that they were on Arborea, on the edge of its second layer, Aquallor, and its third layer, Mithardir.
** Octavius knew that Mithardir was an infinite expanse of lifeless white desert and ruins, with scholars debating whether this was the abandoned prior home of the Egyptian pantheon, or a place where Animal Lords once lived before moving to the Beastlands, or a place once inhabited by titanic creatures.
** He also knew of the dual nature of its first layer, Olympus and Arvandor, never visible to each other.
* The waters were shallow and warm, with schools of colorful fish swimming among coral-like structures.
* On a small rocky island, surrounded by bluebells, they saw a simple wooden cabin. A woman could be hear over the roar of the waterfall, humming inside.

=== The Cabin ===
* Entering the cabin, the party saw nets and satchels holding dozens of trinkets gathered by someone who clearly was an explorer. The most notable was a large disc made of runic white sandstone leaning against a wall -- and a mortar and pestle, being used to crush bluebells into a dye.
* Inside, a woman in a white blouse stirred a pot of vegetable soup, the faint glow of a petitioner causing her hands to blur as the moved. She had long brown-black hair, bright blue eyes, dangling earrings, and streaks of blue in her hair. A bluebell was placed over an ear.

=== The Petitioner ===
* The woman greeted the party warmly, approaching each one to get a closer look at their bestial aspects. "Such a beautiful menagerie of creatures! You must be explorers like me." She spoke in a distant voice, her eyes frequently unfocused, as is the way of petitioners.
* The party explained that in another life she was called Navarra, and that they had brought her memories with them. She didn't understand, as she had always lived here, and loved the freedom to roam and explore the white sands below.
* When asked by the party what the white disk was, she demonstrated, setting it on the ground. It hovered in place, and by standing on it and concentrating, she could will it to skim above the surface in any direction. It hovered over water and rotated to be parallel to small stones as she maneuevered over them.

=== Convergence ===
* The party presented Navarra with the wrapped Grand Sensory Stone.
* She remarked on its beauty, and untied its silk ribbon, holding the crystalline orb in both hands.
* Her muscles seized, freezing her in place as she fell to her knees. Tendrils of blue light passed into her chest and neck, flowing into her eyes. At the same time, the golden glow around her burned away, streaming behind her and fading.
* At the end of the process, she screamed in pain, writhing on the ground as if burning alive.
* The Grand Sensory Stone fell from her hands, dramatically rolling toward the cliff's edge...
** The entire party reacted simultaneously to catch it, Octavius's clawed Mage Hand reaching it first. It was safely stowed in their Bag of Holding.

=== Navarra Murendar ===
* Her screams turned to weeping, then turned to laughter in an Oscar-worthy performance. Her voice grew deeper and she spoke with a clipped Rashemi accent.
* "Galdren, you bastard. I was happy." She stood, the soft glow of a petitioner gone from her body.
** It dawned on the party that they had resurrected her by reuniting her spirit with her memories. Octavius's learned mind considered that this may have just proven a viable exploit of the planar nature of souls and memory.
* Diedric immediately muttered apologies at the party hurting yet another woman.
* "For he sent you, did he not?"
* "I am Navarra Murendar."
* "How do I know you are not agents of the Red?"
* Diedric explained that Galdren trusted them with knowledge of the rebellion, and was a ward of Azhar Al-Farid, and knew of his ring missing a ruby out of three.
* Navarra quizzed him on what Azhar liked to collect. Diedric confirmed vials of sand from lands he visited, and she relaxed, then noticed her surroundings.
* "Where am I? Gods, I remember two lives. Did I pass through Kelemvor's domain?"
* The party explained the basic planar concepts involved, including that this was the edge of Poseidon's domain.
* The party inquired as to what she will do.
* She said for them to take her to Galdren, as she was going to kill her husband.
** Some of them men went "woah woah woah" until realizing that she wasn't being literal, probably. Lilia instinctively knew.
* "Wait for a moment, I must fetch something."
* She plodded through the knee-high waters toward her surface skimmer, then rode it down the waterfall as the session ended.

== The Story So Far ==

<div class="story-book">
<div class="story-box">
<p class="story-title">Chapter 1: Memory</p>
A group of diverse adventurers, each on their own path, found themselves at '''Ironjaw's Mirth''' on the Thay-Rashemen border. Their chance meeting was interrupted by the '''Red Wizards of Thay''', led by Vezim Sepret, who '''captured everyone''' in retaliation for losses at the Grove of Stars.

Now mired in the conflict between Thay and Rashemen and en route to a slave camp, '''the party escaped''' with aid from '''Imzel Ulmokina''', a Wychlaran druid. A letter on Vezim revealed orders from '''Tharos Orakul, High Diviner of Surthay''', to slay '''"the owl"''' and capture '''"the amphibian"''' for study.

Imzel directed them to Lirensk to meet '''Galdren Murendar''', an ally against the Red Wizards. After a perilous journey across Lake Mulsantir, where they battled quippergulls and a Gelatinous Cube, they met Galdren, '''a rebel Red Wizard''' working to reform Thay. '''He tasked them with acquiring a Grand Sensory Stone from Sigil''', the City of Doors, casting their souls into the Astral Plane.

In the '''Astral Plane''', they helped a '''mathematician''' retrieve a variable stolen by a benign memory entity. Then, they escaped '''githyanki''' pursuers through a color pool to '''The Outlands''' -- after stealing their silver. Guided by a kind bariaur's words, they journeyed towards Sigil, encountering various planar entities (including water-sharing petitioners, imps, and a '''Rogue Modron''') and ultimately reached '''Ribcage''', the gate-town to the Nine Hells.

In Ribcage, they engaged in various intrigues: upgrading a Rogue Modron with infernal silver, binding an '''imp''' into servitude with the help of a '''slaad advocate''', aiding a falsely accused man, uncovering a '''cambion's''' scheme with a '''hag''', and participating in a Blood War skirmish. They finally found passage to '''Sigil''' beneath a bar stool.

In Sigil, they discovered '''Cedani's grandmother's''' ruined poetry shop and defeated the '''Summer Eladrin''' responsible. After recovering from near-death, they met with faction representatives and negotiated with '''Niara''', a Sensate Factotum, for a '''Grand Sensory Stone in exchange for locating Ember'''.

Their search brought them to The Velvet Harness inn, where a '''pegasus''' and '''deva''' led them to a vortex to the '''Elemental Plane of Air'''. There, they survived a harrowing fall with '''Ember''''s help, learning to navigate a realm where direction is a matter of perception. They landed in the courtyard of the '''Palace of the Winds''', a majestic djinn stronghold.

There, they agreed to help rescue a '''trapped djinn''' from the clutches of '''kobolds''', defeating the '''Avatar of Yan-C-Bin'''.

Victorious, they returned to Sigil, and acquired the '''Grand Sensory Stone''' at last. Joining factions and receiving pay from '''The Alley Reapers''', they returned to their bodies in '''The Rebel Estate'''.

Grateful, Galdren rewarded them with '''vast sums of jink''', a Weave-attuned sextant, and explained that he planned to use the stone to '''capture the memories of a deceased person''' who has information invaluable to their cause.

He bid the heroes rest, for now.

'''From:''' 3rd of Tarsakh (The Claw of the Storms, April), 1372 DR

'''To:''' 7th of Tarsakh (The Claw of the Storms, April), 1372 DR

<div class="story-box">
<p class="story-title">Chapter 2: Convergence</p>
Returning from their astral journey with the '''Grand Sensory Stone''', the party awoke at '''The Rebel Estate''' to visions of '''Tharos Orakul''' warning '''Octavius''' away from Thay. '''Cedani''' departed for the Feywild, while '''Lilia Corydalis''', a starry witch seeking her missing coven sister, joined the group.

Sent to '''Urlingwood''' to cure '''Glenn's''' curse, the '''Wychlaran''' declared the barbs needed to be removed where they were cast. At the '''Monolith of Stars''', visions of fractured futures preceded a goblinoid assault. In the chaos, '''Octavius's''' latent '''planeswalker spark''' ignited, pulling them through the '''Blind Eternities''' to '''Mirrodin''' before willing them home.

Pursuing the stolen Monolith into the '''Underdark''', they uncovered drow treachery, slew the ogre assassin '''Vaergath''', and returned the relic to '''Urlingwood'''—shattering divination tools across the continent. In the '''High Country''', they freed and destroyed the demon '''Threxzadur''', then rescued '''Elowen Stonereach''' from the maw of '''Kissethkashaan''', the White Wyrm, escaping through another desperate planeswalk.

In '''Cormyr''', they infiltrated '''Phaulkon Manor''', battled '''illithid''' in '''Hullack Forest''', and finally broke '''Glenn's''' curse where '''Manshoon''' had cast it. '''Glenn''' emerged transformed, embracing both his nobility and his frog nature. '''Githyanki''' seekers arrived and were driven off; '''Kith'rak Gaath''' fled without his silver blade.

Flying east to the '''Endless Wastes''', they joined a paladin's quest for vengeance among warring '''Tuigan''' tribes. Beneath the '''Lake of Mists''', they destroyed an '''Imaskari''' altar of reanimation, collapsing its undead horde. The treacherous '''Qara Sarn's''' head became tribute to '''Hoar''', securing both tribes and the paladin order as allies.

'''Galdren''' revealed his purpose: capturing the memories of '''Navarra''', an ally slain by '''Tharos''' who knew of a weapon in the '''Fell Tower''' in a desert of '''purple sands'''. At her grave, his ritual bound her memories into the '''Grand Sensory Stone'''. He charged the heroes to carry it into the '''Outer Planes''', find her spirit, and deliver it—with '''Ember''' and her broken blue-tinted mask as their guides.

Bearing orb and mask into the '''Astral Plane''' and out through the '''Turquoise Color Pool''', they crossed a reshaped '''Outlands''' and the orchards of '''Sheela Peryroyl'''. Within sight of '''Ribcage''' they freed '''Tessavyr''', a rilmani pinned to the roadside by infernal spikes, who named a favor owed and bid them call toward the '''Spire'''.

In the city, '''Glenn's''' cheerful shout of "Green!" spoke the key to a hidden portal, dropping the party into '''Minauros''', where '''The Moss Hag''' loosed a dire troll in revenge for her ruined schemes. They shattered it, plundered her lair of thirty-three '''soul coins''', and burned her shop on their return.

'''Xarannos''' now ruled Ribcage, '''Zelza''' having been eaten by '''Bel'''. '''Unit 137's''' hellfire freed three innocent souls from the hag's coins. Passing to '''Sigil''' through the stool at '''The Bleeding Horn''', '''Diedric''' was pulled aside to stand before '''Selûne''' as the kobolds of '''The Howling Island''' reached home at last, and was named '''Favored'''. '''Ember''' sent them beneath the Cage to find the spirit-seeker '''Vistra Runehall'''.

Her trail led through '''Vos'Ultok''' to the deva '''Galenthias''', who carried them to '''Lunia''', where the pit lord '''Sulphaxus''' rose from the holy waters mortal and redeemed. At the '''Pavilion of Courage''' they learned Vistra hunts the spectre of a carpenter who betrayed a rebel to save a family he lost anyway. Through '''Khorvas's Pool''' they swam into '''Karasuthra''', the eternal midnight of the '''Beastlands''', a day and a half behind her.

''Last updated: 2026-07-30''

=== Main Quest: Seeking Navarra ===
* '''The Rebel Wizard''': Galdren Murendar, a rebel Red Wizard, seeks to undermine Thay to reform it. To this end, he has tasked the party with finding Navarra, a deceased ally. He seeks to reunite her spirit with her captured memories so he can find a way into the Fell Tower, in the Plains of Purple Dust, which is rumored to house a powerful weapon.
* '''The Spirit Seeker''': The party is currently tracking Vistra, a Spirit Seeker, in order to find Navarra's spirit. She is in Karasuthra in the Beastlands.
* '''Andren's Ledger''': Vistra is currently tracking the spirit of Andren, a man who betrayed his friend Tovaal in a failed attempt to save his family. She is on a contract from the Mercykillers.

=== Side Quests ===
* '''Hunting the Slavers''': Imzel Ulmokina, the druid that freed the party from captivity, was last heard to have been following the rest of the slave wagons, tracking them to their destination.
* '''Lake Mulsantir''': The lake south of Lirensk still suffers from Red Wizards having introduced aberrations in a past skirmish with the Rashemi.
* '''The Phaulkon-bane''': The clone of Manshoon who had assailed Glenn's keep is known to be heading for Chult, using the funds he made to hire the priests of Ubtao to transfer his soul to another body before this one fails him.
* '''Walking the Paths''': The party has learned of many paths (at least six) that can be tread to ascend the hierarchy of Mount Celestia. They need make a pledge to a representative of a Power to start their journey and may be asked to make a sacrifice. Upon walking the path, they will gain +2 to a chosen attribute.
* '''Namers and Berks''': Party members may seek to further their standing with their preferred Sigil faction, which may grant special abilities and privileges.
* '''The Monolith of Stars''': Still safe, it invites academic and divination study.

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-memberpaths">
* '''The Planeswalker''': Octavius's planeswalker spark ignited and his fastbond to lands he visits continues to increase his power, collecting fragments of planes to revisit them more easily. He seeks to write a dissertation on the extinct Batrachi race, and has a Weave-Attuned Sextant ready to deliver to a Slaad in Sigil who is interested in its study, as he feels it may draw a connection between the Batrachi race and all Slaad.
* '''A Curse Turned Boon''': Glenn embraced his frog form as his curse was cured, gaining the ability to "wield it as a shield" as his father taught him. He idly joked that he should "start collecting curses".
* '''Favored of Selune''': Blessed by the Moon Goddess for his leading of the lost, Diedric has been named Favored. This connection may continue to grow.
* '''Touched by a Telthor''': Having served as a host for the Telthor of Stars, Lilia can now conjure its constellation around her. As she continues to study stars from other planes, she may grow to understand the strange ones in the night sky above the Monolith, as they do not match that of Faerun's. She has secured access to the Grove of Stars for her coven-sisters, who may relocate once Elowen reaches them with the news.
* '''The Caltrop's Covenant''': Unit 137 continues to show more Hellish influence, including the ability to summon Happy, a tortured lemure, and sporting a pentagram inscribed on his form. In exchange for his infernal immortality, Unit 137 has incurred a debt to the hells and will need to serve them for 666 days at some point in the future.
* '''The Piked Contract''': Smokescale battles with the philosophy of being indentured to a bunch of piking level-headed bloods. Do his chains even matter anymore? His speaking circle truth was "I really want to corrupt the owl, drag him down to my level".

* '''The Star of the Climbing Warrior''': Uchu Buredo, in company of Cedani, continues to seek a way to his home world of Tsunadehoshi. His lead is that a "Vine-Warrior" was spotted in The Velvet Harness by the pegasus Kai. (God the DM did a lot of worldbuilding for this shit.) He also seeks revenge on Vex'riath, the githyanki creche leader of Zar'kash's Forge, who also escaped and survived as that spelljammer ship was destroyed by Uchu's psionic awakening.
* '''Smoke on the Water''': Cedani, having received an urgent message from Soveliss, sought to rescue him from peril. He had been on the way to Evermeet to seek Tharos's true name and had asked of Cedani for a delivery of a scale from a white abishai before being captured by unknown assailants. Diedric (during a session he missed) assisted them, rescuing him from a Troll's cookpot by trading a useless bauble. Cedani and Uchu then proceeded to the Feywild, where her patron had called for a meeting of the seasons in response to her poetry shop being burned down by the summer eladrin Aula. Octavius had subsequently seen visions of Cedani and Uchu in Minauros, being surrounded by hags and the corpses of dead eladrin of various seasons. Uchu's eyes turned red.
* '''The Pursued and Pursuer''': Chai evades cultists pursuing her for her Changeling heritage. She accompanies Cove to the Sea of Fallen Stars, where she seeks to find the prison island that she escaped as a child.

* '''The High Diviner''': Tharos Orakul, deprived of the Monolith, continues to suffer from a wasting disease. In desperation, he has met with the Githyanki.
* '''The Foreseen Assault''' Octavius foresaw an attack on the monolith by Kissethkashaan, likely in the month of Flamerule (two months after Mirtul). The vision showed one faerzress crystal already shattered, two wychlaran triplets freezing and shattering, and the Monolith cracking with a yellow light emanating from the crack, hinting at something within. This was shared with Galdren, who said he'd warn the Rashemi, so they should be forewarned.
* '''Hilt's Reward''': In thanks for the party's aid in getting Xarannos to represent him in his accusation against Zelza, he told them that Fredd, a proprietor of The Shaved Coin in The Below, keeps a chest of rubies that they both gathered by using a portal to a mineral-rich pocket of the Elemental Plane of Earth. This portal lies below the fighting pits and the key is blood, so it's usually open. Hilt is also a senator of Ribcage now.
* '''A Wedding on the Wind''': The party will be invited to Ember and Zekir al-Suhail's wedding. They'll hear his voice in the wind. A greater boon was promised. This will be in two years during his coronation.
* '''The Writer''': Atrus, an author of Ages, seeks to write a linking book to a location that can cure any ailment, including Glenn's. This may take him until the month of Kythorn. He had granted the party a linking book labeled "Myst", which they could use to visit him. The tram code is half of the clocktower's set time.
* '''The Bewildered Horse''': Barnaby, the awakened horse, was not at the Velvet Harness the last two visits. Barnaby will return.
* '''The Nyaning Leonin''': Rescued from certain doom on Mirrodin, Shadespine has run off to the Rashemi Berserker Lodge to join them.
* '''The Coven and the Monolith''' Lilia's coven will soon make way for the Grove of Stars to study it and the Monolith. They owe Lilia for this opportunity, and for rescuing Elowen.
* '''The Swordmaster's Road''' Cyrus, Glenn's swordmaster, will likely have been teleported to the War Wizards of Cormyr by Galdren's teleportation circle. He'll make way to Glenn's old keep to see it restored.

* ''(Happened)'' '''Ten Seconds From Now''': An ogre crashing through the trees, charging at Octavius as he turns from facing the Monolith… ten seconds from now.
* ''(Future)'' '''Winter Comes to the Grove''': The Grove of Stars. Kissethkashaan, enraged, breathes a cone of cold in a sweeping pass. One of the faerzress crystals is already shattered. Two wychlaran triplets shatter to ice. The Monolith of Stars begins to crack under the cold — and a yellow light emanates from a large crack, implying something within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Red Rage''': Uchu and Cedani stand back-to-back in a bog beneath a dark fey sky as three hags approach from all sides. Dead eladrin of various seasons are scattered around them, sinking. Uchu looks to Cedani, who nods grimly. His glowing blue eyes and blue daggers turn red and he begins howling in a berserker rage.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Lich-Queen's Audience''': Hovering in the Astral Plane: a bald Red Wizard, Tharos Orakul, bowing and coughing blood as a colossal undead githyanki woman sits on a throne, examining her hand, projecting boredom while failing to conceal a glint in her eye. She notices Octavius before the vision fades.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Chorus of Stones''': B'ian Ch'k Ch'k kneels shirtless inside of a low wagon as dozens of sending stones begin vibrating all at once, voices whispering and shouting in various languages. He turns as he hears screaming outside.

* '''The Charmed Guard:''' Thenn, the Thayan guard charmed during the escape from the Red Wizard wagons, was taken as prisoner by Imzel. He now lives as a servant to a woman in the Grove of Stars that is foreseen to be his wife. It's an awkward relationship.
* '''The Grand Concordance''': Aristeus, a mathematician culturally spending his last days in the Astral Plane, was aided by the party who recovered a variable for him from a memory entity. His allowed him to complete a masterwork that describes the Four Compulsions and the Veil. It seems of important scientific and philosophical importance.
* '''The Silver Skiff''': Vlaakith grows irked by the unanswered theft, three fireballed githyanki, a lost apprentice, the loss of Gaath's ambush team, with one of the apprentices banished and being specifically told to "Tell Vlaakith to leave us alone!". Octavius's vision of an ill Tharos Orakul groveling before her may be of greater import however.
* '''The Lost Githyanki''': Viran, apprentice of Kith'rak Gaath, was led astray by the Alley Reapers in his pursuit of the party and is likely imprisoned in the plane of Carceri.
* '''The Doomed Noble:''' The sickly noble on a balcony in Ribcage is probably super, super dead by now. He's been replaced by a younger noble, flanked by the same red and green cambion ladies.
* '''A Hag Remembers''': The Moss Hag's scheme to secure souls with Luciel foiled, she set a trap whilst Luciel fled the city.
* '''The Alley Reapers:''' They believe Cedani is an agent for a person named Boppel, the "high-up man". They were paying her a cut of their take in the Hive Ward. While she's no longer with the party, they will consider them associates.
* '''Yan-C-in-the-Bin''': Yan-C-Bin will not soon forget the defeat of his avatar at the hands of interlopers from the Prime Material Plane.
* '''The Djinn Prince''': Rescued from a sacrifial rite, the Prince gifted the party a Carpet of Flying and promised great gifts on his wedding day.
* '''The Kobold Pilgrimage''': Spared by Diedric, kobolds worshipping Yan-C-Bin fled back to their tempestuous homeworld, now guided by a familiar moon goddess.
* '''The Telthor of Stars''': Diviners clashed and Tharos was robbed of his fate of securing the Monolith of Stars via a route in the Underdark. The Telthor still lives within, watching over the Rashemi as their tribes unite to select a new Iron Lord. Grimsnarl, an awakened wolf, invited the party's voices in selecting the next Iron Lord as the lodges gather. His own pick: "a simpleton, but his dajemma is legendary -- he travels still with the child of Bhaal on the Sword Coast."
* '''The Drow Wizardress''': Murdered by Octavius, Aunrae Drezz'Lynur was freelancing while under the guise of serving Matron Zorratha. In reality, she was playing Tharos and the duergar against each other. Matron Zorratha wonders what came of the Monolith.
* '''The Unpaid Duergar''': Expecting a payment for pick-up and delivery of the Monolith of Stars, the duergar just found an empty battleground and their gold missing.
* '''The Breaking of Threxzadur''': Octavius willingly drank of a trapped tanar'ri's power, freeing it and then defeating it. It will be reborn in the Abyss.

* '''The Surviving Crossbowman''': Erik the eye-patched crossbowman was rescued from freezing to death by the party. He has foresworn adventuring and claims to be retiring.
* '''The Blood Sorceress''': Qualm and the rest of the dragon slaying party perished in Kissethkashaan's lair. The party happily looted them.
* '''The Rescued Coven-sister''': Elowen Stonereach, an offering of blood to the white dragon by the Nanraak Goblins, was rescued and whisked away. She makes way to the Dalelands to meet with her coven, who will likely travel to The Monolith of Stars to study it.
* '''The White Wyrm's Due''': Angered by the previous dragonslaying party's attempt on his life and another party escaping with his tribute, Kissethkashaan plots his revenge, remembering that one of the members of the first group was of Rashemi descent.
* '''The Piked Halfling''': Finn Fatfoot was charmed into giving up his dreamsilk and giving up Zhentarim secrets. He is on the run from authorities.
* '''The Cleansing of Hullack Forest''': A mindflayer cell, which had fled something in the Underdark, was eliminated by the party. Glenn (with the help of Shrieker) also drove the Zhentarim from his family's keep and had his curse removed. Drenn, the drow wizard in charge of this Zhentarim compound, gave the party information as to Manshoon's plans in Chuult in exchange for his life.
* '''Shrieker''': Glenn's father's Ranger General of his armies continues to patrol the region around Thunderstone, bringing justice to those that the Purple Dragon Knights cannot. Her shrieks in the night bring comfort to children and woe to brigrands. A Tuigan woman mentioned seeing her on the battlefield when Cormyr fought in an alliance against the Tuigan horde, referring to her as Glenn's father's "paramour" who saved him from an ambush. She can be summoned by lighting two pyres on the northern towers near the bridge to Hullack Forest.
* '''The Silver Blade''': Kith'rak Gaath had his entire githyanki strike force ambushed the party but were defeated. Gaath retreated, but had to leave his sword behind.
* '''Blessed Grains''': Lilia blessed the fields of the Tuigan people in an extended ritual, ensuring a bountiful harvest.
* '''The Imaskari Altar''': The party fought through sahuagin priests and destroyed an ancient Imaskari Altar that could animate undead thanks to a link to the Plane of Negative Energy.
* '''Peace on the Endless Wastes''': Peace was brokered between the Fankiang Traditionalists and Hubadai Loyalists, with the Fankiang receiving a seven year deal where they would patrol and tax the Golden Way. The Fankiang agreed to assist with Thay, and the Hubadai representative said he would bring it before their leader in Kourmira.
* '''The Justice of Hoar''': The head of Qara Sarn, a Fankiang member who attempted to leave Khan Borcha to her death, was served to Hoar as recompense for the slaying of one of his paladins. He accepted with three thunderstrikes, and Lureene Amblecrown assured that they had secured the Hoar Order's aid against Thay.
* '''Ribcage, Under New Management''': Uncovering Zelza's scheme to plunge Ribcage into the Nine Hells, Xarannos was installed as interim Duke of Ribcage. Zelza was consumed by Bel.
* '''The Third Hell's Door''': A portal to the third layer of the Nine Hells is now publicly known and guarded in the Beetle Bazaar. It's near a woman's burned-down shop. Don't say your favorite color.
* '''A Hag Still Remembers''': The Moss Hag swam through the mire of Minauros, fleeing as the party survived her trap, stole her soul coins, and even freed her Catoblepas. She may yet seek revenge or move on to safer prey.
* '''Tessavyr's Debt''': A rilmani, pinned to the earth by infernal spikes placed by a circle of succubi working for Zelza, thanked the party for its freedom, stating that they just need call its name toward the Spire should they ever need aid.

* '''The Unpowered Golem''': This still sits abandoned in the flooded depths of the Imaskari Tomb. The party also looted an Anti-Divinity Orb from the same location.
* '''The Unnamed Scholar''': The party looted the body of a female ghoul scholar with a bronze circlet, stuffing her into their Bag of Holding for later Speak-with-Dead questioning. They then proceeded to forget about it.
* '''The Bronze Rib''': A Bronze Rib in Minauros proves to be a foil to teleportation magic, although it did not look easy to move.

* '''The Ring''': Galdren asked Diedric if Azhar, Diedric's adopted father and financier of his estate, still bore a ring with gemstones, and how many there were. Diedric confirmed there were two rubies with one inset blank. Galdren looked relieved.
* '''The Time-Skip Doppelganger''': Investigating a darkness at the heart of Thay, Galden and Navarra traced it to a doppelganger impersonating an Aglarond noble, and mid-interrogation they experienced a skip in time (candles instantly burned low) and the doppelganger was disintegrated to ash.

== Summary ==

Diedric's healing and Lilia's Toll the Dead opened the warded door, revealing a vast cavern and a beholder made of darkness. The party slammed the door shut, and Lilia carved a warning from her coven into the floor.

They negotiated with two carrion crawlers and searched their nest for the missing half of the yin-yang, but came up empty. The half turned up inside the sick flail snail instead: Lilia diagnosed a blockage, and Glenn pressed on its belly until it retched the piece up. They fused the halves and placed the symbol in the inset between the temples, which revealed a jade figurine. The Beast they summoned from it called the party unworthy, until a hasted Tyrannosaurus Glenn bloodied it in a single round. It then bound itself to the party.

After a night underground, Octavius planeswalked the party to the edge of Arborea. There they found Navarra living as an exploring petitioner. The Grand Sensory Stone gave back her memories and brought her back to life. Navarra Murendar, now sure Galdren had sent them, demanded to be taken to him so she could kill her husband (probably not literally). Then she rode her sandstone skimmer down the waterfall as the session ended.

* ''(Required for next level: 100000 XP)''

== Things That Happened ==

=== The Warded Door ===
* '''Date:''' 4th of Mirtur, evening, 1372 DR
* Vistra and the wolf gone, the party approached the warded stone door depicting two trees - one alive, and one dead. It also contained wardings to keep out underground creatures.
* They pushed on it and said "friend" in a couple of languages. Nothing. Worth a shot.
* Glenn briefly considered using his dwarven shovel.
* Lilia found small finger-sized places in both the dead tree and the living one.
* After some arcane theorizing, Diedric channeled a healing spell into the living side and Lilia tolled the dead on the death side.
* The door scraped open as the Toll the Dead sound effect did some foreshadowing, revealing an alcove into a vast underground cavern, reminiscent of the Underdark in Faerun.

=== Beyond the Door ===
* A petrified arm lay on the floor, still sleeved.
* Octavius cast a Fire Bolt into the darkness, which lit dozens of eyes alongside cavern walls, along with illuminating a vast underground lake a hundred feet below.
* An inverted, undead roar answered. A many-stalked ball of darkness hovered into view, a single large eye framed beneath by a maw of razorsharp black teeth. A beholder made of darkness.
* The party pushed the doors shut as beams began shooting out of the creature's stalks. There was an appropriate amount of screaming.

=== The Coven's Warning ===
* Borrowing Glenn's dwarven shovel, Lilia artfully carved a message into the floor before the stone door, a warning to all from her coven:
** "Danger danger. Beholder beyond. Don't be stupid."

=== The Crawlers' Nest ===
* Still seeking the other half of the yin-yang symbol, the party backtracked up the temple to areas yet unexplored.
* They encounted two carrion crawlers in a chamber with an underground pool.
* They had an initially stand-offish conversation, asking if they knew where they could find the other half of the yin-yang. The lighter-colored crawler seemed to recognize it.
* After some negotiating and currying favor for slaying The Feaster, the party convinced the crawlers to allow them to, under supervision, explore their nest in search of it.
* The party explored their nest of carved hollows, with quivering eggs in green and purple slime.
* Detect Magic was also employed, but found nothing of interest.
* The party warned the crawlers about the beholder and backtracked to the snail impeding the path into the dead side's sleeping quarters.

=== The Sickly Snail ===
* The party began a valliant charge toward the giant flail snail, who looked up as it sensed their movement. Curled up as it was, Lilia recognized that it was ill.
* She diagnosed that its stomach was distended from an obstruction, and convinced it that they intended no harm.
* Octavius's detect magic revealed an object with magical weavings similar to that of the other half of the yin-yang. It had likely consumed it when consuming bodies of the druids.
* With Lilia's medical guidance, Glenn pressed on the snail's belly to cause it to retch.
* Glenn stepped aside as a mass of orange bile exited the creature, including the darker half of the yin-yang symbol.
** Lilia promptly presto-ed the symbol to a pristine condition.
* They chatted for a while, asking if it liked being a snail. It indicated it felt safe in its irisdescent shell.
* Glenn joined the two halves of the yin-yang in his hands, and they fused together. He remarked it would make an interesting shield.

=== The Dead Side's Dormitory ===

* The party entered the room explored by Alaundo earlier in the session -- a century-abandoned sleeping quarters composed of ancient hides on the ground.
* Octavius flipped over a hide to reveal this side's journal and got to work reading the subtle and intricate worldbuilding set in place.
** The journal stereotypically described, fit for a two-digit IQ party, in feral druidic: <i>"Let the beasts take them and us alike. We encroached on their domain and built this abomination. If we die, we did not deserve to survive -- such is the Cycle and Malar's will. I'll never release Allegon's prize from my clutches -- as he could sense it with his magics should I try to hide or bury it. The Beast is a coward's crutch and he shall not have my half. I will drink his blood from his skull."</i>
* With that exposition done, the party headed outside, to the inset between the two temples.

=== The Beast ===
* Glenn placed the yin-yang symbol into the inset between the two temples.
** It glowed with a golden light and split apart, revealing an extradimensional space bearing a jade figurine of a strange lizard-like beast with wicked teeth that stood on two powerful legs, with two vestigial arms.
** Lilia recognized this as a summoning figurine.
** Octavius cast an Identify spell, confirming that it was a conjuration item, currently unbonded to any living thing, and that it may not fully function.
* Reading an action to banish it, Lilia willed the warm figurine to summon.
* From golden mists, a mighty beast emerged, the ground shaking as it burst forth.
* It spoke: "Where are Allegon and Mellogon? They are late to the hunt."
* It then noticed the state of temple, and asked how long it had been. The party guessed about a hundred years.
* When asked, it said it was called The Beast.
* It kicked its own figurine back into the alcove, stating the the party was not worthy of being bonded to him.

=== The Worthy ===
* Glenn roared in challenge as Lilia transformed him into Tyrannosaurus Rex and a Haste spell was placed upon him. He retained his beastial aspect, with non-vestigial bear arms and legs, along with a patch of green-brown fur running down his spine.
* Roaring in delight, The Beast charged Glenn.
* In a single round, Glenn wrestled, downed, and tore at The Beast, bloodying it.
* Approving of their might, The Beast spun its tail over the party, binding them with golden energies to the figurine.
* It explained it can be summoned every moon and disappear back into the figurine, which was now cool to the touch.
* Glenn stowed the two halves in the bag of holding.

=== A Night Underground ===
* In the living side's sleeping quarters, the party camped underground in Diedric's tiny hut.
* '''Date:''' 5th of Mirtul, morning, 1372 DR
* In his sleep, Octavius saw his vision of B'ian Ch'k Ch'k. B'ian was fully clothed and awake in bed this time, grabbing a satchel hanging on a hook when the sending stones went off, mouthing a quick thank you in the rough direction of the observer.
* The carrion crawlers explored the area while time passed, including tapping curiously on the hut's spherical exterior.

=== To the Edge of Infinity ===
* Navarra's mask in hand and description of her location firmly in mind, Octavius drew power from his bond to the Astral Plane. Rising into the air, a five-pointed flame blossomed in his chest as he planeswalked the party.
* They careened through the Blind Eternities as golden motes of light, criss-crossing stone paths visible below them, until they thundered into knee-high water.
* Diedric immediately felt a presence watching him, only for it to turn its gaze.
* Visible before them was the edge of an infinite ocean, its waters falling an unfathomable height to become mists extending into an infinite plane of white desert.
** They knew, from Vista and Octavius's planar knowledge, that they were on Arborea, on the edge of its second layer, Aquallor, and its third layer, Mithardir.
** Octavius knew that Mithardir was an infinite expanse of lifeless white desert and ruins, with scholars debating whether this was the abandoned prior home of the Egyptian pantheon, or a place where Animal Lords once lived before moving to the Beastlands, or a place once inhabited by titanic creatures.
** He also knew of the dual nature of its first layer, Olympus and Arvandor, never visible to each other.
* The waters were shallow and warm, with schools of colorful fish swimming among coral-like structures.
* On a small rocky island, surrounded by bluebells, they saw a simple wooden cabin. A woman could be hear over the roar of the waterfall, humming inside.

=== The Cabin ===
* Entering the cabin, the party saw nets and satchels holding dozens of trinkets gathered by someone who clearly was an explorer. The most notable was a large disc made of runic white sandstone leaning against a wall -- and a mortar and pestle, being used to crush bluebells into a dye.
* Inside, a woman in a white blouse stirred a pot of vegetable soup, the faint glow of a petitioner causing her hands to blur as the moved. She had long brown-black hair, bright blue eyes, dangling earrings, and streaks of blue in her hair. A bluebell was placed over an ear.

=== The Petitioner ===
* The woman greeted the party warmly, approaching each one to get a closer look at their bestial aspects. "Such a beautiful menagerie of creatures! You must be explorers like me." She spoke in a distant voice, her eyes frequently unfocused, as is the way of petitioners.
* The party explained that in another life she was called Navarra, and that they had brought her memories with them. She didn't understand, as she had always lived here, and loved the freedom to roam and explore the white sands below.
* When asked by the party what the white disk was, she demonstrated, setting it on the ground. It hovered in place, and by standing on it and concentrating, she could will it to skim above the surface in any direction. It hovered over water and rotated to be parallel to small stones as she maneuevered over them.

=== Convergence ===
* The party presented Navarra with the wrapped Grand Sensory Stone.
* She remarked on its beauty, and untied its silk ribbon, holding the crystalline orb in both hands.
* Her muscles seized, freezing her in place as she fell to her knees. Tendrils of blue light passed into her chest and neck, flowing into her eyes. At the same time, the golden glow around her burned away, streaming behind her and fading.
* At the end of the process, she screamed in pain, writhing on the ground as if burning alive.
* The Grand Sensory Stone fell from her hands, dramatically rolling toward the cliff's edge...
** The entire party reacted simultaneously to catch it, Octavius's clawed Mage Hand reaching it first. It was safely stowed in their Bag of Holding.

=== Navarra Murendar ===
* Her screams turned to weeping, then turned to laughter in an Oscar-worthy performance. Her voice grew deeper and she spoke with a clipped Rashemi accent.
* "Galdren, you bastard. I was happy." She stood, the soft glow of a petitioner gone from her body.
** It dawned on the party that they had ressurected her by reuniting her spirit with her memories. Octavius's learned mind considered that this may have just proven a viable exploit of the planar nature of souls and memory.
* Diedric immediately muttered apologies at the party hurting yet another woman.
* "For he sent you, did he not?"
* "I am Navarra Murendar."
* "How do I know you are not agents of the Red?"
* Diedric explained that Galdren trusted them with knowledge of the rebellion, and was a ward of Azhar Al-Farid, and knew of his ring missing a ruby out of three.
* Navarra quizzed him on what Azhar liked to collect. Diedric confirmed vials of sand from lands he visited, and she relaxed, then noticed her surroundings.
* "Where am I? Gods, I remember two lives. Did I pass through Kelemvor's domain?"
* The party explained the basic planar concepts involved, including that this was the edge of Poseidon's domain.
* The party inquired as to what she will do.
* She said for them to take her to Galdren, as she was going to kill her husband.
** Some of them men went "woah woah woah" until realizing that she wasn't being literal, probably. Lilia instinctively knew.
* "Wait for a moment, I must fetch something."
* She plodded through the knee-high waters toward her surface skimmer, then rode it down the waterfall as the session ended.

== The Story So Far ==

<div class="story-book">
<div class="story-box">
<p class="story-title">Chapter 1: Memory</p>
A group of diverse adventurers, each on their own path, found themselves at '''Ironjaw's Mirth''' on the Thay-Rashemen border. Their chance meeting was interrupted by the '''Red Wizards of Thay''', led by Vezim Sepret, who '''captured everyone''' in retaliation for losses at the Grove of Stars.

Now mired in the conflict between Thay and Rashemen and en route to a slave camp, '''the party escaped''' with aid from '''Imzel Ulmokina''', a Wychlaran druid. A letter on Vezim revealed orders from '''Tharos Orakul, High Diviner of Surthay''', to slay '''"the owl"''' and capture '''"the amphibian"''' for study.

Imzel directed them to Lirensk to meet '''Galdren Murendar''', an ally against the Red Wizards. After a perilous journey across Lake Mulsantir, where they battled quippergulls and a Gelatinous Cube, they met Galdren, '''a rebel Red Wizard''' working to reform Thay. '''He tasked them with acquiring a Grand Sensory Stone from Sigil''', the City of Doors, casting their souls into the Astral Plane.

In the '''Astral Plane''', they helped a '''mathematician''' retrieve a variable stolen by a benign memory entity. Then, they escaped '''githyanki''' pursuers through a color pool to '''The Outlands''' -- after stealing their silver. Guided by a kind bariaur's words, they journeyed towards Sigil, encountering various planar entities (including water-sharing petitioners, imps, and a '''Rogue Modron''') and ultimately reached '''Ribcage''', the gate-town to the Nine Hells.

In Ribcage, they engaged in various intrigues: upgrading a Rogue Modron with infernal silver, binding an '''imp''' into servitude with the help of a '''slaad advocate''', aiding a falsely accused man, uncovering a '''cambion's''' scheme with a '''hag''', and participating in a Blood War skirmish. They finally found passage to '''Sigil''' beneath a bar stool.

In Sigil, they discovered '''Cedani's grandmother's''' ruined poetry shop and defeated the '''Summer Eladrin''' responsible. After recovering from near-death, they met with faction representatives and negotiated with '''Niara''', a Sensate Factotum, for a '''Grand Sensory Stone in exchange for locating Ember'''.

Their search brought them to The Velvet Harness inn, where a '''pegasus''' and '''deva''' led them to a vortex to the '''Elemental Plane of Air'''. There, they survived a harrowing fall with '''Ember''''s help, learning to navigate a realm where direction is a matter of perception. They landed in the courtyard of the '''Palace of the Winds''', a majestic djinn stronghold.

There, they agreed to help rescue a '''trapped djinn''' from the clutches of '''kobolds''', defeating the '''Avatar of Yan-C-Bin'''.

Victorious, they returned to Sigil, and acquired the '''Grand Sensory Stone''' at last. Joining factions and receiving pay from '''The Alley Reapers''', they returned to their bodies in '''The Rebel Estate'''.

Grateful, Galdren rewarded them with '''vast sums of jink''', a Weave-attuned sextant, and explained that he planned to use the stone to '''capture the memories of a deceased person''' who has information invaluable to their cause.

He bid the heroes rest, for now.

'''From:''' 3rd of Tarsakh (The Claw of the Storms, April), 1372 DR

'''To:''' 7th of Tarsakh (The Claw of the Storms, April), 1372 DR
</div>
<div class="story-box">
<p class="story-title">Chapter 2: Convergence</p>
Returning from their astral journey with the '''Grand Sensory Stone''', the party awoke at '''The Rebel Estate''' to visions of '''Tharos Orakul''' warning '''Octavius''' away from Thay. '''Cedani''' departed for the Feywild, while '''Lilia Corydalis''', a starry witch seeking her missing coven sister, joined the group.

Sent to '''Urlingwood''' to cure '''Glenn's''' curse, the '''Wychlaran''' declared the barbs needed to be removed where they were cast. At the '''Monolith of Stars''', visions of fractured futures preceded a goblinoid assault. In the chaos, '''Octavius's''' latent '''planeswalker spark''' ignited, pulling them through the '''Blind Eternities''' to '''Mirrodin''' before willing them home.

Pursuing the stolen Monolith into the '''Underdark''', they uncovered drow treachery, slew the ogre assassin '''Vaergath''', and returned the relic to '''Urlingwood'''—shattering divination tools across the continent. In the '''High Country''', they freed and destroyed the demon '''Threxzadur''', then rescued '''Elowen Stonereach''' from the maw of '''Kissethkashaan''', the White Wyrm, escaping through another desperate planeswalk.

In '''Cormyr''', they infiltrated '''Phaulkon Manor''', battled '''illithid''' in '''Hullack Forest''', and finally broke '''Glenn's''' curse where '''Manshoon''' had cast it. '''Glenn''' emerged transformed, embracing both his nobility and his frog nature. '''Githyanki''' seekers arrived and were driven off; '''Kith'rak Gaath''' fled without his silver blade.

Flying east to the '''Endless Wastes''', they joined a paladin's quest for vengeance among warring '''Tuigan''' tribes. Beneath the '''Lake of Mists''', they destroyed an '''Imaskari''' altar of reanimation, collapsing its undead horde. The treacherous '''Qara Sarn's''' head became tribute to '''Hoar''', securing both tribes and the paladin order as allies.

'''Galdren''' revealed his purpose: capturing the memories of '''Navarra''', an ally slain by '''Tharos''' who knew of a weapon in the '''Fell Tower''' in a desert of '''purple sands'''. At her grave, his ritual bound her memories into the '''Grand Sensory Stone'''. He charged the heroes to carry it into the '''Outer Planes''', find her spirit, and deliver it—with '''Ember''' and her broken blue-tinted mask as their guides.

Bearing orb and mask into the '''Astral Plane''' and out through the '''Turquoise Color Pool''', they crossed a reshaped '''Outlands''' and the orchards of '''Sheela Peryroyl'''. Within sight of '''Ribcage''' they freed '''Tessavyr''', a rilmani pinned to the roadside by infernal spikes, who named a favor owed and bid them call toward the '''Spire'''.

In the city, '''Glenn's''' cheerful shout of "Green!" spoke the key to a hidden portal, dropping the party into '''Minauros''', where '''The Moss Hag''' loosed a dire troll in revenge for her ruined schemes. They shattered it, plundered her lair of thirty-three '''soul coins''', and burned her shop on their return.

'''Xarannos''' now ruled Ribcage, '''Zelza''' having been eaten by '''Bel'''. '''Unit 137's''' hellfire freed three innocent souls from the hag's coins. Passing to '''Sigil''' through the stool at '''The Bleeding Horn''', '''Diedric''' was pulled aside to stand before '''Selûne''' as the kobolds of '''The Howling Island''' reached home at last, and was named '''Favored'''. '''Ember''' sent them beneath the Cage to find the spirit-seeker '''Vistra Runehall'''.

Her trail led through '''Vos'Ultok''' to the deva '''Galenthias''', who carried them to '''Lunia''', where the pit lord '''Sulphaxus''' rose from the holy waters mortal and redeemed. At the '''Pavilion of Courage''' they learned Vistra hunts the spectre of a carpenter who betrayed a rebel to save a family he lost anyway. Through '''Khorvas's Pool''' they swam into '''Karasuthra''', the eternal midnight of the '''Beastlands''', a day and a half behind her.

== (Known) Active Plot Threads ==
''Last updated: 2026-07-30''

=== Main Quest: Seeking Navarra ===
* '''The Rebel Wizard''': Galdren Murendar, a rebel Red Wizard, seeks to undermine Thay to reform it. To this end, he has tasked the party with finding Navarra, a deceased ally. He seeks to reunite her spirit with her captured memories so he can find a way into the Fell Tower, in the Plains of Purple Dust, which is rumored to house a powerful weapon.
* '''The Spirit Seeker''': The party is currently tracking Vistra, a Spirit Seeker, in order to find Navarra's spirit. She is in Karasuthra in the Beastlands.
* '''Andren's Ledger''': Vistra is currently tracking the spirit of Andren, a man who betrayed his friend Tovaal in a failed attempt to save his family. She is on a contract from the Mercykillers.

=== Side Quests ===
* '''Hunting the Slavers''': Imzel Ulmokina, the druid that freed the party from captivity, was last heard to have been following the rest of the slave wagons, tracking them to their destination.
* '''Lake Mulsantir''': The lake south of Lirensk still suffers from Red Wizards having introduced aberrations in a past skirmish with the Rashemi.
* '''The Phaulkon-bane''': The clone of Manshoon who had assailed Glenn's keep is known to be heading for Chult, using the funds he made to hire the priests of Ubtao to transfer his soul to another body before this one fails him.
* '''Walking the Paths''': The party has learned of many paths (at least six) that can be tread to ascend the hierarchy of Mount Celestia. They need make a pledge to a representative of a Power to start their journey and may be asked to make a sacrifice. Upon walking the path, they will gain +2 to a chosen attribute.
* '''Namers and Berks''': Party members may seek to further their standing with their preferred Sigil faction, which may grant special abilities and privileges.
* '''The Monolith of Stars''': Still safe, it invites academic and divination study.
* '''The Elfmound''': Drenn, the drow wizard spared at Phaulkon Manor, spoke of a Permanency spell and other Netherese magics he found at The Elfmound.

=== Party Member Paths ===

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-memberpaths">
* '''The Planeswalker''': Octavius's planeswalker spark ignited and his fastbond to lands he visits continues to increase his power, collecting fragments of planes to revisit them more easily. He seeks to write a dissertation on the extinct Batrachi race, and has a Weave-Attuned Sextant ready to deliver to a Slaad in Sigil who is interested in its study, as he feels it may draw a connection between the Batrachi race and all Slaad.
* '''A Curse Turned Boon''': Glenn embraced his frog form as his curse was cured, gaining the ability to "wield it as a shield" as his father taught him. He idly joked that he should "start collecting curses".
* '''Favored of Selune''': Blessed by the Moon Goddess for his leading of the lost, Diedric has been named Favored. This connection may continue to grow.
* '''Touched by a Telthor''': Having served as a host for the Telthor of Stars, Lilia can now conjure its constellation around her. As she continues to study stars from other planes, she may grow to understand the strange ones in the night sky above the Monolith, as they do not match that of Faerun's. She has secured access to the Grove of Stars for her coven-sisters, who may relocate once Elowen reaches them with the news.
* '''The Caltrop's Covenant''': Unit 137 continues to show more Hellish influence, including the ability to summon Happy, a tortured lemure, and sporting a pentagram inscribed on his form. In exchange for his infernal immortality, Unit 137 has incurred a debt to the hells and will need to serve them for 666 days at some point in the future.
* '''The Piked Contract''': Smokescale battles with the philosophy of being indentured to a bunch of piking level-headed bloods. Do his chains even matter anymore? His speaking circle truth was "I really want to corrupt the owl, drag him down to my level".

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-priorparty">
* '''The Star of the Climbing Warrior''': Uchu Buredo, in company of Cedani, continues to seek a way to his home world of Tsunadehoshi. His lead is that a "Vine-Warrior" was spotted in The Velvet Harness by the pegasus Kai. (God the DM did a lot of worldbuilding for this shit.) He also seeks revenge on Vex'riath, the githyanki creche leader of Zar'kash's Forge, who also escaped and survived as that spelljammer ship was destroyed by Uchu's psionic awakening.
* '''Smoke on the Water''': Cedani, having received an urgent message from Soveliss, sought to rescue him from peril. He had been on the way to Evermeet to seek Tharos's true name and had asked of Cedani for a delivery of a scale from a white abishai before being captured by unknown assailants. Diedric (during a session he missed) assisted them, rescuing him from a Troll's cookpot by trading a useless bauble. Cedani and Uchu then proceeded to the Feywild, where her patron had called for a meeting of the seasons in response to her poetry shop being burned down by the summer eladrin Aula. Octavius had subsequently seen visions of Cedani and Uchu in Minauros, being surrounded by hags and the corpses of dead eladrin of various seasons. Uchu's eyes turned red.
* '''The Pursued and Pursuer''': Chai evades cultists pursuing her for her Changeling heritage. She accompanies Cove to the Sea of Fallen Stars, where she seeks to find the prison island that she escaped as a child.

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-pending">
* '''The High Diviner''': Tharos Orakul, deprived of the Monolith, continues to suffer from a wasting disease. In desperation, he has met with the Githyanki.
* '''The Foreseen Assault''' Octavius foresaw an attack on the monolith by Kissethkashaan, likely in the month of Flamerule (two months after Mirtul). The vision showed one faerzress crystal already shattered, two wychlaran triplets freezing and shattering, and the Monolith cracking with a yellow light emanating from the crack, hinting at something within. This was shared with Galdren, who said he'd warn the Rashemi, so they should be forewarned.
* '''Hilt's Reward''': In thanks for the party's aid in getting Xarannos to represent him in his accusation against Zelza, he told them that Fredd, a proprietor of The Shaved Coin in The Below, keeps a chest of rubies that they both gathered by using a portal to a mineral-rich pocket of the Elemental Plane of Earth. This portal lies below the fighting pits and the key is blood, so it's usually open. Hilt is also a senator of Ribcage now.
* '''A Wedding on the Wind''': The party will be invited to Ember and Zekir al-Suhail's wedding. They'll hear his voice in the wind. A greater boon was promised. This will be in two years during his coronation.
* '''The Writer''': Atrus, an author of Ages, seeks to write a linking book to a location that can cure any ailment, including Glenn's. This may take him until the month of Kythorn. He had granted the party a linking book labeled "Myst", which they could use to visit him. The tram code is half of the clocktower's set time.
* '''The Bewildered Horse''': Barnaby, the awakened horse, was not at the Velvet Harness the last two visits. Barnaby will return.
* '''The Nyaning Leonin''': Rescued from certain doom on Mirrodin, Shadespine has run off to the Rashemi Berserker Lodge to join them.
* '''The Coven and the Monolith''' Lilia's coven will soon make way for the Grove of Stars to study it and the Monolith. They owe Lilia for this opportunity, and for rescuing Elowen.
* '''The Swordmaster's Road''' Cyrus, Glenn's swordmaster, will likely have been teleported to the War Wizards of Cormyr by Galdren's teleportation circle. He'll make way to Glenn's old keep to see it restored.

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-visions">
* ''(Averted)'' '''The Diviner's Prize''': Tharos Orakul's eyes staring at Octavius as he touches the Monolith inside of a grand tower. This diversion shattered divination implements across Faerun.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Convergence of Seasons''': Cedani and three other eladrin — Summer, Spring, and Autumn — navigating a bog as dark shapes surround them.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Blue Fire Falls''': Blue fire crisscrossing the sky, lines burning as Faerûn screams.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Moon in His Arm''': Diedric wielding Selûne in his left arm.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Elder Shadow''': A colossal brain hovering over a city on the Sword Coast, many tendrils hanging down.
* ''(Unlikely Future)'' '''The Psion's Crown''': Uchu, resolute, placing a silver helmet with silver cables attached — as neon explosions appear behind him.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Skycleaver''': A colossal axe parting the clouds.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Crown of Daggers''': Unit 137 wearing a crown of daggers as a legion of devils cheer.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Melting Wings''': Devil wings melting in water.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Frog and the Falcon''': A frog riding a falcon over foggy green hills.
* ''(Happened — planeswalker spark ignition)'' '''The Fire Within''': A flame burning Octavius from within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Obelisk Laid Low''': The obelisk lying on its side in the sunlight.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Parting of Stars''': Lilia throwing her arms to the side, stars following her command and splitting the sky in twain.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Gauntlet of Golden Nails''': Diedric struggling to breathe as a hand bearing a strange gauntlet -- five rings, joined by golden chains, terminating in a golden nail on each finger -- lifted him up.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Marching Dead''': Undead shuffling in great masses, Thaymount erupting in the background.
* ''(Happened)'' '''Ten Seconds From Now''': An ogre crashing through the trees, charging at Octavius as he turns from facing the Monolith… ten seconds from now.
* ''(Future)'' '''Winter Comes to the Grove''': The Grove of Stars. Kissethkashaan, enraged, breathes a cone of cold in a sweeping pass. One of the faerzress crystals is already shattered. Two wychlaran triplets shatter to ice. The Monolith of Stars begins to crack under the cold — and a yellow light emanates from a large crack, implying something within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Red Rage''': Uchu and Cedani stand back-to-back in a bog beneath a dark fey sky as three hags approach from all sides. Dead eladrin of various seasons are scattered around them, sinking. Uchu looks to Cedani, who nods grimly. His glowing blue eyes and blue daggers turn red and he begins howling in a berserker rage.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Lich-Queen's Audience''': Hovering in the Astral Plane: a bald Red Wizard, Tharos Orakul, bowing and coughing blood as a colossal undead githyanki woman sits on a throne, examining her hand, projecting boredom while failing to conceal a glint in her eye. She notices Octavius before the vision fades.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Chorus of Stones''': B'ian Ch'k Ch'k kneels shirtless inside of a low wagon as dozens of sending stones begin vibrating all at once, voices whispering and shouting in various languages. He turns as he hears screaming outside.

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-consequences">
* '''The Mirth of the Ironjaws''': With Hulmarra Ironjaw's death, and the burning of Ironjaw's Mirth, her surviving 11 sisters are likely to have heard of the events by now.
* '''The Charmed Guard:''' Thenn, the Thayan guard charmed during the escape from the Red Wizard wagons, was taken as prisoner by Imzel. He now lives as a servant to a woman in the Grove of Stars that is foreseen to be his wife. It's an awkward relationship.
* '''The Grand Concordance''': Aristeus, a mathematician culturally spending his last days in the Astral Plane, was aided by the party who recovered a variable for him from a memory entity. His allowed him to complete a masterwork that describes the Four Compulsions and the Veil. It seems of important scientific and philosophical importance.
* '''The Silver Skiff''': Vlaakith grows irked by the unanswered theft, three fireballed githyanki, a lost apprentice, the loss of Gaath's ambush team, with one of the apprentices banished and being specifically told to "Tell Vlaakith to leave us alone!". Octavius's vision of an ill Tharos Orakul groveling before her may be of greater import however.
* '''The Lost Githyanki''': Viran, apprentice of Kith'rak Gaath, was led astray by the Alley Reapers in his pursuit of the party and is likely imprisoned in the plane of Carceri.
* '''The Doomed Noble:''' The sickly noble on a balcony in Ribcage is probably super, super dead by now. He's been replaced by a younger noble, flanked by the same red and green cambion ladies.
* '''A Hag Remembers''': The Moss Hag's scheme to secure souls with Luciel foiled, she set a trap whilst Luciel fled the city.
* '''The Alley Reapers:''' They believe Cedani is an agent for a person named Boppel, the "high-up man". They were paying her a cut of their take in the Hive Ward. While she's no longer with the party, they will consider them associates.
* '''Yan-C-in-the-Bin''': Yan-C-Bin will not soon forget the defeat of his avatar at the hands of interlopers from the Prime Material Plane.
* '''The Djinn Prince''': Rescued from a sacrifial rite, the Prince gifted the party a Carpet of Flying and promised great gifts on his wedding day.
* '''The Kobold Pilgrimage''': Spared by Diedric, kobolds worshipping Yan-C-Bin fled back to their tempestuous homeworld, now guided by a familiar moon goddess.
* '''The Telthor of Stars''': Diviners clashed and Tharos was robbed of his fate of securing the Monolith of Stars via a route in the Underdark. The Telthor still lives within, watching over the Rashemi as their tribes unite to select a new Iron Lord. Grimsnarl, an awakened wolf, invited the party's voices in selecting the next Iron Lord as the lodges gather. His own pick: "a simpleton, but his dajemma is legendary -- he travels still with the child of Bhaal on the Sword Coast."
* '''The Drow Wizardress''': Murdered by Octavius, Aunrae Drezz'Lynur was freelancing while under the guise of serving Matron Zorratha. In reality, she was playing Tharos and the duergar against each other. Matron Zorratha wonders what came of the Monolith.
* '''The Unpaid Duergar''': Expecting a payment for pick-up and delivery of the Monolith of Stars, the duergar just found an empty battleground and their gold missing.
* '''The Breaking of Threxzadur''': Octavius willingly drank of a trapped tanar'ri's power, freeing it and then defeating it. It will be reborn in the Abyss.
* '''Eight-legged Freedom''': Freed from their bonds, the goblin's infant ice spiders traveled north, to the icy mountain from which their eggs were stolen.
* '''Vix's Crown''': Sneaking through a sprawling goblin country, the party helped Vix the white kobold steal a Tuigan Helm of Command from the goblin leader.
* '''The Surviving Crossbowman''': Erik the eye-patched crossbowman was rescued from freezing to death by the party. He has foresworn adventuring and claims to be retiring.
* '''The Blood Sorceress''': Qualm and the rest of the dragon slaying party perished in Kissethkashaan's lair. The party happily looted them.
* '''The Rescued Coven-sister''': Elowen Stonereach, an offering of blood to the white dragon by the Nanraak Goblins, was rescued and whisked away. She makes way to the Dalelands to meet with her coven, who will likely travel to The Monolith of Stars to study it.
* '''The White Wyrm's Due''': Angered by the previous dragonslaying party's attempt on his life and another party escaping with his tribute, Kissethkashaan plots his revenge, remembering that one of the members of the first group was of Rashemi descent.
* '''The Piked Halfling''': Finn Fatfoot was charmed into giving up his dreamsilk and giving up Zhentarim secrets. He is on the run from authorities.
* '''The Cleansing of Hullack Forest''': A mindflayer cell, which had fled something in the Underdark, was eliminated by the party. Glenn (with the help of Shrieker) also drove the Zhentarim from his family's keep and had his curse removed. Drenn, the drow wizard in charge of this Zhentarim compound, gave the party information as to Manshoon's plans in Chuult in exchange for his life.
* '''Shrieker''': Glenn's father's Ranger General of his armies continues to patrol the region around Thunderstone, bringing justice to those that the Purple Dragon Knights cannot. Her shrieks in the night bring comfort to children and woe to brigrands. A Tuigan woman mentioned seeing her on the battlefield when Cormyr fought in an alliance against the Tuigan horde, referring to her as Glenn's father's "paramour" who saved him from an ambush. She can be summoned by lighting two pyres on the northern towers near the bridge to Hullack Forest.
* '''The Silver Blade''': Kith'rak Gaath had his entire githyanki strike force ambushed the party but were defeated. Gaath retreated, but had to leave his sword behind.
* '''Blessed Grains''': Lilia blessed the fields of the Tuigan people in an extended ritual, ensuring a bountiful harvest.
* '''The Imaskari Altar''': The party fought through sahuagin priests and destroyed an ancient Imaskari Altar that could animate undead thanks to a link to the Plane of Negative Energy.
* '''Peace on the Endless Wastes''': Peace was brokered between the Fankiang Traditionalists and Hubadai Loyalists, with the Fankiang receiving a seven year deal where they would patrol and tax the Golden Way. The Fankiang agreed to assist with Thay, and the Hubadai representative said he would bring it before their leader in Kourmira.
* '''The Justice of Hoar''': The head of Qara Sarn, a Fankiang member who attempted to leave Khan Borcha to her death, was served to Hoar as recompense for the slaying of one of his paladins. He accepted with three thunderstrikes, and Lureene Amblecrown assured that they had secured the Hoar Order's aid against Thay.
* '''Ribcage, Under New Management''': Uncovering Zelza's scheme to plunge Ribcage into the Nine Hells, Xarannos was installed as interim Duke of Ribcage. Zelza was consumed by Bel.
* '''The Third Hell's Door''': A portal to the third layer of the Nine Hells is now publicly known and guarded in the Beetle Bazaar. It's near a woman's burned-down shop. Don't say your favorite color.
* '''A Hag Still Remembers''': The Moss Hag swam through the mire of Minauros, fleeing as the party survived her trap, stole her soul coins, and even freed her Catoblepas. She may yet seek revenge or move on to safer prey.
* '''Tessavyr's Debt''': A rilmani, pinned to the earth by infernal spikes placed by a circle of succubi working for Zelza, thanked the party for its freedom, stating that they just need call its name toward the Spire should they ever need aid.

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-curiosities">
* '''The Unpowered Golem''': This still sits abandoned in the flooded depths of the Imaskari Tomb. The party also looted an Anti-Divinity Orb from the same location.
* '''The Unnamed Scholar''': The party looted the body of a female ghoul scholar with a bronze circlet, stuffing her into their Bag of Holding for later Speak-with-Dead questioning. They then proceeded to forget about it.
* '''The Bronze Rib''': A Bronze Rib in Minauros proves to be a foil to teleportation magic, although it did not look easy to move.
* '''Aunrae's Spellbook''': Aside from the Teleportation Circle spell, the dead drow's spellbook also had a loose sheet of sigils for all ten Undrek'Thoz drow-city states and the duergar city of Fraaszummdin.
* '''The Ring''': Galdren asked Diedric if Azhar, Diedric's adopted father and financier of his estate, still bore a ring with gemstones, and how many there were. Diedric confirmed there were two rubies with one inset blank. Galdren looked relieved.
* '''The Time-Skip Doppelganger''': Investigating a darkness at the heart of Thay, Galden and Navarra traced it to a doppelganger impersonating an Aglarond noble, and mid-interrogation they experienced a skip in time (candles instantly burned low) and the doppelganger was disintegrated to ash.
* '''The Interventionist Deva''': Zariel seemed like the crankiest out of the bunch at the Pavilion of Courage.

== The Story So Far ==

<div class="story-book">
<div class="story-box">
<p class="story-title">Chapter 1: Memory</p>
A group of diverse adventurers, each on their own path, found themselves at '''Ironjaw's Mirth''' on the Thay-Rashemen border. Their chance meeting was interrupted by the '''Red Wizards of Thay''', led by Vezim Sepret, who '''captured everyone''' in retaliation for losses at the Grove of Stars.

Now mired in the conflict between Thay and Rashemen and en route to a slave camp, '''the party escaped''' with aid from '''Imzel Ulmokina''', a Wychlaran druid. A letter on Vezim revealed orders from '''Tharos Orakul, High Diviner of Surthay''', to slay '''"the owl"''' and capture '''"the amphibian"''' for study.

Imzel directed them to Lirensk to meet '''Galdren Murendar''', an ally against the Red Wizards. After a perilous journey across Lake Mulsantir, where they battled quippergulls and a Gelatinous Cube, they met Galdren, '''a rebel Red Wizard''' working to reform Thay. '''He tasked them with acquiring a Grand Sensory Stone from Sigil''', the City of Doors, casting their souls into the Astral Plane.

In the '''Astral Plane''', they helped a '''mathematician''' retrieve a variable stolen by a benign memory entity. Then, they escaped '''githyanki''' pursuers through a color pool to '''The Outlands''' -- after stealing their silver. Guided by a kind bariaur's words, they journeyed towards Sigil, encountering various planar entities (including water-sharing petitioners, imps, and a '''Rogue Modron''') and ultimately reached '''Ribcage''', the gate-town to the Nine Hells.

In Ribcage, they engaged in various intrigues: upgrading a Rogue Modron with infernal silver, binding an '''imp''' into servitude with the help of a '''slaad advocate''', aiding a falsely accused man, uncovering a '''cambion's''' scheme with a '''hag''', and participating in a Blood War skirmish. They finally found passage to '''Sigil''' beneath a bar stool.

In Sigil, they discovered '''Cedani's grandmother's''' ruined poetry shop and defeated the '''Summer Eladrin''' responsible. After recovering from near-death, they met with faction representatives and negotiated with '''Niara''', a Sensate Factotum, for a '''Grand Sensory Stone in exchange for locating Ember'''.

Their search brought them to The Velvet Harness inn, where a '''pegasus''' and '''deva''' led them to a vortex to the '''Elemental Plane of Air'''. There, they survived a harrowing fall with '''Ember''''s help, learning to navigate a realm where direction is a matter of perception. They landed in the courtyard of the '''Palace of the Winds''', a majestic djinn stronghold.

There, they agreed to help rescue a '''trapped djinn''' from the clutches of '''kobolds''', defeating the '''Avatar of Yan-C-Bin'''.

Victorious, they returned to Sigil, and acquired the '''Grand Sensory Stone''' at last. Joining factions and receiving pay from '''The Alley Reapers''', they returned to their bodies in '''The Rebel Estate'''.

Grateful, Galdren rewarded them with '''vast sums of jink''', a Weave-attuned sextant, and explained that he planned to use the stone to '''capture the memories of a deceased person''' who has information invaluable to their cause.

He bid the heroes rest, for now.

'''From:''' 3rd of Tarsakh (The Claw of the Storms, April), 1372 DR

'''To:''' 7th of Tarsakh (The Claw of the Storms, April), 1372 DR
</div>
<div class="story-box">
<p class="story-title">Chapter 2: Convergence</p>
Returning from their astral journey with the '''Grand Sensory Stone''', the party awoke at '''The Rebel Estate''' to visions of '''Tharos Orakul''' warning '''Octavius''' away from Thay. '''Cedani''' departed for the Feywild, while '''Lilia Corydalis''', a starry witch seeking her missing coven sister, joined the group.

Sent to '''Urlingwood''' to cure '''Glenn's''' curse, the '''Wychlaran''' declared the barbs needed to be removed where they were cast. At the '''Monolith of Stars''', visions of fractured futures preceded a goblinoid assault. In the chaos, '''Octavius's''' latent '''planeswalker spark''' ignited, pulling them through the '''Blind Eternities''' to '''Mirrodin''' before willing them home.

Pursuing the stolen Monolith into the '''Underdark''', they uncovered drow treachery, slew the ogre assassin '''Vaergath''', and returned the relic to '''Urlingwood'''—shattering divination tools across the continent. In the '''High Country''', they freed and destroyed the demon '''Threxzadur''', then rescued '''Elowen Stonereach''' from the maw of '''Kissethkashaan''', the White Wyrm, escaping through another desperate planeswalk.

In '''Cormyr''', they infiltrated '''Phaulkon Manor''', battled '''illithid''' in '''Hullack Forest''', and finally broke '''Glenn's''' curse where '''Manshoon''' had cast it. '''Glenn''' emerged transformed, embracing both his nobility and his frog nature. '''Githyanki''' seekers arrived and were driven off; '''Kith'rak Gaath''' fled without his silver blade.

Flying east to the '''Endless Wastes''', they joined a paladin's quest for vengeance among warring '''Tuigan''' tribes. Beneath the '''Lake of Mists''', they destroyed an '''Imaskari''' altar of reanimation, collapsing its undead horde. The treacherous '''Qara Sarn's''' head became tribute to '''Hoar''', securing both tribes and the paladin order as allies.

'''Galdren''' revealed his purpose: capturing the memories of '''Navarra''', an ally slain by '''Tharos''' who knew of a weapon in the '''Fell Tower''' in a desert of '''purple sands'''. At her grave, his ritual bound her memories into the '''Grand Sensory Stone'''. He charged the heroes to carry it into the '''Outer Planes''', find her spirit, and deliver it—with '''Ember''' and her broken blue-tinted mask as their guides.

Bearing orb and mask into the '''Astral Plane''' and out through the '''Turquoise Color Pool''', they crossed a reshaped '''Outlands''' and the orchards of '''Sheela Peryroyl'''. Within sight of '''Ribcage''' they freed '''Tessavyr''', a rilmani pinned to the roadside by infernal spikes, who named a favor owed and bid them call toward the '''Spire'''.

In the city, '''Glenn's''' cheerful shout of "Green!" spoke the key to a hidden portal, dropping the party into '''Minauros''', where '''The Moss Hag''' loosed a dire troll in revenge for her ruined schemes. They shattered it, plundered her lair of thirty-three '''soul coins''', and burned her shop on their return.

'''Xarannos''' now ruled Ribcage, '''Zelza''' having been eaten by '''Bel'''. '''Unit 137's''' hellfire freed three innocent souls from the hag's coins. Passing to '''Sigil''' through the stool at '''The Bleeding Horn''', '''Diedric''' was pulled aside to stand before '''Selûne''' as the kobolds of '''The Howling Island''' reached home at last, and was named '''Favored'''. '''Ember''' sent them beneath the Cage to find the spirit-seeker '''Vistra Runehall'''.

Her trail led through '''Vos'Ultok''' to the deva '''Galenthias''', who carried them to '''Lunia''', where the pit lord '''Sulphaxus''' rose from the holy waters mortal and redeemed. At the '''Pavilion of Courage''' they learned Vistra hunts the spectre of a carpenter who betrayed a rebel to save a family he lost anyway. Through '''Khorvas's Pool''' they swam into '''Karasuthra''', the eternal midnight of the '''Beastlands''', a day and a half behind her.

== (Known) Active Plot Threads ==
''Last updated: 2026-07-30''

=== Main Quest: Seeking Navarra ===
* '''The Rebel Wizard''': Galdren Murendar, a rebel Red Wizard, seeks to undermine Thay to reform it. To this end, he has tasked the party with finding Navarra, a deceased ally. He seeks to reunite her spirit with her captured memories so he can find a way into the Fell Tower, in the Plains of Purple Dust, which is rumored to house a powerful weapon.
* '''The Spirit Seeker''': The party is currently tracking Vistra, a Spirit Seeker, in order to find Navarra's spirit. She is in Karasuthra in the Beastlands.
* '''Andren's Ledger''': Vistra is currently tracking the spirit of Andren, a man who betrayed his friend Tovaal in a failed attempt to save his family. She is on a contract from the Mercykillers.

=== Side Quests ===
* '''Hunting the Slavers''': Imzel Ulmokina, the druid that freed the party from captivity, was last heard to have been following the rest of the slave wagons, tracking them to their destination.
* '''Lake Mulsantir''': The lake south of Lirensk still suffers from Red Wizards having introduced aberrations in a past skirmish with the Rashemi.
* '''The Phaulkon-bane''': The clone of Manshoon who had assailed Glenn's keep is known to be heading for Chult, using the funds he made to hire the priests of Ubtao to transfer his soul to another body before this one fails him.
* '''Walking the Paths''': The party has learned of many paths (at least six) that can be tread to ascend the hierarchy of Mount Celestia. They need make a pledge to a representative of a Power to start their journey and may be asked to make a sacrifice. Upon walking the path, they will gain +2 to a chosen attribute.
* '''Namers and Berks''': Party members may seek to further their standing with their preferred Sigil faction, which may grant special abilities and privileges.
* '''The Monolith of Stars''': Still safe, it invites academic and divination study.
* '''The Elfmound''': Drenn, the drow wizard spared at Phaulkon Manor, spoke of a Permanency spell and other Netherese magics he found at The Elfmound.

=== Party Member Paths ===

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-memberpaths">
* '''The Planeswalker''': Octavius's planeswalker spark ignited and his fastbond to lands he visits continues to increase his power, collecting fragments of planes to revisit them more easily. He seeks to write a dissertation on the extinct Batrachi race, and has a Weave-Attuned Sextant ready to deliver to a Slaad in Sigil who is interested in its study, as he feels it may draw a connection between the Batrachi race and all Slaad.
* '''A Curse Turned Boon''': Glenn embraced his frog form as his curse was cured, gaining the ability to "wield it as a shield" as his father taught him. He idly joked that he should "start collecting curses".
* '''Favored of Selune''': Blessed by the Moon Goddess for his leading of the lost, Diedric has been named Favored. This connection may continue to grow.
* '''Touched by a Telthor''': Having served as a host for the Telthor of Stars, Lilia can now conjure its constellation around her. As she continues to study stars from other planes, she may grow to understand the strange ones in the night sky above the Monolith, as they do not match that of Faerun's. She has secured access to the Grove of Stars for her coven-sisters, who may relocate once Elowen reaches them with the news.
* '''The Caltrop's Covenant''': Unit 137 continues to show more Hellish influence, including the ability to summon Happy, a tortured lemure, and sporting a pentagram inscribed on his form. In exchange for his infernal immortality, Unit 137 has incurred a debt to the hells and will need to serve them for 666 days at some point in the future.
* '''The Piked Contract''': Smokescale battles with the philosophy of being indentured to a bunch of piking level-headed bloods. Do his chains even matter anymore? His speaking circle truth was "I really want to corrupt the owl, drag him down to my level".

* '''The Star of the Climbing Warrior''': Uchu Buredo, in company of Cedani, continues to seek a way to his home world of Tsunadehoshi. His lead is that a "Vine-Warrior" was spotted in The Velvet Harness by the pegasus Kai. (God the DM did a lot of worldbuilding for this shit.) He also seeks revenge on Vex'riath, the githyanki creche leader of Zar'kash's Forge, who also escaped and survived as that spelljammer ship was destroyed by Uchu's psionic awakening.
* '''Smoke on the Water''': Cedani, having received an urgent message from Soveliss, sought to rescue him from peril. He had been on the way to Evermeet to seek Tharos's true name and had asked of Cedani for a delivery of a scale from a white abishai before being captured by unknown assailants. Diedric (during a session he missed) assisted them, rescuing him from a Troll's cookpot by trading a useless bauble. Cedani and Uchu then proceeded to the Feywild, where her patron had called for a meeting of the seasons in response to her poetry shop being burned down by the summer eladrin Aula. Octavius had subsequently seen visions of Cedani and Uchu in Minauros, being surrounded by hags and the corpses of dead eladrin of various seasons. Uchu's eyes turned red.
* '''The Pursued and Pursuer''': Chai evades cultists pursuing her for her Changeling heritage. She accompanies Cove to the Sea of Fallen Stars, where she seeks to find the prison island that she escaped as a child.

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-pending">
* '''The High Diviner''': Tharos Orakul, deprived of the Monolith, continues to suffer from a wasting disease. In desperation, he has met with the Githyanki.
* '''The Foreseen Assault''' Octavius foresaw an attack on the monolith by Kissethkashaan, likely in the month of Flamerule (two months after Mirtul). The vision showed one faerzress crystal already shattered, two wychlaran triplets freezing and shattering, and the Monolith cracking with a yellow light emanating from the crack, hinting at something within. This was shared with Galdren, who said he'd warn the Rashemi, so they should be forewarned.
* '''Hilt's Reward''': In thanks for the party's aid in getting Xarannos to represent him in his accusation against Zelza, he told them that Fredd, a proprietor of The Shaved Coin in The Below, keeps a chest of rubies that they both gathered by using a portal to a mineral-rich pocket of the Elemental Plane of Earth. This portal lies below the fighting pits and the key is blood, so it's usually open. Hilt is also a senator of Ribcage now.
* '''A Wedding on the Wind''': The party will be invited to Ember and Zekir al-Suhail's wedding. They'll hear his voice in the wind. A greater boon was promised. This will be in two years during his coronation.
* '''The Writer''': Atrus, an author of Ages, seeks to write a linking book to a location that can cure any ailment, including Glenn's. This may take him until the month of Kythorn. He had granted the party a linking book labeled "Myst", which they could use to visit him. The tram code is half of the clocktower's set time.
* '''The Bewildered Horse''': Barnaby, the awakened horse, was not at the Velvet Harness the last two visits. Barnaby will return.
* '''The Nyaning Leonin''': Rescued from certain doom on Mirrodin, Shadespine has run off to the Rashemi Berserker Lodge to join them.
* '''The Coven and the Monolith''' Lilia's coven will soon make way for the Grove of Stars to study it and the Monolith. They owe Lilia for this opportunity, and for rescuing Elowen.
* '''The Swordmaster's Road''' Cyrus, Glenn's swordmaster, will likely have been teleported to the War Wizards of Cormyr by Galdren's teleportation circle. He'll make way to Glenn's old keep to see it restored.

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-visions">
* ''(Averted)'' '''The Diviner's Prize''': Tharos Orakul's eyes staring at Octavius as he touches the Monolith inside of a grand tower. This diversion shattered divination implements across Faerun.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Convergence of Seasons''': Cedani and three other eladrin — Summer, Spring, and Autumn — navigating a bog as dark shapes surround them.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Blue Fire Falls''': Blue fire crisscrossing the sky, lines burning as Faerûn screams.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Moon in His Arm''': Diedric wielding Selûne in his left arm.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Elder Shadow''': A colossal brain hovering over a city on the Sword Coast, many tendrils hanging down.
* ''(Unlikely Future)'' '''The Psion's Crown''': Uchu, resolute, placing a silver helmet with silver cables attached — as neon explosions appear behind him.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Skycleaver''': A colossal axe parting the clouds.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Crown of Daggers''': Unit 137 wearing a crown of daggers as a legion of devils cheer.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Melting Wings''': Devil wings melting in water.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Frog and the Falcon''': A frog riding a falcon over foggy green hills.
* ''(Happened — planeswalker spark ignition)'' '''The Fire Within''': A flame burning Octavius from within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Obelisk Laid Low''': The obelisk lying on its side in the sunlight.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Parting of Stars''': Lilia throwing her arms to the side, stars following her command and splitting the sky in twain.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Gauntlet of Golden Nails''': Diedric struggling to breathe as a hand bearing a strange gauntlet -- five rings, joined by golden chains, terminating in a golden nail on each finger -- lifted him up.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Marching Dead''': Undead shuffling in great masses, Thaymount erupting in the background.
* ''(Happened)'' '''Ten Seconds From Now''': An ogre crashing through the trees, charging at Octavius as he turns from facing the Monolith… ten seconds from now.
* ''(Future)'' '''Winter Comes to the Grove''': The Grove of Stars. Kissethkashaan, enraged, breathes a cone of cold in a sweeping pass. One of the faerzress crystals is already shattered. Two wychlaran triplets shatter to ice. The Monolith of Stars begins to crack under the cold — and a yellow light emanates from a large crack, implying something within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Red Rage''': Uchu and Cedani stand back-to-back in a bog beneath a dark fey sky as three hags approach from all sides. Dead eladrin of various seasons are scattered around them, sinking. Uchu looks to Cedani, who nods grimly. His glowing blue eyes and blue daggers turn red and he begins howling in a berserker rage.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Lich-Queen's Audience''': Hovering in the Astral Plane: a bald Red Wizard, Tharos Orakul, bowing and coughing blood as a colossal undead githyanki woman sits on a throne, examining her hand, projecting boredom while failing to conceal a glint in her eye. She notices Octavius before the vision fades.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Chorus of Stones''': B'ian Ch'k Ch'k kneels shirtless inside of a low wagon as dozens of sending stones begin vibrating all at once, voices whispering and shouting in various languages. He turns as he hears screaming outside.

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-consequences">
* '''The Mirth of the Ironjaws''': With Hulmarra Ironjaw's death, and the burning of Ironjaw's Mirth, her surviving 11 sisters are likely to have heard of the events by now.
* '''The Charmed Guard:''' Thenn, the Thayan guard charmed during the escape from the Red Wizard wagons, was taken as prisoner by Imzel. He now lives as a servant to a woman in the Grove of Stars that is foreseen to be his wife. It's an awkward relationship.
* '''The Grand Concordance''': Aristeus, a mathematician culturally spending his last days in the Astral Plane, was aided by the party who recovered a variable for him from a memory entity. His allowed him to complete a masterwork that describes the Four Compulsions and the Veil. It seems of important scientific and philosophical importance.
* '''The Silver Skiff''': Vlaakith grows irked by the unanswered theft, three fireballed githyanki, a lost apprentice, the loss of Gaath's ambush team, with one of the apprentices banished and being specifically told to "Tell Vlaakith to leave us alone!". Octavius's vision of an ill Tharos Orakul groveling before her may be of greater import however.
* '''The Lost Githyanki''': Viran, apprentice of Kith'rak Gaath, was led astray by the Alley Reapers in his pursuit of the party and is likely imprisoned in the plane of Carceri.
* '''The Doomed Noble:''' The sickly noble on a balcony in Ribcage is probably super, super dead by now. He's been replaced by a younger noble, flanked by the same red and green cambion ladies.
* '''A Hag Remembers''': The Moss Hag's scheme to secure souls with Luciel foiled, she set a trap whilst Luciel fled the city.
* '''The Alley Reapers:''' They believe Cedani is an agent for a person named Boppel, the "high-up man". They were paying her a cut of their take in the Hive Ward. While she's no longer with the party, they will consider them associates.
* '''Yan-C-in-the-Bin''': Yan-C-Bin will not soon forget the defeat of his avatar at the hands of interlopers from the Prime Material Plane.
* '''The Djinn Prince''': Rescued from a sacrifial rite, the Prince gifted the party a Carpet of Flying and promised great gifts on his wedding day.
* '''The Kobold Pilgrimage''': Spared by Diedric, kobolds worshipping Yan-C-Bin fled back to their tempestuous homeworld, now guided by a familiar moon goddess.
* '''The Telthor of Stars''': Diviners clashed and Tharos was robbed of his fate of securing the Monolith of Stars via a route in the Underdark. The Telthor still lives within, watching over the Rashemi as their tribes unite to select a new Iron Lord. Grimsnarl, an awakened wolf, invited the party's voices in selecting the next Iron Lord as the lodges gather. His own pick: "a simpleton, but his dajemma is legendary -- he travels still with the child of Bhaal on the Sword Coast."
* '''The Drow Wizardress''': Murdered by Octavius, Aunrae Drezz'Lynur was freelancing while under the guise of serving Matron Zorratha. In reality, she was playing Tharos and the duergar against each other. Matron Zorratha wonders what came of the Monolith.
* '''The Unpaid Duergar''': Expecting a payment for pick-up and delivery of the Monolith of Stars, the duergar just found an empty battleground and their gold missing.
* '''The Breaking of Threxzadur''': Octavius willingly drank of a trapped tanar'ri's power, freeing it and then defeating it. It will be reborn in the Abyss.
* '''Eight-legged Freedom''': Freed from their bonds, the goblin's infant ice spiders traveled north, to the icy mountain from which their eggs were stolen.
* '''Vix's Crown''': Sneaking through a sprawling goblin country, the party helped Vix the white kobold steal a Tuigan Helm of Command from the goblin leader.
* '''The Surviving Crossbowman''': Erik the eye-patched crossbowman was rescued from freezing to death by the party. He has foresworn adventuring and claims to be retiring.
* '''The Blood Sorceress''': Qualm and the rest of the dragon slaying party perished in Kissethkashaan's lair. The party happily looted them.
* '''The Rescued Coven-sister''': Elowen Stonereach, an offering of blood to the white dragon by the Nanraak Goblins, was rescued and whisked away. She makes way to the Dalelands to meet with her coven, who will likely travel to The Monolith of Stars to study it.
* '''The White Wyrm's Due''': Angered by the previous dragonslaying party's attempt on his life and another party escaping with his tribute, Kissethkashaan plots his revenge, remembering that one of the members of the first group was of Rashemi descent.
* '''The Piked Halfling''': Finn Fatfoot was charmed into giving up his dreamsilk and giving up Zhentarim secrets. He is on the run from authorities.
* '''The Cleansing of Hullack Forest''': A mindflayer cell, which had fled something in the Underdark, was eliminated by the party. Glenn (with the help of Shrieker) also drove the Zhentarim from his family's keep and had his curse removed. Drenn, the drow wizard in charge of this Zhentarim compound, gave the party information as to Manshoon's plans in Chuult in exchange for his life.
* '''Shrieker''': Glenn's father's Ranger General of his armies continues to patrol the region around Thunderstone, bringing justice to those that the Purple Dragon Knights cannot. Her shrieks in the night bring comfort to children and woe to brigrands. A Tuigan woman mentioned seeing her on the battlefield when Cormyr fought in an alliance against the Tuigan horde, referring to her as Glenn's father's "paramour" who saved him from an ambush. She can be summoned by lighting two pyres on the northern towers near the bridge to Hullack Forest.
* '''The Silver Blade''': Kith'rak Gaath had his entire githyanki strike force ambushed the party but were defeated. Gaath retreated, but had to leave his sword behind.
* '''Blessed Grains''': Lilia blessed the fields of the Tuigan people in an extended ritual, ensuring a bountiful harvest.
* '''The Imaskari Altar''': The party fought through sahuagin priests and destroyed an ancient Imaskari Altar that could animate undead thanks to a link to the Plane of Negative Energy.
* '''Peace on the Endless Wastes''': Peace was brokered between the Fankiang Traditionalists and Hubadai Loyalists, with the Fankiang receiving a seven year deal where they would patrol and tax the Golden Way. The Fankiang agreed to assist with Thay, and the Hubadai representative said he would bring it before their leader in Kourmira.
* '''The Justice of Hoar''': The head of Qara Sarn, a Fankiang member who attempted to leave Khan Borcha to her death, was served to Hoar as recompense for the slaying of one of his paladins. He accepted with three thunderstrikes, and Lureene Amblecrown assured that they had secured the Hoar Order's aid against Thay.
* '''Ribcage, Under New Management''': Uncovering Zelza's scheme to plunge Ribcage into the Nine Hells, Xarannos was installed as interim Duke of Ribcage. Zelza was consumed by Bel.
* '''The Third Hell's Door''': A portal to the third layer of the Nine Hells is now publicly known and guarded in the Beetle Bazaar. It's near a woman's burned-down shop. Don't say your favorite color.
* '''A Hag Still Remembers''': The Moss Hag swam through the mire of Minauros, fleeing as the party survived her trap, stole her soul coins, and even freed her Catoblepas. She may yet seek revenge or move on to safer prey.
* '''Tessavyr's Debt''': A rilmani, pinned to the earth by infernal spikes placed by a circle of succubi working for Zelza, thanked the party for its freedom, stating that they just need call its name toward the Spire should they ever need aid.

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-curiosities">
* '''The Unpowered Golem''': This still sits abandoned in the flooded depths of the Imaskari Tomb. The party also looted an Anti-Divinity Orb from the same location.
* '''The Unnamed Scholar''': The party looted the body of a female ghoul scholar with a bronze circlet, stuffing her into their Bag of Holding for later Speak-with-Dead questioning. They then proceeded to forget about it.
* '''The Bronze Rib''': A Bronze Rib in Minauros proves to be a foil to teleportation magic, although it did not look easy to move.
* '''Aunrae's Spellbook''': Aside from the Teleportation Circle spell, the dead drow's spellbook also had a loose sheet of sigils for all ten Undrek'Thoz drow-city states and the duergar city of Fraaszummdin.
* '''The Ring''': Galdren asked Diedric if Azhar, Diedric's adopted father and financier of his estate, still bore a ring with gemstones, and how many there were. Diedric confirmed there were two rubies with one inset blank. Galdren looked relieved.
* '''The Time-Skip Doppelganger''': Investigating a darkness at the heart of Thay, Galden and Navarra traced it to a doppelganger impersonating an Aglarond noble, and mid-interrogation they experienced a skip in time (candles instantly burned low) and the doppelganger was disintegrated to ash.
* '''The Interventionist Deva''': Zariel seemed like the crankiest out of the bunch at the Pavilion of Courage.

== The Story So Far ==

<div class="story-book">
<div class="story-box">
<p class="story-title">Chapter 1: Memory</p>
A group of diverse adventurers, each on their own path, found themselves at '''Ironjaw's Mirth''' on the Thay-Rashemen border. Their chance meeting was interrupted by the '''Red Wizards of Thay''', led by Vezim Sepret, who '''captured everyone''' in retaliation for losses at the Grove of Stars.

Now mired in the conflict between Thay and Rashemen and en route to a slave camp, '''the party escaped''' with aid from '''Imzel Ulmokina''', a Wychlaran druid. A letter on Vezim revealed orders from '''Tharos Orakul, High Diviner of Surthay''', to slay '''"the owl"''' and capture '''"the amphibian"''' for study.

Imzel directed them to Lirensk to meet '''Galdren Murendar''', an ally against the Red Wizards. After a perilous journey across Lake Mulsantir, where they battled quippergulls and a Gelatinous Cube, they met Galdren, '''a rebel Red Wizard''' working to reform Thay. '''He tasked them with acquiring a Grand Sensory Stone from Sigil''', the City of Doors, casting their souls into the Astral Plane.

In the '''Astral Plane''', they helped a '''mathematician''' retrieve a variable stolen by a benign memory entity. Then, they escaped '''githyanki''' pursuers through a color pool to '''The Outlands''' -- after stealing their silver. Guided by a kind bariaur's words, they journeyed towards Sigil, encountering various planar entities (including water-sharing petitioners, imps, and a '''Rogue Modron''') and ultimately reached '''Ribcage''', the gate-town to the Nine Hells.

In Ribcage, they engaged in various intrigues: upgrading a Rogue Modron with infernal silver, binding an '''imp''' into servitude with the help of a '''slaad advocate''', aiding a falsely accused man, uncovering a '''cambion's''' scheme with a '''hag''', and participating in a Blood War skirmish. They finally found passage to '''Sigil''' beneath a bar stool.

In Sigil, they discovered '''Cedani's grandmother's''' ruined poetry shop and defeated the '''Summer Eladrin''' responsible. After recovering from near-death, they met with faction representatives and negotiated with '''Niara''', a Sensate Factotum, for a '''Grand Sensory Stone in exchange for locating Ember'''.

Their search brought them to The Velvet Harness inn, where a '''pegasus''' and '''deva''' led them to a vortex to the '''Elemental Plane of Air'''. There, they survived a harrowing fall with '''Ember''''s help, learning to navigate a realm where direction is a matter of perception. They landed in the courtyard of the '''Palace of the Winds''', a majestic djinn stronghold.

There, they agreed to help rescue a '''trapped djinn''' from the clutches of '''kobolds''', defeating the '''Avatar of Yan-C-Bin'''.

Victorious, they returned to Sigil, and acquired the '''Grand Sensory Stone''' at last. Joining factions and receiving pay from '''The Alley Reapers''', they returned to their bodies in '''The Rebel Estate'''.

Grateful, Galdren rewarded them with '''vast sums of jink''', a Weave-attuned sextant, and explained that he planned to use the stone to '''capture the memories of a deceased person''' who has information invaluable to their cause.

He bid the heroes rest, for now.

'''From:''' 3rd of Tarsakh (The Claw of the Storms, April), 1372 DR

'''To:''' 7th of Tarsakh (The Claw of the Storms, April), 1372 DR
</div>
<div class="story-box">
<p class="story-title">Chapter 2: Convergence</p>
Returning from their astral journey with the '''Grand Sensory Stone''', the party awoke at '''The Rebel Estate''' to visions of '''Tharos Orakul''' warning '''Octavius''' away from Thay. '''Cedani''' departed for the Feywild, while '''Lilia Corydalis''', a starry witch seeking her missing coven sister, joined the group.

Sent to '''Urlingwood''' to cure '''Glenn's''' curse, the '''Wychlaran''' declared the barbs needed to be removed where they were cast. At the '''Monolith of Stars''', visions of fractured futures preceded a goblinoid assault. In the chaos, '''Octavius's''' latent '''planeswalker spark''' ignited, pulling them through the '''Blind Eternities''' to '''Mirrodin''' before willing them home.

Pursuing the stolen Monolith into the '''Underdark''', they uncovered drow treachery, slew the ogre assassin '''Vaergath''', and returned the relic to '''Urlingwood'''—shattering divination tools across the continent. In the '''High Country''', they freed and destroyed the demon '''Threxzadur''', then rescued '''Elowen Stonereach''' from the maw of '''Kissethkashaan''', the White Wyrm, escaping through another desperate planeswalk.

In '''Cormyr''', they infiltrated '''Phaulkon Manor''', battled '''illithid''' in '''Hullack Forest''', and finally broke '''Glenn's''' curse where '''Manshoon''' had cast it. '''Glenn''' emerged transformed, embracing both his nobility and his frog nature. '''Githyanki''' seekers arrived and were driven off; '''Kith'rak Gaath''' fled without his silver blade.

Flying east to the '''Endless Wastes''', they joined a paladin's quest for vengeance among warring '''Tuigan''' tribes. Beneath the '''Lake of Mists''', they destroyed an '''Imaskari''' altar of reanimation, collapsing its undead horde. The treacherous '''Qara Sarn's''' head became tribute to '''Hoar''', securing both tribes and the paladin order as allies.

'''Galdren''' revealed his purpose: capturing the memories of '''Navarra''', an ally slain by '''Tharos''' who knew of a weapon in the '''Fell Tower''' in a desert of '''purple sands'''. At her grave, his ritual bound her memories into the '''Grand Sensory Stone'''. He charged the heroes to carry it into the '''Outer Planes''', find her spirit, and deliver it—with '''Ember''' and her broken blue-tinted mask as their guides.

Bearing orb and mask into the '''Astral Plane''' and out through the '''Turquoise Color Pool''', they crossed a reshaped '''Outlands''' and the orchards of '''Sheela Peryroyl'''. Within sight of '''Ribcage''' they freed '''Tessavyr''', a rilmani pinned to the roadside by infernal spikes, who named a favor owed and bid them call toward the '''Spire'''.

In the city, '''Glenn's''' cheerful shout of "Green!" spoke the key to a hidden portal, dropping the party into '''Minauros''', where '''The Moss Hag''' loosed a dire troll in revenge for her ruined schemes. They shattered it, plundered her lair of thirty-three '''soul coins''', and burned her shop on their return.

'''Xarannos''' now ruled Ribcage, '''Zelza''' having been eaten by '''Bel'''. '''Unit 137's''' hellfire freed three innocent souls from the hag's coins. Passing to '''Sigil''' through the stool at '''The Bleeding Horn''', '''Diedric''' was pulled aside to stand before '''Selûne''' as the kobolds of '''The Howling Island''' reached home at last, and was named '''Favored'''. '''Ember''' sent them beneath the Cage to find the spirit-seeker '''Vistra Runehall'''.

Her trail led through '''Vos'Ultok''' to the deva '''Galenthias''', who carried them to '''Lunia''', where the pit lord '''Sulphaxus''' rose from the holy waters mortal and redeemed. At the '''Pavilion of Courage''' they learned Vistra hunts the spectre of a carpenter who betrayed a rebel to save a family he lost anyway. Through '''Khorvas's Pool''' they swam into '''Karasuthra''', the eternal midnight of the '''Beastlands''', a day and a half behind her.

== (Known) Active Plot Threads ==
''Last updated: 2026-07-30''

=== Main Quest: Seeking Navarra ===
* '''The Rebel Wizard''': Galdren Murendar, a rebel Red Wizard, seeks to undermine Thay to reform it. To this end, he has tasked the party with finding Navarra, a deceased ally. He seeks to reunite her spirit with her captured memories so he can find a way into the Fell Tower, in the Plains of Purple Dust, which is rumored to house a powerful weapon.
* '''The Spirit Seeker''': The party is currently tracking Vistra, a Spirit Seeker, in order to find Navarra's spirit. She is in Karasuthra in the Beastlands.
* '''Andren's Ledger''': Vistra is currently tracking the spirit of Andren, a man who betrayed his friend Tovaal in a failed attempt to save his family. She is on a contract from the Mercykillers.

=== Side Quests ===
* '''Hunting the Slavers''': Imzel Ulmokina, the druid that freed the party from captivity, was last heard to have been following the rest of the slave wagons, tracking them to their destination.
* '''Lake Mulsantir''': The lake south of Lirensk still suffers from Red Wizards having introduced aberrations in a past skirmish with the Rashemi.
* '''The Phaulkon-bane''': The clone of Manshoon who had assailed Glenn's keep is known to be heading for Chult, using the funds he made to hire the priests of Ubtao to transfer his soul to another body before this one fails him.
* '''Walking the Paths''': The party has learned of many paths (at least six) that can be tread to ascend the hierarchy of Mount Celestia. They need make a pledge to a representative of a Power to start their journey and may be asked to make a sacrifice. Upon walking the path, they will gain +2 to a chosen attribute.
* '''Namers and Berks''': Party members may seek to further their standing with their preferred Sigil faction, which may grant special abilities and privileges.
* '''The Monolith of Stars''': Still safe, it invites academic and divination study.
* '''The Elfmound''': Drenn, the drow wizard spared at Phaulkon Manor, spoke of a Permanency spell and other Netherese magics he found at The Elfmound.

=== Party Member Paths ===

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-memberpaths">
* '''The Planeswalker''': Octavius's planeswalker spark ignited and his fastbond to lands he visits continues to increase his power, collecting fragments of planes to revisit them more easily. He seeks to write a dissertation on the extinct Batrachi race, and has a Weave-Attuned Sextant ready to deliver to a Slaad in Sigil who is interested in its study, as he feels it may draw a connection between the Batrachi race and all Slaad.
* '''A Curse Turned Boon''': Glenn embraced his frog form as his curse was cured, gaining the ability to "wield it as a shield" as his father taught him. He idly joked that he should "start collecting curses".
* '''Favored of Selune''': Blessed by the Moon Goddess for his leading of the lost, Diedric has been named Favored. This connection may continue to grow.
* '''Touched by a Telthor''': Having served as a host for the Telthor of Stars, Lilia can now conjure its constellation around her. As she continues to study stars from other planes, she may grow to understand the strange ones in the night sky above the Monolith, as they do not match that of Faerun's. She has secured access to the Grove of Stars for her coven-sisters, who may relocate once Elowen reaches them with the news.
* '''The Caltrop's Covenant''': Unit 137 continues to show more Hellish influence, including the ability to summon Happy, a tortured lemure, and sporting a pentagram inscribed on his form. In exchange for his infernal immortality, Unit 137 has incurred a debt to the hells and will need to serve them for 666 days at some point in the future.
* '''The Piked Contract''': Smokescale battles with the philosophy of being indentured to a bunch of piking level-headed bloods. Do his chains even matter anymore? His speaking circle truth was "I really want to corrupt the owl, drag him down to my level".

* '''The Star of the Climbing Warrior''': Uchu Buredo, in company of Cedani, continues to seek a way to his home world of Tsunadehoshi. His lead is that a "Vine-Warrior" was spotted in The Velvet Harness by the pegasus Kai. (God the DM did a lot of worldbuilding for this shit.) He also seeks revenge on Vex'riath, the githyanki creche leader of Zar'kash's Forge, who also escaped and survived as that spelljammer ship was destroyed by Uchu's psionic awakening.
* '''Smoke on the Water''': Cedani, having received an urgent message from Soveliss, sought to rescue him from peril. He had been on the way to Evermeet to seek Tharos's true name and had asked of Cedani for a delivery of a scale from a white abishai before being captured by unknown assailants. Diedric (during a session he missed) assisted them, rescuing him from a Troll's cookpot by trading a useless bauble. Cedani and Uchu then proceeded to the Feywild, where her patron had called for a meeting of the seasons in response to her poetry shop being burned down by the summer eladrin Aula. Octavius had subsequently seen visions of Cedani and Uchu in Minauros, being surrounded by hags and the corpses of dead eladrin of various seasons. Uchu's eyes turned red.
* '''The Pursued and Pursuer''': Chai evades cultists pursuing her for her Changeling heritage. She accompanies Cove to the Sea of Fallen Stars, where she seeks to find the prison island that she escaped as a child.

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-pending">
* '''The High Diviner''': Tharos Orakul, deprived of the Monolith, continues to suffer from a wasting disease. In desperation, he has met with the Githyanki.
* '''The Foreseen Assault''' Octavius foresaw an attack on the monolith by Kissethkashaan, likely in the month of Flamerule (two months after Mirtul). The vision showed one faerzress crystal already shattered, two wychlaran triplets freezing and shattering, and the Monolith cracking with a yellow light emanating from the crack, hinting at something within. This was shared with Galdren, who said he'd warn the Rashemi, so they should be forewarned.
* '''Hilt's Reward''': In thanks for the party's aid in getting Xarannos to represent him in his accusation against Zelza, he told them that Fredd, a proprietor of The Shaved Coin in The Below, keeps a chest of rubies that they both gathered by using a portal to a mineral-rich pocket of the Elemental Plane of Earth. This portal lies below the fighting pits and the key is blood, so it's usually open. Hilt is also a senator of Ribcage now.
* '''A Wedding on the Wind''': The party will be invited to Ember and Zekir al-Suhail's wedding. They'll hear his voice in the wind. A greater boon was promised. This will be in two years during his coronation.
* '''The Writer''': Atrus, an author of Ages, seeks to write a linking book to a location that can cure any ailment, including Glenn's. This may take him until the month of Kythorn. He had granted the party a linking book labeled "Myst", which they could use to visit him. The tram code is half of the clocktower's set time.
* '''The Bewildered Horse''': Barnaby, the awakened horse, was not at the Velvet Harness the last two visits. Barnaby will return.
* '''The Nyaning Leonin''': Rescued from certain doom on Mirrodin, Shadespine has run off to the Rashemi Berserker Lodge to join them.
* '''The Coven and the Monolith''' Lilia's coven will soon make way for the Grove of Stars to study it and the Monolith. They owe Lilia for this opportunity, and for rescuing Elowen.
* '''The Swordmaster's Road''' Cyrus, Glenn's swordmaster, will likely have been teleported to the War Wizards of Cormyr by Galdren's teleportation circle. He'll make way to Glenn's old keep to see it restored.

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-visions">
* ''(Averted)'' '''The Diviner's Prize''': Tharos Orakul's eyes staring at Octavius as he touches the Monolith inside of a grand tower. This diversion shattered divination implements across Faerun.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Convergence of Seasons''': Cedani and three other eladrin — Summer, Spring, and Autumn — navigating a bog as dark shapes surround them.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Blue Fire Falls''': Blue fire crisscrossing the sky, lines burning as Faerûn screams.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Moon in His Arm''': Diedric wielding Selûne in his left arm.

* ''(Future)'' '''The Skycleaver''': A colossal axe parting the clouds.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Crown of Daggers''': Unit 137 wearing a crown of daggers as a legion of devils cheer.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Melting Wings''': Devil wings melting in water.

* ''(Future)'' '''The Parting of Stars''': Lilia throwing her arms to the side, stars following her command and splitting the sky in twain.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Gauntlet of Golden Nails''': Diedric struggling to breathe as a hand bearing a strange gauntlet -- five rings, joined by golden chains, terminating in a golden nail on each finger -- lifted him up.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Marching Dead''': Undead shuffling in great masses, Thaymount erupting in the background.
* ''(Happened)'' '''Ten Seconds From Now''': An ogre crashing through the trees, charging at Octavius as he turns from facing the Monolith… ten seconds from now.
* ''(Future)'' '''Winter Comes to the Grove''': The Grove of Stars. Kissethkashaan, enraged, breathes a cone of cold in a sweeping pass. One of the faerzress crystals is already shattered. Two wychlaran triplets shatter to ice. The Monolith of Stars begins to crack under the cold — and a yellow light emanates from a large crack, implying something within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Red Rage''': Uchu and Cedani stand back-to-back in a bog beneath a dark fey sky as three hags approach from all sides. Dead eladrin of various seasons are scattered around them, sinking. Uchu looks to Cedani, who nods grimly. His glowing blue eyes and blue daggers turn red and he begins howling in a berserker rage.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Lich-Queen's Audience''': Hovering in the Astral Plane: a bald Red Wizard, Tharos Orakul, bowing and coughing blood as a colossal undead githyanki woman sits on a throne, examining her hand, projecting boredom while failing to conceal a glint in her eye. She notices Octavius before the vision fades.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Chorus of Stones''': B'ian Ch'k Ch'k kneels shirtless inside of a low wagon as dozens of sending stones begin vibrating all at once, voices whispering and shouting in various languages. He turns as he hears screaming outside.

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-consequences">
* '''The Mirth of the Ironjaws''': With Hulmarra Ironjaw's death, and the burning of Ironjaw's Mirth, her surviving 11 sisters are likely to have heard of the events by now.
* '''The Charmed Guard:''' Thenn, the Thayan guard charmed during the escape from the Red Wizard wagons, was taken as prisoner by Imzel. He now lives as a servant to a woman in the Grove of Stars that is foreseen to be his wife. It's an awkward relationship.
* '''The Grand Concordance''': Aristeus, a mathematician culturally spending his last days in the Astral Plane, was aided by the party who recovered a variable for him from a memory entity. His allowed him to complete a masterwork that describes the Four Compulsions and the Veil. It seems of important scientific and philosophical importance.
* '''The Silver Skiff''': Vlaakith grows irked by the unanswered theft, three fireballed githyanki, a lost apprentice, the loss of Gaath's ambush team, with one of the apprentices banished and being specifically told to "Tell Vlaakith to leave us alone!". Octavius's vision of an ill Tharos Orakul groveling before her may be of greater import however.
* '''The Lost Githyanki''': Viran, apprentice of Kith'rak Gaath, was led astray by the Alley Reapers in his pursuit of the party and is likely imprisoned in the plane of Carceri.
* '''The Doomed Noble:''' The sickly noble on a balcony in Ribcage is probably super, super dead by now. He's been replaced by a younger noble, flanked by the same red and green cambion ladies.
* '''A Hag Remembers''': The Moss Hag's scheme to secure souls with Luciel foiled, she set a trap whilst Luciel fled the city.
* '''The Alley Reapers:''' They believe Cedani is an agent for a person named Boppel, the "high-up man". They were paying her a cut of their take in the Hive Ward. While she's no longer with the party, they will consider them associates.
* '''Yan-C-in-the-Bin''': Yan-C-Bin will not soon forget the defeat of his avatar at the hands of interlopers from the Prime Material Plane.
* '''The Djinn Prince''': Rescued from a sacrifial rite, the Prince gifted the party a Carpet of Flying and promised great gifts on his wedding day.
* '''The Kobold Pilgrimage''': Spared by Diedric, kobolds worshipping Yan-C-Bin fled back to their tempestuous homeworld, now guided by a familiar moon goddess.
* '''The Telthor of Stars''': Diviners clashed and Tharos was robbed of his fate of securing the Monolith of Stars via a route in the Underdark. The Telthor still lives within, watching over the Rashemi as their tribes unite to select a new Iron Lord. Grimsnarl, an awakened wolf, invited the party's voices in selecting the next Iron Lord as the lodges gather. His own pick: "a simpleton, but his dajemma is legendary -- he travels still with the child of Bhaal on the Sword Coast."
* '''The Drow Wizardress''': Murdered by Octavius, Aunrae Drezz'Lynur was freelancing while under the guise of serving Matron Zorratha. In reality, she was playing Tharos and the duergar against each other. Matron Zorratha wonders what came of the Monolith.
* '''The Unpaid Duergar''': Expecting a payment for pick-up and delivery of the Monolith of Stars, the duergar just found an empty battleground and their gold missing.
* '''The Breaking of Threxzadur''': Octavius willingly drank of a trapped tanar'ri's power, freeing it and then defeating it. It will be reborn in the Abyss.
* '''Eight-legged Freedom''': Freed from their bonds, the goblin's infant ice spiders traveled north, to the icy mountain from which their eggs were stolen.
* '''Vix's Crown''': Sneaking through a sprawling goblin country, the party helped Vix the white kobold steal a Tuigan Helm of Command from the goblin leader.
* '''The Surviving Crossbowman''': Erik the eye-patched crossbowman was rescued from freezing to death by the party. He has foresworn adventuring and claims to be retiring.
* '''The Blood Sorceress''': Qualm and the rest of the dragon slaying party perished in Kissethkashaan's lair. The party happily looted them.
* '''The Rescued Coven-sister''': Elowen Stonereach, an offering of blood to the white dragon by the Nanraak Goblins, was rescued and whisked away. She makes way to the Dalelands to meet with her coven, who will likely travel to The Monolith of Stars to study it.
* '''The White Wyrm's Due''': Angered by the previous dragonslaying party's attempt on his life and another party escaping with his tribute, Kissethkashaan plots his revenge, remembering that one of the members of the first group was of Rashemi descent.
* '''The Piked Halfling''': Finn Fatfoot was charmed into giving up his dreamsilk and giving up Zhentarim secrets. He is on the run from authorities.
* '''The Cleansing of Hullack Forest''': A mindflayer cell, which had fled something in the Underdark, was eliminated by the party. Glenn (with the help of Shrieker) also drove the Zhentarim from his family's keep and had his curse removed. Drenn, the drow wizard in charge of this Zhentarim compound, gave the party information as to Manshoon's plans in Chuult in exchange for his life.
* '''Shrieker''': Glenn's father's Ranger General of his armies continues to patrol the region around Thunderstone, bringing justice to those that the Purple Dragon Knights cannot. Her shrieks in the night bring comfort to children and woe to brigrands. A Tuigan woman mentioned seeing her on the battlefield when Cormyr fought in an alliance against the Tuigan horde, referring to her as Glenn's father's "paramour" who saved him from an ambush. She can be summoned by lighting two pyres on the northern towers near the bridge to Hullack Forest.
* '''The Silver Blade''': Kith'rak Gaath had his entire githyanki strike force ambushed the party but were defeated. Gaath retreated, but had to leave his sword behind.
* '''Blessed Grains''': Lilia blessed the fields of the Tuigan people in an extended ritual, ensuring a bountiful harvest.
* '''The Imaskari Altar''': The party fought through sahuagin priests and destroyed an ancient Imaskari Altar that could animate undead thanks to a link to the Plane of Negative Energy.
* '''Peace on the Endless Wastes''': Peace was brokered between the Fankiang Traditionalists and Hubadai Loyalists, with the Fankiang receiving a seven year deal where they would patrol and tax the Golden Way. The Fankiang agreed to assist with Thay, and the Hubadai representative said he would bring it before their leader in Kourmira.
* '''The Justice of Hoar''': The head of Qara Sarn, a Fankiang member who attempted to leave Khan Borcha to her death, was served to Hoar as recompense for the slaying of one of his paladins. He accepted with three thunderstrikes, and Lureene Amblecrown assured that they had secured the Hoar Order's aid against Thay.
* '''Ribcage, Under New Management''': Uncovering Zelza's scheme to plunge Ribcage into the Nine Hells, Xarannos was installed as interim Duke of Ribcage. Zelza was consumed by Bel.
* '''The Third Hell's Door''': A portal to the third layer of the Nine Hells is now publicly known and guarded in the Beetle Bazaar. It's near a woman's burned-down shop. Don't say your favorite color.
* '''A Hag Still Remembers''': The Moss Hag swam through the mire of Minauros, fleeing as the party survived her trap, stole her soul coins, and even freed her Catoblepas. She may yet seek revenge or move on to safer prey.
* '''Tessavyr's Debt''': A rilmani, pinned to the earth by infernal spikes placed by a circle of succubi working for Zelza, thanked the party for its freedom, stating that they just need call its name toward the Spire should they ever need aid.

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-curiosities">
* '''The Unpowered Golem''': This still sits abandoned in the flooded depths of the Imaskari Tomb. The party also looted an Anti-Divinity Orb from the same location.
* '''The Unnamed Scholar''': The party looted the body of a female ghoul scholar with a bronze circlet, stuffing her into their Bag of Holding for later Speak-with-Dead questioning. They then proceeded to forget about it.
* '''The Bronze Rib''': A Bronze Rib in Minauros proves to be a foil to teleportation magic, although it did not look easy to move.
* '''Aunrae's Spellbook''': Aside from the Teleportation Circle spell, the dead drow's spellbook also had a loose sheet of sigils for all ten Undrek'Thoz drow-city states and the duergar city of Fraaszummdin.
* '''The Ring''': Galdren asked Diedric if Azhar, Diedric's adopted father and financier of his estate, still bore a ring with gemstones, and how many there were. Diedric confirmed there were two rubies with one inset blank. Galdren looked relieved.
* '''The Time-Skip Doppelganger''': Investigating a darkness at the heart of Thay, Galden and Navarra traced it to a doppelganger impersonating an Aglarond noble, and mid-interrogation they experienced a skip in time (candles instantly burned low) and the doppelganger was disintegrated to ash.
* '''The Interventionist Deva''': Zariel seemed like the crankiest out of the bunch at the Pavilion of Courage.

== The Story So Far ==

<div class="story-book">
<div class="story-box">
<p class="story-title">Chapter 1: Memory</p>
A group of diverse adventurers, each on their own path, found themselves at '''Ironjaw's Mirth''' on the Thay-Rashemen border. Their chance meeting was interrupted by the '''Red Wizards of Thay''', led by Vezim Sepret, who '''captured everyone''' in retaliation for losses at the Grove of Stars.

Now mired in the conflict between Thay and Rashemen and en route to a slave camp, '''the party escaped''' with aid from '''Imzel Ulmokina''', a Wychlaran druid. A letter on Vezim revealed orders from '''Tharos Orakul, High Diviner of Surthay''', to slay '''"the owl"''' and capture '''"the amphibian"''' for study.

Imzel directed them to Lirensk to meet '''Galdren Murendar''', an ally against the Red Wizards. After a perilous journey across Lake Mulsantir, where they battled quippergulls and a Gelatinous Cube, they met Galdren, '''a rebel Red Wizard''' working to reform Thay. '''He tasked them with acquiring a Grand Sensory Stone from Sigil''', the City of Doors, casting their souls into the Astral Plane.

In the '''Astral Plane''', they helped a '''mathematician''' retrieve a variable stolen by a benign memory entity. Then, they escaped '''githyanki''' pursuers through a color pool to '''The Outlands''' -- after stealing their silver. Guided by a kind bariaur's words, they journeyed towards Sigil, encountering various planar entities (including water-sharing petitioners, imps, and a '''Rogue Modron''') and ultimately reached '''Ribcage''', the gate-town to the Nine Hells.

In Ribcage, they engaged in various intrigues: upgrading a Rogue Modron with infernal silver, binding an '''imp''' into servitude with the help of a '''slaad advocate''', aiding a falsely accused man, uncovering a '''cambion's''' scheme with a '''hag''', and participating in a Blood War skirmish. They finally found passage to '''Sigil''' beneath a bar stool.

In Sigil, they discovered '''Cedani's grandmother's''' ruined poetry shop and defeated the '''Summer Eladrin''' responsible. After recovering from near-death, they met with faction representatives and negotiated with '''Niara''', a Sensate Factotum, for a '''Grand Sensory Stone in exchange for locating Ember'''.

Their search brought them to The Velvet Harness inn, where a '''pegasus''' and '''deva''' led them to a vortex to the '''Elemental Plane of Air'''. There, they survived a harrowing fall with '''Ember''''s help, learning to navigate a realm where direction is a matter of perception. They landed in the courtyard of the '''Palace of the Winds''', a majestic djinn stronghold.

There, they agreed to help rescue a '''trapped djinn''' from the clutches of '''kobolds''', defeating the '''Avatar of Yan-C-Bin'''.

Victorious, they returned to Sigil, and acquired the '''Grand Sensory Stone''' at last. Joining factions and receiving pay from '''The Alley Reapers''', they returned to their bodies in '''The Rebel Estate'''.

Grateful, Galdren rewarded them with '''vast sums of jink''', a Weave-attuned sextant, and explained that he planned to use the stone to '''capture the memories of a deceased person''' who has information invaluable to their cause.

He bid the heroes rest, for now.

'''To:''' 7th of Tarsakh (The Claw of the Storms, April), 1372 DR

<div class="story-box">
<p class="story-title">Chapter 2: Convergence</p>
Returning from their astral journey with the '''Grand Sensory Stone''', the party awoke at '''The Rebel Estate''' to visions of '''Tharos Orakul''' warning '''Octavius''' away from Thay. '''Cedani''' departed for the Feywild, while '''Lilia Corydalis''', a starry witch seeking her missing coven sister, joined the group.

Sent to '''Urlingwood''' to cure '''Glenn's''' curse, the '''Wychlaran''' declared the barbs needed to be removed where they were cast. At the '''Monolith of Stars''', visions of fractured futures preceded a goblinoid assault. In the chaos, '''Octavius's''' latent '''planeswalker spark''' ignited, pulling them through the '''Blind Eternities''' to '''Mirrodin''' before willing them home.

Pursuing the stolen Monolith into the '''Underdark''', they uncovered drow treachery, slew the ogre assassin '''Vaergath''', and returned the relic to '''Urlingwood'''—shattering divination tools across the continent. In the '''High Country''', they freed and destroyed the demon '''Threxzadur''', then rescued '''Elowen Stonereach''' from the maw of '''Kissethkashaan''', the White Wyrm, escaping through another desperate planeswalk.

In '''Cormyr''', they infiltrated '''Phaulkon Manor''', battled '''illithid''' in '''Hullack Forest''', and finally broke '''Glenn's''' curse where '''Manshoon''' had cast it. '''Glenn''' emerged transformed, embracing both his nobility and his frog nature. '''Githyanki''' seekers arrived and were driven off; '''Kith'rak Gaath''' fled without his silver blade.

Flying east to the '''Endless Wastes''', they joined a paladin's quest for vengeance among warring '''Tuigan''' tribes. Beneath the '''Lake of Mists''', they destroyed an '''Imaskari''' altar of reanimation, collapsing its undead horde. The treacherous '''Qara Sarn's''' head became tribute to '''Hoar''', securing both tribes and the paladin order as allies.

'''Galdren''' revealed his purpose: capturing the memories of '''Navarra''', an ally slain by '''Tharos''' who knew of a weapon in the '''Fell Tower''' in a desert of '''purple sands'''. At her grave, his ritual bound her memories into the '''Grand Sensory Stone'''. He charged the heroes to carry it into the '''Outer Planes''', find her spirit, and deliver it—with '''Ember''' and her broken blue-tinted mask as their guides.

Bearing orb and mask into the '''Astral Plane''' and out through the '''Turquoise Color Pool''', they crossed a reshaped '''Outlands''' and the orchards of '''Sheela Peryroyl'''. Within sight of '''Ribcage''' they freed '''Tessavyr''', a rilmani pinned to the roadside by infernal spikes, who named a favor owed and bid them call toward the '''Spire'''.

In the city, '''Glenn's''' cheerful shout of "Green!" spoke the key to a hidden portal, dropping the party into '''Minauros''', where '''The Moss Hag''' loosed a dire troll in revenge for her ruined schemes. They shattered it, plundered her lair of thirty-three '''soul coins''', and burned her shop on their return.

'''Xarannos''' now ruled Ribcage, '''Zelza''' having been eaten by '''Bel'''. '''Unit 137's''' hellfire freed three innocent souls from the hag's coins. Passing to '''Sigil''' through the stool at '''The Bleeding Horn''', '''Diedric''' was pulled aside to stand before '''Selûne''' as the kobolds of '''The Howling Island''' reached home at last, and was named '''Favored'''. '''Ember''' sent them beneath the Cage to find the spirit-seeker '''Vistra Runehall'''.

Her trail led through '''Vos'Ultok''' to the deva '''Galenthias''', who carried them to '''Lunia''', where the pit lord '''Sulphaxus''' rose from the holy waters mortal and redeemed. At the '''Pavilion of Courage''' they learned Vistra hunts the spectre of a carpenter who betrayed a rebel to save a family he lost anyway. Through '''Khorvas's Pool''' they swam into '''Karasuthra''', the eternal midnight of the '''Beastlands''', a day and a half behind her.

== (Known) Active Plot Threads ==
''Last updated: 2026-07-30''

=== Main Quest: Seeking Navarra ===
* '''The Rebel Wizard''': Galdren Murendar, a rebel Red Wizard, seeks to undermine Thay to reform it. To this end, he has tasked the party with finding Navarra, a deceased ally. He seeks to reunite her spirit with her captured memories so he can find a way into the Fell Tower, in the Plains of Purple Dust, which is rumored to house a powerful weapon.
* '''The Spirit Seeker''': The party is currently tracking Vistra, a Spirit Seeker, in order to find Navarra's spirit. She is in Karasuthra in the Beastlands.
* '''Andren's Ledger''': Vistra is currently tracking the spirit of Andren, a man who betrayed his friend Tovaal in a failed attempt to save his family. She is on a contract from the Mercykillers.

=== Side Quests ===
* '''Hunting the Slavers''': Imzel Ulmokina, the druid that freed the party from captivity, was last heard to have been following the rest of the slave wagons, tracking them to their destination.
* '''Lake Mulsantir''': The lake south of Lirensk still suffers from Red Wizards having introduced aberrations in a past skirmish with the Rashemi.
* '''The Phaulkon-bane''': The clone of Manshoon who had assailed Glenn's keep is known to be heading for Chult, using the funds he made to hire the priests of Ubtao to transfer his soul to another body before this one fails him.
* '''Walking the Paths''': The party has learned of many paths (at least six) that can be tread to ascend the hierarchy of Mount Celestia. They need make a pledge to a representative of a Power to start their journey and may be asked to make a sacrifice. Upon walking the path, they will gain +2 to a chosen attribute.
* '''Namers and Berks''': Party members may seek to further their standing with their preferred Sigil faction, which may grant special abilities and privileges.
* '''The Monolith of Stars''': Still safe, it invites academic and divination study.
* '''The Elfmound''': Drenn, the drow wizard spared at Phaulkon Manor, spoke of a Permanency spell and other Netherese magics he found at The Elfmound.

=== Party Member Paths ===
* '''The Planeswalker''': Octavius's planeswalker spark ignited and his fastbond to lands he visits continues to increase his power, collecting fragments of planes to revisit them more easily. He seeks to write a dissertation on the extinct Batrachi race, and has a Weave-Attuned Sextant ready to deliver to a Slaad in Sigil who is interested in its study, as he feels it may draw a connection between the Batrachi race and all Slaad.
* '''A Curse Turned Boon''': Glenn embraced his frog form as his curse was cured, gaining the ability to "wield it as a shield" as his father taught him. He idly joked that he should "start collecting curses".
* '''Favored of Selune''': Blessed by the Moon Goddess for his leading of the lost, Diedric has been named Favored. This connection may continue to grow.
* '''Touched by a Telthor''': Having served as a host for the Telthor of Stars, Lilia can now conjure its constellation around her. As she continues to study stars from other planes, she may grow to understand the strange ones in the night sky above the Monolith, as they do not match that of Faerun's. She has secured access to the Grove of Stars for her coven-sisters, who may relocate once Elowen reaches them with the news.
* '''The Caltrop's Covenant''': Unit 137 continues to show more Hellish influence, including the ability to summon Happy, a tortured lemure, and sporting a pentagram inscribed on his form. In exchange for his infernal immortality, Unit 137 has incurred a debt to the hells and will need to serve them for 666 days at some point in the future.
* '''The Piked Contract''': Smokescale battles with the philosophy of being indentured to a bunch of piking level-headed bloods. Do his chains even matter anymore? His speaking circle truth was "I really want to corrupt the owl, drag him down to my level".

=== Prior Party Members ===
* '''The Star of the Climbing Warrior''': Uchu Buredo, in company of Cedani, continues to seek a way to his home world of Tsunadehoshi. His lead is that a "Vine-Warrior" was spotted in The Velvet Harness by the pegasus Kai. (God the DM did a lot of worldbuilding for this shit.) He also seeks revenge on Vex'riath, the githyanki creche leader of Zar'kash's Forge, who also escaped and survived as that spelljammer ship was destroyed by Uchu's psionic awakening.
* '''Smoke on the Water''': Cedani, having received an urgent message from Soveliss, sought to rescue him from peril. He had been on the way to Evermeet to seek Tharos's true name and had asked of Cedani for a delivery of a scale from a white abishai before being captured by unknown assailants. Diedric (during a session he missed) assisted them, rescuing him from a Troll's cookpot by trading a useless bauble. Cedani and Uchu then proceeded to the Feywild, where her patron had called for a meeting of the seasons in response to her poetry shop being burned down by the summer eladrin Aula. Octavius had subsequently seen visions of Cedani and Uchu in Minauros, being surrounded by hags and the corpses of dead eladrin of various seasons. Uchu's eyes turned red.
* '''The Pursued and Pursuer''': Chai evades cultists pursuing her for her Changeling heritage. She accompanies Cove to the Sea of Fallen Stars, where she seeks to find the prison island that she escaped as a child.

=== Pending ===
* '''The High Diviner''': Tharos Orakul, deprived of the Monolith, continues to suffer from a wasting disease. In desperation, he has met with the Githyanki.
* '''The Foreseen Assault''' Octavius foresaw an attack on the monolith by Kissethkashaan, likely in the month of Flamerule (two months after Mirtul). The vision showed one faerzress crystal already shattered, two wychlaran triplets freezing and shattering, and the Monolith cracking with a yellow light emanating from the crack, hinting at something within. This was shared with Galdren, who said he'd warn the Rashemi, so they should be forewarned.
* '''Hilt's Reward''': In thanks for the party's aid in getting Xarannos to represent him in his accusation against Zelza, he told them that Fredd, a proprietor of The Shaved Coin in The Below, keeps a chest of rubies that they both gathered by using a portal to a mineral-rich pocket of the Elemental Plane of Earth. This portal lies below the fighting pits and the key is blood, so it's usually open. Hilt is also a senator of Ribcage now.
* '''A Wedding on the Wind''': The party will be invited to Ember and Zekir al-Suhail's wedding. They'll hear his voice in the wind. A greater boon was promised. This will be in two years during his coronation.
* '''The Writer''': Atrus, an author of Ages, seeks to write a linking book to a location that can cure any ailment, including Glenn's. This may take him until the month of Kythorn. He had granted the party a linking book labeled "Myst", which they could use to visit him. The tram code is half of the clocktower's set time.
* '''The Bewildered Horse''': Barnaby, the awakened horse, was not at the Velvet Harness the last two visits. Barnaby will return.
* '''The Nyaning Leonin''': Rescued from certain doom on Mirrodin, Shadespine has run off to the Rashemi Berserker Lodge to join them.
* '''The Coven and the Monolith''' Lilia's coven will soon make way for the Grove of Stars to study it and the Monolith. They owe Lilia for this opportunity, and for rescuing Elowen.
* '''The Swordmaster's Road''' Cyrus, Glenn's swordmaster, will likely have been teleported to the War Wizards of Cormyr by Galdren's teleportation circle. He'll make way to Glenn's old keep to see it restored.

=== Visions ===
* ''(Averted)'' '''The Diviner's Prize''': Tharos Orakul's eyes staring at Octavius as he touches the Monolith inside of a grand tower. This diversion shattered divination implements across Faerun.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Convergence of Seasons''': Cedani and three other eladrin — Summer, Spring, and Autumn — navigating a bog as dark shapes surround them.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Blue Fire Falls''': Blue fire crisscrossing the sky, lines burning as Faerûn screams.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Moon in His Arm''': Diedric wielding Selûne in his left arm.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Elder Shadow''': A colossal brain hovering over a city on the Sword Coast, many tendrils hanging down.
* ''(Unlikely Future)'' '''The Psion's Crown''': Uchu, resolute, placing a silver helmet with silver cables attached — as neon explosions appear behind him.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Skycleaver''': A colossal axe parting the clouds.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Crown of Daggers''': Unit 137 wearing a crown of daggers as a legion of devils cheer.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Melting Wings''': Devil wings melting in water.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Frog and the Falcon''': A frog riding a falcon over foggy green hills.
* ''(Happened — planeswalker spark ignition)'' '''The Fire Within''': A flame burning Octavius from within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Obelisk Laid Low''': The obelisk lying on its side in the sunlight.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Parting of Stars''': Lilia throwing her arms to the side, stars following her command and splitting the sky in twain.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Gauntlet of Golden Nails''': Diedric struggling to breathe as a hand bearing a strange gauntlet -- five rings, joined by golden chains, terminating in a golden nail on each finger -- lifted him up.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Marching Dead''': Undead shuffling in great masses, Thaymount erupting in the background.
* ''(Happened)'' '''Ten Seconds From Now''': An ogre crashing through the trees, charging at Octavius as he turns from facing the Monolith… ten seconds from now.
* ''(Future)'' '''Winter Comes to the Grove''': The Grove of Stars. Kissethkashaan, enraged, breathes a cone of cold in a sweeping pass. One of the faerzress crystals is already shattered. Two wychlaran triplets shatter to ice. The Monolith of Stars begins to crack under the cold — and a yellow light emanates from a large crack, implying something within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Red Rage''': Uchu and Cedani stand back-to-back in a bog beneath a dark fey sky as three hags approach from all sides. Dead eladrin of various seasons are scattered around them, sinking. Uchu looks to Cedani, who nods grimly. His glowing blue eyes and blue daggers turn red and he begins howling in a berserker rage.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Lich-Queen's Audience''': Hovering in the Astral Plane: a bald Red Wizard, Tharos Orakul, bowing and coughing blood as a colossal undead githyanki woman sits on a throne, examining her hand, projecting boredom while failing to conceal a glint in her eye. She notices Octavius before the vision fades.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Chorus of Stones''': B'ian Ch'k Ch'k kneels shirtless inside of a low wagon as dozens of sending stones begin vibrating all at once, voices whispering and shouting in various languages. He turns as he hears screaming outside.

=== B'ian Fact Facts ===
* In 1368 DR, B'ian Ch'k Ch'k hid ''inside'' a Candlekeep bookshelf during the doppelganger purge in the wake of the Bhaalspawn.
* In 1370 DR, B'ian Ch'k Ch'k was gifted a traveling wagon by the halfling nation of Luiren for his assistance in averting a flooding crisis. It was engineered by a halfling knight of Gond.

=== Consequences ===
* '''The Mirth of the Ironjaws''': With Hulmarra Ironjaw's death, and the burning of Ironjaw's Mirth, her surviving 11 sisters are likely to have heard of the events by now.
* '''The Charmed Guard:''' Thenn, the Thayan guard charmed during the escape from the Red Wizard wagons, was taken as prisoner by Imzel. He now lives as a servant to a woman in the Grove of Stars that is foreseen to be his wife. It's an awkward relationship.
* '''The Grand Concordance''': Aristeus, a mathematician culturally spending his last days in the Astral Plane, was aided by the party who recovered a variable for him from a memory entity. His allowed him to complete a masterwork that describes the Four Compulsions and the Veil. It seems of important scientific and philosophical importance.
* '''The Silver Skiff''': Vlaakith grows irked by the unanswered theft, three fireballed githyanki, a lost apprentice, the loss of Gaath's ambush team, with one of the apprentices banished and being specifically told to "Tell Vlaakith to leave us alone!". Octavius's vision of an ill Tharos Orakul groveling before her may be of greater import however.
* '''The Lost Githyanki''': Viran, apprentice of Kith'rak Gaath, was led astray by the Alley Reapers in his pursuit of the party and is likely imprisoned in the plane of Carceri.
* '''The Doomed Noble:''' The sickly noble on a balcony in Ribcage is probably super, super dead by now. He's been replaced by a younger noble, flanked by the same red and green cambion ladies.
* '''A Hag Remembers''': The Moss Hag's scheme to secure souls with Luciel foiled, she set a trap whilst Luciel fled the city.
* '''The Alley Reapers:''' They believe Cedani is an agent for a person named Boppel, the "high-up man". They were paying her a cut of their take in the Hive Ward. While she's no longer with the party, they will consider them associates.
* '''Yan-C-in-the-Bin''': Yan-C-Bin will not soon forget the defeat of his avatar at the hands of interlopers from the Prime Material Plane.
* '''The Djinn Prince''': Rescued from a sacrifial rite, the Prince gifted the party a Carpet of Flying and promised great gifts on his wedding day.
* '''The Kobold Pilgrimage''': Spared by Diedric, kobolds worshipping Yan-C-Bin fled back to their tempestuous homeworld, now guided by a familiar moon goddess.
* '''The Telthor of Stars''': Diviners clashed and Tharos was robbed of his fate of securing the Monolith of Stars via a route in the Underdark. The Telthor still lives within, watching over the Rashemi as their tribes unite to select a new Iron Lord. Grimsnarl, an awakened wolf, invited the party's voices in selecting the next Iron Lord as the lodges gather. His own pick: "a simpleton, but his dajemma is legendary -- he travels still with the child of Bhaal on the Sword Coast."
* '''The Drow Wizardress''': Murdered by Octavius, Aunrae Drezz'Lynur was freelancing while under the guise of serving Matron Zorratha. In reality, she was playing Tharos and the duergar against each other. Matron Zorratha wonders what came of the Monolith.
* '''The Unpaid Duergar''': Expecting a payment for pick-up and delivery of the Monolith of Stars, the duergar just found an empty battleground and their gold missing.
* '''The Breaking of Threxzadur''': Octavius willingly drank of a trapped tanar'ri's power, freeing it and then defeating it. It will be reborn in the Abyss.
* '''Eight-legged Freedom''': Freed from their bonds, the goblin's infant ice spiders traveled north, to the icy mountain from which their eggs were stolen.
* '''Vix's Crown''': Sneaking through a sprawling goblin country, the party helped Vix the white kobold steal a Tuigan Helm of Command from the goblin leader.
* '''The Surviving Crossbowman''': Erik the eye-patched crossbowman was rescued from freezing to death by the party. He has foresworn adventuring and claims to be retiring.
* '''The Blood Sorceress''': Qualm and the rest of the dragon slaying party perished in Kissethkashaan's lair. The party happily looted them.
* '''The Rescued Coven-sister''': Elowen Stonereach, an offering of blood to the white dragon by the Nanraak Goblins, was rescued and whisked away. She makes way to the Dalelands to meet with her coven, who will likely travel to The Monolith of Stars to study it.
* '''The White Wyrm's Due''': Angered by the previous dragonslaying party's attempt on his life and another party escaping with his tribute, Kissethkashaan plots his revenge, remembering that one of the members of the first group was of Rashemi descent.
* '''The Piked Halfling''': Finn Fatfoot was charmed into giving up his dreamsilk and giving up Zhentarim secrets. He is on the run from authorities.
* '''The Cleansing of Hullack Forest''': A mindflayer cell, which had fled something in the Underdark, was eliminated by the party. Glenn (with the help of Shrieker) also drove the Zhentarim from his family's keep and had his curse removed. Drenn, the drow wizard in charge of this Zhentarim compound, gave the party information as to Manshoon's plans in Chuult in exchange for his life.
* '''Shrieker''': Glenn's father's Ranger General of his armies continues to patrol the region around Thunderstone, bringing justice to those that the Purple Dragon Knights cannot. Her shrieks in the night bring comfort to children and woe to brigrands. A Tuigan woman mentioned seeing her on the battlefield when Cormyr fought in an alliance against the Tuigan horde, referring to her as Glenn's father's "paramour" who saved him from an ambush. She can be summoned by lighting two pyres on the northern towers near the bridge to Hullack Forest.
* '''The Silver Blade''': Kith'rak Gaath had his entire githyanki strike force ambushed the party but were defeated. Gaath retreated, but had to leave his sword behind.
* '''Blessed Grains''': Lilia blessed the fields of the Tuigan people in an extended ritual, ensuring a bountiful harvest.
* '''The Imaskari Altar''': The party fought through sahuagin priests and destroyed an ancient Imaskari Altar that could animate undead thanks to a link to the Plane of Negative Energy.
* '''Peace on the Endless Wastes''': Peace was brokered between the Fankiang Traditionalists and Hubadai Loyalists, with the Fankiang receiving a seven year deal where they would patrol and tax the Golden Way. The Fankiang agreed to assist with Thay, and the Hubadai representative said he would bring it before their leader in Kourmira.
* '''The Justice of Hoar''': The head of Qara Sarn, a Fankiang member who attempted to leave Khan Borcha to her death, was served to Hoar as recompense for the slaying of one of his paladins. He accepted with three thunderstrikes, and Lureene Amblecrown assured that they had secured the Hoar Order's aid against Thay.
* '''Ribcage, Under New Management''': Uncovering Zelza's scheme to plunge Ribcage into the Nine Hells, Xarannos was installed as interim Duke of Ribcage. Zelza was consumed by Bel.
* '''The Third Hell's Door''': A portal to the third layer of the Nine Hells is now publicly known and guarded in the Beetle Bazaar. It's near a woman's burned-down shop. Don't say your favorite color.
* '''A Hag Still Remembers''': The Moss Hag swam through the mire of Minauros, fleeing as the party survived her trap, stole her soul coins, and even freed her Catoblepas. She may yet seek revenge or move on to safer prey.
* '''Tessavyr's Debt''': A rilmani, pinned to the earth by infernal spikes placed by a circle of succubi working for Zelza, thanked the party for its freedom, stating that they just need call its name toward the Spire should they ever need aid.

=== Curiosities ===
* '''The Unpowered Golem''': This still sits abandoned in the flooded depths of the Imaskari Tomb. The party also looted an Anti-Divinity Orb from the same location.
* '''The Unnamed Scholar''': The party looted the body of a female ghoul scholar with a bronze circlet, stuffing her into their Bag of Holding for later Speak-with-Dead questioning. They then proceeded to forget about it.
* '''The Bronze Rib''': A Bronze Rib in Minauros proves to be a foil to teleportation magic, although it did not look easy to move.
* '''Aunrae's Spellbook''': Aside from the Teleportation Circle spell, the dead drow's spellbook also had a loose sheet of sigils for all ten Undrek'Thoz drow-city states and the duergar city of Fraaszummdin.
* '''The Ring''': Galdren asked Diedric if Azhar, Diedric's adopted father and financier of his estate, still bore a ring with gemstones, and how many there were. Diedric confirmed there were two rubies with one inset blank. Galdren looked relieved.
* '''The Time-Skip Doppelganger''': Investigating a darkness at the heart of Thay, Galden and Navarra traced it to a doppelganger impersonating an Aglarond noble, and mid-interrogation they experienced a skip in time (candles instantly burned low) and the doppelganger was disintegrated to ash.
* '''The Interventionist Deva''': Zariel seemed like the crankiest out of the bunch at the Pavilion of Courage.

== The Story So Far ==

<div class="story-book">
<div class="story-box">
<p class="story-title">Chapter 1: Memory</p>
A group of diverse adventurers, each on their own path, found themselves at '''Ironjaw's Mirth''' on the Thay-Rashemen border. Their chance meeting was interrupted by the '''Red Wizards of Thay''', led by Vezim Sepret, who '''captured everyone''' in retaliation for losses at the Grove of Stars.

Now mired in the conflict between Thay and Rashemen and en route to a slave camp, '''the party escaped''' with aid from '''Imzel Ulmokina''', a Wychlaran druid. A letter on Vezim revealed orders from '''Tharos Orakul, High Diviner of Surthay''', to slay '''"the owl"''' and capture '''"the amphibian"''' for study.

Imzel directed them to Lirensk to meet '''Galdren Murendar''', an ally against the Red Wizards. After a perilous journey across Lake Mulsantir, where they battled quippergulls and a Gelatinous Cube, they met Galdren, '''a rebel Red Wizard''' working to reform Thay. '''He tasked them with acquiring a Grand Sensory Stone from Sigil''', the City of Doors, casting their souls into the Astral Plane.

In the '''Astral Plane''', they helped a '''mathematician''' retrieve a variable stolen by a benign memory entity. Then, they escaped '''githyanki''' pursuers through a color pool to '''The Outlands''' -- after stealing their silver. Guided by a kind bariaur's words, they journeyed towards Sigil, encountering various planar entities (including water-sharing petitioners, imps, and a '''Rogue Modron''') and ultimately reached '''Ribcage''', the gate-town to the Nine Hells.

In Ribcage, they engaged in various intrigues: upgrading a Rogue Modron with infernal silver, binding an '''imp''' into servitude with the help of a '''slaad advocate''', aiding a falsely accused man, uncovering a '''cambion's''' scheme with a '''hag''', and participating in a Blood War skirmish. They finally found passage to '''Sigil''' beneath a bar stool.

In Sigil, they discovered '''Cedani's grandmother's''' ruined poetry shop and defeated the '''Summer Eladrin''' responsible. After recovering from near-death, they met with faction representatives and negotiated with '''Niara''', a Sensate Factotum, for a '''Grand Sensory Stone in exchange for locating Ember'''.

Their search brought them to The Velvet Harness inn, where a '''pegasus''' and '''deva''' led them to a vortex to the '''Elemental Plane of Air'''. There, they survived a harrowing fall with '''Ember''''s help, learning to navigate a realm where direction is a matter of perception. They landed in the courtyard of the '''Palace of the Winds''', a majestic djinn stronghold.

There, they agreed to help rescue a '''trapped djinn''' from the clutches of '''kobolds''', defeating the '''Avatar of Yan-C-Bin'''.

Victorious, they returned to Sigil, and acquired the '''Grand Sensory Stone''' at last. Joining factions and receiving pay from '''The Alley Reapers''', they returned to their bodies in '''The Rebel Estate'''.

Grateful, Galdren rewarded them with '''vast sums of jink''', a Weave-attuned sextant, and explained that he planned to use the stone to '''capture the memories of a deceased person''' who has information invaluable to their cause.

He bid the heroes rest, for now.

'''To:''' 7th of Tarsakh (The Claw of the Storms, April), 1372 DR

<div class="story-box">
<p class="story-title">Chapter 2: Convergence</p>
Returning from their astral journey with the '''Grand Sensory Stone''', the party awoke at '''The Rebel Estate''' to visions of '''Tharos Orakul''' warning '''Octavius''' away from Thay. '''Cedani''' departed for the Feywild, while '''Lilia Corydalis''', a starry witch seeking her missing coven sister, joined the group.

Sent to '''Urlingwood''' to cure '''Glenn's''' curse, the '''Wychlaran''' declared the barbs needed to be removed where they were cast. At the '''Monolith of Stars''', visions of fractured futures preceded a goblinoid assault. In the chaos, '''Octavius's''' latent '''planeswalker spark''' ignited, pulling them through the '''Blind Eternities''' to '''Mirrodin''' before willing them home.

Pursuing the stolen Monolith into the '''Underdark''', they uncovered drow treachery, slew the ogre assassin '''Vaergath''', and returned the relic to '''Urlingwood'''—shattering divination tools across the continent. In the '''High Country''', they freed and destroyed the demon '''Threxzadur''', then rescued '''Elowen Stonereach''' from the maw of '''Kissethkashaan''', the White Wyrm, escaping through another desperate planeswalk.

In '''Cormyr''', they infiltrated '''Phaulkon Manor''', battled '''illithid''' in '''Hullack Forest''', and finally broke '''Glenn's''' curse where '''Manshoon''' had cast it. '''Glenn''' emerged transformed, embracing both his nobility and his frog nature. '''Githyanki''' seekers arrived and were driven off; '''Kith'rak Gaath''' fled without his silver blade.

Flying east to the '''Endless Wastes''', they joined a paladin's quest for vengeance among warring '''Tuigan''' tribes. Beneath the '''Lake of Mists''', they destroyed an '''Imaskari''' altar of reanimation, collapsing its undead horde. The treacherous '''Qara Sarn's''' head became tribute to '''Hoar''', securing both tribes and the paladin order as allies.

'''Galdren''' revealed his purpose: capturing the memories of '''Navarra''', an ally slain by '''Tharos''' who knew of a weapon in the '''Fell Tower''' in a desert of '''purple sands'''. At her grave, his ritual bound her memories into the '''Grand Sensory Stone'''. He charged the heroes to carry it into the '''Outer Planes''', find her spirit, and deliver it—with '''Ember''' and her broken blue-tinted mask as their guides.

Bearing orb and mask into the '''Astral Plane''' and out through the '''Turquoise Color Pool''', they crossed a reshaped '''Outlands''' and the orchards of '''Sheela Peryroyl'''. Within sight of '''Ribcage''' they freed '''Tessavyr''', a rilmani pinned to the roadside by infernal spikes, who named a favor owed and bid them call toward the '''Spire'''.

In the city, '''Glenn's''' cheerful shout of "Green!" spoke the key to a hidden portal, dropping the party into '''Minauros''', where '''The Moss Hag''' loosed a dire troll in revenge for her ruined schemes. They shattered it, plundered her lair of thirty-three '''soul coins''', and burned her shop on their return.

'''Xarannos''' now ruled Ribcage, '''Zelza''' having been eaten by '''Bel'''. '''Unit 137's''' hellfire freed three innocent souls from the hag's coins. Passing to '''Sigil''' through the stool at '''The Bleeding Horn''', '''Diedric''' was pulled aside to stand before '''Selûne''' as the kobolds of '''The Howling Island''' reached home at last, and was named '''Favored'''. '''Ember''' sent them beneath the Cage to find the spirit-seeker '''Vistra Runehall'''.

Her trail led through '''Vos'Ultok''' to the deva '''Galenthias''', who carried them to '''Lunia''', where the pit lord '''Sulphaxus''' rose from the holy waters mortal and redeemed. At the '''Pavilion of Courage''' they learned Vistra hunts the spectre of a carpenter who betrayed a rebel to save a family he lost anyway. Through '''Khorvas's Pool''' they swam into '''Karasuthra''', the eternal midnight of the '''Beastlands''', a day and a half behind her.

== (Known) Active Plot Threads ==
''Last updated: 2026-07-30''

=== Main Quest: Seeking Navarra ===
* '''The Rebel Wizard''': Galdren Murendar, a rebel Red Wizard, seeks to undermine Thay to reform it. To this end, he has tasked the party with finding Navarra, a deceased ally. He seeks to reunite her spirit with her captured memories so he can find a way into the Fell Tower, in the Plains of Purple Dust, which is rumored to house a powerful weapon.
* '''The Spirit Seeker''': The party is currently tracking Vistra, a Spirit Seeker, in order to find Navarra's spirit. She is in Karasuthra in the Beastlands.
* '''Andren's Ledger''': Vistra is currently tracking the spirit of Andren, a man who betrayed his friend Tovaal in a failed attempt to save his family. She is on a contract from the Mercykillers.

=== Side Quests ===
* '''Hunting the Slavers''': Imzel Ulmokina, the druid that freed the party from captivity, was last heard to have been following the rest of the slave wagons, tracking them to their destination.
* '''Lake Mulsantir''': The lake south of Lirensk still suffers from Red Wizards having introduced aberrations in a past skirmish with the Rashemi.
* '''The Phaulkon-bane''': The clone of Manshoon who had assailed Glenn's keep is known to be heading for Chult, using the funds he made to hire the priests of Ubtao to transfer his soul to another body before this one fails him.
* '''Walking the Paths''': The party has learned of many paths (at least six) that can be tread to ascend the hierarchy of Mount Celestia. They need make a pledge to a representative of a Power to start their journey and may be asked to make a sacrifice. Upon walking the path, they will gain +2 to a chosen attribute.
* '''Namers and Berks''': Party members may seek to further their standing with their preferred Sigil faction, which may grant special abilities and privileges.
* '''The Monolith of Stars''': Still safe, it invites academic and divination study.
* '''The Elfmound''': Drenn, the drow wizard spared at Phaulkon Manor, spoke of a Permanency spell and other Netherese magics he found at The Elfmound.

=== Party Member Paths ===
* '''The Planeswalker''': Octavius's planeswalker spark ignited and his fastbond to lands he visits continues to increase his power, collecting fragments of planes to revisit them more easily. He seeks to write a dissertation on the extinct Batrachi race, and has a Weave-Attuned Sextant ready to deliver to a Slaad in Sigil who is interested in its study, as he feels it may draw a connection between the Batrachi race and all Slaad.
* '''A Curse Turned Boon''': Glenn embraced his frog form as his curse was cured, gaining the ability to "wield it as a shield" as his father taught him. He idly joked that he should "start collecting curses".
* '''Favored of Selune''': Blessed by the Moon Goddess for his leading of the lost, Diedric has been named Favored. This connection may continue to grow.
* '''Touched by a Telthor''': Having served as a host for the Telthor of Stars, Lilia can now conjure its constellation around her. As she continues to study stars from other planes, she may grow to understand the strange ones in the night sky above the Monolith, as they do not match that of Faerun's. She has secured access to the Grove of Stars for her coven-sisters, who may relocate once Elowen reaches them with the news.
* '''The Caltrop's Covenant''': Unit 137 continues to show more Hellish influence, including the ability to summon Happy, a tortured lemure, and sporting a pentagram inscribed on his form. In exchange for his infernal immortality, Unit 137 has incurred a debt to the hells and will need to serve them for 666 days at some point in the future.
* '''The Piked Contract''': Smokescale battles with the philosophy of being indentured to a bunch of piking level-headed bloods. Do his chains even matter anymore? His speaking circle truth was "I really want to corrupt the owl, drag him down to my level".

=== Prior Party Members ===
* '''The Star of the Climbing Warrior''': Uchu Buredo, in company of Cedani, continues to seek a way to his home world of Tsunadehoshi. His lead is that a "Vine-Warrior" was spotted in The Velvet Harness by the pegasus Kai. (God the DM did a lot of worldbuilding for this shit.) He also seeks revenge on Vex'riath, the githyanki creche leader of Zar'kash's Forge, who also escaped and survived as that spelljammer ship was destroyed by Uchu's psionic awakening.
* '''Smoke on the Water''': Cedani, having received an urgent message from Soveliss, sought to rescue him from peril. He had been on the way to Evermeet to seek Tharos's true name and had asked of Cedani for a delivery of a scale from a white abishai before being captured by unknown assailants. Diedric (during a session he missed) assisted them, rescuing him from a Troll's cookpot by trading a useless bauble. Cedani and Uchu then proceeded to the Feywild, where her patron had called for a meeting of the seasons in response to her poetry shop being burned down by the summer eladrin Aula. Octavius had subsequently seen visions of Cedani and Uchu in Minauros, being surrounded by hags and the corpses of dead eladrin of various seasons. Uchu's eyes turned red.
* '''The Pursued and Pursuer''': Chai evades cultists pursuing her for her Changeling heritage. She accompanies Cove to the Sea of Fallen Stars, where she seeks to find the prison island that she escaped as a child.

=== Pending ===
* '''The High Diviner''': Tharos Orakul, deprived of the Monolith, continues to suffer from a wasting disease. In desperation, he has met with the Githyanki.
* '''The Foreseen Assault''' Octavius foresaw an attack on the monolith by Kissethkashaan, likely in the month of Flamerule (two months after Mirtul). The vision showed one faerzress crystal already shattered, two wychlaran triplets freezing and shattering, and the Monolith cracking with a yellow light emanating from the crack, hinting at something within. This was shared with Galdren, who said he'd warn the Rashemi, so they should be forewarned.
* '''Hilt's Reward''': In thanks for the party's aid in getting Xarannos to represent him in his accusation against Zelza, he told them that Fredd, a proprietor of The Shaved Coin in The Below, keeps a chest of rubies that they both gathered by using a portal to a mineral-rich pocket of the Elemental Plane of Earth. This portal lies below the fighting pits and the key is blood, so it's usually open. Hilt is also a senator of Ribcage now.
* '''A Wedding on the Wind''': The party will be invited to Ember and Zekir al-Suhail's wedding. They'll hear his voice in the wind. A greater boon was promised. This will be in two years during his coronation.
* '''The Writer''': Atrus, an author of Ages, seeks to write a linking book to a location that can cure any ailment, including Glenn's. This may take him until the month of Kythorn. He had granted the party a linking book labeled "Myst", which they could use to visit him. The tram code is half of the clocktower's set time.
* '''The Bewildered Horse''': Barnaby, the awakened horse, was not at the Velvet Harness the last two visits. Barnaby will return.
* '''The Nyaning Leonin''': Rescued from certain doom on Mirrodin, Shadespine has run off to the Rashemi Berserker Lodge to join them.
* '''The Coven and the Monolith''' Lilia's coven will soon make way for the Grove of Stars to study it and the Monolith. They owe Lilia for this opportunity, and for rescuing Elowen.
* '''The Swordmaster's Road''' Cyrus, Glenn's swordmaster, will likely have been teleported to the War Wizards of Cormyr by Galdren's teleportation circle. He'll make way to Glenn's old keep to see it restored.

=== Visions ===
* ''(Averted)'' '''The Diviner's Prize''': Tharos Orakul's eyes staring at Octavius as he touches the Monolith inside of a grand tower. This diversion shattered divination implements across Faerun.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Convergence of Seasons''': Cedani and three other eladrin — Summer, Spring, and Autumn — navigating a bog as dark shapes surround them.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Blue Fire Falls''': Blue fire crisscrossing the sky, lines burning as Faerûn screams.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Moon in His Arm''': Diedric wielding Selûne in his left arm.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Elder Shadow''': A colossal brain hovering over a city on the Sword Coast, many tendrils hanging down.
* ''(Unlikely Future)'' '''The Psion's Crown''': Uchu, resolute, placing a silver helmet with silver cables attached — as neon explosions appear behind him.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Skycleaver''': A colossal axe parting the clouds.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Crown of Daggers''': Unit 137 wearing a crown of daggers as a legion of devils cheer.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Melting Wings''': Devil wings melting in water.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Frog and the Falcon''': A frog riding a falcon over foggy green hills.
* ''(Happened — planeswalker spark ignition)'' '''The Fire Within''': A flame burning Octavius from within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Obelisk Laid Low''': The obelisk lying on its side in the sunlight.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Parting of Stars''': Lilia throwing her arms to the side, stars following her command and splitting the sky in twain.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Gauntlet of Golden Nails''': Diedric struggling to breathe as a hand bearing a strange gauntlet -- five rings, joined by golden chains, terminating in a golden nail on each finger -- lifted him up.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Marching Dead''': Undead shuffling in great masses, Thaymount erupting in the background.
* ''(Happened)'' '''Ten Seconds From Now''': An ogre crashing through the trees, charging at Octavius as he turns from facing the Monolith… ten seconds from now.
* ''(Future)'' '''Winter Comes to the Grove''': The Grove of Stars. Kissethkashaan, enraged, breathes a cone of cold in a sweeping pass. One of the faerzress crystals is already shattered. Two wychlaran triplets shatter to ice. The Monolith of Stars begins to crack under the cold — and a yellow light emanates from a large crack, implying something within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Red Rage''': Uchu and Cedani stand back-to-back in a bog beneath a dark fey sky as three hags approach from all sides. Dead eladrin of various seasons are scattered around them, sinking. Uchu looks to Cedani, who nods grimly. His glowing blue eyes and blue daggers turn red and he begins howling in a berserker rage.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Lich-Queen's Audience''': Hovering in the Astral Plane: a bald Red Wizard, Tharos Orakul, bowing and coughing blood as a colossal undead githyanki woman sits on a throne, examining her hand, projecting boredom while failing to conceal a glint in her eye. She notices Octavius before the vision fades.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Chorus of Stones''': B'ian Ch'k Ch'k kneels shirtless inside of a low wagon as dozens of sending stones begin vibrating all at once, voices whispering and shouting in various languages. He turns as he hears screaming outside.

=== B'ian Fact Facts ===
* In 1368 DR, B'ian Ch'k Ch'k hid ''inside'' a Candlekeep bookshelf during the doppelganger purge in the wake of the Bhaalspawn.
* In 1370 DR, B'ian Ch'k Ch'k was gifted a traveling wagon by the halfling nation of Luiren for his assistance in averting a flooding crisis. It was engineered by a halfling knight of Gond.

=== Consequences ===
* '''The Mirth of the Ironjaws''': With Hulmarra Ironjaw's death, and the burning of Ironjaw's Mirth, her surviving 11 sisters are likely to have heard of the events by now.
* '''The Charmed Guard:''' Thenn, the Thayan guard charmed during the escape from the Red Wizard wagons, was taken as prisoner by Imzel. He now lives as a servant to a woman in the Grove of Stars that is foreseen to be his wife. It's an awkward relationship.
* '''The Grand Concordance''': Aristeus, a mathematician culturally spending his last days in the Astral Plane, was aided by the party who recovered a variable for him from a memory entity. His allowed him to complete a masterwork that describes the Four Compulsions and the Veil. It seems of important scientific and philosophical importance.
* '''The Silver Skiff''': Vlaakith grows irked by the unanswered theft, three fireballed githyanki, a lost apprentice, the loss of Gaath's ambush team, with one of the apprentices banished and being specifically told to "Tell Vlaakith to leave us alone!". Octavius's vision of an ill Tharos Orakul groveling before her may be of greater import however.
* '''The Lost Githyanki''': Viran, apprentice of Kith'rak Gaath, was led astray by the Alley Reapers in his pursuit of the party and is likely imprisoned in the plane of Carceri.
* '''The Doomed Noble:''' The sickly noble on a balcony in Ribcage is probably super, super dead by now. He's been replaced by a younger noble, flanked by the same red and green cambion ladies.
* '''A Hag Remembers''': The Moss Hag's scheme to secure souls with Luciel foiled, she set a trap whilst Luciel fled the city.
* '''The Alley Reapers:''' They believe Cedani is an agent for a person named Boppel, the "high-up man". They were paying her a cut of their take in the Hive Ward. While she's no longer with the party, they will consider them associates.
* '''Yan-C-in-the-Bin''': Yan-C-Bin will not soon forget the defeat of his avatar at the hands of interlopers from the Prime Material Plane.
* '''The Djinn Prince''': Rescued from a sacrifial rite, the Prince gifted the party a Carpet of Flying and promised great gifts on his wedding day.
* '''The Kobold Pilgrimage''': Spared by Diedric, kobolds worshipping Yan-C-Bin fled back to their tempestuous homeworld, now guided by a familiar moon goddess.
* '''The Telthor of Stars''': Diviners clashed and Tharos was robbed of his fate of securing the Monolith of Stars via a route in the Underdark. The Telthor still lives within, watching over the Rashemi as their tribes unite to select a new Iron Lord. Grimsnarl, an awakened wolf, invited the party's voices in selecting the next Iron Lord as the lodges gather. His own pick: "a simpleton, but his dajemma is legendary -- he travels still with the child of Bhaal on the Sword Coast."
* '''The Drow Wizardress''': Murdered by Octavius, Aunrae Drezz'Lynur was freelancing while under the guise of serving Matron Zorratha. In reality, she was playing Tharos and the duergar against each other. Matron Zorratha wonders what came of the Monolith.
* '''The Unpaid Duergar''': Expecting a payment for pick-up and delivery of the Monolith of Stars, the duergar just found an empty battleground and their gold missing.
* '''The Breaking of Threxzadur''': Octavius willingly drank of a trapped tanar'ri's power, freeing it and then defeating it. It will be reborn in the Abyss.
* '''Eight-legged Freedom''': Freed from their bonds, the goblin's infant ice spiders traveled north, to the icy mountain from which their eggs were stolen.
* '''Vix's Crown''': Sneaking through a sprawling goblin country, the party helped Vix the white kobold steal a Tuigan Helm of Command from the goblin leader.
* '''The Surviving Crossbowman''': Erik the eye-patched crossbowman was rescued from freezing to death by the party. He has foresworn adventuring and claims to be retiring.
* '''The Blood Sorceress''': Qualm and the rest of the dragon slaying party perished in Kissethkashaan's lair. The party happily looted them.
* '''The Rescued Coven-sister''': Elowen Stonereach, an offering of blood to the white dragon by the Nanraak Goblins, was rescued and whisked away. She makes way to the Dalelands to meet with her coven, who will likely travel to The Monolith of Stars to study it.
* '''The White Wyrm's Due''': Angered by the previous dragonslaying party's attempt on his life and another party escaping with his tribute, Kissethkashaan plots his revenge, remembering that one of the members of the first group was of Rashemi descent.
* '''The Piked Halfling''': Finn Fatfoot was charmed into giving up his dreamsilk and giving up Zhentarim secrets. He is on the run from authorities.
* '''The Cleansing of Hullack Forest''': A mindflayer cell, which had fled something in the Underdark, was eliminated by the party. Glenn (with the help of Shrieker) also drove the Zhentarim from his family's keep and had his curse removed. Drenn, the drow wizard in charge of this Zhentarim compound, gave the party information as to Manshoon's plans in Chuult in exchange for his life.
* '''Shrieker''': Glenn's father's Ranger General of his armies continues to patrol the region around Thunderstone, bringing justice to those that the Purple Dragon Knights cannot. Her shrieks in the night bring comfort to children and woe to brigrands. A Tuigan woman mentioned seeing her on the battlefield when Cormyr fought in an alliance against the Tuigan horde, referring to her as Glenn's father's "paramour" who saved him from an ambush. She can be summoned by lighting two pyres on the northern towers near the bridge to Hullack Forest.
* '''The Silver Blade''': Kith'rak Gaath had his entire githyanki strike force ambushed the party but were defeated. Gaath retreated, but had to leave his sword behind.
* '''Blessed Grains''': Lilia blessed the fields of the Tuigan people in an extended ritual, ensuring a bountiful harvest.
* '''The Imaskari Altar''': The party fought through sahuagin priests and destroyed an ancient Imaskari Altar that could animate undead thanks to a link to the Plane of Negative Energy.
* '''Peace on the Endless Wastes''': Peace was brokered between the Fankiang Traditionalists and Hubadai Loyalists, with the Fankiang receiving a seven year deal where they would patrol and tax the Golden Way. The Fankiang agreed to assist with Thay, and the Hubadai representative said he would bring it before their leader in Kourmira.
* '''The Justice of Hoar''': The head of Qara Sarn, a Fankiang member who attempted to leave Khan Borcha to her death, was served to Hoar as recompense for the slaying of one of his paladins. He accepted with three thunderstrikes, and Lureene Amblecrown assured that they had secured the Hoar Order's aid against Thay.
* '''Ribcage, Under New Management''': Uncovering Zelza's scheme to plunge Ribcage into the Nine Hells, Xarannos was installed as interim Duke of Ribcage. Zelza was consumed by Bel.
* '''The Third Hell's Door''': A portal to the third layer of the Nine Hells is now publicly known and guarded in the Beetle Bazaar. It's near a woman's burned-down shop. Don't say your favorite color.
* '''A Hag Still Remembers''': The Moss Hag swam through the mire of Minauros, fleeing as the party survived her trap, stole her soul coins, and even freed her Catoblepas. She may yet seek revenge or move on to safer prey.
* '''Tessavyr's Debt''': A rilmani, pinned to the earth by infernal spikes placed by a circle of succubi working for Zelza, thanked the party for its freedom, stating that they just need call its name toward the Spire should they ever need aid.

=== Curiosities ===
* '''The Unpowered Golem''': This still sits abandoned in the flooded depths of the Imaskari Tomb. The party also looted an Anti-Divinity Orb from the same location.
* '''The Unnamed Scholar''': The party looted the body of a female ghoul scholar with a bronze circlet, stuffing her into their Bag of Holding for later Speak-with-Dead questioning. They then proceeded to forget about it.
* '''The Bronze Rib''': A Bronze Rib in Minauros proves to be a foil to teleportation magic, although it did not look easy to move.
* '''Aunrae's Spellbook''': Aside from the Teleportation Circle spell, the dead drow's spellbook also had a loose sheet of sigils for all ten Undrek'Thoz drow-city states and the duergar city of Fraaszummdin.
* '''The Ring''': Galdren asked Diedric if Azhar, Diedric's adopted father and financier of his estate, still bore a ring with gemstones, and how many there were. Diedric confirmed there were two rubies with one inset blank. Galdren looked relieved.
* '''The Time-Skip Doppelganger''': Investigating a darkness at the heart of Thay, Galden and Navarra traced it to a doppelganger impersonating an Aglarond noble, and mid-interrogation they experienced a skip in time (candles instantly burned low) and the doppelganger was disintegrated to ash.
* '''The Interventionist Deva''': Zariel seemed like the crankiest out of the bunch at the Pavilion of Courage.

== The Story So Far ==

<div class="story-book">
<div class="story-box">
<p class="story-title">Chapter 1: Memory</p>
A group of diverse adventurers, each on their own path, found themselves at '''Ironjaw's Mirth''' on the Thay-Rashemen border. Their chance meeting was interrupted by the '''Red Wizards of Thay''', led by Vezim Sepret, who '''captured everyone''' in retaliation for losses at the Grove of Stars.

Now mired in the conflict between Thay and Rashemen and en route to a slave camp, '''the party escaped''' with aid from '''Imzel Ulmokina''', a Wychlaran druid. A letter on Vezim revealed orders from '''Tharos Orakul, High Diviner of Surthay''', to slay '''"the owl"''' and capture '''"the amphibian"''' for study.

Imzel directed them to Lirensk to meet '''Galdren Murendar''', an ally against the Red Wizards. After a perilous journey across Lake Mulsantir, where they battled quippergulls and a Gelatinous Cube, they met Galdren, '''a rebel Red Wizard''' working to reform Thay. '''He tasked them with acquiring a Grand Sensory Stone from Sigil''', the City of Doors, casting their souls into the Astral Plane.

In the '''Astral Plane''', they helped a '''mathematician''' retrieve a variable stolen by a benign memory entity. Then, they escaped '''githyanki''' pursuers through a color pool to '''The Outlands''' -- after stealing their silver. Guided by a kind bariaur's words, they journeyed towards Sigil, encountering various planar entities (including water-sharing petitioners, imps, and a '''Rogue Modron''') and ultimately reached '''Ribcage''', the gate-town to the Nine Hells.

In Ribcage, they engaged in various intrigues: upgrading a Rogue Modron with infernal silver, binding an '''imp''' into servitude with the help of a '''slaad advocate''', aiding a falsely accused man, uncovering a '''cambion's''' scheme with a '''hag''', and participating in a Blood War skirmish. They finally found passage to '''Sigil''' beneath a bar stool.

In Sigil, they discovered '''Cedani's grandmother's''' ruined poetry shop and defeated the '''Summer Eladrin''' responsible. After recovering from near-death, they met with faction representatives and negotiated with '''Niara''', a Sensate Factotum, for a '''Grand Sensory Stone in exchange for locating Ember'''.

Their search brought them to The Velvet Harness inn, where a '''pegasus''' and '''deva''' led them to a vortex to the '''Elemental Plane of Air'''. There, they survived a harrowing fall with '''Ember''''s help, learning to navigate a realm where direction is a matter of perception. They landed in the courtyard of the '''Palace of the Winds''', a majestic djinn stronghold.

There, they agreed to help rescue a '''trapped djinn''' from the clutches of '''kobolds''', defeating the '''Avatar of Yan-C-Bin'''.

Victorious, they returned to Sigil, and acquired the '''Grand Sensory Stone''' at last. Joining factions and receiving pay from '''The Alley Reapers''', they returned to their bodies in '''The Rebel Estate'''.

Grateful, Galdren rewarded them with '''vast sums of jink''', a Weave-attuned sextant, and explained that he planned to use the stone to '''capture the memories of a deceased person''' who has information invaluable to their cause.

He bid the heroes rest, for now.

'''To:''' 7th of Tarsakh (The Claw of the Storms, April), 1372 DR

<div class="story-box">
<p class="story-title">Chapter 2: Convergence</p>
Returning from their astral journey with the '''Grand Sensory Stone''', the party awoke at '''The Rebel Estate''' to visions of '''Tharos Orakul''' warning '''Octavius''' away from Thay. '''Cedani''' departed for the Feywild, while '''Lilia Corydalis''', a starry witch seeking her missing coven sister, joined the group.

Sent to '''Urlingwood''' to cure '''Glenn's''' curse, the '''Wychlaran''' declared the barbs needed to be removed where they were cast. At the '''Monolith of Stars''', visions of fractured futures preceded a goblinoid assault. In the chaos, '''Octavius's''' latent '''planeswalker spark''' ignited, pulling them through the '''Blind Eternities''' to '''Mirrodin''' before willing them home.

Pursuing the stolen Monolith into the '''Underdark''', they uncovered drow treachery, slew the ogre assassin '''Vaergath''', and returned the relic to '''Urlingwood'''—shattering divination tools across the continent. In the '''High Country''', they freed and destroyed the demon '''Threxzadur''', then rescued '''Elowen Stonereach''' from the maw of '''Kissethkashaan''', the White Wyrm, escaping through another desperate planeswalk.

In '''Cormyr''', they infiltrated '''Phaulkon Manor''', battled '''illithid''' in '''Hullack Forest''', and finally broke '''Glenn's''' curse where '''Manshoon''' had cast it. '''Glenn''' emerged transformed, embracing both his nobility and his frog nature. '''Githyanki''' seekers arrived and were driven off; '''Kith'rak Gaath''' fled without his silver blade.

Flying east to the '''Endless Wastes''', they joined a paladin's quest for vengeance among warring '''Tuigan''' tribes. Beneath the '''Lake of Mists''', they destroyed an '''Imaskari''' altar of reanimation, collapsing its undead horde. The treacherous '''Qara Sarn's''' head became tribute to '''Hoar''', securing both tribes and the paladin order as allies.

'''Galdren''' revealed his purpose: capturing the memories of '''Navarra''', an ally slain by '''Tharos''' who knew of a weapon in the '''Fell Tower''' in a desert of '''purple sands'''. At her grave, his ritual bound her memories into the '''Grand Sensory Stone'''. He charged the heroes to carry it into the '''Outer Planes''', find her spirit, and deliver it—with '''Ember''' and her broken blue-tinted mask as their guides.

Bearing orb and mask into the '''Astral Plane''' and out through the '''Turquoise Color Pool''', they crossed a reshaped '''Outlands''' and the orchards of '''Sheela Peryroyl'''. Within sight of '''Ribcage''' they freed '''Tessavyr''', a rilmani pinned to the roadside by infernal spikes, who named a favor owed and bid them call toward the '''Spire'''.

In the city, '''Glenn's''' cheerful shout of "Green!" spoke the key to a hidden portal, dropping the party into '''Minauros''', where '''The Moss Hag''' loosed a dire troll in revenge for her ruined schemes. They shattered it, plundered her lair of thirty-three '''soul coins''', and burned her shop on their return.

'''Xarannos''' now ruled Ribcage, '''Zelza''' having been eaten by '''Bel'''. '''Unit 137's''' hellfire freed three innocent souls from the hag's coins. Passing to '''Sigil''' through the stool at '''The Bleeding Horn''', '''Diedric''' was pulled aside to stand before '''Selûne''' as the kobolds of '''The Howling Island''' reached home at last, and was named '''Favored'''. '''Ember''' sent them beneath the Cage to find the spirit-seeker '''Vistra Runehall'''.

Her trail led through '''Vos'Ultok''' to the deva '''Galenthias''', who carried them to '''Lunia''', where the pit lord '''Sulphaxus''' rose from the holy waters mortal and redeemed. At the '''Pavilion of Courage''' they learned Vistra hunts the spectre of a carpenter who betrayed a rebel to save a family he lost anyway. Through '''Khorvas's Pool''' they swam into '''Karasuthra''', the eternal midnight of the '''Beastlands''', a day and a half behind her.

== (Known) Active Plot Threads ==
''Last updated: 2026-07-30''

=== Main Quest: Seeking Navarra ===
* '''The Rebel Wizard''': Galdren Murendar, a rebel Red Wizard, seeks to undermine Thay to reform it. To this end, he has tasked the party with finding Navarra, a deceased ally. He seeks to reunite her spirit with her captured memories so he can find a way into the Fell Tower, in the Plains of Purple Dust, which is rumored to house a powerful weapon.
* '''The Spirit Seeker''': The party is currently tracking Vistra, a Spirit Seeker, in order to find Navarra's spirit. She is in Karasuthra in the Beastlands.
* '''Andren's Ledger''': Vistra is currently tracking the spirit of Andren, a man who betrayed his friend Tovaal in a failed attempt to save his family. She is on a contract from the Mercykillers.

=== Side Quests ===
* '''Hunting the Slavers''': Imzel Ulmokina, the druid that freed the party from captivity, was last heard to have been following the rest of the slave wagons, tracking them to their destination.
* '''Lake Mulsantir''': The lake south of Lirensk still suffers from Red Wizards having introduced aberrations in a past skirmish with the Rashemi.
* '''The Phaulkon-bane''': The clone of Manshoon who had assailed Glenn's keep is known to be heading for Chult, using the funds he made to hire the priests of Ubtao to transfer his soul to another body before this one fails him.
* '''Walking the Paths''': The party has learned of many paths (at least six) that can be tread to ascend the hierarchy of Mount Celestia. They need make a pledge to a representative of a Power to start their journey and may be asked to make a sacrifice. Upon walking the path, they will gain +2 to a chosen attribute.
* '''Namers and Berks''': Party members may seek to further their standing with their preferred Sigil faction, which may grant special abilities and privileges.
* '''The Monolith of Stars''': Still safe, it invites academic and divination study.
* '''The Elfmound''': Drenn, the drow wizard spared at Phaulkon Manor, spoke of a Permanency spell and other Netherese magics he found at The Elfmound.

=== Party Member Paths ===
* '''The Planeswalker''': Octavius's planeswalker spark ignited and his fastbond to lands he visits continues to increase his power, collecting fragments of planes to revisit them more easily. He seeks to write a dissertation on the extinct Batrachi race, and has a Weave-Attuned Sextant ready to deliver to a Slaad in Sigil who is interested in its study, as he feels it may draw a connection between the Batrachi race and all Slaad.
* '''A Curse Turned Boon''': Glenn embraced his frog form as his curse was cured, gaining the ability to "wield it as a shield" as his father taught him. He idly joked that he should "start collecting curses".
* '''Favored of Selune''': Blessed by the Moon Goddess for his leading of the lost, Diedric has been named Favored. This connection may continue to grow.
* '''Touched by a Telthor''': Having served as a host for the Telthor of Stars, Lilia can now conjure its constellation around her. As she continues to study stars from other planes, she may grow to understand the strange ones in the night sky above the Monolith, as they do not match that of Faerun's. She has secured access to the Grove of Stars for her coven-sisters, who may relocate once Elowen reaches them with the news.
* '''The Caltrop's Covenant''': Unit 137 continues to show more Hellish influence, including the ability to summon Happy, a tortured lemure, and sporting a pentagram inscribed on his form. In exchange for his infernal immortality, Unit 137 has incurred a debt to the hells and will need to serve them for 666 days at some point in the future.
* '''The Piked Contract''': Smokescale battles with the philosophy of being indentured to a bunch of piking level-headed bloods. Do his chains even matter anymore? His speaking circle truth was "I really want to corrupt the owl, drag him down to my level".

=== Prior Party Members ===
* '''The Star of the Climbing Warrior''': Uchu Buredo, in company of Cedani, continues to seek a way to his home world of Tsunadehoshi. His lead is that a "Vine-Warrior" was spotted in The Velvet Harness by the pegasus Kai. (God the DM did a lot of worldbuilding for this shit.) He also seeks revenge on Vex'riath, the githyanki creche leader of Zar'kash's Forge, who also escaped and survived as that spelljammer ship was destroyed by Uchu's psionic awakening.
* '''Smoke on the Water''': Cedani, having received an urgent message from Soveliss, sought to rescue him from peril. He had been on the way to Evermeet to seek Tharos's true name and had asked of Cedani for a delivery of a scale from a white abishai before being captured by unknown assailants. Diedric (during a session he missed) assisted them, rescuing him from a Troll's cookpot by trading a useless bauble. Cedani and Uchu then proceeded to the Feywild, where her patron had called for a meeting of the seasons in response to her poetry shop being burned down by the summer eladrin Aula. Octavius had subsequently seen visions of Cedani and Uchu in Minauros, being surrounded by hags and the corpses of dead eladrin of various seasons. Uchu's eyes turned red.
* '''The Pursued and Pursuer''': Chai evades cultists pursuing her for her Changeling heritage. She accompanies Cove to the Sea of Fallen Stars, where she seeks to find the prison island that she escaped as a child.

=== Pending ===
* '''The High Diviner''': Tharos Orakul, deprived of the Monolith, continues to suffer from a wasting disease. In desperation, he has met with the Githyanki.
* '''The Foreseen Assault''' Octavius foresaw an attack on the monolith by Kissethkashaan, likely in the month of Flamerule (two months after Mirtul). The vision showed one faerzress crystal already shattered, two wychlaran triplets freezing and shattering, and the Monolith cracking with a yellow light emanating from the crack, hinting at something within. This was shared with Galdren, who said he'd warn the Rashemi, so they should be forewarned.
* '''Hilt's Reward''': In thanks for the party's aid in getting Xarannos to represent him in his accusation against Zelza, he told them that Fredd, a proprietor of The Shaved Coin in The Below, keeps a chest of rubies that they both gathered by using a portal to a mineral-rich pocket of the Elemental Plane of Earth. This portal lies below the fighting pits and the key is blood, so it's usually open. Hilt is also a senator of Ribcage now.
* '''A Wedding on the Wind''': The party will be invited to Ember and Zekir al-Suhail's wedding. They'll hear his voice in the wind. A greater boon was promised. This will be in two years during his coronation.
* '''The Writer''': Atrus, an author of Ages, seeks to write a linking book to a location that can cure any ailment, including Glenn's. This may take him until the month of Kythorn. He had granted the party a linking book labeled "Myst", which they could use to visit him. The tram code is half of the clocktower's set time.
* '''The Bewildered Horse''': Barnaby, the awakened horse, was not at the Velvet Harness the last two visits. Barnaby will return.
* '''The Nyaning Leonin''': Rescued from certain doom on Mirrodin, Shadespine has run off to the Rashemi Berserker Lodge to join them.
* '''The Coven and the Monolith''' Lilia's coven will soon make way for the Grove of Stars to study it and the Monolith. They owe Lilia for this opportunity, and for rescuing Elowen.
* '''The Swordmaster's Road''' Cyrus, Glenn's swordmaster, will likely have been teleported to the War Wizards of Cormyr by Galdren's teleportation circle. He'll make way to Glenn's old keep to see it restored.

=== Visions ===
* ''(Averted)'' '''The Diviner's Prize''': Tharos Orakul's eyes staring at Octavius as he touches the Monolith inside of a grand tower. This diversion shattered divination implements across Faerun.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Convergence of Seasons''': Cedani and three other eladrin — Summer, Spring, and Autumn — navigating a bog as dark shapes surround them.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Blue Fire Falls''': Blue fire crisscrossing the sky, lines burning as Faerûn screams.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Moon in His Arm''': Diedric wielding Selûne in his left arm.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Elder Shadow''': A colossal brain hovering over a city on the Sword Coast, many tendrils hanging down.
* ''(Unlikely Future)'' '''The Psion's Crown''': Uchu, resolute, placing a silver helmet with silver cables attached — as neon explosions appear behind him.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Skycleaver''': A colossal axe parting the clouds.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Crown of Daggers''': Unit 137 wearing a crown of daggers as a legion of devils cheer.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Melting Wings''': Devil wings melting in water.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Frog and the Falcon''': A frog riding a falcon over foggy green hills.
* ''(Happened — planeswalker spark ignition)'' '''The Fire Within''': A flame burning Octavius from within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Obelisk Laid Low''': The obelisk lying on its side in the sunlight.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Parting of Stars''': Lilia throwing her arms to the side, stars following her command and splitting the sky in twain.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Gauntlet of Golden Nails''': Diedric struggling to breathe as a hand bearing a strange gauntlet -- five rings, joined by golden chains, terminating in a golden nail on each finger -- lifted him up.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Marching Dead''': Undead shuffling in great masses, Thaymount erupting in the background.
* ''(Happened)'' '''Ten Seconds From Now''': An ogre crashing through the trees, charging at Octavius as he turns from facing the Monolith… ten seconds from now.
* ''(Future)'' '''Winter Comes to the Grove''': The Grove of Stars. Kissethkashaan, enraged, breathes a cone of cold in a sweeping pass. One of the faerzress crystals is already shattered. Two wychlaran triplets shatter to ice. The Monolith of Stars begins to crack under the cold — and a yellow light emanates from a large crack, implying something within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Red Rage''': Uchu and Cedani stand back-to-back in a bog beneath a dark fey sky as three hags approach from all sides. Dead eladrin of various seasons are scattered around them, sinking. Uchu looks to Cedani, who nods grimly. His glowing blue eyes and blue daggers turn red and he begins howling in a berserker rage.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Lich-Queen's Audience''': Hovering in the Astral Plane: a bald Red Wizard, Tharos Orakul, bowing and coughing blood as a colossal undead githyanki woman sits on a throne, examining her hand, projecting boredom while failing to conceal a glint in her eye. She notices Octavius before the vision fades.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Chorus of Stones''': B'ian Ch'k Ch'k kneels shirtless inside of a low wagon as dozens of sending stones begin vibrating all at once, voices whispering and shouting in various languages. He turns as he hears screaming outside.

=== B'ian Fact Facts ===
* In 1368 DR, B'ian Ch'k Ch'k hid ''inside'' a Candlekeep bookshelf during the doppelganger purge in the wake of the Bhaalspawn.
* In 1370 DR, B'ian Ch'k Ch'k was gifted a traveling wagon by the halfling nation of Luiren for his assistance in averting a flooding crisis. It was engineered by a halfling knight of Gond.

=== Consequences ===
* '''The Mirth of the Ironjaws''': With Hulmarra Ironjaw's death, and the burning of Ironjaw's Mirth, her surviving 11 sisters are likely to have heard of the events by now.
* '''The Charmed Guard:''' Thenn, the Thayan guard charmed during the escape from the Red Wizard wagons, was taken as prisoner by Imzel. He now lives as a servant to a woman in the Grove of Stars that is foreseen to be his wife. It's an awkward relationship.
* '''The Grand Concordance''': Aristeus, a mathematician culturally spending his last days in the Astral Plane, was aided by the party who recovered a variable for him from a memory entity. His allowed him to complete a masterwork that describes the Four Compulsions and the Veil. It seems of important scientific and philosophical importance.
* '''The Silver Skiff''': Vlaakith grows irked by the unanswered theft, three fireballed githyanki, a lost apprentice, the loss of Gaath's ambush team, with one of the apprentices banished and being specifically told to "Tell Vlaakith to leave us alone!". Octavius's vision of an ill Tharos Orakul groveling before her may be of greater import however.
* '''The Lost Githyanki''': Viran, apprentice of Kith'rak Gaath, was led astray by the Alley Reapers in his pursuit of the party and is likely imprisoned in the plane of Carceri.
* '''The Doomed Noble:''' The sickly noble on a balcony in Ribcage is probably super, super dead by now. He's been replaced by a younger noble, flanked by the same red and green cambion ladies.
* '''A Hag Remembers''': The Moss Hag's scheme to secure souls with Luciel foiled, she set a trap whilst Luciel fled the city.
* '''The Alley Reapers:''' They believe Cedani is an agent for a person named Boppel, the "high-up man". They were paying her a cut of their take in the Hive Ward. While she's no longer with the party, they will consider them associates.
* '''Yan-C-in-the-Bin''': Yan-C-Bin will not soon forget the defeat of his avatar at the hands of interlopers from the Prime Material Plane.
* '''The Djinn Prince''': Rescued from a sacrifial rite, the Prince gifted the party a Carpet of Flying and promised great gifts on his wedding day.
* '''The Kobold Pilgrimage''': Spared by Diedric, kobolds worshipping Yan-C-Bin fled back to their tempestuous homeworld, now guided by a familiar moon goddess.
* '''The Telthor of Stars''': Diviners clashed and Tharos was robbed of his fate of securing the Monolith of Stars via a route in the Underdark. The Telthor still lives within, watching over the Rashemi as their tribes unite to select a new Iron Lord. Grimsnarl, an awakened wolf, invited the party's voices in selecting the next Iron Lord as the lodges gather. His own pick: "a simpleton, but his dajemma is legendary -- he travels still with the child of Bhaal on the Sword Coast."
* '''The Drow Wizardress''': Murdered by Octavius, Aunrae Drezz'Lynur was freelancing while under the guise of serving Matron Zorratha. In reality, she was playing Tharos and the duergar against each other. Matron Zorratha wonders what came of the Monolith.
* '''The Unpaid Duergar''': Expecting a payment for pick-up and delivery of the Monolith of Stars, the duergar just found an empty battleground and their gold missing.
* '''The Breaking of Threxzadur''': Octavius willingly drank of a trapped tanar'ri's power, freeing it and then defeating it. It will be reborn in the Abyss.
* '''Eight-legged Freedom''': Freed from their bonds, the goblin's infant ice spiders traveled north, to the icy mountain from which their eggs were stolen.
* '''Vix's Crown''': Sneaking through a sprawling goblin country, the party helped Vix the white kobold steal a Tuigan Helm of Command from the goblin leader.
* '''The Surviving Crossbowman''': Erik the eye-patched crossbowman was rescued from freezing to death by the party. He has foresworn adventuring and claims to be retiring.
* '''The Blood Sorceress''': Qualm and the rest of the dragon slaying party perished in Kissethkashaan's lair. The party happily looted them.
* '''The Rescued Coven-sister''': Elowen Stonereach, an offering of blood to the white dragon by the Nanraak Goblins, was rescued and whisked away. She makes way to the Dalelands to meet with her coven, who will likely travel to The Monolith of Stars to study it.
* '''The White Wyrm's Due''': Angered by the previous dragonslaying party's attempt on his life and another party escaping with his tribute, Kissethkashaan plots his revenge, remembering that one of the members of the first group was of Rashemi descent.
* '''The Piked Halfling''': Finn Fatfoot was charmed into giving up his dreamsilk and giving up Zhentarim secrets. He is on the run from authorities.
* '''The Cleansing of Hullack Forest''': A mindflayer cell, which had fled something in the Underdark, was eliminated by the party. Glenn (with the help of Shrieker) also drove the Zhentarim from his family's keep and had his curse removed. Drenn, the drow wizard in charge of this Zhentarim compound, gave the party information as to Manshoon's plans in Chuult in exchange for his life.
* '''Shrieker''': Glenn's father's Ranger General of his armies continues to patrol the region around Thunderstone, bringing justice to those that the Purple Dragon Knights cannot. Her shrieks in the night bring comfort to children and woe to brigrands. A Tuigan woman mentioned seeing her on the battlefield when Cormyr fought in an alliance against the Tuigan horde, referring to her as Glenn's father's "paramour" who saved him from an ambush. She can be summoned by lighting two pyres on the northern towers near the bridge to Hullack Forest.
* '''The Silver Blade''': Kith'rak Gaath had his entire githyanki strike force ambushed the party but were defeated. Gaath retreated, but had to leave his sword behind.
* '''Blessed Grains''': Lilia blessed the fields of the Tuigan people in an extended ritual, ensuring a bountiful harvest.
* '''The Imaskari Altar''': The party fought through sahuagin priests and destroyed an ancient Imaskari Altar that could animate undead thanks to a link to the Plane of Negative Energy.
* '''Peace on the Endless Wastes''': Peace was brokered between the Fankiang Traditionalists and Hubadai Loyalists, with the Fankiang receiving a seven year deal where they would patrol and tax the Golden Way. The Fankiang agreed to assist with Thay, and the Hubadai representative said he would bring it before their leader in Kourmira.
* '''The Justice of Hoar''': The head of Qara Sarn, a Fankiang member who attempted to leave Khan Borcha to her death, was served to Hoar as recompense for the slaying of one of his paladins. He accepted with three thunderstrikes, and Lureene Amblecrown assured that they had secured the Hoar Order's aid against Thay.
* '''Ribcage, Under New Management''': Uncovering Zelza's scheme to plunge Ribcage into the Nine Hells, Xarannos was installed as interim Duke of Ribcage. Zelza was consumed by Bel.
* '''The Third Hell's Door''': A portal to the third layer of the Nine Hells is now publicly known and guarded in the Beetle Bazaar. It's near a woman's burned-down shop. Don't say your favorite color.
* '''A Hag Still Remembers''': The Moss Hag swam through the mire of Minauros, fleeing as the party survived her trap, stole her soul coins, and even freed her Catoblepas. She may yet seek revenge or move on to safer prey.
* '''Tessavyr's Debt''': A rilmani, pinned to the earth by infernal spikes placed by a circle of succubi working for Zelza, thanked the party for its freedom, stating that they just need call its name toward the Spire should they ever need aid.

=== Curiosities ===
* '''The Unpowered Golem''': This still sits abandoned in the flooded depths of the Imaskari Tomb. The party also looted an Anti-Divinity Orb from the same location.
* '''The Unnamed Scholar''': The party looted the body of a female ghoul scholar with a bronze circlet, stuffing her into their Bag of Holding for later Speak-with-Dead questioning. They then proceeded to forget about it.
* '''The Bronze Rib''': A Bronze Rib in Minauros proves to be a foil to teleportation magic, although it did not look easy to move.
* '''Aunrae's Spellbook''': Aside from the Teleportation Circle spell, the dead drow's spellbook also had a loose sheet of sigils for all ten Undrek'Thoz drow-city states and the duergar city of Fraaszummdin.
* '''The Ring''': Galdren asked Diedric if Azhar, Diedric's adopted father and financier of his estate, still bore a ring with gemstones, and how many there were. Diedric confirmed there were two rubies with one inset blank. Galdren looked relieved.
* '''The Time-Skip Doppelganger''': Investigating a darkness at the heart of Thay, Galden and Navarra traced it to a doppelganger impersonating an Aglarond noble, and mid-interrogation they experienced a skip in time (candles instantly burned low) and the doppelganger was disintegrated to ash.
* '''The Interventionist Deva''': Zariel seemed like the crankiest out of the bunch at the Pavilion of Courage.

== The Story So Far ==

<div class="story-book">
<div class="story-box">
<p class="story-title">Chapter 1: Memory</p>
A group of diverse adventurers, each on their own path, found themselves at '''Ironjaw's Mirth''' on the Thay-Rashemen border. Their chance meeting was interrupted by the '''Red Wizards of Thay''', led by Vezim Sepret, who '''captured everyone''' in retaliation for losses at the Grove of Stars.

Now mired in the conflict between Thay and Rashemen and en route to a slave camp, '''the party escaped''' with aid from '''Imzel Ulmokina''', a Wychlaran druid. A letter on Vezim revealed orders from '''Tharos Orakul, High Diviner of Surthay''', to slay '''"the owl"''' and capture '''"the amphibian"''' for study.

Imzel directed them to Lirensk to meet '''Galdren Murendar''', an ally against the Red Wizards. After a perilous journey across Lake Mulsantir, where they battled quippergulls and a Gelatinous Cube, they met Galdren, '''a rebel Red Wizard''' working to reform Thay. '''He tasked them with acquiring a Grand Sensory Stone from Sigil''', the City of Doors, casting their souls into the Astral Plane.

In the '''Astral Plane''', they helped a '''mathematician''' retrieve a variable stolen by a benign memory entity. Then, they escaped '''githyanki''' pursuers through a color pool to '''The Outlands''' -- after stealing their silver. Guided by a kind bariaur's words, they journeyed towards Sigil, encountering various planar entities (including water-sharing petitioners, imps, and a '''Rogue Modron''') and ultimately reached '''Ribcage''', the gate-town to the Nine Hells.

In Ribcage, they engaged in various intrigues: upgrading a Rogue Modron with infernal silver, binding an '''imp''' into servitude with the help of a '''slaad advocate''', aiding a falsely accused man, uncovering a '''cambion's''' scheme with a '''hag''', and participating in a Blood War skirmish. They finally found passage to '''Sigil''' beneath a bar stool.

In Sigil, they discovered '''Cedani's grandmother's''' ruined poetry shop and defeated the '''Summer Eladrin''' responsible. After recovering from near-death, they met with faction representatives and negotiated with '''Niara''', a Sensate Factotum, for a '''Grand Sensory Stone in exchange for locating Ember'''.

Their search brought them to The Velvet Harness inn, where a '''pegasus''' and '''deva''' led them to a vortex to the '''Elemental Plane of Air'''. There, they survived a harrowing fall with '''Ember''''s help, learning to navigate a realm where direction is a matter of perception. They landed in the courtyard of the '''Palace of the Winds''', a majestic djinn stronghold.

There, they agreed to help rescue a '''trapped djinn''' from the clutches of '''kobolds''', defeating the '''Avatar of Yan-C-Bin'''.

Victorious, they returned to Sigil, and acquired the '''Grand Sensory Stone''' at last. Joining factions and receiving pay from '''The Alley Reapers''', they returned to their bodies in '''The Rebel Estate'''.

Grateful, Galdren rewarded them with '''vast sums of jink''', a Weave-attuned sextant, and explained that he planned to use the stone to '''capture the memories of a deceased person''' who has information invaluable to their cause.

He bid the heroes rest, for now.

<p class="story-title">Chapter 2: Convergence</p>
Returning from their astral journey with the '''Grand Sensory Stone''', the party awoke at '''The Rebel Estate''' to visions of '''Tharos Orakul''' warning '''Octavius''' away from Thay. '''Cedani''' departed for the Feywild, while '''Lilia Corydalis''', a starry witch seeking her missing coven sister, joined the group.

Sent to '''Urlingwood''' to cure '''Glenn's''' curse, the '''Wychlaran''' declared the barbs needed to be removed where they were cast. At the '''Monolith of Stars''', visions of fractured futures preceded a goblinoid assault. In the chaos, '''Octavius's''' latent '''planeswalker spark''' ignited, pulling them through the '''Blind Eternities''' to '''Mirrodin''' before willing them home.

Pursuing the stolen Monolith into the '''Underdark''', they uncovered drow treachery, slew the ogre assassin '''Vaergath''', and returned the relic to '''Urlingwood'''—shattering divination tools across the continent. In the '''High Country''', they freed and destroyed the demon '''Threxzadur''', then rescued '''Elowen Stonereach''' from the maw of '''Kissethkashaan''', the White Wyrm, escaping through another desperate planeswalk.

In '''Cormyr''', they infiltrated '''Phaulkon Manor''', battled '''illithid''' in '''Hullack Forest''', and finally broke '''Glenn's''' curse where '''Manshoon''' had cast it. '''Glenn''' emerged transformed, embracing both his nobility and his frog nature. '''Githyanki''' seekers arrived and were driven off; '''Kith'rak Gaath''' fled without his silver blade.

Flying east to the '''Endless Wastes''', they joined a paladin's quest for vengeance among warring '''Tuigan''' tribes. Beneath the '''Lake of Mists''', they destroyed an '''Imaskari''' altar of reanimation, collapsing its undead horde. The treacherous '''Qara Sarn's''' head became tribute to '''Hoar''', securing both tribes and the paladin order as allies.

'''Galdren''' revealed his purpose: capturing the memories of '''Navarra''', an ally slain by '''Tharos''' who knew of a weapon in the '''Fell Tower''' in a desert of '''purple sands'''. At her grave, his ritual bound her memories into the '''Grand Sensory Stone'''. He charged the heroes to carry it into the '''Outer Planes''', find her spirit, and deliver it—with '''Ember''' and her broken blue-tinted mask as their guides.

Bearing orb and mask into the '''Astral Plane''' and out through the '''Turquoise Color Pool''', they crossed a reshaped '''Outlands''' and the orchards of '''Sheela Peryroyl'''. Within sight of '''Ribcage''' they freed '''Tessavyr''', a rilmani pinned to the roadside by infernal spikes, who named a favor owed and bid them call toward the '''Spire'''.

In the city, '''Glenn's''' cheerful shout of "Green!" spoke the key to a hidden portal, dropping the party into '''Minauros''', where '''The Moss Hag''' loosed a dire troll in revenge for her ruined schemes. They shattered it, plundered her lair of thirty-three '''soul coins''', and burned her shop on their return.

'''Xarannos''' now ruled Ribcage, '''Zelza''' having been eaten by '''Bel'''. '''Unit 137's''' hellfire freed three innocent souls from the hag's coins. Passing to '''Sigil''' through the stool at '''The Bleeding Horn''', '''Diedric''' was pulled aside to stand before '''Selûne''' as the kobolds of '''The Howling Island''' reached home at last, and was named '''Favored'''. '''Ember''' sent them beneath the Cage to find the spirit-seeker '''Vistra Runehall'''.

Her trail led through '''Vos'Ultok''' to the deva '''Galenthias''', who carried them to '''Lunia''', where the pit lord '''Sulphaxus''' rose from the holy waters mortal and redeemed. At the '''Pavilion of Courage''' they learned Vistra hunts the spectre of a carpenter who betrayed a rebel to save a family he lost anyway. Through '''Khorvas's Pool''' they swam into '''Karasuthra''', the eternal midnight of the '''Beastlands''', a day and a half behind her.

== (Known) Active Plot Threads ==
''Last updated: 2026-07-30''

=== Main Quest: Seeking Navarra ===
* '''The Rebel Wizard''': Galdren Murendar, a rebel Red Wizard, seeks to undermine Thay to reform it. To this end, he has tasked the party with finding Navarra, a deceased ally. He seeks to reunite her spirit with her captured memories so he can find a way into the Fell Tower, in the Plains of Purple Dust, which is rumored to house a powerful weapon.
* '''The Spirit Seeker''': The party is currently tracking Vistra, a Spirit Seeker, in order to find Navarra's spirit. She is in Karasuthra in the Beastlands.
* '''Andren's Ledger''': Vistra is currently tracking the spirit of Andren, a man who betrayed his friend Tovaal in a failed attempt to save his family. She is on a contract from the Mercykillers.

=== Side Quests ===
* '''Hunting the Slavers''': Imzel Ulmokina, the druid that freed the party from captivity, was last heard to have been following the rest of the slave wagons, tracking them to their destination.
* '''Lake Mulsantir''': The lake south of Lirensk still suffers from Red Wizards having introduced aberrations in a past skirmish with the Rashemi.
* '''The Phaulkon-bane''': The clone of Manshoon who had assailed Glenn's keep is known to be heading for Chult, using the funds he made to hire the priests of Ubtao to transfer his soul to another body before this one fails him.
* '''Walking the Paths''': The party has learned of many paths (at least six) that can be tread to ascend the hierarchy of Mount Celestia. They need make a pledge to a representative of a Power to start their journey and may be asked to make a sacrifice. Upon walking the path, they will gain +2 to a chosen attribute.
* '''Namers and Berks''': Party members may seek to further their standing with their preferred Sigil faction, which may grant special abilities and privileges.
* '''The Monolith of Stars''': Still safe, it invites academic and divination study.
* '''The Elfmound''': Drenn, the drow wizard spared at Phaulkon Manor, spoke of a Permanency spell and other Netherese magics he found at The Elfmound.

=== Party Member Paths ===
* '''The Planeswalker''': Octavius's planeswalker spark ignited and his fastbond to lands he visits continues to increase his power, collecting fragments of planes to revisit them more easily. He seeks to write a dissertation on the extinct Batrachi race, and has a Weave-Attuned Sextant ready to deliver to a Slaad in Sigil who is interested in its study, as he feels it may draw a connection between the Batrachi race and all Slaad.
* '''A Curse Turned Boon''': Glenn embraced his frog form as his curse was cured, gaining the ability to "wield it as a shield" as his father taught him. He idly joked that he should "start collecting curses".
* '''Favored of Selune''': Blessed by the Moon Goddess for his leading of the lost, Diedric has been named Favored. This connection may continue to grow.
* '''Touched by a Telthor''': Having served as a host for the Telthor of Stars, Lilia can now conjure its constellation around her. As she continues to study stars from other planes, she may grow to understand the strange ones in the night sky above the Monolith, as they do not match that of Faerun's. She has secured access to the Grove of Stars for her coven-sisters, who may relocate once Elowen reaches them with the news.
* '''The Caltrop's Covenant''': Unit 137 continues to show more Hellish influence, including the ability to summon Happy, a tortured lemure, and sporting a pentagram inscribed on his form. In exchange for his infernal immortality, Unit 137 has incurred a debt to the hells and will need to serve them for 666 days at some point in the future.
* '''The Piked Contract''': Smokescale battles with the philosophy of being indentured to a bunch of piking level-headed bloods. Do his chains even matter anymore? His speaking circle truth was "I really want to corrupt the owl, drag him down to my level".

=== Prior Party Members ===
* '''The Star of the Climbing Warrior''': Uchu Buredo, in company of Cedani, continues to seek a way to his home world of Tsunadehoshi. His lead is that a "Vine-Warrior" was spotted in The Velvet Harness by the pegasus Kai. (God the DM did a lot of worldbuilding for this shit.) He also seeks revenge on Vex'riath, the githyanki creche leader of Zar'kash's Forge, who also escaped and survived as that spelljammer ship was destroyed by Uchu's psionic awakening.
* '''Smoke on the Water''': Cedani, having received an urgent message from Soveliss, sought to rescue him from peril. He had been on the way to Evermeet to seek Tharos's true name and had asked of Cedani for a delivery of a scale from a white abishai before being captured by unknown assailants. Diedric (during a session he missed) assisted them, rescuing him from a Troll's cookpot by trading a useless bauble. Cedani and Uchu then proceeded to the Feywild, where her patron had called for a meeting of the seasons in response to her poetry shop being burned down by the summer eladrin Aula. Octavius had subsequently seen visions of Cedani and Uchu in Minauros, being surrounded by hags and the corpses of dead eladrin of various seasons. Uchu's eyes turned red.
* '''The Pursued and Pursuer''': Chai evades cultists pursuing her for her Changeling heritage. She accompanies Cove to the Sea of Fallen Stars, where she seeks to find the prison island that she escaped as a child.

=== Pending ===
* '''The High Diviner''': Tharos Orakul, deprived of the Monolith, continues to suffer from a wasting disease. In desperation, he has met with the Githyanki.
* '''The Foreseen Assault''' Octavius foresaw an attack on the monolith by Kissethkashaan, likely in the month of Flamerule (two months after Mirtul). The vision showed one faerzress crystal already shattered, two wychlaran triplets freezing and shattering, and the Monolith cracking with a yellow light emanating from the crack, hinting at something within. This was shared with Galdren, who said he'd warn the Rashemi, so they should be forewarned.
* '''Hilt's Reward''': In thanks for the party's aid in getting Xarannos to represent him in his accusation against Zelza, he told them that Fredd, a proprietor of The Shaved Coin in The Below, keeps a chest of rubies that they both gathered by using a portal to a mineral-rich pocket of the Elemental Plane of Earth. This portal lies below the fighting pits and the key is blood, so it's usually open. Hilt is also a senator of Ribcage now.
* '''A Wedding on the Wind''': The party will be invited to Ember and Zekir al-Suhail's wedding. They'll hear his voice in the wind. A greater boon was promised. This will be in two years during his coronation.
* '''The Writer''': Atrus, an author of Ages, seeks to write a linking book to a location that can cure any ailment, including Glenn's. This may take him until the month of Kythorn. He had granted the party a linking book labeled "Myst", which they could use to visit him. The tram code is half of the clocktower's set time.
* '''The Bewildered Horse''': Barnaby, the awakened horse, was not at the Velvet Harness the last two visits. Barnaby will return.
* '''The Nyaning Leonin''': Rescued from certain doom on Mirrodin, Shadespine has run off to the Rashemi Berserker Lodge to join them.
* '''The Coven and the Monolith''' Lilia's coven will soon make way for the Grove of Stars to study it and the Monolith. They owe Lilia for this opportunity, and for rescuing Elowen.
* '''The Swordmaster's Road''' Cyrus, Glenn's swordmaster, will likely have been teleported to the War Wizards of Cormyr by Galdren's teleportation circle. He'll make way to Glenn's old keep to see it restored.

=== Visions ===
* ''(Averted)'' '''The Diviner's Prize''': Tharos Orakul's eyes staring at Octavius as he touches the Monolith inside of a grand tower. This diversion shattered divination implements across Faerun.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Convergence of Seasons''': Cedani and three other eladrin — Summer, Spring, and Autumn — navigating a bog as dark shapes surround them.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Blue Fire Falls''': Blue fire crisscrossing the sky, lines burning as Faerûn screams.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Moon in His Arm''': Diedric wielding Selûne in his left arm.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Elder Shadow''': A colossal brain hovering over a city on the Sword Coast, many tendrils hanging down.
* ''(Unlikely Future)'' '''The Psion's Crown''': Uchu, resolute, placing a silver helmet with silver cables attached — as neon explosions appear behind him.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Skycleaver''': A colossal axe parting the clouds.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Crown of Daggers''': Unit 137 wearing a crown of daggers as a legion of devils cheer.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Melting Wings''': Devil wings melting in water.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Frog and the Falcon''': A frog riding a falcon over foggy green hills.
* ''(Happened — planeswalker spark ignition)'' '''The Fire Within''': A flame burning Octavius from within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Obelisk Laid Low''': The obelisk lying on its side in the sunlight.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Parting of Stars''': Lilia throwing her arms to the side, stars following her command and splitting the sky in twain.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Gauntlet of Golden Nails''': Diedric struggling to breathe as a hand bearing a strange gauntlet -- five rings, joined by golden chains, terminating in a golden nail on each finger -- lifted him up.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Marching Dead''': Undead shuffling in great masses, Thaymount erupting in the background.
* ''(Happened)'' '''Ten Seconds From Now''': An ogre crashing through the trees, charging at Octavius as he turns from facing the Monolith… ten seconds from now.
* ''(Future)'' '''Winter Comes to the Grove''': The Grove of Stars. Kissethkashaan, enraged, breathes a cone of cold in a sweeping pass. One of the faerzress crystals is already shattered. Two wychlaran triplets shatter to ice. The Monolith of Stars begins to crack under the cold — and a yellow light emanates from a large crack, implying something within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Red Rage''': Uchu and Cedani stand back-to-back in a bog beneath a dark fey sky as three hags approach from all sides. Dead eladrin of various seasons are scattered around them, sinking. Uchu looks to Cedani, who nods grimly. His glowing blue eyes and blue daggers turn red and he begins howling in a berserker rage.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Lich-Queen's Audience''': Hovering in the Astral Plane: a bald Red Wizard, Tharos Orakul, bowing and coughing blood as a colossal undead githyanki woman sits on a throne, examining her hand, projecting boredom while failing to conceal a glint in her eye. She notices Octavius before the vision fades.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Chorus of Stones''': B'ian Ch'k Ch'k kneels shirtless inside of a low wagon as dozens of sending stones begin vibrating all at once, voices whispering and shouting in various languages. He turns as he hears screaming outside.

=== B'ian Fact Facts ===
* In 1368 DR, B'ian Ch'k Ch'k hid ''inside'' a Candlekeep bookshelf during the doppelganger purge in the wake of the Bhaalspawn.
* In 1370 DR, B'ian Ch'k Ch'k was gifted a traveling wagon by the halfling nation of Luiren for his assistance in averting a flooding crisis. It was engineered by a halfling knight of Gond.

=== Consequences ===
* '''The Mirth of the Ironjaws''': With Hulmarra Ironjaw's death, and the burning of Ironjaw's Mirth, her surviving 11 sisters are likely to have heard of the events by now.
* '''The Charmed Guard:''' Thenn, the Thayan guard charmed during the escape from the Red Wizard wagons, was taken as prisoner by Imzel. He now lives as a servant to a woman in the Grove of Stars that is foreseen to be his wife. It's an awkward relationship.
* '''The Grand Concordance''': Aristeus, a mathematician culturally spending his last days in the Astral Plane, was aided by the party who recovered a variable for him from a memory entity. His allowed him to complete a masterwork that describes the Four Compulsions and the Veil. It seems of important scientific and philosophical importance.
* '''The Silver Skiff''': Vlaakith grows irked by the unanswered theft, three fireballed githyanki, a lost apprentice, the loss of Gaath's ambush team, with one of the apprentices banished and being specifically told to "Tell Vlaakith to leave us alone!". Octavius's vision of an ill Tharos Orakul groveling before her may be of greater import however.
* '''The Lost Githyanki''': Viran, apprentice of Kith'rak Gaath, was led astray by the Alley Reapers in his pursuit of the party and is likely imprisoned in the plane of Carceri.
* '''The Doomed Noble:''' The sickly noble on a balcony in Ribcage is probably super, super dead by now. He's been replaced by a younger noble, flanked by the same red and green cambion ladies.
* '''A Hag Remembers''': The Moss Hag's scheme to secure souls with Luciel foiled, she set a trap whilst Luciel fled the city.
* '''The Alley Reapers:''' They believe Cedani is an agent for a person named Boppel, the "high-up man". They were paying her a cut of their take in the Hive Ward. While she's no longer with the party, they will consider them associates.
* '''Yan-C-in-the-Bin''': Yan-C-Bin will not soon forget the defeat of his avatar at the hands of interlopers from the Prime Material Plane.
* '''The Djinn Prince''': Rescued from a sacrifial rite, the Prince gifted the party a Carpet of Flying and promised great gifts on his wedding day.
* '''The Kobold Pilgrimage''': Spared by Diedric, kobolds worshipping Yan-C-Bin fled back to their tempestuous homeworld, now guided by a familiar moon goddess.
* '''The Telthor of Stars''': Diviners clashed and Tharos was robbed of his fate of securing the Monolith of Stars via a route in the Underdark. The Telthor still lives within, watching over the Rashemi as their tribes unite to select a new Iron Lord. Grimsnarl, an awakened wolf, invited the party's voices in selecting the next Iron Lord as the lodges gather. His own pick: "a simpleton, but his dajemma is legendary -- he travels still with the child of Bhaal on the Sword Coast."
* '''The Drow Wizardress''': Murdered by Octavius, Aunrae Drezz'Lynur was freelancing while under the guise of serving Matron Zorratha. In reality, she was playing Tharos and the duergar against each other. Matron Zorratha wonders what came of the Monolith.
* '''The Unpaid Duergar''': Expecting a payment for pick-up and delivery of the Monolith of Stars, the duergar just found an empty battleground and their gold missing.
* '''The Breaking of Threxzadur''': Octavius willingly drank of a trapped tanar'ri's power, freeing it and then defeating it. It will be reborn in the Abyss.
* '''Eight-legged Freedom''': Freed from their bonds, the goblin's infant ice spiders traveled north, to the icy mountain from which their eggs were stolen.
* '''Vix's Crown''': Sneaking through a sprawling goblin country, the party helped Vix the white kobold steal a Tuigan Helm of Command from the goblin leader.
* '''The Surviving Crossbowman''': Erik the eye-patched crossbowman was rescued from freezing to death by the party. He has foresworn adventuring and claims to be retiring.
* '''The Blood Sorceress''': Qualm and the rest of the dragon slaying party perished in Kissethkashaan's lair. The party happily looted them.
* '''The Rescued Coven-sister''': Elowen Stonereach, an offering of blood to the white dragon by the Nanraak Goblins, was rescued and whisked away. She makes way to the Dalelands to meet with her coven, who will likely travel to The Monolith of Stars to study it.
* '''The White Wyrm's Due''': Angered by the previous dragonslaying party's attempt on his life and another party escaping with his tribute, Kissethkashaan plots his revenge, remembering that one of the members of the first group was of Rashemi descent.
* '''The Piked Halfling''': Finn Fatfoot was charmed into giving up his dreamsilk and giving up Zhentarim secrets. He is on the run from authorities.
* '''The Cleansing of Hullack Forest''': A mindflayer cell, which had fled something in the Underdark, was eliminated by the party. Glenn (with the help of Shrieker) also drove the Zhentarim from his family's keep and had his curse removed. Drenn, the drow wizard in charge of this Zhentarim compound, gave the party information as to Manshoon's plans in Chuult in exchange for his life.
* '''Shrieker''': Glenn's father's Ranger General of his armies continues to patrol the region around Thunderstone, bringing justice to those that the Purple Dragon Knights cannot. Her shrieks in the night bring comfort to children and woe to brigrands. A Tuigan woman mentioned seeing her on the battlefield when Cormyr fought in an alliance against the Tuigan horde, referring to her as Glenn's father's "paramour" who saved him from an ambush. She can be summoned by lighting two pyres on the northern towers near the bridge to Hullack Forest.
* '''The Silver Blade''': Kith'rak Gaath had his entire githyanki strike force ambushed the party but were defeated. Gaath retreated, but had to leave his sword behind.
* '''Blessed Grains''': Lilia blessed the fields of the Tuigan people in an extended ritual, ensuring a bountiful harvest.
* '''The Imaskari Altar''': The party fought through sahuagin priests and destroyed an ancient Imaskari Altar that could animate undead thanks to a link to the Plane of Negative Energy.
* '''Peace on the Endless Wastes''': Peace was brokered between the Fankiang Traditionalists and Hubadai Loyalists, with the Fankiang receiving a seven year deal where they would patrol and tax the Golden Way. The Fankiang agreed to assist with Thay, and the Hubadai representative said he would bring it before their leader in Kourmira.
* '''The Justice of Hoar''': The head of Qara Sarn, a Fankiang member who attempted to leave Khan Borcha to her death, was served to Hoar as recompense for the slaying of one of his paladins. He accepted with three thunderstrikes, and Lureene Amblecrown assured that they had secured the Hoar Order's aid against Thay.
* '''Ribcage, Under New Management''': Uncovering Zelza's scheme to plunge Ribcage into the Nine Hells, Xarannos was installed as interim Duke of Ribcage. Zelza was consumed by Bel.
* '''The Third Hell's Door''': A portal to the third layer of the Nine Hells is now publicly known and guarded in the Beetle Bazaar. It's near a woman's burned-down shop. Don't say your favorite color.
* '''A Hag Still Remembers''': The Moss Hag swam through the mire of Minauros, fleeing as the party survived her trap, stole her soul coins, and even freed her Catoblepas. She may yet seek revenge or move on to safer prey.
* '''Tessavyr's Debt''': A rilmani, pinned to the earth by infernal spikes placed by a circle of succubi working for Zelza, thanked the party for its freedom, stating that they just need call its name toward the Spire should they ever need aid.

=== Curiosities ===
* '''The Unpowered Golem''': This still sits abandoned in the flooded depths of the Imaskari Tomb. The party also looted an Anti-Divinity Orb from the same location.
* '''The Unnamed Scholar''': The party looted the body of a female ghoul scholar with a bronze circlet, stuffing her into their Bag of Holding for later Speak-with-Dead questioning. They then proceeded to forget about it.
* '''The Bronze Rib''': A Bronze Rib in Minauros proves to be a foil to teleportation magic, although it did not look easy to move.
* '''Aunrae's Spellbook''': Aside from the Teleportation Circle spell, the dead drow's spellbook also had a loose sheet of sigils for all ten Undrek'Thoz drow-city states and the duergar city of Fraaszummdin.
* '''The Ring''': Galdren asked Diedric if Azhar, Diedric's adopted father and financier of his estate, still bore a ring with gemstones, and how many there were. Diedric confirmed there were two rubies with one inset blank. Galdren looked relieved.
* '''The Time-Skip Doppelganger''': Investigating a darkness at the heart of Thay, Galden and Navarra traced it to a doppelganger impersonating an Aglarond noble, and mid-interrogation they experienced a skip in time (candles instantly burned low) and the doppelganger was disintegrated to ash.

''Last updated: 2026-07-30''

=== Main Quest: Seeking Navarra ===
* '''The Rebel Wizard''': Galdren Murendar, a rebel Red Wizard, seeks to undermine Thay to reform it. To this end, he has tasked the party with finding Navarra, a deceased ally. He seeks to reunite her spirit with her captured memories so he can find a way into the Fell Tower, in the Plains of Purple Dust, which is rumored to house a powerful weapon.
* '''The Spirit Seeker''': The party is currently tracking Vistra, a Spirit Seeker, in order to find Navarra's spirit. She is in Karasuthra in the Beastlands.
* '''Andren's Ledger''': Vistra is currently tracking the spirit of Andren, a man who betrayed his friend Tovaal in a failed attempt to save his family. She is on a contract from the Mercykillers.

=== Side Quests ===
* '''Hunting the Slavers''': Imzel Ulmokina, the druid that freed the party from captivity, was last heard to have been following the rest of the slave wagons, tracking them to their destination.
* '''Lake Mulsantir''': The lake south of Lirensk still suffers from Red Wizards having introduced aberrations in a past skirmish with the Rashemi.
* '''The Phaulkon-bane''': The clone of Manshoon who had assailed Glenn's keep is known to be heading for Chult, using the funds he made to hire the priests of Ubtao to transfer his soul to another body before this one fails him.
* '''Walking the Paths''': The party has learned of many paths (at least six) that can be tread to ascend the hierarchy of Mount Celestia. They need make a pledge to a representative of a Power to start their journey and may be asked to make a sacrifice. Upon walking the path, they will gain +2 to a chosen attribute.
* '''Namers and Berks''': Party members may seek to further their standing with their preferred Sigil faction, which may grant special abilities and privileges.
* '''The Monolith of Stars''': Still safe, it invites academic and divination study.
* '''The Elfmound''': Drenn, the drow wizard spared at Phaulkon Manor, spoke of a Permanency spell and other Netherese magics he found at The Elfmound.

=== Party Member Paths ===
* '''The Planeswalker''': Octavius's planeswalker spark ignited and his fastbond to lands he visits continues to increase his power, collecting fragments of planes to revisit them more easily. He seeks to write a dissertation on the extinct Batrachi race, and has a Weave-Attuned Sextant ready to deliver to a Slaad in Sigil who is interested in its study, as he feels it may draw a connection between the Batrachi race and all Slaad.
* '''A Curse Turned Boon''': Glenn embraced his frog form as his curse was cured, gaining the ability to "wield it as a shield" as his father taught him. He idly joked that he should "start collecting curses".
* '''Favored of Selune''': Blessed by the Moon Goddess for his leading of the lost, Diedric has been named Favored. This connection may continue to grow.
* '''Touched by a Telthor''': Having served as a host for the Telthor of Stars, Lilia can now conjure its constellation around her. As she continues to study stars from other planes, she may grow to understand the strange ones in the night sky above the Monolith, as they do not match that of Faerun's. She has secured access to the Grove of Stars for her coven-sisters, who may relocate once Elowen reaches them with the news.
* '''The Caltrop's Covenant''': Unit 137 continues to show more Hellish influence, including the ability to summon Happy, a tortured lemure, and sporting a pentagram inscribed on his form. In exchange for his infernal immortality, Unit 137 has incurred a debt to the hells and will need to serve them for 666 days at some point in the future.
* '''The Piked Contract''': Smokescale battles with the philosophy of being indentured to a bunch of piking level-headed bloods. Do his chains even matter anymore? His speaking circle truth was "I really want to corrupt the owl, drag him down to my level".

=== Prior Party Members ===
* '''The Star of the Climbing Warrior''': Uchu Buredo, in company of Cedani, continues to seek a way to his home world of Tsunadehoshi. His lead is that a "Vine-Warrior" was spotted in The Velvet Harness by the pegasus Kai. (God the DM did a lot of worldbuilding for this shit.) He also seeks revenge on Vex'riath, the githyanki creche leader of Zar'kash's Forge, who also escaped and survived as that spelljammer ship was destroyed by Uchu's psionic awakening.
* '''Smoke on the Water''': Cedani, having received an urgent message from Soveliss, sought to rescue him from peril. He had been on the way to Evermeet to seek Tharos's true name and had asked of Cedani for a delivery of a scale from a white abishai before being captured by unknown assailants. Diedric (during a session he missed) assisted them, rescuing him from a Troll's cookpot by trading a useless bauble. Cedani and Uchu then proceeded to the Feywild, where her patron had called for a meeting of the seasons in response to her poetry shop being burned down by the summer eladrin Aula. Octavius had subsequently seen visions of Cedani and Uchu in Minauros, being surrounded by hags and the corpses of dead eladrin of various seasons. Uchu's eyes turned red.
* '''The Pursued and Pursuer''': Chai evades cultists pursuing her for her Changeling heritage. She accompanies Cove to the Sea of Fallen Stars, where she seeks to find the prison island that she escaped as a child.

=== Pending ===
* '''The High Diviner''': Tharos Orakul, deprived of the Monolith, continues to suffer from a wasting disease. In desperation, he has met with the Githyanki.
* '''The Foreseen Assault''' Octavius foresaw an attack on the monolith by Kissethkashaan, likely in the month of Flamerule (two months after Mirtul). The vision showed one faerzress crystal already shattered, two wychlaran triplets freezing and shattering, and the Monolith cracking with a yellow light emanating from the crack, hinting at something within. This was shared with Galdren, who said he'd warn the Rashemi, so they should be forewarned.
* '''Hilt's Reward''': In thanks for the party's aid in getting Xarannos to represent him in his accusation against Zelza, he told them that Fredd, a proprietor of The Shaved Coin in The Below, keeps a chest of rubies that they both gathered by using a portal to a mineral-rich pocket of the Elemental Plane of Earth. This portal lies below the fighting pits and the key is blood, so it's usually open. Hilt is also a senator of Ribcage now.
* '''A Wedding on the Wind''': The party will be invited to Ember and Zekir al-Suhail's wedding. They'll hear his voice in the wind. A greater boon was promised. This will be in two years during his coronation.
* '''The Writer''': Atrus, an author of Ages, seeks to write a linking book to a location that can cure any ailment, including Glenn's. This may take him until the month of Kythorn. He had granted the party a linking book labeled "Myst", which they could use to visit him. The tram code is half of the clocktower's set time.
* '''The Bewildered Horse''': Barnaby, the awakened horse, was not at the Velvet Harness the last two visits. Barnaby will return.
* '''The Nyaning Leonin''': Rescued from certain doom on Mirrodin, Shadespine has run off to the Rashemi Berserker Lodge to join them.
* '''The Coven and the Monolith''' Lilia's coven will soon make way for the Grove of Stars to study it and the Monolith. They owe Lilia for this opportunity, and for rescuing Elowen.
* '''The Swordmaster's Road''' Cyrus, Glenn's swordmaster, will likely have been teleported to the War Wizards of Cormyr by Galdren's teleportation circle. He'll make way to Glenn's old keep to see it restored.

=== Visions ===
* ''(Averted)'' '''The Diviner's Prize''': Tharos Orakul's eyes staring at Octavius as he touches the Monolith inside of a grand tower. This diversion shattered divination implements across Faerun.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Convergence of Seasons''': Cedani and three other eladrin — Summer, Spring, and Autumn — navigating a bog as dark shapes surround them.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Blue Fire Falls''': Blue fire crisscrossing the sky, lines burning as Faerûn screams.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Moon in His Arm''': Diedric wielding Selûne in his left arm.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Elder Shadow''': A colossal brain hovering over a city on the Sword Coast, many tendrils hanging down.
* ''(Unlikely Future)'' '''The Psion's Crown''': Uchu, resolute, placing a silver helmet with silver cables attached — as neon explosions appear behind him.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Skycleaver''': A colossal axe parting the clouds.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Crown of Daggers''': Unit 137 wearing a crown of daggers as a legion of devils cheer.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Melting Wings''': Devil wings melting in water.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Frog and the Falcon''': A frog riding a falcon over foggy green hills.
* ''(Happened — planeswalker spark ignition)'' '''The Fire Within''': A flame burning Octavius from within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Obelisk Laid Low''': The obelisk lying on its side in the sunlight.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Parting of Stars''': Lilia throwing her arms to the side, stars following her command and splitting the sky in twain.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Gauntlet of Golden Nails''': Diedric struggling to breathe as a hand bearing a strange gauntlet -- five rings, joined by golden chains, terminating in a golden nail on each finger -- lifted him up.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Marching Dead''': Undead shuffling in great masses, Thaymount erupting in the background.
* ''(Happened)'' '''Ten Seconds From Now''': An ogre crashing through the trees, charging at Octavius as he turns from facing the Monolith… ten seconds from now.
* ''(Future)'' '''Winter Comes to the Grove''': The Grove of Stars. Kissethkashaan, enraged, breathes a cone of cold in a sweeping pass. One of the faerzress crystals is already shattered. Two wychlaran triplets shatter to ice. The Monolith of Stars begins to crack under the cold — and a yellow light emanates from a large crack, implying something within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Red Rage''': Uchu and Cedani stand back-to-back in a bog beneath a dark fey sky as three hags approach from all sides. Dead eladrin of various seasons are scattered around them, sinking. Uchu looks to Cedani, who nods grimly. His glowing blue eyes and blue daggers turn red and he begins howling in a berserker rage.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Lich-Queen's Audience''': Hovering in the Astral Plane: a bald Red Wizard, Tharos Orakul, bowing and coughing blood as a colossal undead githyanki woman sits on a throne, examining her hand, projecting boredom while failing to conceal a glint in her eye. She notices Octavius before the vision fades.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Chorus of Stones''': B'ian Ch'k Ch'k kneels shirtless inside of a low wagon as dozens of sending stones begin vibrating all at once, voices whispering and shouting in various languages. He turns as he hears screaming outside.

=== B'ian Fact Facts ===
* In 1368 DR, B'ian Ch'k Ch'k hid ''inside'' a Candlekeep bookshelf during the doppelganger purge in the wake of the Bhaalspawn.
* In 1370 DR, B'ian Ch'k Ch'k was gifted a traveling wagon by the halfling nation of Luiren for his assistance in averting a flooding crisis. It was engineered by a halfling knight of Gond.

=== Consequences ===
* '''The Mirth of the Ironjaws''': With Hulmarra Ironjaw's death, and the burning of Ironjaw's Mirth, her surviving 11 sisters are likely to have heard of the events by now.
* '''The Charmed Guard:''' Thenn, the Thayan guard charmed during the escape from the Red Wizard wagons, was taken as prisoner by Imzel. He now lives as a servant to a woman in the Grove of Stars that is foreseen to be his wife. It's an awkward relationship.
* '''The Grand Concordance''': Aristeus, a mathematician culturally spending his last days in the Astral Plane, was aided by the party who recovered a variable for him from a memory entity. His allowed him to complete a masterwork that describes the Four Compulsions and the Veil. It seems of important scientific and philosophical importance.
* '''The Silver Skiff''': Vlaakith grows irked by the unanswered theft, three fireballed githyanki, a lost apprentice, the loss of Gaath's ambush team, with one of the apprentices banished and being specifically told to "Tell Vlaakith to leave us alone!". Octavius's vision of an ill Tharos Orakul groveling before her may be of greater import however.
* '''The Lost Githyanki''': Viran, apprentice of Kith'rak Gaath, was led astray by the Alley Reapers in his pursuit of the party and is likely imprisoned in the plane of Carceri.
* '''The Doomed Noble:''' The sickly noble on a balcony in Ribcage is probably super, super dead by now. He's been replaced by a younger noble, flanked by the same red and green cambion ladies.
* '''A Hag Remembers''': The Moss Hag's scheme to secure souls with Luciel foiled, she set a trap whilst Luciel fled the city.
* '''The Alley Reapers:''' They believe Cedani is an agent for a person named Boppel, the "high-up man". They were paying her a cut of their take in the Hive Ward. While she's no longer with the party, they will consider them associates.
* '''Yan-C-in-the-Bin''': Yan-C-Bin will not soon forget the defeat of his avatar at the hands of interlopers from the Prime Material Plane.
* '''The Djinn Prince''': Rescued from a sacrifial rite, the Prince gifted the party a Carpet of Flying and promised great gifts on his wedding day.
* '''The Kobold Pilgrimage''': Spared by Diedric, kobolds worshipping Yan-C-Bin fled back to their tempestuous homeworld, now guided by a familiar moon goddess.
* '''The Telthor of Stars''': Diviners clashed and Tharos was robbed of his fate of securing the Monolith of Stars via a route in the Underdark. The Telthor still lives within, watching over the Rashemi as their tribes unite to select a new Iron Lord. Grimsnarl, an awakened wolf, invited the party's voices in selecting the next Iron Lord as the lodges gather. His own pick: "a simpleton, but his dajemma is legendary -- he travels still with the child of Bhaal on the Sword Coast."
* '''The Drow Wizardress''': Murdered by Octavius, Aunrae Drezz'Lynur was freelancing while under the guise of serving Matron Zorratha. In reality, she was playing Tharos and the duergar against each other. Matron Zorratha wonders what came of the Monolith.
* '''The Unpaid Duergar''': Expecting a payment for pick-up and delivery of the Monolith of Stars, the duergar just found an empty battleground and their gold missing.
* '''The Breaking of Threxzadur''': Octavius willingly drank of a trapped tanar'ri's power, freeing it and then defeating it. It will be reborn in the Abyss.
* '''Eight-legged Freedom''': Freed from their bonds, the goblin's infant ice spiders traveled north, to the icy mountain from which their eggs were stolen.
* '''Vix's Crown''': Sneaking through a sprawling goblin country, the party helped Vix the white kobold steal a Tuigan Helm of Command from the goblin leader.
* '''The Surviving Crossbowman''': Erik the eye-patched crossbowman was rescued from freezing to death by the party. He has foresworn adventuring and claims to be retiring.
* '''The Blood Sorceress''': Qualm and the rest of the dragon slaying party perished in Kissethkashaan's lair. The party happily looted them.
* '''The Rescued Coven-sister''': Elowen Stonereach, an offering of blood to the white dragon by the Nanraak Goblins, was rescued and whisked away. She makes way to the Dalelands to meet with her coven, who will likely travel to The Monolith of Stars to study it.
* '''The White Wyrm's Due''': Angered by the previous dragonslaying party's attempt on his life and another party escaping with his tribute, Kissethkashaan plots his revenge, remembering that one of the members of the first group was of Rashemi descent.
* '''The Piked Halfling''': Finn Fatfoot was charmed into giving up his dreamsilk and giving up Zhentarim secrets. He is on the run from authorities.
* '''The Cleansing of Hullack Forest''': A mindflayer cell, which had fled something in the Underdark, was eliminated by the party. Glenn (with the help of Shrieker) also drove the Zhentarim from his family's keep and had his curse removed. Drenn, the drow wizard in charge of this Zhentarim compound, gave the party information as to Manshoon's plans in Chuult in exchange for his life.
* '''Shrieker''': Glenn's father's Ranger General of his armies continues to patrol the region around Thunderstone, bringing justice to those that the Purple Dragon Knights cannot. Her shrieks in the night bring comfort to children and woe to brigrands. A Tuigan woman mentioned seeing her on the battlefield when Cormyr fought in an alliance against the Tuigan horde, referring to her as Glenn's father's "paramour" who saved him from an ambush. She can be summoned by lighting two pyres on the northern towers near the bridge to Hullack Forest.
* '''The Silver Blade''': Kith'rak Gaath had his entire githyanki strike force ambushed the party but were defeated. Gaath retreated, but had to leave his sword behind.
* '''Blessed Grains''': Lilia blessed the fields of the Tuigan people in an extended ritual, ensuring a bountiful harvest.
* '''The Imaskari Altar''': The party fought through sahuagin priests and destroyed an ancient Imaskari Altar that could animate undead thanks to a link to the Plane of Negative Energy.
* '''Peace on the Endless Wastes''': Peace was brokered between the Fankiang Traditionalists and Hubadai Loyalists, with the Fankiang receiving a seven year deal where they would patrol and tax the Golden Way. The Fankiang agreed to assist with Thay, and the Hubadai representative said he would bring it before their leader in Kourmira.
* '''The Justice of Hoar''': The head of Qara Sarn, a Fankiang member who attempted to leave Khan Borcha to her death, was served to Hoar as recompense for the slaying of one of his paladins. He accepted with three thunderstrikes, and Lureene Amblecrown assured that they had secured the Hoar Order's aid against Thay.
* '''Ribcage, Under New Management''': Uncovering Zelza's scheme to plunge Ribcage into the Nine Hells, Xarannos was installed as interim Duke of Ribcage. Zelza was consumed by Bel.
* '''The Third Hell's Door''': A portal to the third layer of the Nine Hells is now publicly known and guarded in the Beetle Bazaar. It's near a woman's burned-down shop. Don't say your favorite color.
* '''A Hag Still Remembers''': The Moss Hag swam through the mire of Minauros, fleeing as the party survived her trap, stole her soul coins, and even freed her Catoblepas. She may yet seek revenge or move on to safer prey.
* '''Tessavyr's Debt''': A rilmani, pinned to the earth by infernal spikes placed by a circle of succubi working for Zelza, thanked the party for its freedom, stating that they just need call its name toward the Spire should they ever need aid.

=== Curiosities ===
* '''The Unpowered Golem''': This still sits abandoned in the flooded depths of the Imaskari Tomb. The party also looted an Anti-Divinity Orb from the same location.
* '''The Unnamed Scholar''': The party looted the body of a female ghoul scholar with a bronze circlet, stuffing her into their Bag of Holding for later Speak-with-Dead questioning. They then proceeded to forget about it.
* '''The Bronze Rib''': A Bronze Rib in Minauros proves to be a foil to teleportation magic, although it did not look easy to move.
* '''Aunrae's Spellbook''': Aside from the Teleportation Circle spell, the dead drow's spellbook also had a loose sheet of sigils for all ten Undrek'Thoz drow-city states and the duergar city of Fraaszummdin.
* '''The Ring''': Galdren asked Diedric if Azhar, Diedric's adopted father and financier of his estate, still bore a ring with gemstones, and how many there were. Diedric confirmed there were two rubies with one inset blank. Galdren looked relieved.
* '''The Time-Skip Doppelganger''': Investigating a darkness at the heart of Thay, Galden and Navarra traced it to a doppelganger impersonating an Aglarond noble, and mid-interrogation they experienced a skip in time (candles instantly burned low) and the doppelganger was disintegrated to ash.
* '''The Interventionist Deva''': Zariel seemed like the crankiest out of the bunch at the Pavilion of Courage.

== The Story So Far ==

<div class="story-book">
<div class="story-box">
<p class="story-title">Chapter 1: Memory</p>
A group of diverse adventurers, each on their own path, found themselves at '''Ironjaw's Mirth''' on the Thay-Rashemen border. Their chance meeting was interrupted by the '''Red Wizards of Thay''', led by Vezim Sepret, who '''captured everyone''' in retaliation for losses at the Grove of Stars.

Now mired in the conflict between Thay and Rashemen and en route to a slave camp, '''the party escaped''' with aid from '''Imzel Ulmokina''', a Wychlaran druid. A letter on Vezim revealed orders from '''Tharos Orakul, High Diviner of Surthay''', to slay '''"the owl"''' and capture '''"the amphibian"''' for study.

Imzel directed them to Lirensk to meet '''Galdren Murendar''', an ally against the Red Wizards. After a perilous journey across Lake Mulsantir, where they battled quippergulls and a Gelatinous Cube, they met Galdren, '''a rebel Red Wizard''' working to reform Thay. '''He tasked them with acquiring a Grand Sensory Stone from Sigil''', the City of Doors, casting their souls into the Astral Plane.

In the '''Astral Plane''', they helped a '''mathematician''' retrieve a variable stolen by a benign memory entity. Then, they escaped '''githyanki''' pursuers through a color pool to '''The Outlands''' -- after stealing their silver. Guided by a kind bariaur's words, they journeyed towards Sigil, encountering various planar entities (including water-sharing petitioners, imps, and a '''Rogue Modron''') and ultimately reached '''Ribcage''', the gate-town to the Nine Hells.

In Ribcage, they engaged in various intrigues: upgrading a Rogue Modron with infernal silver, binding an '''imp''' into servitude with the help of a '''slaad advocate''', aiding a falsely accused man, uncovering a '''cambion's''' scheme with a '''hag''', and participating in a Blood War skirmish. They finally found passage to '''Sigil''' beneath a bar stool.

In Sigil, they discovered '''Cedani's grandmother's''' ruined poetry shop and defeated the '''Summer Eladrin''' responsible. After recovering from near-death, they met with faction representatives and negotiated with '''Niara''', a Sensate Factotum, for a '''Grand Sensory Stone in exchange for locating Ember'''.

Their search brought them to The Velvet Harness inn, where a '''pegasus''' and '''deva''' led them to a vortex to the '''Elemental Plane of Air'''. There, they survived a harrowing fall with '''Ember''''s help, learning to navigate a realm where direction is a matter of perception. They landed in the courtyard of the '''Palace of the Winds''', a majestic djinn stronghold.

There, they agreed to help rescue a '''trapped djinn''' from the clutches of '''kobolds''', defeating the '''Avatar of Yan-C-Bin'''.

Victorious, they returned to Sigil, and acquired the '''Grand Sensory Stone''' at last. Joining factions and receiving pay from '''The Alley Reapers''', they returned to their bodies in '''The Rebel Estate'''.

Grateful, Galdren rewarded them with '''vast sums of jink''', a Weave-attuned sextant, and explained that he planned to use the stone to '''capture the memories of a deceased person''' who has information invaluable to their cause.

He bid the heroes rest, for now.

<div class="story-box">
<p class="story-title">Chapter 2: Convergence</p>
Returning from their astral journey with the '''Grand Sensory Stone''', the party awoke at '''The Rebel Estate''' to visions of '''Tharos Orakul''' warning '''Octavius''' away from Thay. '''Cedani''' departed for the Feywild, while '''Lilia Corydalis''', a starry witch seeking her missing coven sister, joined the group.

Sent to '''Urlingwood''' to cure '''Glenn's''' curse, the '''Wychlaran''' declared the barbs needed to be removed where they were cast. At the '''Monolith of Stars''', visions of fractured futures preceded a goblinoid assault. In the chaos, '''Octavius's''' latent '''planeswalker spark''' ignited, pulling them through the '''Blind Eternities''' to '''Mirrodin''' before willing them home.

Pursuing the stolen Monolith into the '''Underdark''', they uncovered drow treachery, slew the ogre assassin '''Vaergath''', and returned the relic to '''Urlingwood'''—shattering divination tools across the continent. In the '''High Country''', they freed and destroyed the demon '''Threxzadur''', then rescued '''Elowen Stonereach''' from the maw of '''Kissethkashaan''', the White Wyrm, escaping through another desperate planeswalk.

In '''Cormyr''', they infiltrated '''Phaulkon Manor''', battled '''illithid''' in '''Hullack Forest''', and finally broke '''Glenn's''' curse where '''Manshoon''' had cast it. '''Glenn''' emerged transformed, embracing both his nobility and his frog nature. '''Githyanki''' seekers arrived and were driven off; '''Kith'rak Gaath''' fled without his silver blade.

Flying east to the '''Endless Wastes''', they joined a paladin's quest for vengeance among warring '''Tuigan''' tribes. Beneath the '''Lake of Mists''', they destroyed an '''Imaskari''' altar of reanimation, collapsing its undead horde. The treacherous '''Qara Sarn's''' head became tribute to '''Hoar''', securing both tribes and the paladin order as allies.

'''Galdren''' revealed his purpose: capturing the memories of '''Navarra''', an ally slain by '''Tharos''' who knew of a weapon in the '''Fell Tower''' in a desert of '''purple sands'''. At her grave, his ritual bound her memories into the '''Grand Sensory Stone'''. He charged the heroes to carry it into the '''Outer Planes''', find her spirit, and deliver it—with '''Ember''' and her broken blue-tinted mask as their guides.

Bearing orb and mask into the '''Astral Plane''' and out through the '''Turquoise Color Pool''', they crossed a reshaped '''Outlands''' and the orchards of '''Sheela Peryroyl'''. Within sight of '''Ribcage''' they freed '''Tessavyr''', a rilmani pinned to the roadside by infernal spikes, who named a favor owed and bid them call toward the '''Spire'''.

In the city, '''Glenn's''' cheerful shout of "Green!" spoke the key to a hidden portal, dropping the party into '''Minauros''', where '''The Moss Hag''' loosed a dire troll in revenge for her ruined schemes. They shattered it, plundered her lair of thirty-three '''soul coins''', and burned her shop on their return.

'''Xarannos''' now ruled Ribcage, '''Zelza''' having been eaten by '''Bel'''. '''Unit 137's''' hellfire freed three innocent souls from the hag's coins. Passing to '''Sigil''' through the stool at '''The Bleeding Horn''', '''Diedric''' was pulled aside to stand before '''Selûne''' as the kobolds of '''The Howling Island''' reached home at last, and was named '''Favored'''. '''Ember''' sent them beneath the Cage to find the spirit-seeker '''Vistra Runehall'''.

Her trail led through '''Vos'Ultok''' to the deva '''Galenthias''', who carried them to '''Lunia''', where the pit lord '''Sulphaxus''' rose from the holy waters mortal and redeemed. At the '''Pavilion of Courage''' they learned Vistra hunts the spectre of a carpenter who betrayed a rebel to save a family he lost anyway. Through '''Khorvas's Pool''' they swam into '''Karasuthra''', the eternal midnight of the '''Beastlands''', a day and a half behind her.

== (Known) Active Plot Threads ==
''Last updated: 2026-07-30''

=== Main Quest: Seeking Navarra ===
* '''The Rebel Wizard''': Galdren Murendar, a rebel Red Wizard, seeks to undermine Thay to reform it. To this end, he has tasked the party with finding Navarra, a deceased ally. He seeks to reunite her spirit with her captured memories so he can find a way into the Fell Tower, in the Plains of Purple Dust, which is rumored to house a powerful weapon.
* '''The Spirit Seeker''': The party is currently tracking Vistra, a Spirit Seeker, in order to find Navarra's spirit. She is in Karasuthra in the Beastlands.
* '''Andren's Ledger''': Vistra is currently tracking the spirit of Andren, a man who betrayed his friend Tovaal in a failed attempt to save his family. She is on a contract from the Mercykillers.

=== Side Quests ===
* '''Hunting the Slavers''': Imzel Ulmokina, the druid that freed the party from captivity, was last heard to have been following the rest of the slave wagons, tracking them to their destination.
* '''Lake Mulsantir''': The lake south of Lirensk still suffers from Red Wizards having introduced aberrations in a past skirmish with the Rashemi.
* '''The Phaulkon-bane''': The clone of Manshoon who had assailed Glenn's keep is known to be heading for Chult, using the funds he made to hire the priests of Ubtao to transfer his soul to another body before this one fails him.
* '''Walking the Paths''': The party has learned of many paths (at least six) that can be tread to ascend the hierarchy of Mount Celestia. They need make a pledge to a representative of a Power to start their journey and may be asked to make a sacrifice. Upon walking the path, they will gain +2 to a chosen attribute.
* '''Namers and Berks''': Party members may seek to further their standing with their preferred Sigil faction, which may grant special abilities and privileges.
* '''The Monolith of Stars''': Still safe, it invites academic and divination study.
* '''The Elfmound''': Drenn, the drow wizard spared at Phaulkon Manor, spoke of a Permanency spell and other Netherese magics he found at The Elfmound.

=== Party Member Paths ===
* '''The Planeswalker''': Octavius's planeswalker spark ignited and his fastbond to lands he visits continues to increase his power, collecting fragments of planes to revisit them more easily. He seeks to write a dissertation on the extinct Batrachi race, and has a Weave-Attuned Sextant ready to deliver to a Slaad in Sigil who is interested in its study, as he feels it may draw a connection between the Batrachi race and all Slaad.
* '''A Curse Turned Boon''': Glenn embraced his frog form as his curse was cured, gaining the ability to "wield it as a shield" as his father taught him. He idly joked that he should "start collecting curses".
* '''Favored of Selune''': Blessed by the Moon Goddess for his leading of the lost, Diedric has been named Favored. This connection may continue to grow.
* '''Touched by a Telthor''': Having served as a host for the Telthor of Stars, Lilia can now conjure its constellation around her. As she continues to study stars from other planes, she may grow to understand the strange ones in the night sky above the Monolith, as they do not match that of Faerun's. She has secured access to the Grove of Stars for her coven-sisters, who may relocate once Elowen reaches them with the news.
* '''The Caltrop's Covenant''': Unit 137 continues to show more Hellish influence, including the ability to summon Happy, a tortured lemure, and sporting a pentagram inscribed on his form. In exchange for his infernal immortality, Unit 137 has incurred a debt to the hells and will need to serve them for 666 days at some point in the future.
* '''The Piked Contract''': Smokescale battles with the philosophy of being indentured to a bunch of piking level-headed bloods. Do his chains even matter anymore? His speaking circle truth was "I really want to corrupt the owl, drag him down to my level".

=== Prior Party Members ===
* '''The Star of the Climbing Warrior''': Uchu Buredo, in company of Cedani, continues to seek a way to his home world of Tsunadehoshi. His lead is that a "Vine-Warrior" was spotted in The Velvet Harness by the pegasus Kai. (God the DM did a lot of worldbuilding for this shit.) He also seeks revenge on Vex'riath, the githyanki creche leader of Zar'kash's Forge, who also escaped and survived as that spelljammer ship was destroyed by Uchu's psionic awakening.
* '''Smoke on the Water''': Cedani, having received an urgent message from Soveliss, sought to rescue him from peril. He had been on the way to Evermeet to seek Tharos's true name and had asked of Cedani for a delivery of a scale from a white abishai before being captured by unknown assailants. Diedric (during a session he missed) assisted them, rescuing him from a Troll's cookpot by trading a useless bauble. Cedani and Uchu then proceeded to the Feywild, where her patron had called for a meeting of the seasons in response to her poetry shop being burned down by the summer eladrin Aula. Octavius had subsequently seen visions of Cedani and Uchu in Minauros, being surrounded by hags and the corpses of dead eladrin of various seasons. Uchu's eyes turned red.
* '''The Pursued and Pursuer''': Chai evades cultists pursuing her for her Changeling heritage. She accompanies Cove to the Sea of Fallen Stars, where she seeks to find the prison island that she escaped as a child.

=== Pending ===
* '''The High Diviner''': Tharos Orakul, deprived of the Monolith, continues to suffer from a wasting disease. In desperation, he has met with the Githyanki.
* '''The Foreseen Assault''' Octavius foresaw an attack on the monolith by Kissethkashaan, likely in the month of Flamerule (two months after Mirtul). The vision showed one faerzress crystal already shattered, two wychlaran triplets freezing and shattering, and the Monolith cracking with a yellow light emanating from the crack, hinting at something within. This was shared with Galdren, who said he'd warn the Rashemi, so they should be forewarned.
* '''Hilt's Reward''': In thanks for the party's aid in getting Xarannos to represent him in his accusation against Zelza, he told them that Fredd, a proprietor of The Shaved Coin in The Below, keeps a chest of rubies that they both gathered by using a portal to a mineral-rich pocket of the Elemental Plane of Earth. This portal lies below the fighting pits and the key is blood, so it's usually open. Hilt is also a senator of Ribcage now.
* '''A Wedding on the Wind''': The party will be invited to Ember and Zekir al-Suhail's wedding. They'll hear his voice in the wind. A greater boon was promised. This will be in two years during his coronation.
* '''The Writer''': Atrus, an author of Ages, seeks to write a linking book to a location that can cure any ailment, including Glenn's. This may take him until the month of Kythorn. He had granted the party a linking book labeled "Myst", which they could use to visit him. The tram code is half of the clocktower's set time.
* '''The Bewildered Horse''': Barnaby, the awakened horse, was not at the Velvet Harness the last two visits. Barnaby will return.
* '''The Nyaning Leonin''': Rescued from certain doom on Mirrodin, Shadespine has run off to the Rashemi Berserker Lodge to join them.
* '''The Coven and the Monolith''' Lilia's coven will soon make way for the Grove of Stars to study it and the Monolith. They owe Lilia for this opportunity, and for rescuing Elowen.
* '''The Swordmaster's Road''' Cyrus, Glenn's swordmaster, will likely have been teleported to the War Wizards of Cormyr by Galdren's teleportation circle. He'll make way to Glenn's old keep to see it restored.

=== Visions ===
* ''(Averted)'' '''The Diviner's Prize''': Tharos Orakul's eyes staring at Octavius as he touches the Monolith inside of a grand tower. This diversion shattered divination implements across Faerun.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Convergence of Seasons''': Cedani and three other eladrin — Summer, Spring, and Autumn — navigating a bog as dark shapes surround them.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Blue Fire Falls''': Blue fire crisscrossing the sky, lines burning as Faerûn screams.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Moon in His Arm''': Diedric wielding Selûne in his left arm.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Elder Shadow''': A colossal brain hovering over a city on the Sword Coast, many tendrils hanging down.
* ''(Unlikely Future)'' '''The Psion's Crown''': Uchu, resolute, placing a silver helmet with silver cables attached — as neon explosions appear behind him.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Skycleaver''': A colossal axe parting the clouds.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Crown of Daggers''': Unit 137 wearing a crown of daggers as a legion of devils cheer.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Melting Wings''': Devil wings melting in water.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Frog and the Falcon''': A frog riding a falcon over foggy green hills.
* ''(Happened — planeswalker spark ignition)'' '''The Fire Within''': A flame burning Octavius from within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Obelisk Laid Low''': The obelisk lying on its side in the sunlight.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Parting of Stars''': Lilia throwing her arms to the side, stars following her command and splitting the sky in twain.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Gauntlet of Golden Nails''': Diedric struggling to breathe as a hand bearing a strange gauntlet -- five rings, joined by golden chains, terminating in a golden nail on each finger -- lifted him up.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Marching Dead''': Undead shuffling in great masses, Thaymount erupting in the background.
* ''(Happened)'' '''Ten Seconds From Now''': An ogre crashing through the trees, charging at Octavius as he turns from facing the Monolith… ten seconds from now.
* ''(Future)'' '''Winter Comes to the Grove''': The Grove of Stars. Kissethkashaan, enraged, breathes a cone of cold in a sweeping pass. One of the faerzress crystals is already shattered. Two wychlaran triplets shatter to ice. The Monolith of Stars begins to crack under the cold — and a yellow light emanates from a large crack, implying something within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Red Rage''': Uchu and Cedani stand back-to-back in a bog beneath a dark fey sky as three hags approach from all sides. Dead eladrin of various seasons are scattered around them, sinking. Uchu looks to Cedani, who nods grimly. His glowing blue eyes and blue daggers turn red and he begins howling in a berserker rage.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Lich-Queen's Audience''': Hovering in the Astral Plane: a bald Red Wizard, Tharos Orakul, bowing and coughing blood as a colossal undead githyanki woman sits on a throne, examining her hand, projecting boredom while failing to conceal a glint in her eye. She notices Octavius before the vision fades.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Chorus of Stones''': B'ian Ch'k Ch'k kneels shirtless inside of a low wagon as dozens of sending stones begin vibrating all at once, voices whispering and shouting in various languages. He turns as he hears screaming outside.

=== B'ian Fact Facts ===
* In 1368 DR, B'ian Ch'k Ch'k hid ''inside'' a Candlekeep bookshelf during the doppelganger purge in the wake of the Bhaalspawn.
* In 1370 DR, B'ian Ch'k Ch'k was gifted a traveling wagon by the halfling nation of Luiren for his assistance in averting a flooding crisis. It was engineered by a halfling knight of Gond.

=== Consequences ===
* '''The Mirth of the Ironjaws''': With Hulmarra Ironjaw's death, and the burning of Ironjaw's Mirth, her surviving 11 sisters are likely to have heard of the events by now.
* '''The Charmed Guard:''' Thenn, the Thayan guard charmed during the escape from the Red Wizard wagons, was taken as prisoner by Imzel. He now lives as a servant to a woman in the Grove of Stars that is foreseen to be his wife. It's an awkward relationship.
* '''The Grand Concordance''': Aristeus, a mathematician culturally spending his last days in the Astral Plane, was aided by the party who recovered a variable for him from a memory entity. His allowed him to complete a masterwork that describes the Four Compulsions and the Veil. It seems of important scientific and philosophical importance.
* '''The Silver Skiff''': Vlaakith grows irked by the unanswered theft, three fireballed githyanki, a lost apprentice, the loss of Gaath's ambush team, with one of the apprentices banished and being specifically told to "Tell Vlaakith to leave us alone!". Octavius's vision of an ill Tharos Orakul groveling before her may be of greater import however.
* '''The Lost Githyanki''': Viran, apprentice of Kith'rak Gaath, was led astray by the Alley Reapers in his pursuit of the party and is likely imprisoned in the plane of Carceri.
* '''The Doomed Noble:''' The sickly noble on a balcony in Ribcage is probably super, super dead by now. He's been replaced by a younger noble, flanked by the same red and green cambion ladies.
* '''A Hag Remembers''': The Moss Hag's scheme to secure souls with Luciel foiled, she set a trap whilst Luciel fled the city.
* '''The Alley Reapers:''' They believe Cedani is an agent for a person named Boppel, the "high-up man". They were paying her a cut of their take in the Hive Ward. While she's no longer with the party, they will consider them associates.
* '''Yan-C-in-the-Bin''': Yan-C-Bin will not soon forget the defeat of his avatar at the hands of interlopers from the Prime Material Plane.
* '''The Djinn Prince''': Rescued from a sacrifial rite, the Prince gifted the party a Carpet of Flying and promised great gifts on his wedding day.
* '''The Kobold Pilgrimage''': Spared by Diedric, kobolds worshipping Yan-C-Bin fled back to their tempestuous homeworld, now guided by a familiar moon goddess.
* '''The Telthor of Stars''': Diviners clashed and Tharos was robbed of his fate of securing the Monolith of Stars via a route in the Underdark. The Telthor still lives within, watching over the Rashemi as their tribes unite to select a new Iron Lord. Grimsnarl, an awakened wolf, invited the party's voices in selecting the next Iron Lord as the lodges gather. His own pick: "a simpleton, but his dajemma is legendary -- he travels still with the child of Bhaal on the Sword Coast."
* '''The Drow Wizardress''': Murdered by Octavius, Aunrae Drezz'Lynur was freelancing while under the guise of serving Matron Zorratha. In reality, she was playing Tharos and the duergar against each other. Matron Zorratha wonders what came of the Monolith.
* '''The Unpaid Duergar''': Expecting a payment for pick-up and delivery of the Monolith of Stars, the duergar just found an empty battleground and their gold missing.
* '''The Breaking of Threxzadur''': Octavius willingly drank of a trapped tanar'ri's power, freeing it and then defeating it. It will be reborn in the Abyss.
* '''Eight-legged Freedom''': Freed from their bonds, the goblin's infant ice spiders traveled north, to the icy mountain from which their eggs were stolen.
* '''Vix's Crown''': Sneaking through a sprawling goblin country, the party helped Vix the white kobold steal a Tuigan Helm of Command from the goblin leader.
* '''The Surviving Crossbowman''': Erik the eye-patched crossbowman was rescued from freezing to death by the party. He has foresworn adventuring and claims to be retiring.
* '''The Blood Sorceress''': Qualm and the rest of the dragon slaying party perished in Kissethkashaan's lair. The party happily looted them.
* '''The Rescued Coven-sister''': Elowen Stonereach, an offering of blood to the white dragon by the Nanraak Goblins, was rescued and whisked away. She makes way to the Dalelands to meet with her coven, who will likely travel to The Monolith of Stars to study it.
* '''The White Wyrm's Due''': Angered by the previous dragonslaying party's attempt on his life and another party escaping with his tribute, Kissethkashaan plots his revenge, remembering that one of the members of the first group was of Rashemi descent.
* '''The Piked Halfling''': Finn Fatfoot was charmed into giving up his dreamsilk and giving up Zhentarim secrets. He is on the run from authorities.
* '''The Cleansing of Hullack Forest''': A mindflayer cell, which had fled something in the Underdark, was eliminated by the party. Glenn (with the help of Shrieker) also drove the Zhentarim from his family's keep and had his curse removed. Drenn, the drow wizard in charge of this Zhentarim compound, gave the party information as to Manshoon's plans in Chuult in exchange for his life.
* '''Shrieker''': Glenn's father's Ranger General of his armies continues to patrol the region around Thunderstone, bringing justice to those that the Purple Dragon Knights cannot. Her shrieks in the night bring comfort to children and woe to brigrands. A Tuigan woman mentioned seeing her on the battlefield when Cormyr fought in an alliance against the Tuigan horde, referring to her as Glenn's father's "paramour" who saved him from an ambush. She can be summoned by lighting two pyres on the northern towers near the bridge to Hullack Forest.
* '''The Silver Blade''': Kith'rak Gaath had his entire githyanki strike force ambushed the party but were defeated. Gaath retreated, but had to leave his sword behind.
* '''Blessed Grains''': Lilia blessed the fields of the Tuigan people in an extended ritual, ensuring a bountiful harvest.
* '''The Imaskari Altar''': The party fought through sahuagin priests and destroyed an ancient Imaskari Altar that could animate undead thanks to a link to the Plane of Negative Energy.
* '''Peace on the Endless Wastes''': Peace was brokered between the Fankiang Traditionalists and Hubadai Loyalists, with the Fankiang receiving a seven year deal where they would patrol and tax the Golden Way. The Fankiang agreed to assist with Thay, and the Hubadai representative said he would bring it before their leader in Kourmira.
* '''The Justice of Hoar''': The head of Qara Sarn, a Fankiang member who attempted to leave Khan Borcha to her death, was served to Hoar as recompense for the slaying of one of his paladins. He accepted with three thunderstrikes, and Lureene Amblecrown assured that they had secured the Hoar Order's aid against Thay.
* '''Ribcage, Under New Management''': Uncovering Zelza's scheme to plunge Ribcage into the Nine Hells, Xarannos was installed as interim Duke of Ribcage. Zelza was consumed by Bel.
* '''The Third Hell's Door''': A portal to the third layer of the Nine Hells is now publicly known and guarded in the Beetle Bazaar. It's near a woman's burned-down shop. Don't say your favorite color.
* '''A Hag Still Remembers''': The Moss Hag swam through the mire of Minauros, fleeing as the party survived her trap, stole her soul coins, and even freed her Catoblepas. She may yet seek revenge or move on to safer prey.
* '''Tessavyr's Debt''': A rilmani, pinned to the earth by infernal spikes placed by a circle of succubi working for Zelza, thanked the party for its freedom, stating that they just need call its name toward the Spire should they ever need aid.

=== Curiosities ===
* '''The Unpowered Golem''': This still sits abandoned in the flooded depths of the Imaskari Tomb. The party also looted an Anti-Divinity Orb from the same location.
* '''The Unnamed Scholar''': The party looted the body of a female ghoul scholar with a bronze circlet, stuffing her into their Bag of Holding for later Speak-with-Dead questioning. They then proceeded to forget about it.
* '''The Bronze Rib''': A Bronze Rib in Minauros proves to be a foil to teleportation magic, although it did not look easy to move.
* '''Aunrae's Spellbook''': Aside from the Teleportation Circle spell, the dead drow's spellbook also had a loose sheet of sigils for all ten Undrek'Thoz drow-city states and the duergar city of Fraaszummdin.
* '''The Ring''': Galdren asked Diedric if Azhar, Diedric's adopted father and financier of his estate, still bore a ring with gemstones, and how many there were. Diedric confirmed there were two rubies with one inset blank. Galdren looked relieved.
* '''The Time-Skip Doppelganger''': Investigating a darkness at the heart of Thay, Galden and Navarra traced it to a doppelganger impersonating an Aglarond noble, and mid-interrogation they experienced a skip in time (candles instantly burned low) and the doppelganger was disintegrated to ash.
* '''The Interventionist Deva''': Zariel seemed like the crankiest out of the bunch at the Pavilion of Courage.

== The Story So Far ==

<div class="story-book">
<div class="story-box">
<p class="story-title">Chapter 1: Memory</p>
A group of diverse adventurers, each on their own path, found themselves at '''Ironjaw's Mirth''' on the Thay-Rashemen border. Their chance meeting was interrupted by the '''Red Wizards of Thay''', led by Vezim Sepret, who '''captured everyone''' in retaliation for losses at the Grove of Stars.

Now mired in the conflict between Thay and Rashemen and en route to a slave camp, '''the party escaped''' with aid from '''Imzel Ulmokina''', a Wychlaran druid. A letter on Vezim revealed orders from '''Tharos Orakul, High Diviner of Surthay''', to slay '''"the owl"''' and capture '''"the amphibian"''' for study.

Imzel directed them to Lirensk to meet '''Galdren Murendar''', an ally against the Red Wizards. After a perilous journey across Lake Mulsantir, where they battled quippergulls and a Gelatinous Cube, they met Galdren, '''a rebel Red Wizard''' working to reform Thay. '''He tasked them with acquiring a Grand Sensory Stone from Sigil''', the City of Doors, casting their souls into the Astral Plane.

In the '''Astral Plane''', they helped a '''mathematician''' retrieve a variable stolen by a benign memory entity. Then, they escaped '''githyanki''' pursuers through a color pool to '''The Outlands''' -- after stealing their silver. Guided by a kind bariaur's words, they journeyed towards Sigil, encountering various planar entities (including water-sharing petitioners, imps, and a '''Rogue Modron''') and ultimately reached '''Ribcage''', the gate-town to the Nine Hells.

In Ribcage, they engaged in various intrigues: upgrading a Rogue Modron with infernal silver, binding an '''imp''' into servitude with the help of a '''slaad advocate''', aiding a falsely accused man, uncovering a '''cambion's''' scheme with a '''hag''', and participating in a Blood War skirmish. They finally found passage to '''Sigil''' beneath a bar stool.

In Sigil, they discovered '''Cedani's grandmother's''' ruined poetry shop and defeated the '''Summer Eladrin''' responsible. After recovering from near-death, they met with faction representatives and negotiated with '''Niara''', a Sensate Factotum, for a '''Grand Sensory Stone in exchange for locating Ember'''.

Their search brought them to The Velvet Harness inn, where a '''pegasus''' and '''deva''' led them to a vortex to the '''Elemental Plane of Air'''. There, they survived a harrowing fall with '''Ember''''s help, learning to navigate a realm where direction is a matter of perception. They landed in the courtyard of the '''Palace of the Winds''', a majestic djinn stronghold.

There, they agreed to help rescue a '''trapped djinn''' from the clutches of '''kobolds''', defeating the '''Avatar of Yan-C-Bin'''.

Victorious, they returned to Sigil, and acquired the '''Grand Sensory Stone''' at last. Joining factions and receiving pay from '''The Alley Reapers''', they returned to their bodies in '''The Rebel Estate'''.

Grateful, Galdren rewarded them with '''vast sums of jink''', a Weave-attuned sextant, and explained that he planned to use the stone to '''capture the memories of a deceased person''' who has information invaluable to their cause.

He bid the heroes rest, for now.

<div class="story-box">
<p class="story-title">Chapter 2: Convergence</p>
Returning from their astral journey with the '''Grand Sensory Stone''', the party awoke at '''The Rebel Estate''' to visions of '''Tharos Orakul''' warning '''Octavius''' away from Thay. '''Cedani''' departed for the Feywild, while '''Lilia Corydalis''', a starry witch seeking her missing coven sister, joined the group.

Sent to '''Urlingwood''' to cure '''Glenn's''' curse, the '''Wychlaran''' declared the barbs needed to be removed where they were cast. At the '''Monolith of Stars''', visions of fractured futures preceded a goblinoid assault. In the chaos, '''Octavius's''' latent '''planeswalker spark''' ignited, pulling them through the '''Blind Eternities''' to '''Mirrodin''' before willing them home.

Pursuing the stolen Monolith into the '''Underdark''', they uncovered drow treachery, slew the ogre assassin '''Vaergath''', and returned the relic to '''Urlingwood'''—shattering divination tools across the continent. In the '''High Country''', they freed and destroyed the demon '''Threxzadur''', then rescued '''Elowen Stonereach''' from the maw of '''Kissethkashaan''', the White Wyrm, escaping through another desperate planeswalk.

In '''Cormyr''', they infiltrated '''Phaulkon Manor''', battled '''illithid''' in '''Hullack Forest''', and finally broke '''Glenn's''' curse where '''Manshoon''' had cast it. '''Glenn''' emerged transformed, embracing both his nobility and his frog nature. '''Githyanki''' seekers arrived and were driven off; '''Kith'rak Gaath''' fled without his silver blade.

Flying east to the '''Endless Wastes''', they joined a paladin's quest for vengeance among warring '''Tuigan''' tribes. Beneath the '''Lake of Mists''', they destroyed an '''Imaskari''' altar of reanimation, collapsing its undead horde. The treacherous '''Qara Sarn's''' head became tribute to '''Hoar''', securing both tribes and the paladin order as allies.

'''Galdren''' revealed his purpose: capturing the memories of '''Navarra''', an ally slain by '''Tharos''' who knew of a weapon in the '''Fell Tower''' in a desert of '''purple sands'''. At her grave, his ritual bound her memories into the '''Grand Sensory Stone'''. He charged the heroes to carry it into the '''Outer Planes''', find her spirit, and deliver it—with '''Ember''' and her broken blue-tinted mask as their guides.

Bearing orb and mask into the '''Astral Plane''' and out through the '''Turquoise Color Pool''', they crossed a reshaped '''Outlands''' and the orchards of '''Sheela Peryroyl'''. Within sight of '''Ribcage''' they freed '''Tessavyr''', a rilmani pinned to the roadside by infernal spikes, who named a favor owed and bid them call toward the '''Spire'''.

In the city, '''Glenn's''' cheerful shout of "Green!" spoke the key to a hidden portal, dropping the party into '''Minauros''', where '''The Moss Hag''' loosed a dire troll in revenge for her ruined schemes. They shattered it, plundered her lair of thirty-three '''soul coins''', and burned her shop on their return.

'''Xarannos''' now ruled Ribcage, '''Zelza''' having been eaten by '''Bel'''. '''Unit 137's''' hellfire freed three innocent souls from the hag's coins. Passing to '''Sigil''' through the stool at '''The Bleeding Horn''', '''Diedric''' was pulled aside to stand before '''Selûne''' as the kobolds of '''The Howling Island''' reached home at last, and was named '''Favored'''. '''Ember''' sent them beneath the Cage to find the spirit-seeker '''Vistra Runehall'''.

Her trail led through '''Vos'Ultok''' to the deva '''Galenthias''', who carried them to '''Lunia''', where the pit lord '''Sulphaxus''' rose from the holy waters mortal and redeemed. At the '''Pavilion of Courage''' they learned Vistra hunts the spectre of a carpenter who betrayed a rebel to save a family he lost anyway. Through '''Khorvas's Pool''' they swam into '''Karasuthra''', the eternal midnight of the '''Beastlands''', a day and a half behind her.

== (Known) Active Plot Threads ==
''Last updated: 2026-07-30''

=== Main Quest: Seeking Navarra ===
* '''The Rebel Wizard''': Galdren Murendar, a rebel Red Wizard, seeks to undermine Thay to reform it. To this end, he has tasked the party with finding Navarra, a deceased ally. He seeks to reunite her spirit with her captured memories so he can find a way into the Fell Tower, in the Plains of Purple Dust, which is rumored to house a powerful weapon.
* '''The Spirit Seeker''': The party is currently tracking Vistra, a Spirit Seeker, in order to find Navarra's spirit. She is in Karasuthra in the Beastlands.
* '''Andren's Ledger''': Vistra is currently tracking the spirit of Andren, a man who betrayed his friend Tovaal in a failed attempt to save his family. She is on a contract from the Mercykillers.

=== Side Quests ===
* '''Hunting the Slavers''': Imzel Ulmokina, the druid that freed the party from captivity, was last heard to have been following the rest of the slave wagons, tracking them to their destination.
* '''Lake Mulsantir''': The lake south of Lirensk still suffers from Red Wizards having introduced aberrations in a past skirmish with the Rashemi.
* '''The Phaulkon-bane''': The clone of Manshoon who had assailed Glenn's keep is known to be heading for Chult, using the funds he made to hire the priests of Ubtao to transfer his soul to another body before this one fails him.
* '''Walking the Paths''': The party has learned of many paths (at least six) that can be tread to ascend the hierarchy of Mount Celestia. They need make a pledge to a representative of a Power to start their journey and may be asked to make a sacrifice. Upon walking the path, they will gain +2 to a chosen attribute.
* '''Namers and Berks''': Party members may seek to further their standing with their preferred Sigil faction, which may grant special abilities and privileges.
* '''The Monolith of Stars''': Still safe, it invites academic and divination study.
* '''The Elfmound''': Drenn, the drow wizard spared at Phaulkon Manor, spoke of a Permanency spell and other Netherese magics he found at The Elfmound.

=== Party Member Paths ===
* '''The Planeswalker''': Octavius's planeswalker spark ignited and his fastbond to lands he visits continues to increase his power, collecting fragments of planes to revisit them more easily. He seeks to write a dissertation on the extinct Batrachi race, and has a Weave-Attuned Sextant ready to deliver to a Slaad in Sigil who is interested in its study, as he feels it may draw a connection between the Batrachi race and all Slaad.
* '''A Curse Turned Boon''': Glenn embraced his frog form as his curse was cured, gaining the ability to "wield it as a shield" as his father taught him. He idly joked that he should "start collecting curses".
* '''Favored of Selune''': Blessed by the Moon Goddess for his leading of the lost, Diedric has been named Favored. This connection may continue to grow.
* '''Touched by a Telthor''': Having served as a host for the Telthor of Stars, Lilia can now conjure its constellation around her. As she continues to study stars from other planes, she may grow to understand the strange ones in the night sky above the Monolith, as they do not match that of Faerun's. She has secured access to the Grove of Stars for her coven-sisters, who may relocate once Elowen reaches them with the news.
* '''The Caltrop's Covenant''': Unit 137 continues to show more Hellish influence, including the ability to summon Happy, a tortured lemure, and sporting a pentagram inscribed on his form. In exchange for his infernal immortality, Unit 137 has incurred a debt to the hells and will need to serve them for 666 days at some point in the future.
* '''The Piked Contract''': Smokescale battles with the philosophy of being indentured to a bunch of piking level-headed bloods. Do his chains even matter anymore? His speaking circle truth was "I really want to corrupt the owl, drag him down to my level".

=== Prior Party Members ===
* '''The Star of the Climbing Warrior''': Uchu Buredo, in company of Cedani, continues to seek a way to his home world of Tsunadehoshi. His lead is that a "Vine-Warrior" was spotted in The Velvet Harness by the pegasus Kai. (God the DM did a lot of worldbuilding for this shit.) He also seeks revenge on Vex'riath, the githyanki creche leader of Zar'kash's Forge, who also escaped and survived as that spelljammer ship was destroyed by Uchu's psionic awakening.
* '''Smoke on the Water''': Cedani, having received an urgent message from Soveliss, sought to rescue him from peril. He had been on the way to Evermeet to seek Tharos's true name and had asked of Cedani for a delivery of a scale from a white abishai before being captured by unknown assailants. Diedric (during a session he missed) assisted them, rescuing him from a Troll's cookpot by trading a useless bauble. Cedani and Uchu then proceeded to the Feywild, where her patron had called for a meeting of the seasons in response to her poetry shop being burned down by the summer eladrin Aula. Octavius had subsequently seen visions of Cedani and Uchu in Minauros, being surrounded by hags and the corpses of dead eladrin of various seasons. Uchu's eyes turned red.
* '''The Pursued and Pursuer''': Chai evades cultists pursuing her for her Changeling heritage. She accompanies Cove to the Sea of Fallen Stars, where she seeks to find the prison island that she escaped as a child.

=== Pending ===
* '''The High Diviner''': Tharos Orakul, deprived of the Monolith, continues to suffer from a wasting disease. In desperation, he has met with the Githyanki.
* '''The Foreseen Assault''' Octavius foresaw an attack on the monolith by Kissethkashaan, likely in the month of Flamerule (two months after Mirtul). The vision showed one faerzress crystal already shattered, two wychlaran triplets freezing and shattering, and the Monolith cracking with a yellow light emanating from the crack, hinting at something within. This was shared with Galdren, who said he'd warn the Rashemi, so they should be forewarned.
* '''Hilt's Reward''': In thanks for the party's aid in getting Xarannos to represent him in his accusation against Zelza, he told them that Fredd, a proprietor of The Shaved Coin in The Below, keeps a chest of rubies that they both gathered by using a portal to a mineral-rich pocket of the Elemental Plane of Earth. This portal lies below the fighting pits and the key is blood, so it's usually open. Hilt is also a senator of Ribcage now.
* '''A Wedding on the Wind''': The party will be invited to Ember and Zekir al-Suhail's wedding. They'll hear his voice in the wind. A greater boon was promised. This will be in two years during his coronation.
* '''The Writer''': Atrus, an author of Ages, seeks to write a linking book to a location that can cure any ailment, including Glenn's. This may take him until the month of Kythorn. He had granted the party a linking book labeled "Myst", which they could use to visit him. The tram code is half of the clocktower's set time.
* '''The Bewildered Horse''': Barnaby, the awakened horse, was not at the Velvet Harness the last two visits. Barnaby will return.
* '''The Nyaning Leonin''': Rescued from certain doom on Mirrodin, Shadespine has run off to the Rashemi Berserker Lodge to join them.
* '''The Coven and the Monolith''' Lilia's coven will soon make way for the Grove of Stars to study it and the Monolith. They owe Lilia for this opportunity, and for rescuing Elowen.
* '''The Swordmaster's Road''' Cyrus, Glenn's swordmaster, will likely have been teleported to the War Wizards of Cormyr by Galdren's teleportation circle. He'll make way to Glenn's old keep to see it restored.

=== Visions ===
* ''(Averted)'' '''The Diviner's Prize''': Tharos Orakul's eyes staring at Octavius as he touches the Monolith inside of a grand tower. This diversion shattered divination implements across Faerun.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Convergence of Seasons''': Cedani and three other eladrin — Summer, Spring, and Autumn — navigating a bog as dark shapes surround them.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Blue Fire Falls''': Blue fire crisscrossing the sky, lines burning as Faerûn screams.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Moon in His Arm''': Diedric wielding Selûne in his left arm.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Elder Shadow''': A colossal brain hovering over a city on the Sword Coast, many tendrils hanging down.
* ''(Unlikely Future)'' '''The Psion's Crown''': Uchu, resolute, placing a silver helmet with silver cables attached — as neon explosions appear behind him.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Skycleaver''': A colossal axe parting the clouds.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Crown of Daggers''': Unit 137 wearing a crown of daggers as a legion of devils cheer.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Melting Wings''': Devil wings melting in water.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Frog and the Falcon''': A frog riding a falcon over foggy green hills.
* ''(Happened — planeswalker spark ignition)'' '''The Fire Within''': A flame burning Octavius from within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Obelisk Laid Low''': The obelisk lying on its side in the sunlight.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Parting of Stars''': Lilia throwing her arms to the side, stars following her command and splitting the sky in twain.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Gauntlet of Golden Nails''': Diedric struggling to breathe as a hand bearing a strange gauntlet -- five rings, joined by golden chains, terminating in a golden nail on each finger -- lifted him up.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Marching Dead''': Undead shuffling in great masses, Thaymount erupting in the background.
* ''(Happened)'' '''Ten Seconds From Now''': An ogre crashing through the trees, charging at Octavius as he turns from facing the Monolith… ten seconds from now.
* ''(Future)'' '''Winter Comes to the Grove''': The Grove of Stars. Kissethkashaan, enraged, breathes a cone of cold in a sweeping pass. One of the faerzress crystals is already shattered. Two wychlaran triplets shatter to ice. The Monolith of Stars begins to crack under the cold — and a yellow light emanates from a large crack, implying something within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Red Rage''': Uchu and Cedani stand back-to-back in a bog beneath a dark fey sky as three hags approach from all sides. Dead eladrin of various seasons are scattered around them, sinking. Uchu looks to Cedani, who nods grimly. His glowing blue eyes and blue daggers turn red and he begins howling in a berserker rage.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Lich-Queen's Audience''': Hovering in the Astral Plane: a bald Red Wizard, Tharos Orakul, bowing and coughing blood as a colossal undead githyanki woman sits on a throne, examining her hand, projecting boredom while failing to conceal a glint in her eye. She notices Octavius before the vision fades.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Chorus of Stones''': B'ian Ch'k Ch'k kneels shirtless inside of a low wagon as dozens of sending stones begin vibrating all at once, voices whispering and shouting in various languages. He turns as he hears screaming outside.

=== B'ian Fact Facts ===
* In 1368 DR, B'ian Ch'k Ch'k hid ''inside'' a Candlekeep bookshelf during the doppelganger purge in the wake of the Bhaalspawn.
* In 1370 DR, B'ian Ch'k Ch'k was gifted a traveling wagon by the halfling nation of Luiren for his assistance in averting a flooding crisis. It was engineered by a halfling knight of Gond.

=== Consequences ===
* '''The Mirth of the Ironjaws''': With Hulmarra Ironjaw's death, and the burning of Ironjaw's Mirth, her surviving 11 sisters are likely to have heard of the events by now.
* '''The Charmed Guard:''' Thenn, the Thayan guard charmed during the escape from the Red Wizard wagons, was taken as prisoner by Imzel. He now lives as a servant to a woman in the Grove of Stars that is foreseen to be his wife. It's an awkward relationship.
* '''The Grand Concordance''': Aristeus, a mathematician culturally spending his last days in the Astral Plane, was aided by the party who recovered a variable for him from a memory entity. His allowed him to complete a masterwork that describes the Four Compulsions and the Veil. It seems of important scientific and philosophical importance.
* '''The Silver Skiff''': Vlaakith grows irked by the unanswered theft, three fireballed githyanki, a lost apprentice, the loss of Gaath's ambush team, with one of the apprentices banished and being specifically told to "Tell Vlaakith to leave us alone!". Octavius's vision of an ill Tharos Orakul groveling before her may be of greater import however.
* '''The Lost Githyanki''': Viran, apprentice of Kith'rak Gaath, was led astray by the Alley Reapers in his pursuit of the party and is likely imprisoned in the plane of Carceri.
* '''The Doomed Noble:''' The sickly noble on a balcony in Ribcage is probably super, super dead by now. He's been replaced by a younger noble, flanked by the same red and green cambion ladies.
* '''A Hag Remembers''': The Moss Hag's scheme to secure souls with Luciel foiled, she set a trap whilst Luciel fled the city.
* '''The Alley Reapers:''' They believe Cedani is an agent for a person named Boppel, the "high-up man". They were paying her a cut of their take in the Hive Ward. While she's no longer with the party, they will consider them associates.
* '''Yan-C-in-the-Bin''': Yan-C-Bin will not soon forget the defeat of his avatar at the hands of interlopers from the Prime Material Plane.
* '''The Djinn Prince''': Rescued from a sacrifial rite, the Prince gifted the party a Carpet of Flying and promised great gifts on his wedding day.
* '''The Kobold Pilgrimage''': Spared by Diedric, kobolds worshipping Yan-C-Bin fled back to their tempestuous homeworld, now guided by a familiar moon goddess.
* '''The Telthor of Stars''': Diviners clashed and Tharos was robbed of his fate of securing the Monolith of Stars via a route in the Underdark. The Telthor still lives within, watching over the Rashemi as their tribes unite to select a new Iron Lord. Grimsnarl, an awakened wolf, invited the party's voices in selecting the next Iron Lord as the lodges gather. His own pick: "a simpleton, but his dajemma is legendary -- he travels still with the child of Bhaal on the Sword Coast."
* '''The Drow Wizardress''': Murdered by Octavius, Aunrae Drezz'Lynur was freelancing while under the guise of serving Matron Zorratha. In reality, she was playing Tharos and the duergar against each other. Matron Zorratha wonders what came of the Monolith.
* '''The Unpaid Duergar''': Expecting a payment for pick-up and delivery of the Monolith of Stars, the duergar just found an empty battleground and their gold missing.
* '''The Breaking of Threxzadur''': Octavius willingly drank of a trapped tanar'ri's power, freeing it and then defeating it. It will be reborn in the Abyss.
* '''Eight-legged Freedom''': Freed from their bonds, the goblin's infant ice spiders traveled north, to the icy mountain from which their eggs were stolen.
* '''Vix's Crown''': Sneaking through a sprawling goblin country, the party helped Vix the white kobold steal a Tuigan Helm of Command from the goblin leader.
* '''The Surviving Crossbowman''': Erik the eye-patched crossbowman was rescued from freezing to death by the party. He has foresworn adventuring and claims to be retiring.
* '''The Blood Sorceress''': Qualm and the rest of the dragon slaying party perished in Kissethkashaan's lair. The party happily looted them.
* '''The Rescued Coven-sister''': Elowen Stonereach, an offering of blood to the white dragon by the Nanraak Goblins, was rescued and whisked away. She makes way to the Dalelands to meet with her coven, who will likely travel to The Monolith of Stars to study it.
* '''The White Wyrm's Due''': Angered by the previous dragonslaying party's attempt on his life and another party escaping with his tribute, Kissethkashaan plots his revenge, remembering that one of the members of the first group was of Rashemi descent.
* '''The Piked Halfling''': Finn Fatfoot was charmed into giving up his dreamsilk and giving up Zhentarim secrets. He is on the run from authorities.
* '''The Cleansing of Hullack Forest''': A mindflayer cell, which had fled something in the Underdark, was eliminated by the party. Glenn (with the help of Shrieker) also drove the Zhentarim from his family's keep and had his curse removed. Drenn, the drow wizard in charge of this Zhentarim compound, gave the party information as to Manshoon's plans in Chuult in exchange for his life.
* '''Shrieker''': Glenn's father's Ranger General of his armies continues to patrol the region around Thunderstone, bringing justice to those that the Purple Dragon Knights cannot. Her shrieks in the night bring comfort to children and woe to brigrands. A Tuigan woman mentioned seeing her on the battlefield when Cormyr fought in an alliance against the Tuigan horde, referring to her as Glenn's father's "paramour" who saved him from an ambush. She can be summoned by lighting two pyres on the northern towers near the bridge to Hullack Forest.
* '''The Silver Blade''': Kith'rak Gaath had his entire githyanki strike force ambushed the party but were defeated. Gaath retreated, but had to leave his sword behind.
* '''Blessed Grains''': Lilia blessed the fields of the Tuigan people in an extended ritual, ensuring a bountiful harvest.
* '''The Imaskari Altar''': The party fought through sahuagin priests and destroyed an ancient Imaskari Altar that could animate undead thanks to a link to the Plane of Negative Energy.
* '''Peace on the Endless Wastes''': Peace was brokered between the Fankiang Traditionalists and Hubadai Loyalists, with the Fankiang receiving a seven year deal where they would patrol and tax the Golden Way. The Fankiang agreed to assist with Thay, and the Hubadai representative said he would bring it before their leader in Kourmira.
* '''The Justice of Hoar''': The head of Qara Sarn, a Fankiang member who attempted to leave Khan Borcha to her death, was served to Hoar as recompense for the slaying of one of his paladins. He accepted with three thunderstrikes, and Lureene Amblecrown assured that they had secured the Hoar Order's aid against Thay.
* '''Ribcage, Under New Management''': Uncovering Zelza's scheme to plunge Ribcage into the Nine Hells, Xarannos was installed as interim Duke of Ribcage. Zelza was consumed by Bel.
* '''The Third Hell's Door''': A portal to the third layer of the Nine Hells is now publicly known and guarded in the Beetle Bazaar. It's near a woman's burned-down shop. Don't say your favorite color.
* '''A Hag Still Remembers''': The Moss Hag swam through the mire of Minauros, fleeing as the party survived her trap, stole her soul coins, and even freed her Catoblepas. She may yet seek revenge or move on to safer prey.
* '''Tessavyr's Debt''': A rilmani, pinned to the earth by infernal spikes placed by a circle of succubi working for Zelza, thanked the party for its freedom, stating that they just need call its name toward the Spire should they ever need aid.

=== Curiosities ===
* '''The Unpowered Golem''': This still sits abandoned in the flooded depths of the Imaskari Tomb. The party also looted an Anti-Divinity Orb from the same location.
* '''The Unnamed Scholar''': The party looted the body of a female ghoul scholar with a bronze circlet, stuffing her into their Bag of Holding for later Speak-with-Dead questioning. They then proceeded to forget about it.
* '''The Bronze Rib''': A Bronze Rib in Minauros proves to be a foil to teleportation magic, although it did not look easy to move.
* '''Aunrae's Spellbook''': Aside from the Teleportation Circle spell, the dead drow's spellbook also had a loose sheet of sigils for all ten Undrek'Thoz drow-city states and the duergar city of Fraaszummdin.
* '''The Ring''': Galdren asked Diedric if Azhar, Diedric's adopted father and financier of his estate, still bore a ring with gemstones, and how many there were. Diedric confirmed there were two rubies with one inset blank. Galdren looked relieved.
* '''The Time-Skip Doppelganger''': Investigating a darkness at the heart of Thay, Galden and Navarra traced it to a doppelganger impersonating an Aglarond noble, and mid-interrogation they experienced a skip in time (candles instantly burned low) and the doppelganger was disintegrated to ash.
* '''The Interventionist Deva''': Zariel seemed like the crankiest out of the bunch at the Pavilion of Courage.

== The Story So Far ==

<div class="story-book">
<div class="story-box">
<p class="story-title">Chapter 1: Memory</p>
A group of diverse adventurers, each on their own path, found themselves at '''Ironjaw's Mirth''' on the Thay-Rashemen border. Their chance meeting was interrupted by the '''Red Wizards of Thay''', led by Vezim Sepret, who '''captured everyone''' in retaliation for losses at the Grove of Stars.

Now mired in the conflict between Thay and Rashemen and en route to a slave camp, '''the party escaped''' with aid from '''Imzel Ulmokina''', a Wychlaran druid. A letter on Vezim revealed orders from '''Tharos Orakul, High Diviner of Surthay''', to slay '''"the owl"''' and capture '''"the amphibian"''' for study.

Imzel directed them to Lirensk to meet '''Galdren Murendar''', an ally against the Red Wizards. After a perilous journey across Lake Mulsantir, where they battled quippergulls and a Gelatinous Cube, they met Galdren, '''a rebel Red Wizard''' working to reform Thay. '''He tasked them with acquiring a Grand Sensory Stone from Sigil''', the City of Doors, casting their souls into the Astral Plane.

In the '''Astral Plane''', they helped a '''mathematician''' retrieve a variable stolen by a benign memory entity. Then, they escaped '''githyanki''' pursuers through a color pool to '''The Outlands''' -- after stealing their silver. Guided by a kind bariaur's words, they journeyed towards Sigil, encountering various planar entities (including water-sharing petitioners, imps, and a '''Rogue Modron''') and ultimately reached '''Ribcage''', the gate-town to the Nine Hells.

In Ribcage, they engaged in various intrigues: upgrading a Rogue Modron with infernal silver, binding an '''imp''' into servitude with the help of a '''slaad advocate''', aiding a falsely accused man, uncovering a '''cambion's''' scheme with a '''hag''', and participating in a Blood War skirmish. They finally found passage to '''Sigil''' beneath a bar stool.

In Sigil, they discovered '''Cedani's grandmother's''' ruined poetry shop and defeated the '''Summer Eladrin''' responsible. After recovering from near-death, they met with faction representatives and negotiated with '''Niara''', a Sensate Factotum, for a '''Grand Sensory Stone in exchange for locating Ember'''.

Their search brought them to The Velvet Harness inn, where a '''pegasus''' and '''deva''' led them to a vortex to the '''Elemental Plane of Air'''. There, they survived a harrowing fall with '''Ember''''s help, learning to navigate a realm where direction is a matter of perception. They landed in the courtyard of the '''Palace of the Winds''', a majestic djinn stronghold.

There, they agreed to help rescue a '''trapped djinn''' from the clutches of '''kobolds''', defeating the '''Avatar of Yan-C-Bin'''.

Victorious, they returned to Sigil, and acquired the '''Grand Sensory Stone''' at last. Joining factions and receiving pay from '''The Alley Reapers''', they returned to their bodies in '''The Rebel Estate'''.

Grateful, Galdren rewarded them with '''vast sums of jink''', a Weave-attuned sextant, and explained that he planned to use the stone to '''capture the memories of a deceased person''' who has information invaluable to their cause.

He bid the heroes rest, for now.

'''To:''' 7th of Tarsakh (The Claw of the Storms, April), 1372 DR

<div class="story-box">
<p class="story-title">Chapter 2: Convergence</p>
Returning from their astral journey with the '''Grand Sensory Stone''', the party awoke at '''The Rebel Estate''' to visions of '''Tharos Orakul''' warning '''Octavius''' away from Thay. '''Cedani''' departed for the Feywild, while '''Lilia Corydalis''', a starry witch seeking her missing coven sister, joined the group.

Sent to '''Urlingwood''' to cure '''Glenn's''' curse, the '''Wychlaran''' declared the barbs needed to be removed where they were cast. At the '''Monolith of Stars''', visions of fractured futures preceded a goblinoid assault. In the chaos, '''Octavius's''' latent '''planeswalker spark''' ignited, pulling them through the '''Blind Eternities''' to '''Mirrodin''' before willing them home.

Pursuing the stolen Monolith into the '''Underdark''', they uncovered drow treachery, slew the ogre assassin '''Vaergath''', and returned the relic to '''Urlingwood'''—shattering divination tools across the continent. In the '''High Country''', they freed and destroyed the demon '''Threxzadur''', then rescued '''Elowen Stonereach''' from the maw of '''Kissethkashaan''', the White Wyrm, escaping through another desperate planeswalk.

In '''Cormyr''', they infiltrated '''Phaulkon Manor''', battled '''illithid''' in '''Hullack Forest''', and finally broke '''Glenn's''' curse where '''Manshoon''' had cast it. '''Glenn''' emerged transformed, embracing both his nobility and his frog nature. '''Githyanki''' seekers arrived and were driven off; '''Kith'rak Gaath''' fled without his silver blade.

Flying east to the '''Endless Wastes''', they joined a paladin's quest for vengeance among warring '''Tuigan''' tribes. Beneath the '''Lake of Mists''', they destroyed an '''Imaskari''' altar of reanimation, collapsing its undead horde. The treacherous '''Qara Sarn's''' head became tribute to '''Hoar''', securing both tribes and the paladin order as allies.

'''Galdren''' revealed his purpose: capturing the memories of '''Navarra''', an ally slain by '''Tharos''' who knew of a weapon in the '''Fell Tower''' in a desert of '''purple sands'''. At her grave, his ritual bound her memories into the '''Grand Sensory Stone'''. He charged the heroes to carry it into the '''Outer Planes''', find her spirit, and deliver it—with '''Ember''' and her broken blue-tinted mask as their guides.

Bearing orb and mask into the '''Astral Plane''' and out through the '''Turquoise Color Pool''', they crossed a reshaped '''Outlands''' and the orchards of '''Sheela Peryroyl'''. Within sight of '''Ribcage''' they freed '''Tessavyr''', a rilmani pinned to the roadside by infernal spikes, who named a favor owed and bid them call toward the '''Spire'''.

In the city, '''Glenn's''' cheerful shout of "Green!" spoke the key to a hidden portal, dropping the party into '''Minauros''', where '''The Moss Hag''' loosed a dire troll in revenge for her ruined schemes. They shattered it, plundered her lair of thirty-three '''soul coins''', and burned her shop on their return.

'''Xarannos''' now ruled Ribcage, '''Zelza''' having been eaten by '''Bel'''. '''Unit 137's''' hellfire freed three innocent souls from the hag's coins. Passing to '''Sigil''' through the stool at '''The Bleeding Horn''', '''Diedric''' was pulled aside to stand before '''Selûne''' as the kobolds of '''The Howling Island''' reached home at last, and was named '''Favored'''. '''Ember''' sent them beneath the Cage to find the spirit-seeker '''Vistra Runehall'''.

Her trail led through '''Vos'Ultok''' to the deva '''Galenthias''', who carried them to '''Lunia''', where the pit lord '''Sulphaxus''' rose from the holy waters mortal and redeemed. At the '''Pavilion of Courage''' they learned Vistra hunts the spectre of a carpenter who betrayed a rebel to save a family he lost anyway. Through '''Khorvas's Pool''' they swam into '''Karasuthra''', the eternal midnight of the '''Beastlands''', a day and a half behind her.

== (Known) Active Plot Threads ==
''Last updated: 2026-07-30''

=== Main Quest: Seeking Navarra ===
* '''The Rebel Wizard''': Galdren Murendar, a rebel Red Wizard, seeks to undermine Thay to reform it. To this end, he has tasked the party with finding Navarra, a deceased ally. He seeks to reunite her spirit with her captured memories so he can find a way into the Fell Tower, in the Plains of Purple Dust, which is rumored to house a powerful weapon.
* '''The Spirit Seeker''': The party is currently tracking Vistra, a Spirit Seeker, in order to find Navarra's spirit. She is in Karasuthra in the Beastlands.
* '''Andren's Ledger''': Vistra is currently tracking the spirit of Andren, a man who betrayed his friend Tovaal in a failed attempt to save his family. She is on a contract from the Mercykillers.

=== Side Quests ===
* '''Hunting the Slavers''': Imzel Ulmokina, the druid that freed the party from captivity, was last heard to have been following the rest of the slave wagons, tracking them to their destination.
* '''Lake Mulsantir''': The lake south of Lirensk still suffers from Red Wizards having introduced aberrations in a past skirmish with the Rashemi.
* '''The Phaulkon-bane''': The clone of Manshoon who had assailed Glenn's keep is known to be heading for Chult, using the funds he made to hire the priests of Ubtao to transfer his soul to another body before this one fails him.
* '''Walking the Paths''': The party has learned of many paths (at least six) that can be tread to ascend the hierarchy of Mount Celestia. They need make a pledge to a representative of a Power to start their journey and may be asked to make a sacrifice. Upon walking the path, they will gain +2 to a chosen attribute.
* '''Namers and Berks''': Party members may seek to further their standing with their preferred Sigil faction, which may grant special abilities and privileges.
* '''The Monolith of Stars''': Still safe, it invites academic and divination study.
* '''The Elfmound''': Drenn, the drow wizard spared at Phaulkon Manor, spoke of a Permanency spell and other Netherese magics he found at The Elfmound.

=== Party Member Paths ===
* '''The Planeswalker''': Octavius's planeswalker spark ignited and his fastbond to lands he visits continues to increase his power, collecting fragments of planes to revisit them more easily. He seeks to write a dissertation on the extinct Batrachi race, and has a Weave-Attuned Sextant ready to deliver to a Slaad in Sigil who is interested in its study, as he feels it may draw a connection between the Batrachi race and all Slaad.
* '''A Curse Turned Boon''': Glenn embraced his frog form as his curse was cured, gaining the ability to "wield it as a shield" as his father taught him. He idly joked that he should "start collecting curses".
* '''Favored of Selune''': Blessed by the Moon Goddess for his leading of the lost, Diedric has been named Favored. This connection may continue to grow.
* '''Touched by a Telthor''': Having served as a host for the Telthor of Stars, Lilia can now conjure its constellation around her. As she continues to study stars from other planes, she may grow to understand the strange ones in the night sky above the Monolith, as they do not match that of Faerun's. She has secured access to the Grove of Stars for her coven-sisters, who may relocate once Elowen reaches them with the news.
* '''The Caltrop's Covenant''': Unit 137 continues to show more Hellish influence, including the ability to summon Happy, a tortured lemure, and sporting a pentagram inscribed on his form. In exchange for his infernal immortality, Unit 137 has incurred a debt to the hells and will need to serve them for 666 days at some point in the future.
* '''The Piked Contract''': Smokescale battles with the philosophy of being indentured to a bunch of piking level-headed bloods. Do his chains even matter anymore? His speaking circle truth was "I really want to corrupt the owl, drag him down to my level".

=== Prior Party Members ===
* '''The Star of the Climbing Warrior''': Uchu Buredo, in company of Cedani, continues to seek a way to his home world of Tsunadehoshi. His lead is that a "Vine-Warrior" was spotted in The Velvet Harness by the pegasus Kai. (God the DM did a lot of worldbuilding for this shit.) He also seeks revenge on Vex'riath, the githyanki creche leader of Zar'kash's Forge, who also escaped and survived as that spelljammer ship was destroyed by Uchu's psionic awakening.
* '''Smoke on the Water''': Cedani, having received an urgent message from Soveliss, sought to rescue him from peril. He had been on the way to Evermeet to seek Tharos's true name and had asked of Cedani for a delivery of a scale from a white abishai before being captured by unknown assailants. Diedric (during a session he missed) assisted them, rescuing him from a Troll's cookpot by trading a useless bauble. Cedani and Uchu then proceeded to the Feywild, where her patron had called for a meeting of the seasons in response to her poetry shop being burned down by the summer eladrin Aula. Octavius had subsequently seen visions of Cedani and Uchu in Minauros, being surrounded by hags and the corpses of dead eladrin of various seasons. Uchu's eyes turned red.
* '''The Pursued and Pursuer''': Chai evades cultists pursuing her for her Changeling heritage. She accompanies Cove to the Sea of Fallen Stars, where she seeks to find the prison island that she escaped as a child.

=== Pending ===
* '''The High Diviner''': Tharos Orakul, deprived of the Monolith, continues to suffer from a wasting disease. In desperation, he has met with the Githyanki.
* '''The Foreseen Assault''' Octavius foresaw an attack on the monolith by Kissethkashaan, likely in the month of Flamerule (two months after Mirtul). The vision showed one faerzress crystal already shattered, two wychlaran triplets freezing and shattering, and the Monolith cracking with a yellow light emanating from the crack, hinting at something within. This was shared with Galdren, who said he'd warn the Rashemi, so they should be forewarned.
* '''Hilt's Reward''': In thanks for the party's aid in getting Xarannos to represent him in his accusation against Zelza, he told them that Fredd, a proprietor of The Shaved Coin in The Below, keeps a chest of rubies that they both gathered by using a portal to a mineral-rich pocket of the Elemental Plane of Earth. This portal lies below the fighting pits and the key is blood, so it's usually open. Hilt is also a senator of Ribcage now.
* '''A Wedding on the Wind''': The party will be invited to Ember and Zekir al-Suhail's wedding. They'll hear his voice in the wind. A greater boon was promised. This will be in two years during his coronation.
* '''The Writer''': Atrus, an author of Ages, seeks to write a linking book to a location that can cure any ailment, including Glenn's. This may take him until the month of Kythorn. He had granted the party a linking book labeled "Myst", which they could use to visit him. The tram code is half of the clocktower's set time.
* '''The Bewildered Horse''': Barnaby, the awakened horse, was not at the Velvet Harness the last two visits. Barnaby will return.
* '''The Nyaning Leonin''': Rescued from certain doom on Mirrodin, Shadespine has run off to the Rashemi Berserker Lodge to join them.
* '''The Coven and the Monolith''' Lilia's coven will soon make way for the Grove of Stars to study it and the Monolith. They owe Lilia for this opportunity, and for rescuing Elowen.
* '''The Swordmaster's Road''' Cyrus, Glenn's swordmaster, will likely have been teleported to the War Wizards of Cormyr by Galdren's teleportation circle. He'll make way to Glenn's old keep to see it restored.

=== Visions ===
* ''(Averted)'' '''The Diviner's Prize''': Tharos Orakul's eyes staring at Octavius as he touches the Monolith inside of a grand tower. This diversion shattered divination implements across Faerun.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Convergence of Seasons''': Cedani and three other eladrin — Summer, Spring, and Autumn — navigating a bog as dark shapes surround them.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Blue Fire Falls''': Blue fire crisscrossing the sky, lines burning as Faerûn screams.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Moon in His Arm''': Diedric wielding Selûne in his left arm.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Elder Shadow''': A colossal brain hovering over a city on the Sword Coast, many tendrils hanging down.
* ''(Unlikely Future)'' '''The Psion's Crown''': Uchu, resolute, placing a silver helmet with silver cables attached — as neon explosions appear behind him.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Skycleaver''': A colossal axe parting the clouds.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Crown of Daggers''': Unit 137 wearing a crown of daggers as a legion of devils cheer.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Melting Wings''': Devil wings melting in water.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Frog and the Falcon''': A frog riding a falcon over foggy green hills.
* ''(Happened — planeswalker spark ignition)'' '''The Fire Within''': A flame burning Octavius from within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Obelisk Laid Low''': The obelisk lying on its side in the sunlight.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Parting of Stars''': Lilia throwing her arms to the side, stars following her command and splitting the sky in twain.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Gauntlet of Golden Nails''': Diedric struggling to breathe as a hand bearing a strange gauntlet -- five rings, joined by golden chains, terminating in a golden nail on each finger -- lifted him up.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Marching Dead''': Undead shuffling in great masses, Thaymount erupting in the background.
* ''(Happened)'' '''Ten Seconds From Now''': An ogre crashing through the trees, charging at Octavius as he turns from facing the Monolith… ten seconds from now.
* ''(Future)'' '''Winter Comes to the Grove''': The Grove of Stars. Kissethkashaan, enraged, breathes a cone of cold in a sweeping pass. One of the faerzress crystals is already shattered. Two wychlaran triplets shatter to ice. The Monolith of Stars begins to crack under the cold — and a yellow light emanates from a large crack, implying something within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Red Rage''': Uchu and Cedani stand back-to-back in a bog beneath a dark fey sky as three hags approach from all sides. Dead eladrin of various seasons are scattered around them, sinking. Uchu looks to Cedani, who nods grimly. His glowing blue eyes and blue daggers turn red and he begins howling in a berserker rage.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Lich-Queen's Audience''': Hovering in the Astral Plane: a bald Red Wizard, Tharos Orakul, bowing and coughing blood as a colossal undead githyanki woman sits on a throne, examining her hand, projecting boredom while failing to conceal a glint in her eye. She notices Octavius before the vision fades.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Chorus of Stones''': B'ian Ch'k Ch'k kneels shirtless inside of a low wagon as dozens of sending stones begin vibrating all at once, voices whispering and shouting in various languages. He turns as he hears screaming outside.

=== B'ian Fact Facts ===
* In 1368 DR, B'ian Ch'k Ch'k hid ''inside'' a Candlekeep bookshelf during the doppelganger purge in the wake of the Bhaalspawn.
* In 1370 DR, B'ian Ch'k Ch'k was gifted a traveling wagon by the halfling nation of Luiren for his assistance in averting a flooding crisis. It was engineered by a halfling knight of Gond.

=== Consequences ===
* '''The Mirth of the Ironjaws''': With Hulmarra Ironjaw's death, and the burning of Ironjaw's Mirth, her surviving 11 sisters are likely to have heard of the events by now.
* '''The Charmed Guard:''' Thenn, the Thayan guard charmed during the escape from the Red Wizard wagons, was taken as prisoner by Imzel. He now lives as a servant to a woman in the Grove of Stars that is foreseen to be his wife. It's an awkward relationship.
* '''The Grand Concordance''': Aristeus, a mathematician culturally spending his last days in the Astral Plane, was aided by the party who recovered a variable for him from a memory entity. His allowed him to complete a masterwork that describes the Four Compulsions and the Veil. It seems of important scientific and philosophical importance.
* '''The Silver Skiff''': Vlaakith grows irked by the unanswered theft, three fireballed githyanki, a lost apprentice, the loss of Gaath's ambush team, with one of the apprentices banished and being specifically told to "Tell Vlaakith to leave us alone!". Octavius's vision of an ill Tharos Orakul groveling before her may be of greater import however.
* '''The Lost Githyanki''': Viran, apprentice of Kith'rak Gaath, was led astray by the Alley Reapers in his pursuit of the party and is likely imprisoned in the plane of Carceri.
* '''The Doomed Noble:''' The sickly noble on a balcony in Ribcage is probably super, super dead by now. He's been replaced by a younger noble, flanked by the same red and green cambion ladies.
* '''A Hag Remembers''': The Moss Hag's scheme to secure souls with Luciel foiled, she set a trap whilst Luciel fled the city.
* '''The Alley Reapers:''' They believe Cedani is an agent for a person named Boppel, the "high-up man". They were paying her a cut of their take in the Hive Ward. While she's no longer with the party, they will consider them associates.
* '''Yan-C-in-the-Bin''': Yan-C-Bin will not soon forget the defeat of his avatar at the hands of interlopers from the Prime Material Plane.
* '''The Djinn Prince''': Rescued from a sacrifial rite, the Prince gifted the party a Carpet of Flying and promised great gifts on his wedding day.
* '''The Kobold Pilgrimage''': Spared by Diedric, kobolds worshipping Yan-C-Bin fled back to their tempestuous homeworld, now guided by a familiar moon goddess.
* '''The Telthor of Stars''': Diviners clashed and Tharos was robbed of his fate of securing the Monolith of Stars via a route in the Underdark. The Telthor still lives within, watching over the Rashemi as their tribes unite to select a new Iron Lord. Grimsnarl, an awakened wolf, invited the party's voices in selecting the next Iron Lord as the lodges gather. His own pick: "a simpleton, but his dajemma is legendary -- he travels still with the child of Bhaal on the Sword Coast."
* '''The Drow Wizardress''': Murdered by Octavius, Aunrae Drezz'Lynur was freelancing while under the guise of serving Matron Zorratha. In reality, she was playing Tharos and the duergar against each other. Matron Zorratha wonders what came of the Monolith.
* '''The Unpaid Duergar''': Expecting a payment for pick-up and delivery of the Monolith of Stars, the duergar just found an empty battleground and their gold missing.
* '''The Breaking of Threxzadur''': Octavius willingly drank of a trapped tanar'ri's power, freeing it and then defeating it. It will be reborn in the Abyss.
* '''Eight-legged Freedom''': Freed from their bonds, the goblin's infant ice spiders traveled north, to the icy mountain from which their eggs were stolen.
* '''Vix's Crown''': Sneaking through a sprawling goblin country, the party helped Vix the white kobold steal a Tuigan Helm of Command from the goblin leader.
* '''The Surviving Crossbowman''': Erik the eye-patched crossbowman was rescued from freezing to death by the party. He has foresworn adventuring and claims to be retiring.
* '''The Blood Sorceress''': Qualm and the rest of the dragon slaying party perished in Kissethkashaan's lair. The party happily looted them.
* '''The Rescued Coven-sister''': Elowen Stonereach, an offering of blood to the white dragon by the Nanraak Goblins, was rescued and whisked away. She makes way to the Dalelands to meet with her coven, who will likely travel to The Monolith of Stars to study it.
* '''The White Wyrm's Due''': Angered by the previous dragonslaying party's attempt on his life and another party escaping with his tribute, Kissethkashaan plots his revenge, remembering that one of the members of the first group was of Rashemi descent.
* '''The Piked Halfling''': Finn Fatfoot was charmed into giving up his dreamsilk and giving up Zhentarim secrets. He is on the run from authorities.
* '''The Cleansing of Hullack Forest''': A mindflayer cell, which had fled something in the Underdark, was eliminated by the party. Glenn (with the help of Shrieker) also drove the Zhentarim from his family's keep and had his curse removed. Drenn, the drow wizard in charge of this Zhentarim compound, gave the party information as to Manshoon's plans in Chuult in exchange for his life.
* '''Shrieker''': Glenn's father's Ranger General of his armies continues to patrol the region around Thunderstone, bringing justice to those that the Purple Dragon Knights cannot. Her shrieks in the night bring comfort to children and woe to brigrands. A Tuigan woman mentioned seeing her on the battlefield when Cormyr fought in an alliance against the Tuigan horde, referring to her as Glenn's father's "paramour" who saved him from an ambush. She can be summoned by lighting two pyres on the northern towers near the bridge to Hullack Forest.
* '''The Silver Blade''': Kith'rak Gaath had his entire githyanki strike force ambushed the party but were defeated. Gaath retreated, but had to leave his sword behind.
* '''Blessed Grains''': Lilia blessed the fields of the Tuigan people in an extended ritual, ensuring a bountiful harvest.
* '''The Imaskari Altar''': The party fought through sahuagin priests and destroyed an ancient Imaskari Altar that could animate undead thanks to a link to the Plane of Negative Energy.
* '''Peace on the Endless Wastes''': Peace was brokered between the Fankiang Traditionalists and Hubadai Loyalists, with the Fankiang receiving a seven year deal where they would patrol and tax the Golden Way. The Fankiang agreed to assist with Thay, and the Hubadai representative said he would bring it before their leader in Kourmira.
* '''The Justice of Hoar''': The head of Qara Sarn, a Fankiang member who attempted to leave Khan Borcha to her death, was served to Hoar as recompense for the slaying of one of his paladins. He accepted with three thunderstrikes, and Lureene Amblecrown assured that they had secured the Hoar Order's aid against Thay.
* '''Ribcage, Under New Management''': Uncovering Zelza's scheme to plunge Ribcage into the Nine Hells, Xarannos was installed as interim Duke of Ribcage. Zelza was consumed by Bel.
* '''The Third Hell's Door''': A portal to the third layer of the Nine Hells is now publicly known and guarded in the Beetle Bazaar. It's near a woman's burned-down shop. Don't say your favorite color.
* '''A Hag Still Remembers''': The Moss Hag swam through the mire of Minauros, fleeing as the party survived her trap, stole her soul coins, and even freed her Catoblepas. She may yet seek revenge or move on to safer prey.
* '''Tessavyr's Debt''': A rilmani, pinned to the earth by infernal spikes placed by a circle of succubi working for Zelza, thanked the party for its freedom, stating that they just need call its name toward the Spire should they ever need aid.

=== Curiosities ===
* '''The Unpowered Golem''': This still sits abandoned in the flooded depths of the Imaskari Tomb. The party also looted an Anti-Divinity Orb from the same location.
* '''The Unnamed Scholar''': The party looted the body of a female ghoul scholar with a bronze circlet, stuffing her into their Bag of Holding for later Speak-with-Dead questioning. They then proceeded to forget about it.
* '''The Bronze Rib''': A Bronze Rib in Minauros proves to be a foil to teleportation magic, although it did not look easy to move.
* '''Aunrae's Spellbook''': Aside from the Teleportation Circle spell, the dead drow's spellbook also had a loose sheet of sigils for all ten Undrek'Thoz drow-city states and the duergar city of Fraaszummdin.
* '''The Ring''': Galdren asked Diedric if Azhar, Diedric's adopted father and financier of his estate, still bore a ring with gemstones, and how many there were. Diedric confirmed there were two rubies with one inset blank. Galdren looked relieved.
* '''The Time-Skip Doppelganger''': Investigating a darkness at the heart of Thay, Galden and Navarra traced it to a doppelganger impersonating an Aglarond noble, and mid-interrogation they experienced a skip in time (candles instantly burned low) and the doppelganger was disintegrated to ash.
* '''The Interventionist Deva''': Zariel seemed like the crankiest out of the bunch at the Pavilion of Courage.

== The Story So Far ==

<div class="story-box">
<p class="story-title">Chapter 1: Memory</p>
A group of diverse adventurers, each on their own path, found themselves at '''Ironjaw's Mirth''' on the Thay-Rashemen border. Their chance meeting was interrupted by the '''Red Wizards of Thay''', led by Vezim Sepret, who '''captured everyone''' in retaliation for losses at the Grove of Stars.

Now mired in the conflict between Thay and Rashemen and en route to a slave camp, '''the party escaped''' with aid from '''Imzel Ulmokina''', a Wychlaran druid. A letter on Vezim revealed orders from '''Tharos Orakul, High Diviner of Surthay''', to slay '''"the owl"''' and capture '''"the amphibian"''' for study.

Imzel directed them to Lirensk to meet '''Galdren Murendar''', an ally against the Red Wizards. After a perilous journey across Lake Mulsantir, where they battled quippergulls and a Gelatinous Cube, they met Galdren, '''a rebel Red Wizard''' working to reform Thay. '''He tasked them with acquiring a Grand Sensory Stone from Sigil''', the City of Doors, casting their souls into the Astral Plane.

In the '''Astral Plane''', they helped a '''mathematician''' retrieve a variable stolen by a benign memory entity. Then, they escaped '''githyanki''' pursuers through a color pool to '''The Outlands''' -- after stealing their silver. Guided by a kind bariaur's words, they journeyed towards Sigil, encountering various planar entities (including water-sharing petitioners, imps, and a '''Rogue Modron''') and ultimately reached '''Ribcage''', the gate-town to the Nine Hells.

In Ribcage, they engaged in various intrigues: upgrading a Rogue Modron with infernal silver, binding an '''imp''' into servitude with the help of a '''slaad advocate''', aiding a falsely accused man, uncovering a '''cambion's''' scheme with a '''hag''', and participating in a Blood War skirmish. They finally found passage to '''Sigil''' beneath a bar stool.

In Sigil, they discovered '''Cedani's grandmother's''' ruined poetry shop and defeated the '''Summer Eladrin''' responsible. After recovering from near-death, they met with faction representatives and negotiated with '''Niara''', a Sensate Factotum, for a '''Grand Sensory Stone in exchange for locating Ember'''.

Their search brought them to The Velvet Harness inn, where a '''pegasus''' and '''deva''' led them to a vortex to the '''Elemental Plane of Air'''. There, they survived a harrowing fall with '''Ember''''s help, learning to navigate a realm where direction is a matter of perception. They landed in the courtyard of the '''Palace of the Winds''', a majestic djinn stronghold.

There, they agreed to help rescue a '''trapped djinn''' from the clutches of '''kobolds''', defeating the '''Avatar of Yan-C-Bin'''.

Victorious, they returned to Sigil, and acquired the '''Grand Sensory Stone''' at last. Joining factions and receiving pay from '''The Alley Reapers''', they returned to their bodies in '''The Rebel Estate'''.

Grateful, Galdren rewarded them with '''vast sums of jink''', a Weave-attuned sextant, and explained that he planned to use the stone to '''capture the memories of a deceased person''' who has information invaluable to their cause.

He bid the heroes rest, for now.

<div class="story-box">
<p class="story-title">Chapter 2: Convergence</p>
Returning from their astral journey with the '''Grand Sensory Stone''', the party awoke at '''The Rebel Estate''' to visions of '''Tharos Orakul''' warning '''Octavius''' away from Thay. '''Cedani''' departed for the Feywild, while '''Lilia Corydalis''', a starry witch seeking her missing coven sister, joined the group.

Sent to '''Urlingwood''' to cure '''Glenn's''' curse, the '''Wychlaran''' declared the barbs needed to be removed where they were cast. At the '''Monolith of Stars''', visions of fractured futures preceded a goblinoid assault. In the chaos, '''Octavius's''' latent '''planeswalker spark''' ignited, pulling them through the '''Blind Eternities''' to '''Mirrodin''' before willing them home.

Pursuing the stolen Monolith into the '''Underdark''', they uncovered drow treachery, slew the ogre assassin '''Vaergath''', and returned the relic to '''Urlingwood'''—shattering divination tools across the continent. In the '''High Country''', they freed and destroyed the demon '''Threxzadur''', then rescued '''Elowen Stonereach''' from the maw of '''Kissethkashaan''', the White Wyrm, escaping through another desperate planeswalk.

In '''Cormyr''', they infiltrated '''Phaulkon Manor''', battled '''illithid''' in '''Hullack Forest''', and finally broke '''Glenn's''' curse where '''Manshoon''' had cast it. '''Glenn''' emerged transformed, embracing both his nobility and his frog nature. '''Githyanki''' seekers arrived and were driven off; '''Kith'rak Gaath''' fled without his silver blade.

Flying east to the '''Endless Wastes''', they joined a paladin's quest for vengeance among warring '''Tuigan''' tribes. Beneath the '''Lake of Mists''', they destroyed an '''Imaskari''' altar of reanimation, collapsing its undead horde. The treacherous '''Qara Sarn's''' head became tribute to '''Hoar''', securing both tribes and the paladin order as allies.

'''Galdren''' revealed his purpose: capturing the memories of '''Navarra''', an ally slain by '''Tharos''' who knew of a weapon in the '''Fell Tower''' in a desert of '''purple sands'''. At her grave, his ritual bound her memories into the '''Grand Sensory Stone'''. He charged the heroes to carry it into the '''Outer Planes''', find her spirit, and deliver it—with '''Ember''' and her broken blue-tinted mask as their guides.

Bearing orb and mask into the '''Astral Plane''' and out through the '''Turquoise Color Pool''', they crossed a reshaped '''Outlands''' and the orchards of '''Sheela Peryroyl'''. Within sight of '''Ribcage''' they freed '''Tessavyr''', a rilmani pinned to the roadside by infernal spikes, who named a favor owed and bid them call toward the '''Spire'''.

In the city, '''Glenn's''' cheerful shout of "Green!" spoke the key to a hidden portal, dropping the party into '''Minauros''', where '''The Moss Hag''' loosed a dire troll in revenge for her ruined schemes. They shattered it, plundered her lair of thirty-three '''soul coins''', and burned her shop on their return.

'''Xarannos''' now ruled Ribcage, '''Zelza''' having been eaten by '''Bel'''. '''Unit 137's''' hellfire freed three innocent souls from the hag's coins. Passing to '''Sigil''' through the stool at '''The Bleeding Horn''', '''Diedric''' was pulled aside to stand before '''Selûne''' as the kobolds of '''The Howling Island''' reached home at last, and was named '''Favored'''. '''Ember''' sent them beneath the Cage to find the spirit-seeker '''Vistra Runehall'''.

Her trail led through '''Vos'Ultok''' to the deva '''Galenthias''', who carried them to '''Lunia''', where the pit lord '''Sulphaxus''' rose from the holy waters mortal and redeemed. At the '''Pavilion of Courage''' they learned Vistra hunts the spectre of a carpenter who betrayed a rebel to save a family he lost anyway. Through '''Khorvas's Pool''' they swam into '''Karasuthra''', the eternal midnight of the '''Beastlands''', a day and a half behind her.

== (Known) Active Plot Threads ==
''Last updated: 2026-07-30''

=== Main Quest: Seeking Navarra ===
* '''The Rebel Wizard''': Galdren Murendar, a rebel Red Wizard, seeks to undermine Thay to reform it. To this end, he has tasked the party with finding Navarra, a deceased ally. He seeks to reunite her spirit with her captured memories so he can find a way into the Fell Tower, in the Plains of Purple Dust, which is rumored to house a powerful weapon.
* '''The Spirit Seeker''': The party is currently tracking Vistra, a Spirit Seeker, in order to find Navarra's spirit. She is in Karasuthra in the Beastlands.
* '''Andren's Ledger''': Vistra is currently tracking the spirit of Andren, a man who betrayed his friend Tovaal in a failed attempt to save his family. She is on a contract from the Mercykillers.

=== Side Quests ===
* '''Hunting the Slavers''': Imzel Ulmokina, the druid that freed the party from captivity, was last heard to have been following the rest of the slave wagons, tracking them to their destination.
* '''Lake Mulsantir''': The lake south of Lirensk still suffers from Red Wizards having introduced aberrations in a past skirmish with the Rashemi.
* '''The Phaulkon-bane''': The clone of Manshoon who had assailed Glenn's keep is known to be heading for Chult, using the funds he made to hire the priests of Ubtao to transfer his soul to another body before this one fails him.
* '''Walking the Paths''': The party has learned of many paths (at least six) that can be tread to ascend the hierarchy of Mount Celestia. They need make a pledge to a representative of a Power to start their journey and may be asked to make a sacrifice. Upon walking the path, they will gain +2 to a chosen attribute.
* '''Namers and Berks''': Party members may seek to further their standing with their preferred Sigil faction, which may grant special abilities and privileges.
* '''The Monolith of Stars''': Still safe, it invites academic and divination study.
* '''The Elfmound''': Drenn, the drow wizard spared at Phaulkon Manor, spoke of a Permanency spell and other Netherese magics he found at The Elfmound.

=== Party Member Paths ===
* '''The Planeswalker''': Octavius's planeswalker spark ignited and his fastbond to lands he visits continues to increase his power, collecting fragments of planes to revisit them more easily. He seeks to write a dissertation on the extinct Batrachi race, and has a Weave-Attuned Sextant ready to deliver to a Slaad in Sigil who is interested in its study, as he feels it may draw a connection between the Batrachi race and all Slaad.
* '''A Curse Turned Boon''': Glenn embraced his frog form as his curse was cured, gaining the ability to "wield it as a shield" as his father taught him. He idly joked that he should "start collecting curses".
* '''Favored of Selune''': Blessed by the Moon Goddess for his leading of the lost, Diedric has been named Favored. This connection may continue to grow.
* '''Touched by a Telthor''': Having served as a host for the Telthor of Stars, Lilia can now conjure its constellation around her. As she continues to study stars from other planes, she may grow to understand the strange ones in the night sky above the Monolith, as they do not match that of Faerun's. She has secured access to the Grove of Stars for her coven-sisters, who may relocate once Elowen reaches them with the news.
* '''The Caltrop's Covenant''': Unit 137 continues to show more Hellish influence, including the ability to summon Happy, a tortured lemure, and sporting a pentagram inscribed on his form. In exchange for his infernal immortality, Unit 137 has incurred a debt to the hells and will need to serve them for 666 days at some point in the future.
* '''The Piked Contract''': Smokescale battles with the philosophy of being indentured to a bunch of piking level-headed bloods. Do his chains even matter anymore? His speaking circle truth was "I really want to corrupt the owl, drag him down to my level".

=== Prior Party Members ===
* '''The Star of the Climbing Warrior''': Uchu Buredo, in company of Cedani, continues to seek a way to his home world of Tsunadehoshi. His lead is that a "Vine-Warrior" was spotted in The Velvet Harness by the pegasus Kai. (God the DM did a lot of worldbuilding for this shit.) He also seeks revenge on Vex'riath, the githyanki creche leader of Zar'kash's Forge, who also escaped and survived as that spelljammer ship was destroyed by Uchu's psionic awakening.
* '''Smoke on the Water''': Cedani, having received an urgent message from Soveliss, sought to rescue him from peril. He had been on the way to Evermeet to seek Tharos's true name and had asked of Cedani for a delivery of a scale from a white abishai before being captured by unknown assailants. Diedric (during a session he missed) assisted them, rescuing him from a Troll's cookpot by trading a useless bauble. Cedani and Uchu then proceeded to the Feywild, where her patron had called for a meeting of the seasons in response to her poetry shop being burned down by the summer eladrin Aula. Octavius had subsequently seen visions of Cedani and Uchu in Minauros, being surrounded by hags and the corpses of dead eladrin of various seasons. Uchu's eyes turned red.
* '''The Pursued and Pursuer''': Chai evades cultists pursuing her for her Changeling heritage. She accompanies Cove to the Sea of Fallen Stars, where she seeks to find the prison island that she escaped as a child.

=== Pending ===
* '''The High Diviner''': Tharos Orakul, deprived of the Monolith, continues to suffer from a wasting disease. In desperation, he has met with the Githyanki.
* '''The Foreseen Assault''' Octavius foresaw an attack on the monolith by Kissethkashaan, likely in the month of Flamerule (two months after Mirtul). The vision showed one faerzress crystal already shattered, two wychlaran triplets freezing and shattering, and the Monolith cracking with a yellow light emanating from the crack, hinting at something within. This was shared with Galdren, who said he'd warn the Rashemi, so they should be forewarned.
* '''Hilt's Reward''': In thanks for the party's aid in getting Xarannos to represent him in his accusation against Zelza, he told them that Fredd, a proprietor of The Shaved Coin in The Below, keeps a chest of rubies that they both gathered by using a portal to a mineral-rich pocket of the Elemental Plane of Earth. This portal lies below the fighting pits and the key is blood, so it's usually open. Hilt is also a senator of Ribcage now.
* '''A Wedding on the Wind''': The party will be invited to Ember and Zekir al-Suhail's wedding. They'll hear his voice in the wind. A greater boon was promised. This will be in two years during his coronation.
* '''The Writer''': Atrus, an author of Ages, seeks to write a linking book to a location that can cure any ailment, including Glenn's. This may take him until the month of Kythorn. He had granted the party a linking book labeled "Myst", which they could use to visit him. The tram code is half of the clocktower's set time.
* '''The Bewildered Horse''': Barnaby, the awakened horse, was not at the Velvet Harness the last two visits. Barnaby will return.
* '''The Nyaning Leonin''': Rescued from certain doom on Mirrodin, Shadespine has run off to the Rashemi Berserker Lodge to join them.
* '''The Coven and the Monolith''' Lilia's coven will soon make way for the Grove of Stars to study it and the Monolith. They owe Lilia for this opportunity, and for rescuing Elowen.
* '''The Swordmaster's Road''' Cyrus, Glenn's swordmaster, will likely have been teleported to the War Wizards of Cormyr by Galdren's teleportation circle. He'll make way to Glenn's old keep to see it restored.

=== Visions ===
* ''(Averted)'' '''The Diviner's Prize''': Tharos Orakul's eyes staring at Octavius as he touches the Monolith inside of a grand tower. This diversion shattered divination implements across Faerun.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Convergence of Seasons''': Cedani and three other eladrin — Summer, Spring, and Autumn — navigating a bog as dark shapes surround them.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Blue Fire Falls''': Blue fire crisscrossing the sky, lines burning as Faerûn screams.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Moon in His Arm''': Diedric wielding Selûne in his left arm.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Elder Shadow''': A colossal brain hovering over a city on the Sword Coast, many tendrils hanging down.
* ''(Unlikely Future)'' '''The Psion's Crown''': Uchu, resolute, placing a silver helmet with silver cables attached — as neon explosions appear behind him.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Skycleaver''': A colossal axe parting the clouds.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Crown of Daggers''': Unit 137 wearing a crown of daggers as a legion of devils cheer.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Melting Wings''': Devil wings melting in water.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Frog and the Falcon''': A frog riding a falcon over foggy green hills.
* ''(Happened — planeswalker spark ignition)'' '''The Fire Within''': A flame burning Octavius from within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Obelisk Laid Low''': The obelisk lying on its side in the sunlight.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Parting of Stars''': Lilia throwing her arms to the side, stars following her command and splitting the sky in twain.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Gauntlet of Golden Nails''': Diedric struggling to breathe as a hand bearing a strange gauntlet -- five rings, joined by golden chains, terminating in a golden nail on each finger -- lifted him up.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Marching Dead''': Undead shuffling in great masses, Thaymount erupting in the background.
* ''(Happened)'' '''Ten Seconds From Now''': An ogre crashing through the trees, charging at Octavius as he turns from facing the Monolith… ten seconds from now.
* ''(Future)'' '''Winter Comes to the Grove''': The Grove of Stars. Kissethkashaan, enraged, breathes a cone of cold in a sweeping pass. One of the faerzress crystals is already shattered. Two wychlaran triplets shatter to ice. The Monolith of Stars begins to crack under the cold — and a yellow light emanates from a large crack, implying something within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Red Rage''': Uchu and Cedani stand back-to-back in a bog beneath a dark fey sky as three hags approach from all sides. Dead eladrin of various seasons are scattered around them, sinking. Uchu looks to Cedani, who nods grimly. His glowing blue eyes and blue daggers turn red and he begins howling in a berserker rage.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Lich-Queen's Audience''': Hovering in the Astral Plane: a bald Red Wizard, Tharos Orakul, bowing and coughing blood as a colossal undead githyanki woman sits on a throne, examining her hand, projecting boredom while failing to conceal a glint in her eye. She notices Octavius before the vision fades.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Chorus of Stones''': B'ian Ch'k Ch'k kneels shirtless inside of a low wagon as dozens of sending stones begin vibrating all at once, voices whispering and shouting in various languages. He turns as he hears screaming outside.

=== B'ian Fact Facts ===
* In 1368 DR, B'ian Ch'k Ch'k hid ''inside'' a Candlekeep bookshelf during the doppelganger purge in the wake of the Bhaalspawn.
* In 1370 DR, B'ian Ch'k Ch'k was gifted a traveling wagon by the halfling nation of Luiren for his assistance in averting a flooding crisis. It was engineered by a halfling knight of Gond.

=== Consequences ===
* '''The Mirth of the Ironjaws''': With Hulmarra Ironjaw's death, and the burning of Ironjaw's Mirth, her surviving 11 sisters are likely to have heard of the events by now.
* '''The Charmed Guard:''' Thenn, the Thayan guard charmed during the escape from the Red Wizard wagons, was taken as prisoner by Imzel. He now lives as a servant to a woman in the Grove of Stars that is foreseen to be his wife. It's an awkward relationship.
* '''The Grand Concordance''': Aristeus, a mathematician culturally spending his last days in the Astral Plane, was aided by the party who recovered a variable for him from a memory entity. His allowed him to complete a masterwork that describes the Four Compulsions and the Veil. It seems of important scientific and philosophical importance.
* '''The Silver Skiff''': Vlaakith grows irked by the unanswered theft, three fireballed githyanki, a lost apprentice, the loss of Gaath's ambush team, with one of the apprentices banished and being specifically told to "Tell Vlaakith to leave us alone!". Octavius's vision of an ill Tharos Orakul groveling before her may be of greater import however.
* '''The Lost Githyanki''': Viran, apprentice of Kith'rak Gaath, was led astray by the Alley Reapers in his pursuit of the party and is likely imprisoned in the plane of Carceri.
* '''The Doomed Noble:''' The sickly noble on a balcony in Ribcage is probably super, super dead by now. He's been replaced by a younger noble, flanked by the same red and green cambion ladies.
* '''A Hag Remembers''': The Moss Hag's scheme to secure souls with Luciel foiled, she set a trap whilst Luciel fled the city.
* '''The Alley Reapers:''' They believe Cedani is an agent for a person named Boppel, the "high-up man". They were paying her a cut of their take in the Hive Ward. While she's no longer with the party, they will consider them associates.
* '''Yan-C-in-the-Bin''': Yan-C-Bin will not soon forget the defeat of his avatar at the hands of interlopers from the Prime Material Plane.
* '''The Djinn Prince''': Rescued from a sacrifial rite, the Prince gifted the party a Carpet of Flying and promised great gifts on his wedding day.
* '''The Kobold Pilgrimage''': Spared by Diedric, kobolds worshipping Yan-C-Bin fled back to their tempestuous homeworld, now guided by a familiar moon goddess.
* '''The Telthor of Stars''': Diviners clashed and Tharos was robbed of his fate of securing the Monolith of Stars via a route in the Underdark. The Telthor still lives within, watching over the Rashemi as their tribes unite to select a new Iron Lord. Grimsnarl, an awakened wolf, invited the party's voices in selecting the next Iron Lord as the lodges gather. His own pick: "a simpleton, but his dajemma is legendary -- he travels still with the child of Bhaal on the Sword Coast."
* '''The Drow Wizardress''': Murdered by Octavius, Aunrae Drezz'Lynur was freelancing while under the guise of serving Matron Zorratha. In reality, she was playing Tharos and the duergar against each other. Matron Zorratha wonders what came of the Monolith.
* '''The Unpaid Duergar''': Expecting a payment for pick-up and delivery of the Monolith of Stars, the duergar just found an empty battleground and their gold missing.
* '''The Breaking of Threxzadur''': Octavius willingly drank of a trapped tanar'ri's power, freeing it and then defeating it. It will be reborn in the Abyss.
* '''Eight-legged Freedom''': Freed from their bonds, the goblin's infant ice spiders traveled north, to the icy mountain from which their eggs were stolen.
* '''Vix's Crown''': Sneaking through a sprawling goblin country, the party helped Vix the white kobold steal a Tuigan Helm of Command from the goblin leader.
* '''The Surviving Crossbowman''': Erik the eye-patched crossbowman was rescued from freezing to death by the party. He has foresworn adventuring and claims to be retiring.
* '''The Blood Sorceress''': Qualm and the rest of the dragon slaying party perished in Kissethkashaan's lair. The party happily looted them.
* '''The Rescued Coven-sister''': Elowen Stonereach, an offering of blood to the white dragon by the Nanraak Goblins, was rescued and whisked away. She makes way to the Dalelands to meet with her coven, who will likely travel to The Monolith of Stars to study it.
* '''The White Wyrm's Due''': Angered by the previous dragonslaying party's attempt on his life and another party escaping with his tribute, Kissethkashaan plots his revenge, remembering that one of the members of the first group was of Rashemi descent.
* '''The Piked Halfling''': Finn Fatfoot was charmed into giving up his dreamsilk and giving up Zhentarim secrets. He is on the run from authorities.
* '''The Cleansing of Hullack Forest''': A mindflayer cell, which had fled something in the Underdark, was eliminated by the party. Glenn (with the help of Shrieker) also drove the Zhentarim from his family's keep and had his curse removed. Drenn, the drow wizard in charge of this Zhentarim compound, gave the party information as to Manshoon's plans in Chuult in exchange for his life.
* '''Shrieker''': Glenn's father's Ranger General of his armies continues to patrol the region around Thunderstone, bringing justice to those that the Purple Dragon Knights cannot. Her shrieks in the night bring comfort to children and woe to brigrands. A Tuigan woman mentioned seeing her on the battlefield when Cormyr fought in an alliance against the Tuigan horde, referring to her as Glenn's father's "paramour" who saved him from an ambush. She can be summoned by lighting two pyres on the northern towers near the bridge to Hullack Forest.
* '''The Silver Blade''': Kith'rak Gaath had his entire githyanki strike force ambushed the party but were defeated. Gaath retreated, but had to leave his sword behind.
* '''Blessed Grains''': Lilia blessed the fields of the Tuigan people in an extended ritual, ensuring a bountiful harvest.
* '''The Imaskari Altar''': The party fought through sahuagin priests and destroyed an ancient Imaskari Altar that could animate undead thanks to a link to the Plane of Negative Energy.
* '''Peace on the Endless Wastes''': Peace was brokered between the Fankiang Traditionalists and Hubadai Loyalists, with the Fankiang receiving a seven year deal where they would patrol and tax the Golden Way. The Fankiang agreed to assist with Thay, and the Hubadai representative said he would bring it before their leader in Kourmira.
* '''The Justice of Hoar''': The head of Qara Sarn, a Fankiang member who attempted to leave Khan Borcha to her death, was served to Hoar as recompense for the slaying of one of his paladins. He accepted with three thunderstrikes, and Lureene Amblecrown assured that they had secured the Hoar Order's aid against Thay.
* '''Ribcage, Under New Management''': Uncovering Zelza's scheme to plunge Ribcage into the Nine Hells, Xarannos was installed as interim Duke of Ribcage. Zelza was consumed by Bel.
* '''The Third Hell's Door''': A portal to the third layer of the Nine Hells is now publicly known and guarded in the Beetle Bazaar. It's near a woman's burned-down shop. Don't say your favorite color.
* '''A Hag Still Remembers''': The Moss Hag swam through the mire of Minauros, fleeing as the party survived her trap, stole her soul coins, and even freed her Catoblepas. She may yet seek revenge or move on to safer prey.
* '''Tessavyr's Debt''': A rilmani, pinned to the earth by infernal spikes placed by a circle of succubi working for Zelza, thanked the party for its freedom, stating that they just need call its name toward the Spire should they ever need aid.

=== Curiosities ===
* '''The Unpowered Golem''': This still sits abandoned in the flooded depths of the Imaskari Tomb. The party also looted an Anti-Divinity Orb from the same location.
* '''The Unnamed Scholar''': The party looted the body of a female ghoul scholar with a bronze circlet, stuffing her into their Bag of Holding for later Speak-with-Dead questioning. They then proceeded to forget about it.
* '''The Bronze Rib''': A Bronze Rib in Minauros proves to be a foil to teleportation magic, although it did not look easy to move.
* '''Aunrae's Spellbook''': Aside from the Teleportation Circle spell, the dead drow's spellbook also had a loose sheet of sigils for all ten Undrek'Thoz drow-city states and the duergar city of Fraaszummdin.
* '''The Ring''': Galdren asked Diedric if Azhar, Diedric's adopted father and financier of his estate, still bore a ring with gemstones, and how many there were. Diedric confirmed there were two rubies with one inset blank. Galdren looked relieved.
* '''The Time-Skip Doppelganger''': Investigating a darkness at the heart of Thay, Galden and Navarra traced it to a doppelganger impersonating an Aglarond noble, and mid-interrogation they experienced a skip in time (candles instantly burned low) and the doppelganger was disintegrated to ash.
* '''The Interventionist Deva''': Zariel seemed like the crankiest out of the bunch at the Pavilion of Courage.

== The Story So Far ==

<p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 24px; font-weight: bold; color: #2a1f15; text-align: center; margin-bottom: 20px; border-bottom: 2px solid #2a1f15; padding-bottom: 10px;">Chapter 1: Memory</p>
A group of diverse adventurers, each on their own path, found themselves at '''Ironjaw's Mirth''' on the Thay-Rashemen border. Their chance meeting was interrupted by the '''Red Wizards of Thay''', led by Vezim Sepret, who '''captured everyone''' in retaliation for losses at the Grove of Stars.

Now mired in the conflict between Thay and Rashemen and en route to a slave camp, '''the party escaped''' with aid from '''Imzel Ulmokina''', a Wychlaran druid. A letter on Vezim revealed orders from '''Tharos Orakul, High Diviner of Surthay''', to slay '''"the owl"''' and capture '''"the amphibian"''' for study.

Imzel directed them to Lirensk to meet '''Galdren Murendar''', an ally against the Red Wizards. After a perilous journey across Lake Mulsantir, where they battled quippergulls and a Gelatinous Cube, they met Galdren, '''a rebel Red Wizard''' working to reform Thay. '''He tasked them with acquiring a Grand Sensory Stone from Sigil''', the City of Doors, casting their souls into the Astral Plane.

In the '''Astral Plane''', they helped a '''mathematician''' retrieve a variable stolen by a benign memory entity. Then, they escaped '''githyanki''' pursuers through a color pool to '''The Outlands''' -- after stealing their silver. Guided by a kind bariaur's words, they journeyed towards Sigil, encountering various planar entities (including water-sharing petitioners, imps, and a '''Rogue Modron''') and ultimately reached '''Ribcage''', the gate-town to the Nine Hells.

In Ribcage, they engaged in various intrigues: upgrading a Rogue Modron with infernal silver, binding an '''imp''' into servitude with the help of a '''slaad advocate''', aiding a falsely accused man, uncovering a '''cambion's''' scheme with a '''hag''', and participating in a Blood War skirmish. They finally found passage to '''Sigil''' beneath a bar stool.

In Sigil, they discovered '''Cedani's grandmother's''' ruined poetry shop and defeated the '''Summer Eladrin''' responsible. After recovering from near-death, they met with faction representatives and negotiated with '''Niara''', a Sensate Factotum, for a '''Grand Sensory Stone in exchange for locating Ember'''.

Their search brought them to The Velvet Harness inn, where a '''pegasus''' and '''deva''' led them to a vortex to the '''Elemental Plane of Air'''. There, they survived a harrowing fall with '''Ember''''s help, learning to navigate a realm where direction is a matter of perception. They landed in the courtyard of the '''Palace of the Winds''', a majestic djinn stronghold.

There, they agreed to help rescue a '''trapped djinn''' from the clutches of '''kobolds''', defeating the '''Avatar of Yan-C-Bin'''.

Victorious, they returned to Sigil, and acquired the '''Grand Sensory Stone''' at last. Joining factions and receiving pay from '''The Alley Reapers''', they returned to their bodies in '''The Rebel Estate'''.

Grateful, Galdren rewarded them with '''vast sums of jink''', a Weave-attuned sextant, and explained that he planned to use the stone to '''capture the memories of a deceased person''' who has information invaluable to their cause.

He bid the heroes rest, for now.

Returning from their astral journey with the '''Grand Sensory Stone''', the party awoke at '''The Rebel Estate''' to visions of '''Tharos Orakul''' warning '''Octavius''' away from Thay. '''Cedani''' departed for the Feywild, while '''Lilia Corydalis''', a starry witch seeking her missing coven sister, joined the group.

Sent to '''Urlingwood''' to cure '''Glenn's''' curse, the '''Wychlaran''' declared the barbs needed to be removed where they were cast. At the '''Monolith of Stars''', visions of fractured futures preceded a goblinoid assault. In the chaos, '''Octavius's''' latent '''planeswalker spark''' ignited, pulling them through the '''Blind Eternities''' to '''Mirrodin''' before willing them home.

Pursuing the stolen Monolith into the '''Underdark''', they uncovered drow treachery, slew the ogre assassin '''Vaergath''', and returned the relic to '''Urlingwood'''—shattering divination tools across the continent. In the '''High Country''', they freed and destroyed the demon '''Threxzadur''', then rescued '''Elowen Stonereach''' from the maw of '''Kissethkashaan''', the White Wyrm, escaping through another desperate planeswalk.

In '''Cormyr''', they infiltrated '''Phaulkon Manor''', battled '''illithid''' in '''Hullack Forest''', and finally broke '''Glenn's''' curse where '''Manshoon''' had cast it. '''Glenn''' emerged transformed, embracing both his nobility and his frog nature. '''Githyanki''' seekers arrived and were driven off; '''Kith'rak Gaath''' fled without his silver blade.

Flying east to the '''Endless Wastes''', they joined a paladin's quest for vengeance among warring '''Tuigan''' tribes. Beneath the '''Lake of Mists''', they destroyed an '''Imaskari''' altar of reanimation, collapsing its undead horde. The treacherous '''Qara Sarn's''' head became tribute to '''Hoar''', securing both tribes and the paladin order as allies.

'''Galdren''' revealed his purpose: capturing the memories of '''Navarra''', an ally slain by '''Tharos''' who knew of a weapon in the '''Fell Tower''' in a desert of '''purple sands'''. At her grave, his ritual bound her memories into the '''Grand Sensory Stone'''. He charged the heroes to carry it into the '''Outer Planes''', find her spirit, and deliver it—with '''Ember''' and her broken blue-tinted mask as their guides.

Bearing orb and mask into the '''Astral Plane''' and out through the '''Turquoise Color Pool''', they crossed a reshaped '''Outlands''' and the orchards of '''Sheela Peryroyl'''. Within sight of '''Ribcage''' they freed '''Tessavyr''', a rilmani pinned to the roadside by infernal spikes, who named a favor owed and bid them call toward the '''Spire'''.

In the city, '''Glenn's''' cheerful shout of "Green!" spoke the key to a hidden portal, dropping the party into '''Minauros''', where '''The Moss Hag''' loosed a dire troll in revenge for her ruined schemes. They shattered it, plundered her lair of thirty-three '''soul coins''', and burned her shop on their return.

'''Xarannos''' now ruled Ribcage, '''Zelza''' having been eaten by '''Bel'''. '''Unit 137's''' hellfire freed three innocent souls from the hag's coins. Passing to '''Sigil''' through the stool at '''The Bleeding Horn''', '''Diedric''' was pulled aside to stand before '''Selûne''' as the kobolds of '''The Howling Island''' reached home at last, and was named '''Favored'''. '''Ember''' sent them beneath the Cage to find the spirit-seeker '''Vistra Runehall'''.

Her trail led through '''Vos'Ultok''' to the deva '''Galenthias''', who carried them to '''Lunia''', where the pit lord '''Sulphaxus''' rose from the holy waters mortal and redeemed. At the '''Pavilion of Courage''' they learned Vistra hunts the spectre of a carpenter who betrayed a rebel to save a family he lost anyway. Through '''Khorvas's Pool''' they swam into '''Karasuthra''', the eternal midnight of the '''Beastlands''', a day and a half behind her.

== (Known) Active Plot Threads ==
''Last updated: 2026-07-30''

=== Main Quest: Seeking Navarra ===
* '''The Rebel Wizard''': Galdren Murendar, a rebel Red Wizard, seeks to undermine Thay to reform it. To this end, he has tasked the party with finding Navarra, a deceased ally. He seeks to reunite her spirit with her captured memories so he can find a way into the Fell Tower, in the Plains of Purple Dust, which is rumored to house a powerful weapon.
* '''The Spirit Seeker''': The party is currently tracking Vistra, a Spirit Seeker, in order to find Navarra's spirit. She is in Karasuthra in the Beastlands.
* '''Andren's Ledger''': Vistra is currently tracking the spirit of Andren, a man who betrayed his friend Tovaal in a failed attempt to save his family. She is on a contract from the Mercykillers.

=== Side Quests ===
* '''Hunting the Slavers''': Imzel Ulmokina, the druid that freed the party from captivity, was last heard to have been following the rest of the slave wagons, tracking them to their destination.
* '''Lake Mulsantir''': The lake south of Lirensk still suffers from Red Wizards having introduced aberrations in a past skirmish with the Rashemi.
* '''The Phaulkon-bane''': The clone of Manshoon who had assailed Glenn's keep is known to be heading for Chult, using the funds he made to hire the priests of Ubtao to transfer his soul to another body before this one fails him.
* '''Walking the Paths''': The party has learned of many paths (at least six) that can be tread to ascend the hierarchy of Mount Celestia. They need make a pledge to a representative of a Power to start their journey and may be asked to make a sacrifice. Upon walking the path, they will gain +2 to a chosen attribute.
* '''Namers and Berks''': Party members may seek to further their standing with their preferred Sigil faction, which may grant special abilities and privileges.
* '''The Monolith of Stars''': Still safe, it invites academic and divination study.
* '''The Elfmound''': Drenn, the drow wizard spared at Phaulkon Manor, spoke of a Permanency spell and other Netherese magics he found at The Elfmound.

=== Party Member Paths ===
* '''The Planeswalker''': Octavius's planeswalker spark ignited and his fastbond to lands he visits continues to increase his power, collecting fragments of planes to revisit them more easily. He seeks to write a dissertation on the extinct Batrachi race, and has a Weave-Attuned Sextant ready to deliver to a Slaad in Sigil who is interested in its study, as he feels it may draw a connection between the Batrachi race and all Slaad.
* '''A Curse Turned Boon''': Glenn embraced his frog form as his curse was cured, gaining the ability to "wield it as a shield" as his father taught him. He idly joked that he should "start collecting curses".
* '''Favored of Selune''': Blessed by the Moon Goddess for his leading of the lost, Diedric has been named Favored. This connection may continue to grow.
* '''Touched by a Telthor''': Having served as a host for the Telthor of Stars, Lilia can now conjure its constellation around her. As she continues to study stars from other planes, she may grow to understand the strange ones in the night sky above the Monolith, as they do not match that of Faerun's. She has secured access to the Grove of Stars for her coven-sisters, who may relocate once Elowen reaches them with the news.
* '''The Caltrop's Covenant''': Unit 137 continues to show more Hellish influence, including the ability to summon Happy, a tortured lemure, and sporting a pentagram inscribed on his form. In exchange for his infernal immortality, Unit 137 has incurred a debt to the hells and will need to serve them for 666 days at some point in the future.
* '''The Piked Contract''': Smokescale battles with the philosophy of being indentured to a bunch of piking level-headed bloods. Do his chains even matter anymore? His speaking circle truth was "I really want to corrupt the owl, drag him down to my level".

=== Prior Party Members ===
* '''The Star of the Climbing Warrior''': Uchu Buredo, in company of Cedani, continues to seek a way to his home world of Tsunadehoshi. His lead is that a "Vine-Warrior" was spotted in The Velvet Harness by the pegasus Kai. (God the DM did a lot of worldbuilding for this shit.) He also seeks revenge on Vex'riath, the githyanki creche leader of Zar'kash's Forge, who also escaped and survived as that spelljammer ship was destroyed by Uchu's psionic awakening.
* '''Smoke on the Water''': Cedani, having received an urgent message from Soveliss, sought to rescue him from peril. He had been on the way to Evermeet to seek Tharos's true name and had asked of Cedani for a delivery of a scale from a white abishai before being captured by unknown assailants. Diedric (during a session he missed) assisted them, rescuing him from a Troll's cookpot by trading a useless bauble. Cedani and Uchu then proceeded to the Feywild, where her patron had called for a meeting of the seasons in response to her poetry shop being burned down by the summer eladrin Aula. Octavius had subsequently seen visions of Cedani and Uchu in Minauros, being surrounded by hags and the corpses of dead eladrin of various seasons. Uchu's eyes turned red.
* '''The Pursued and Pursuer''': Chai evades cultists pursuing her for her Changeling heritage. She accompanies Cove to the Sea of Fallen Stars, where she seeks to find the prison island that she escaped as a child.

=== Pending ===
* '''The High Diviner''': Tharos Orakul, deprived of the Monolith, continues to suffer from a wasting disease. In desperation, he has met with the Githyanki.
* '''The Foreseen Assault''' Octavius foresaw an attack on the monolith by Kissethkashaan, likely in the month of Flamerule (two months after Mirtul). The vision showed one faerzress crystal already shattered, two wychlaran triplets freezing and shattering, and the Monolith cracking with a yellow light emanating from the crack, hinting at something within. This was shared with Galdren, who said he'd warn the Rashemi, so they should be forewarned.
* '''Hilt's Reward''': In thanks for the party's aid in getting Xarannos to represent him in his accusation against Zelza, he told them that Fredd, a proprietor of The Shaved Coin in The Below, keeps a chest of rubies that they both gathered by using a portal to a mineral-rich pocket of the Elemental Plane of Earth. This portal lies below the fighting pits and the key is blood, so it's usually open. Hilt is also a senator of Ribcage now.
* '''A Wedding on the Wind''': The party will be invited to Ember and Zekir al-Suhail's wedding. They'll hear his voice in the wind. A greater boon was promised. This will be in two years during his coronation.
* '''The Writer''': Atrus, an author of Ages, seeks to write a linking book to a location that can cure any ailment, including Glenn's. This may take him until the month of Kythorn. He had granted the party a linking book labeled "Myst", which they could use to visit him. The tram code is half of the clocktower's set time.
* '''The Bewildered Horse''': Barnaby, the awakened horse, was not at the Velvet Harness the last two visits. Barnaby will return.
* '''The Nyaning Leonin''': Rescued from certain doom on Mirrodin, Shadespine has run off to the Rashemi Berserker Lodge to join them.
* '''The Coven and the Monolith''' Lilia's coven will soon make way for the Grove of Stars to study it and the Monolith. They owe Lilia for this opportunity, and for rescuing Elowen.
* '''The Swordmaster's Road''' Cyrus, Glenn's swordmaster, will likely have been teleported to the War Wizards of Cormyr by Galdren's teleportation circle. He'll make way to Glenn's old keep to see it restored.

=== Visions ===
* ''(Averted)'' '''The Diviner's Prize''': Tharos Orakul's eyes staring at Octavius as he touches the Monolith inside of a grand tower. This diversion shattered divination implements across Faerun.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Convergence of Seasons''': Cedani and three other eladrin — Summer, Spring, and Autumn — navigating a bog as dark shapes surround them.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Blue Fire Falls''': Blue fire crisscrossing the sky, lines burning as Faerûn screams.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Moon in His Arm''': Diedric wielding Selûne in his left arm.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Elder Shadow''': A colossal brain hovering over a city on the Sword Coast, many tendrils hanging down.
* ''(Unlikely Future)'' '''The Psion's Crown''': Uchu, resolute, placing a silver helmet with silver cables attached — as neon explosions appear behind him.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Skycleaver''': A colossal axe parting the clouds.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Crown of Daggers''': Unit 137 wearing a crown of daggers as a legion of devils cheer.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Melting Wings''': Devil wings melting in water.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Frog and the Falcon''': A frog riding a falcon over foggy green hills.
* ''(Happened — planeswalker spark ignition)'' '''The Fire Within''': A flame burning Octavius from within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Obelisk Laid Low''': The obelisk lying on its side in the sunlight.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Parting of Stars''': Lilia throwing her arms to the side, stars following her command and splitting the sky in twain.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Gauntlet of Golden Nails''': Diedric struggling to breathe as a hand bearing a strange gauntlet -- five rings, joined by golden chains, terminating in a golden nail on each finger -- lifted him up.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Marching Dead''': Undead shuffling in great masses, Thaymount erupting in the background.
* ''(Happened)'' '''Ten Seconds From Now''': An ogre crashing through the trees, charging at Octavius as he turns from facing the Monolith… ten seconds from now.
* ''(Future)'' '''Winter Comes to the Grove''': The Grove of Stars. Kissethkashaan, enraged, breathes a cone of cold in a sweeping pass. One of the faerzress crystals is already shattered. Two wychlaran triplets shatter to ice. The Monolith of Stars begins to crack under the cold — and a yellow light emanates from a large crack, implying something within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Red Rage''': Uchu and Cedani stand back-to-back in a bog beneath a dark fey sky as three hags approach from all sides. Dead eladrin of various seasons are scattered around them, sinking. Uchu looks to Cedani, who nods grimly. His glowing blue eyes and blue daggers turn red and he begins howling in a berserker rage.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Lich-Queen's Audience''': Hovering in the Astral Plane: a bald Red Wizard, Tharos Orakul, bowing and coughing blood as a colossal undead githyanki woman sits on a throne, examining her hand, projecting boredom while failing to conceal a glint in her eye. She notices Octavius before the vision fades.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Chorus of Stones''': B'ian Ch'k Ch'k kneels shirtless inside of a low wagon as dozens of sending stones begin vibrating all at once, voices whispering and shouting in various languages. He turns as he hears screaming outside.

=== B'ian Fact Facts ===
* In 1368 DR, B'ian Ch'k Ch'k hid ''inside'' a Candlekeep bookshelf during the doppelganger purge in the wake of the Bhaalspawn.
* In 1370 DR, B'ian Ch'k Ch'k was gifted a traveling wagon by the halfling nation of Luiren for his assistance in averting a flooding crisis. It was engineered by a halfling knight of Gond.

=== Consequences ===
* '''The Mirth of the Ironjaws''': With Hulmarra Ironjaw's death, and the burning of Ironjaw's Mirth, her surviving 11 sisters are likely to have heard of the events by now.
* '''The Charmed Guard:''' Thenn, the Thayan guard charmed during the escape from the Red Wizard wagons, was taken as prisoner by Imzel. He now lives as a servant to a woman in the Grove of Stars that is foreseen to be his wife. It's an awkward relationship.
* '''The Grand Concordance''': Aristeus, a mathematician culturally spending his last days in the Astral Plane, was aided by the party who recovered a variable for him from a memory entity. His allowed him to complete a masterwork that describes the Four Compulsions and the Veil. It seems of important scientific and philosophical importance.
* '''The Silver Skiff''': Vlaakith grows irked by the unanswered theft, three fireballed githyanki, a lost apprentice, the loss of Gaath's ambush team, with one of the apprentices banished and being specifically told to "Tell Vlaakith to leave us alone!". Octavius's vision of an ill Tharos Orakul groveling before her may be of greater import however.
* '''The Lost Githyanki''': Viran, apprentice of Kith'rak Gaath, was led astray by the Alley Reapers in his pursuit of the party and is likely imprisoned in the plane of Carceri.
* '''The Doomed Noble:''' The sickly noble on a balcony in Ribcage is probably super, super dead by now. He's been replaced by a younger noble, flanked by the same red and green cambion ladies.
* '''A Hag Remembers''': The Moss Hag's scheme to secure souls with Luciel foiled, she set a trap whilst Luciel fled the city.
* '''The Alley Reapers:''' They believe Cedani is an agent for a person named Boppel, the "high-up man". They were paying her a cut of their take in the Hive Ward. While she's no longer with the party, they will consider them associates.
* '''Yan-C-in-the-Bin''': Yan-C-Bin will not soon forget the defeat of his avatar at the hands of interlopers from the Prime Material Plane.
* '''The Djinn Prince''': Rescued from a sacrifial rite, the Prince gifted the party a Carpet of Flying and promised great gifts on his wedding day.
* '''The Kobold Pilgrimage''': Spared by Diedric, kobolds worshipping Yan-C-Bin fled back to their tempestuous homeworld, now guided by a familiar moon goddess.
* '''The Telthor of Stars''': Diviners clashed and Tharos was robbed of his fate of securing the Monolith of Stars via a route in the Underdark. The Telthor still lives within, watching over the Rashemi as their tribes unite to select a new Iron Lord. Grimsnarl, an awakened wolf, invited the party's voices in selecting the next Iron Lord as the lodges gather. His own pick: "a simpleton, but his dajemma is legendary -- he travels still with the child of Bhaal on the Sword Coast."
* '''The Drow Wizardress''': Murdered by Octavius, Aunrae Drezz'Lynur was freelancing while under the guise of serving Matron Zorratha. In reality, she was playing Tharos and the duergar against each other. Matron Zorratha wonders what came of the Monolith.
* '''The Unpaid Duergar''': Expecting a payment for pick-up and delivery of the Monolith of Stars, the duergar just found an empty battleground and their gold missing.
* '''The Breaking of Threxzadur''': Octavius willingly drank of a trapped tanar'ri's power, freeing it and then defeating it. It will be reborn in the Abyss.
* '''Eight-legged Freedom''': Freed from their bonds, the goblin's infant ice spiders traveled north, to the icy mountain from which their eggs were stolen.
* '''Vix's Crown''': Sneaking through a sprawling goblin country, the party helped Vix the white kobold steal a Tuigan Helm of Command from the goblin leader.
* '''The Surviving Crossbowman''': Erik the eye-patched crossbowman was rescued from freezing to death by the party. He has foresworn adventuring and claims to be retiring.
* '''The Blood Sorceress''': Qualm and the rest of the dragon slaying party perished in Kissethkashaan's lair. The party happily looted them.
* '''The Rescued Coven-sister''': Elowen Stonereach, an offering of blood to the white dragon by the Nanraak Goblins, was rescued and whisked away. She makes way to the Dalelands to meet with her coven, who will likely travel to The Monolith of Stars to study it.
* '''The White Wyrm's Due''': Angered by the previous dragonslaying party's attempt on his life and another party escaping with his tribute, Kissethkashaan plots his revenge, remembering that one of the members of the first group was of Rashemi descent.
* '''The Piked Halfling''': Finn Fatfoot was charmed into giving up his dreamsilk and giving up Zhentarim secrets. He is on the run from authorities.
* '''The Cleansing of Hullack Forest''': A mindflayer cell, which had fled something in the Underdark, was eliminated by the party. Glenn (with the help of Shrieker) also drove the Zhentarim from his family's keep and had his curse removed. Drenn, the drow wizard in charge of this Zhentarim compound, gave the party information as to Manshoon's plans in Chuult in exchange for his life.
* '''Shrieker''': Glenn's father's Ranger General of his armies continues to patrol the region around Thunderstone, bringing justice to those that the Purple Dragon Knights cannot. Her shrieks in the night bring comfort to children and woe to brigrands. A Tuigan woman mentioned seeing her on the battlefield when Cormyr fought in an alliance against the Tuigan horde, referring to her as Glenn's father's "paramour" who saved him from an ambush. She can be summoned by lighting two pyres on the northern towers near the bridge to Hullack Forest.
* '''The Silver Blade''': Kith'rak Gaath had his entire githyanki strike force ambushed the party but were defeated. Gaath retreated, but had to leave his sword behind.
* '''Blessed Grains''': Lilia blessed the fields of the Tuigan people in an extended ritual, ensuring a bountiful harvest.
* '''The Imaskari Altar''': The party fought through sahuagin priests and destroyed an ancient Imaskari Altar that could animate undead thanks to a link to the Plane of Negative Energy.
* '''Peace on the Endless Wastes''': Peace was brokered between the Fankiang Traditionalists and Hubadai Loyalists, with the Fankiang receiving a seven year deal where they would patrol and tax the Golden Way. The Fankiang agreed to assist with Thay, and the Hubadai representative said he would bring it before their leader in Kourmira.
* '''The Justice of Hoar''': The head of Qara Sarn, a Fankiang member who attempted to leave Khan Borcha to her death, was served to Hoar as recompense for the slaying of one of his paladins. He accepted with three thunderstrikes, and Lureene Amblecrown assured that they had secured the Hoar Order's aid against Thay.
* '''Ribcage, Under New Management''': Uncovering Zelza's scheme to plunge Ribcage into the Nine Hells, Xarannos was installed as interim Duke of Ribcage. Zelza was consumed by Bel.
* '''The Third Hell's Door''': A portal to the third layer of the Nine Hells is now publicly known and guarded in the Beetle Bazaar. It's near a woman's burned-down shop. Don't say your favorite color.
* '''A Hag Still Remembers''': The Moss Hag swam through the mire of Minauros, fleeing as the party survived her trap, stole her soul coins, and even freed her Catoblepas. She may yet seek revenge or move on to safer prey.
* '''Tessavyr's Debt''': A rilmani, pinned to the earth by infernal spikes placed by a circle of succubi working for Zelza, thanked the party for its freedom, stating that they just need call its name toward the Spire should they ever need aid.

=== Curiosities ===
* '''The Unpowered Golem''': This still sits abandoned in the flooded depths of the Imaskari Tomb. The party also looted an Anti-Divinity Orb from the same location.
* '''The Unnamed Scholar''': The party looted the body of a female ghoul scholar with a bronze circlet, stuffing her into their Bag of Holding for later Speak-with-Dead questioning. They then proceeded to forget about it.
* '''The Bronze Rib''': A Bronze Rib in Minauros proves to be a foil to teleportation magic, although it did not look easy to move.
* '''Aunrae's Spellbook''': Aside from the Teleportation Circle spell, the dead drow's spellbook also had a loose sheet of sigils for all ten Undrek'Thoz drow-city states and the duergar city of Fraaszummdin.
* '''The Ring''': Galdren asked Diedric if Azhar, Diedric's adopted father and financier of his estate, still bore a ring with gemstones, and how many there were. Diedric confirmed there were two rubies with one inset blank. Galdren looked relieved.
* '''The Time-Skip Doppelganger''': Investigating a darkness at the heart of Thay, Galden and Navarra traced it to a doppelganger impersonating an Aglarond noble, and mid-interrogation they experienced a skip in time (candles instantly burned low) and the doppelganger was disintegrated to ash.
* '''The Interventionist Deva''': Zariel seemed like the crankiest out of the bunch at the Pavilion of Courage.

== The Story So Far ==

<p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 24px; font-weight: bold; color: #2a1f15; text-align: center; margin-bottom: 20px; border-bottom: 2px solid #2a1f15; padding-bottom: 10px;">Chapter 1: Memory</p>
A group of diverse adventurers, each on their own path, found themselves at '''Ironjaw's Mirth''' on the Thay-Rashemen border. Their chance meeting was interrupted by the '''Red Wizards of Thay''', led by Vezim Sepret, who '''captured everyone''' in retaliation for losses at the Grove of Stars.

Now mired in the conflict between Thay and Rashemen and en route to a slave camp, '''the party escaped''' with aid from '''Imzel Ulmokina''', a Wychlaran druid. A letter on Vezim revealed orders from '''Tharos Orakul, High Diviner of Surthay''', to slay '''"the owl"''' and capture '''"the amphibian"''' for study.

Imzel directed them to Lirensk to meet '''Galdren Murendar''', an ally against the Red Wizards. After a perilous journey across Lake Mulsantir, where they battled quippergulls and a Gelatinous Cube, they met Galdren, '''a rebel Red Wizard''' working to reform Thay. '''He tasked them with acquiring a Grand Sensory Stone from Sigil''', the City of Doors, casting their souls into the Astral Plane.

In the '''Astral Plane''', they helped a '''mathematician''' retrieve a variable stolen by a benign memory entity. Then, they escaped '''githyanki''' pursuers through a color pool to '''The Outlands''' -- after stealing their silver. Guided by a kind bariaur's words, they journeyed towards Sigil, encountering various planar entities (including water-sharing petitioners, imps, and a '''Rogue Modron''') and ultimately reached '''Ribcage''', the gate-town to the Nine Hells.

In Ribcage, they engaged in various intrigues: upgrading a Rogue Modron with infernal silver, binding an '''imp''' into servitude with the help of a '''slaad advocate''', aiding a falsely accused man, uncovering a '''cambion's''' scheme with a '''hag''', and participating in a Blood War skirmish. They finally found passage to '''Sigil''' beneath a bar stool.

In Sigil, they discovered '''Cedani's grandmother's''' ruined poetry shop and defeated the '''Summer Eladrin''' responsible. After recovering from near-death, they met with faction representatives and negotiated with '''Niara''', a Sensate Factotum, for a '''Grand Sensory Stone in exchange for locating Ember'''.

Their search brought them to The Velvet Harness inn, where a '''pegasus''' and '''deva''' led them to a vortex to the '''Elemental Plane of Air'''. There, they survived a harrowing fall with '''Ember''''s help, learning to navigate a realm where direction is a matter of perception. They landed in the courtyard of the '''Palace of the Winds''', a majestic djinn stronghold.

There, they agreed to help rescue a '''trapped djinn''' from the clutches of '''kobolds''', defeating the '''Avatar of Yan-C-Bin'''.

Victorious, they returned to Sigil, and acquired the '''Grand Sensory Stone''' at last. Joining factions and receiving pay from '''The Alley Reapers''', they returned to their bodies in '''The Rebel Estate'''.

Grateful, Galdren rewarded them with '''vast sums of jink''', a Weave-attuned sextant, and explained that he planned to use the stone to '''capture the memories of a deceased person''' who has information invaluable to their cause.

He bid the heroes rest, for now.

Returning from their astral journey with the '''Grand Sensory Stone''', the party awoke at '''The Rebel Estate''' to visions of '''Tharos Orakul''' warning '''Octavius''' away from Thay. '''Cedani''' departed for the Feywild, while '''Lilia Corydalis''', a starry witch seeking her missing coven sister, joined the group.

Sent to '''Urlingwood''' to cure '''Glenn's''' curse, the '''Wychlaran''' declared the barbs needed to be removed where they were cast. At the '''Monolith of Stars''', visions of fractured futures preceded a goblinoid assault. In the chaos, '''Octavius's''' latent '''planeswalker spark''' ignited, pulling them through the '''Blind Eternities''' to '''Mirrodin''' before willing them home.

Pursuing the stolen Monolith into the '''Underdark''', they uncovered drow treachery, slew the ogre assassin '''Vaergath''', and returned the relic to '''Urlingwood'''—shattering divination tools across the continent. In the '''High Country''', they freed and destroyed the demon '''Threxzadur''', then rescued '''Elowen Stonereach''' from the maw of '''Kissethkashaan''', the White Wyrm, escaping through another desperate planeswalk.

In '''Cormyr''', they infiltrated '''Phaulkon Manor''', battled '''illithid''' in '''Hullack Forest''', and finally broke '''Glenn's''' curse where '''Manshoon''' had cast it. '''Glenn''' emerged transformed, embracing both his nobility and his frog nature. '''Githyanki''' seekers arrived and were driven off; '''Kith'rak Gaath''' fled without his silver blade.

Flying east to the '''Endless Wastes''', they joined a paladin's quest for vengeance among warring '''Tuigan''' tribes. Beneath the '''Lake of Mists''', they destroyed an '''Imaskari''' altar of reanimation, collapsing its undead horde. The treacherous '''Qara Sarn's''' head became tribute to '''Hoar''', securing both tribes and the paladin order as allies.

'''Galdren''' revealed his purpose: capturing the memories of '''Navarra''', an ally slain by '''Tharos''' who knew of a weapon in the '''Fell Tower''' in a desert of '''purple sands'''. At her grave, his ritual bound her memories into the '''Grand Sensory Stone'''. He charged the heroes to carry it into the '''Outer Planes''', find her spirit, and deliver it—with '''Ember''' and her broken blue-tinted mask as their guides.

Bearing orb and mask into the '''Astral Plane''' and out through the '''Turquoise Color Pool''', they crossed a reshaped '''Outlands''' and the orchards of '''Sheela Peryroyl'''. Within sight of '''Ribcage''' they freed '''Tessavyr''', a rilmani pinned to the roadside by infernal spikes, who named a favor owed and bid them call toward the '''Spire'''.

In the city, '''Glenn's''' cheerful shout of "Green!" spoke the key to a hidden portal, dropping the party into '''Minauros''', where '''The Moss Hag''' loosed a dire troll in revenge for her ruined schemes. They shattered it, plundered her lair of thirty-three '''soul coins''', and burned her shop on their return.

'''Xarannos''' now ruled Ribcage, '''Zelza''' having been eaten by '''Bel'''. '''Unit 137's''' hellfire freed three innocent souls from the hag's coins. Passing to '''Sigil''' through the stool at '''The Bleeding Horn''', '''Diedric''' was pulled aside to stand before '''Selûne''' as the kobolds of '''The Howling Island''' reached home at last, and was named '''Favored'''. '''Ember''' sent them beneath the Cage to find the spirit-seeker '''Vistra Runehall'''.

Her trail led through '''Vos'Ultok''' to the deva '''Galenthias''', who carried them to '''Lunia''', where the pit lord '''Sulphaxus''' rose from the holy waters mortal and redeemed. At the '''Pavilion of Courage''' they learned Vistra hunts the spectre of a carpenter who betrayed a rebel to save a family he lost anyway. Through '''Khorvas's Pool''' they swam into '''Karasuthra''', the eternal midnight of the '''Beastlands''', a day and a half behind her.

== (Known) Active Plot Threads ==
''Last updated: 2026-07-30''

=== Main Quest: Seeking Navarra ===
* '''The Rebel Wizard''': Galdren Murendar, a rebel Red Wizard, seeks to undermine Thay to reform it. To this end, he has tasked the party with finding Navarra, a deceased ally. He seeks to reunite her spirit with her captured memories so he can find a way into the Fell Tower, in the Plains of Purple Dust, which is rumored to house a powerful weapon.
* '''The Spirit Seeker''': The party is currently tracking Vistra, a Spirit Seeker, in order to find Navarra's spirit. She is in Karasuthra in the Beastlands.
* '''Andren's Ledger''': Vistra is currently tracking the spirit of Andren, a man who betrayed his friend Tovaal in a failed attempt to save his family. She is on a contract from the Mercykillers.

=== Side Quests ===
* '''Hunting the Slavers''': Imzel Ulmokina, the druid that freed the party from captivity, was last heard to have been following the rest of the slave wagons, tracking them to their destination.
* '''Lake Mulsantir''': The lake south of Lirensk still suffers from Red Wizards having introduced aberrations in a past skirmish with the Rashemi.
* '''The Phaulkon-bane''': The clone of Manshoon who had assailed Glenn's keep is known to be heading for Chult, using the funds he made to hire the priests of Ubtao to transfer his soul to another body before this one fails him.
* '''Walking the Paths''': The party has learned of many paths (at least six) that can be tread to ascend the hierarchy of Mount Celestia. They need make a pledge to a representative of a Power to start their journey and may be asked to make a sacrifice. Upon walking the path, they will gain +2 to a chosen attribute.
* '''Namers and Berks''': Party members may seek to further their standing with their preferred Sigil faction, which may grant special abilities and privileges.
* '''The Monolith of Stars''': Still safe, it invites academic and divination study.
* '''The Elfmound''': Drenn, the drow wizard spared at Phaulkon Manor, spoke of a Permanency spell and other Netherese magics he found at The Elfmound.

=== Party Member Paths ===
* '''The Planeswalker''': Octavius's planeswalker spark ignited and his fastbond to lands he visits continues to increase his power, collecting fragments of planes to revisit them more easily. He seeks to write a dissertation on the extinct Batrachi race, and has a Weave-Attuned Sextant ready to deliver to a Slaad in Sigil who is interested in its study, as he feels it may draw a connection between the Batrachi race and all Slaad.
* '''A Curse Turned Boon''': Glenn embraced his frog form as his curse was cured, gaining the ability to "wield it as a shield" as his father taught him. He idly joked that he should "start collecting curses".
* '''Favored of Selune''': Blessed by the Moon Goddess for his leading of the lost, Diedric has been named Favored. This connection may continue to grow.
* '''Touched by a Telthor''': Having served as a host for the Telthor of Stars, Lilia can now conjure its constellation around her. As she continues to study stars from other planes, she may grow to understand the strange ones in the night sky above the Monolith, as they do not match that of Faerun's. She has secured access to the Grove of Stars for her coven-sisters, who may relocate once Elowen reaches them with the news.
* '''The Caltrop's Covenant''': Unit 137 continues to show more Hellish influence, including the ability to summon Happy, a tortured lemure, and sporting a pentagram inscribed on his form. In exchange for his infernal immortality, Unit 137 has incurred a debt to the hells and will need to serve them for 666 days at some point in the future.
* '''The Piked Contract''': Smokescale battles with the philosophy of being indentured to a bunch of piking level-headed bloods. Do his chains even matter anymore? His speaking circle truth was "I really want to corrupt the owl, drag him down to my level".

=== Prior Party Members ===
* '''The Star of the Climbing Warrior''': Uchu Buredo, in company of Cedani, continues to seek a way to his home world of Tsunadehoshi. His lead is that a "Vine-Warrior" was spotted in The Velvet Harness by the pegasus Kai. (God the DM did a lot of worldbuilding for this shit.) He also seeks revenge on Vex'riath, the githyanki creche leader of Zar'kash's Forge, who also escaped and survived as that spelljammer ship was destroyed by Uchu's psionic awakening.
* '''Smoke on the Water''': Cedani, having received an urgent message from Soveliss, sought to rescue him from peril. He had been on the way to Evermeet to seek Tharos's true name and had asked of Cedani for a delivery of a scale from a white abishai before being captured by unknown assailants. Diedric (during a session he missed) assisted them, rescuing him from a Troll's cookpot by trading a useless bauble. Cedani and Uchu then proceeded to the Feywild, where her patron had called for a meeting of the seasons in response to her poetry shop being burned down by the summer eladrin Aula. Octavius had subsequently seen visions of Cedani and Uchu in Minauros, being surrounded by hags and the corpses of dead eladrin of various seasons. Uchu's eyes turned red.
* '''The Pursued and Pursuer''': Chai evades cultists pursuing her for her Changeling heritage. She accompanies Cove to the Sea of Fallen Stars, where she seeks to find the prison island that she escaped as a child.

=== Pending ===
* '''The High Diviner''': Tharos Orakul, deprived of the Monolith, continues to suffer from a wasting disease. In desperation, he has met with the Githyanki.
* '''The Foreseen Assault''' Octavius foresaw an attack on the monolith by Kissethkashaan, likely in the month of Flamerule (two months after Mirtul). The vision showed one faerzress crystal already shattered, two wychlaran triplets freezing and shattering, and the Monolith cracking with a yellow light emanating from the crack, hinting at something within. This was shared with Galdren, who said he'd warn the Rashemi, so they should be forewarned.
* '''Hilt's Reward''': In thanks for the party's aid in getting Xarannos to represent him in his accusation against Zelza, he told them that Fredd, a proprietor of The Shaved Coin in The Below, keeps a chest of rubies that they both gathered by using a portal to a mineral-rich pocket of the Elemental Plane of Earth. This portal lies below the fighting pits and the key is blood, so it's usually open. Hilt is also a senator of Ribcage now.
* '''A Wedding on the Wind''': The party will be invited to Ember and Zekir al-Suhail's wedding. They'll hear his voice in the wind. A greater boon was promised. This will be in two years during his coronation.
* '''The Writer''': Atrus, an author of Ages, seeks to write a linking book to a location that can cure any ailment, including Glenn's. This may take him until the month of Kythorn. He had granted the party a linking book labeled "Myst", which they could use to visit him. The tram code is half of the clocktower's set time.
* '''The Bewildered Horse''': Barnaby, the awakened horse, was not at the Velvet Harness the last two visits. Barnaby will return.
* '''The Nyaning Leonin''': Rescued from certain doom on Mirrodin, Shadespine has run off to the Rashemi Berserker Lodge to join them.
* '''The Coven and the Monolith''' Lilia's coven will soon make way for the Grove of Stars to study it and the Monolith. They owe Lilia for this opportunity, and for rescuing Elowen.
* '''The Swordmaster's Road''' Cyrus, Glenn's swordmaster, will likely have been teleported to the War Wizards of Cormyr by Galdren's teleportation circle. He'll make way to Glenn's old keep to see it restored.

=== Visions ===
* ''(Averted)'' '''The Diviner's Prize''': Tharos Orakul's eyes staring at Octavius as he touches the Monolith inside of a grand tower. This diversion shattered divination implements across Faerun.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Convergence of Seasons''': Cedani and three other eladrin — Summer, Spring, and Autumn — navigating a bog as dark shapes surround them.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Blue Fire Falls''': Blue fire crisscrossing the sky, lines burning as Faerûn screams.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Moon in His Arm''': Diedric wielding Selûne in his left arm.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Elder Shadow''': A colossal brain hovering over a city on the Sword Coast, many tendrils hanging down.
* ''(Unlikely Future)'' '''The Psion's Crown''': Uchu, resolute, placing a silver helmet with silver cables attached — as neon explosions appear behind him.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Skycleaver''': A colossal axe parting the clouds.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Crown of Daggers''': Unit 137 wearing a crown of daggers as a legion of devils cheer.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Melting Wings''': Devil wings melting in water.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Frog and the Falcon''': A frog riding a falcon over foggy green hills.
* ''(Happened — planeswalker spark ignition)'' '''The Fire Within''': A flame burning Octavius from within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Obelisk Laid Low''': The obelisk lying on its side in the sunlight.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Parting of Stars''': Lilia throwing her arms to the side, stars following her command and splitting the sky in twain.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Gauntlet of Golden Nails''': Diedric struggling to breathe as a hand bearing a strange gauntlet -- five rings, joined by golden chains, terminating in a golden nail on each finger -- lifted him up.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Marching Dead''': Undead shuffling in great masses, Thaymount erupting in the background.
* ''(Happened)'' '''Ten Seconds From Now''': An ogre crashing through the trees, charging at Octavius as he turns from facing the Monolith… ten seconds from now.
* ''(Future)'' '''Winter Comes to the Grove''': The Grove of Stars. Kissethkashaan, enraged, breathes a cone of cold in a sweeping pass. One of the faerzress crystals is already shattered. Two wychlaran triplets shatter to ice. The Monolith of Stars begins to crack under the cold — and a yellow light emanates from a large crack, implying something within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Red Rage''': Uchu and Cedani stand back-to-back in a bog beneath a dark fey sky as three hags approach from all sides. Dead eladrin of various seasons are scattered around them, sinking. Uchu looks to Cedani, who nods grimly. His glowing blue eyes and blue daggers turn red and he begins howling in a berserker rage.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Lich-Queen's Audience''': Hovering in the Astral Plane: a bald Red Wizard, Tharos Orakul, bowing and coughing blood as a colossal undead githyanki woman sits on a throne, examining her hand, projecting boredom while failing to conceal a glint in her eye. She notices Octavius before the vision fades.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Chorus of Stones''': B'ian Ch'k Ch'k kneels shirtless inside of a low wagon as dozens of sending stones begin vibrating all at once, voices whispering and shouting in various languages. He turns as he hears screaming outside.

=== B'ian Fact Facts ===
* In 1368 DR, B'ian Ch'k Ch'k hid ''inside'' a Candlekeep bookshelf during the doppelganger purge in the wake of the Bhaalspawn.
* In 1370 DR, B'ian Ch'k Ch'k was gifted a traveling wagon by the halfling nation of Luiren for his assistance in averting a flooding crisis. It was engineered by a halfling knight of Gond.

=== Consequences ===
* '''The Mirth of the Ironjaws''': With Hulmarra Ironjaw's death, and the burning of Ironjaw's Mirth, her surviving 11 sisters are likely to have heard of the events by now.
* '''The Charmed Guard:''' Thenn, the Thayan guard charmed during the escape from the Red Wizard wagons, was taken as prisoner by Imzel. He now lives as a servant to a woman in the Grove of Stars that is foreseen to be his wife. It's an awkward relationship.
* '''The Grand Concordance''': Aristeus, a mathematician culturally spending his last days in the Astral Plane, was aided by the party who recovered a variable for him from a memory entity. His allowed him to complete a masterwork that describes the Four Compulsions and the Veil. It seems of important scientific and philosophical importance.
* '''The Silver Skiff''': Vlaakith grows irked by the unanswered theft, three fireballed githyanki, a lost apprentice, the loss of Gaath's ambush team, with one of the apprentices banished and being specifically told to "Tell Vlaakith to leave us alone!". Octavius's vision of an ill Tharos Orakul groveling before her may be of greater import however.
* '''The Lost Githyanki''': Viran, apprentice of Kith'rak Gaath, was led astray by the Alley Reapers in his pursuit of the party and is likely imprisoned in the plane of Carceri.
* '''The Doomed Noble:''' The sickly noble on a balcony in Ribcage is probably super, super dead by now. He's been replaced by a younger noble, flanked by the same red and green cambion ladies.
* '''A Hag Remembers''': The Moss Hag's scheme to secure souls with Luciel foiled, she set a trap whilst Luciel fled the city.
* '''The Alley Reapers:''' They believe Cedani is an agent for a person named Boppel, the "high-up man". They were paying her a cut of their take in the Hive Ward. While she's no longer with the party, they will consider them associates.
* '''Yan-C-in-the-Bin''': Yan-C-Bin will not soon forget the defeat of his avatar at the hands of interlopers from the Prime Material Plane.
* '''The Djinn Prince''': Rescued from a sacrifial rite, the Prince gifted the party a Carpet of Flying and promised great gifts on his wedding day.
* '''The Kobold Pilgrimage''': Spared by Diedric, kobolds worshipping Yan-C-Bin fled back to their tempestuous homeworld, now guided by a familiar moon goddess.
* '''The Telthor of Stars''': Diviners clashed and Tharos was robbed of his fate of securing the Monolith of Stars via a route in the Underdark. The Telthor still lives within, watching over the Rashemi as their tribes unite to select a new Iron Lord. Grimsnarl, an awakened wolf, invited the party's voices in selecting the next Iron Lord as the lodges gather. His own pick: "a simpleton, but his dajemma is legendary -- he travels still with the child of Bhaal on the Sword Coast."
* '''The Drow Wizardress''': Murdered by Octavius, Aunrae Drezz'Lynur was freelancing while under the guise of serving Matron Zorratha. In reality, she was playing Tharos and the duergar against each other. Matron Zorratha wonders what came of the Monolith.
* '''The Unpaid Duergar''': Expecting a payment for pick-up and delivery of the Monolith of Stars, the duergar just found an empty battleground and their gold missing.
* '''The Breaking of Threxzadur''': Octavius willingly drank of a trapped tanar'ri's power, freeing it and then defeating it. It will be reborn in the Abyss.
* '''Eight-legged Freedom''': Freed from their bonds, the goblin's infant ice spiders traveled north, to the icy mountain from which their eggs were stolen.
* '''Vix's Crown''': Sneaking through a sprawling goblin country, the party helped Vix the white kobold steal a Tuigan Helm of Command from the goblin leader.
* '''The Surviving Crossbowman''': Erik the eye-patched crossbowman was rescued from freezing to death by the party. He has foresworn adventuring and claims to be retiring.
* '''The Blood Sorceress''': Qualm and the rest of the dragon slaying party perished in Kissethkashaan's lair. The party happily looted them.
* '''The Rescued Coven-sister''': Elowen Stonereach, an offering of blood to the white dragon by the Nanraak Goblins, was rescued and whisked away. She makes way to the Dalelands to meet with her coven, who will likely travel to The Monolith of Stars to study it.
* '''The White Wyrm's Due''': Angered by the previous dragonslaying party's attempt on his life and another party escaping with his tribute, Kissethkashaan plots his revenge, remembering that one of the members of the first group was of Rashemi descent.
* '''The Piked Halfling''': Finn Fatfoot was charmed into giving up his dreamsilk and giving up Zhentarim secrets. He is on the run from authorities.
* '''The Cleansing of Hullack Forest''': A mindflayer cell, which had fled something in the Underdark, was eliminated by the party. Glenn (with the help of Shrieker) also drove the Zhentarim from his family's keep and had his curse removed. Drenn, the drow wizard in charge of this Zhentarim compound, gave the party information as to Manshoon's plans in Chuult in exchange for his life.
* '''Shrieker''': Glenn's father's Ranger General of his armies continues to patrol the region around Thunderstone, bringing justice to those that the Purple Dragon Knights cannot. Her shrieks in the night bring comfort to children and woe to brigrands. A Tuigan woman mentioned seeing her on the battlefield when Cormyr fought in an alliance against the Tuigan horde, referring to her as Glenn's father's "paramour" who saved him from an ambush. She can be summoned by lighting two pyres on the northern towers near the bridge to Hullack Forest.
* '''The Silver Blade''': Kith'rak Gaath had his entire githyanki strike force ambushed the party but were defeated. Gaath retreated, but had to leave his sword behind.
* '''Blessed Grains''': Lilia blessed the fields of the Tuigan people in an extended ritual, ensuring a bountiful harvest.
* '''The Imaskari Altar''': The party fought through sahuagin priests and destroyed an ancient Imaskari Altar that could animate undead thanks to a link to the Plane of Negative Energy.
* '''Peace on the Endless Wastes''': Peace was brokered between the Fankiang Traditionalists and Hubadai Loyalists, with the Fankiang receiving a seven year deal where they would patrol and tax the Golden Way. The Fankiang agreed to assist with Thay, and the Hubadai representative said he would bring it before their leader in Kourmira.
* '''The Justice of Hoar''': The head of Qara Sarn, a Fankiang member who attempted to leave Khan Borcha to her death, was served to Hoar as recompense for the slaying of one of his paladins. He accepted with three thunderstrikes, and Lureene Amblecrown assured that they had secured the Hoar Order's aid against Thay.
* '''Ribcage, Under New Management''': Uncovering Zelza's scheme to plunge Ribcage into the Nine Hells, Xarannos was installed as interim Duke of Ribcage. Zelza was consumed by Bel.
* '''The Third Hell's Door''': A portal to the third layer of the Nine Hells is now publicly known and guarded in the Beetle Bazaar. It's near a woman's burned-down shop. Don't say your favorite color.
* '''A Hag Still Remembers''': The Moss Hag swam through the mire of Minauros, fleeing as the party survived her trap, stole her soul coins, and even freed her Catoblepas. She may yet seek revenge or move on to safer prey.
* '''Tessavyr's Debt''': A rilmani, pinned to the earth by infernal spikes placed by a circle of succubi working for Zelza, thanked the party for its freedom, stating that they just need call its name toward the Spire should they ever need aid.

=== Curiosities ===
* '''The Unpowered Golem''': This still sits abandoned in the flooded depths of the Imaskari Tomb. The party also looted an Anti-Divinity Orb from the same location.
* '''The Unnamed Scholar''': The party looted the body of a female ghoul scholar with a bronze circlet, stuffing her into their Bag of Holding for later Speak-with-Dead questioning. They then proceeded to forget about it.
* '''The Bronze Rib''': A Bronze Rib in Minauros proves to be a foil to teleportation magic, although it did not look easy to move.
* '''Aunrae's Spellbook''': Aside from the Teleportation Circle spell, the dead drow's spellbook also had a loose sheet of sigils for all ten Undrek'Thoz drow-city states and the duergar city of Fraaszummdin.
* '''The Ring''': Galdren asked Diedric if Azhar, Diedric's adopted father and financier of his estate, still bore a ring with gemstones, and how many there were. Diedric confirmed there were two rubies with one inset blank. Galdren looked relieved.
* '''The Time-Skip Doppelganger''': Investigating a darkness at the heart of Thay, Galden and Navarra traced it to a doppelganger impersonating an Aglarond noble, and mid-interrogation they experienced a skip in time (candles instantly burned low) and the doppelganger was disintegrated to ash.
* '''The Interventionist Deva''': Zariel seemed like the crankiest out of the bunch at the Pavilion of Courage.

== The Story So Far ==

<p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 24px; font-weight: bold; color: #2a1f15; text-align: center; margin-bottom: 20px; border-bottom: 2px solid #2a1f15; padding-bottom: 10px;">Chapter 1: Memory</p>
A group of diverse adventurers, each on their own path, found themselves at '''Ironjaw's Mirth''' on the Thay-Rashemen border. Their chance meeting was interrupted by the '''Red Wizards of Thay''', led by Vezim Sepret, who '''captured everyone''' in retaliation for losses at the Grove of Stars.

Now mired in the conflict between Thay and Rashemen and en route to a slave camp, '''the party escaped''' with aid from '''Imzel Ulmokina''', a Wychlaran druid. A letter on Vezim revealed orders from '''Tharos Orakul, High Diviner of Surthay''', to slay '''"the owl"''' and capture '''"the amphibian"''' for study.

Imzel directed them to Lirensk to meet '''Galdren Murendar''', an ally against the Red Wizards. After a perilous journey across Lake Mulsantir, where they battled quippergulls and a Gelatinous Cube, they met Galdren, '''a rebel Red Wizard''' working to reform Thay. '''He tasked them with acquiring a Grand Sensory Stone from Sigil''', the City of Doors, casting their souls into the Astral Plane.

In the '''Astral Plane''', they helped a '''mathematician''' retrieve a variable stolen by a benign memory entity. Then, they escaped '''githyanki''' pursuers through a color pool to '''The Outlands''' -- after stealing their silver. Guided by a kind bariaur's words, they journeyed towards Sigil, encountering various planar entities (including water-sharing petitioners, imps, and a '''Rogue Modron''') and ultimately reached '''Ribcage''', the gate-town to the Nine Hells.

In Ribcage, they engaged in various intrigues: upgrading a Rogue Modron with infernal silver, binding an '''imp''' into servitude with the help of a '''slaad advocate''', aiding a falsely accused man, uncovering a '''cambion's''' scheme with a '''hag''', and participating in a Blood War skirmish. They finally found passage to '''Sigil''' beneath a bar stool.

In Sigil, they discovered '''Cedani's grandmother's''' ruined poetry shop and defeated the '''Summer Eladrin''' responsible. After recovering from near-death, they met with faction representatives and negotiated with '''Niara''', a Sensate Factotum, for a '''Grand Sensory Stone in exchange for locating Ember'''.

Their search brought them to The Velvet Harness inn, where a '''pegasus''' and '''deva''' led them to a vortex to the '''Elemental Plane of Air'''. There, they survived a harrowing fall with '''Ember''''s help, learning to navigate a realm where direction is a matter of perception. They landed in the courtyard of the '''Palace of the Winds''', a majestic djinn stronghold.

There, they agreed to help rescue a '''trapped djinn''' from the clutches of '''kobolds''', defeating the '''Avatar of Yan-C-Bin'''.

Victorious, they returned to Sigil, and acquired the '''Grand Sensory Stone''' at last. Joining factions and receiving pay from '''The Alley Reapers''', they returned to their bodies in '''The Rebel Estate'''.

Grateful, Galdren rewarded them with '''vast sums of jink''', a Weave-attuned sextant, and explained that he planned to use the stone to '''capture the memories of a deceased person''' who has information invaluable to their cause.

He bid the heroes rest, for now.

Returning from their astral journey with the '''Grand Sensory Stone''', the party awoke at '''The Rebel Estate''' to visions of '''Tharos Orakul''' warning '''Octavius''' away from Thay. '''Cedani''' departed for the Feywild, while '''Lilia Corydalis''', a starry witch seeking her missing coven sister, joined the group.

Sent to '''Urlingwood''' to cure '''Glenn's''' curse, the '''Wychlaran''' declared the barbs needed to be removed where they were cast. At the '''Monolith of Stars''', visions of fractured futures preceded a goblinoid assault. In the chaos, '''Octavius's''' latent '''planeswalker spark''' ignited, pulling them through the '''Blind Eternities''' to '''Mirrodin''' before willing them home.

Pursuing the stolen Monolith into the '''Underdark''', they uncovered drow treachery, slew the ogre assassin '''Vaergath''', and returned the relic to '''Urlingwood'''—shattering divination tools across the continent. In the '''High Country''', they freed and destroyed the demon '''Threxzadur''', then rescued '''Elowen Stonereach''' from the maw of '''Kissethkashaan''', the White Wyrm, escaping through another desperate planeswalk.

In '''Cormyr''', they infiltrated '''Phaulkon Manor''', battled '''illithid''' in '''Hullack Forest''', and finally broke '''Glenn's''' curse where '''Manshoon''' had cast it. '''Glenn''' emerged transformed, embracing both his nobility and his frog nature. '''Githyanki''' seekers arrived and were driven off; '''Kith'rak Gaath''' fled without his silver blade.

Flying east to the '''Endless Wastes''', they joined a paladin's quest for vengeance among warring '''Tuigan''' tribes. Beneath the '''Lake of Mists''', they destroyed an '''Imaskari''' altar of reanimation, collapsing its undead horde. The treacherous '''Qara Sarn's''' head became tribute to '''Hoar''', securing both tribes and the paladin order as allies.

'''Galdren''' revealed his purpose: capturing the memories of '''Navarra''', an ally slain by '''Tharos''' who knew of a weapon in the '''Fell Tower''' in a desert of '''purple sands'''. At her grave, his ritual bound her memories into the '''Grand Sensory Stone'''. He charged the heroes to carry it into the '''Outer Planes''', find her spirit, and deliver it—with '''Ember''' and her broken blue-tinted mask as their guides.

Bearing orb and mask into the '''Astral Plane''' and out through the '''Turquoise Color Pool''', they crossed a reshaped '''Outlands''' and the orchards of '''Sheela Peryroyl'''. Within sight of '''Ribcage''' they freed '''Tessavyr''', a rilmani pinned to the roadside by infernal spikes, who named a favor owed and bid them call toward the '''Spire'''.

In the city, '''Glenn's''' cheerful shout of "Green!" spoke the key to a hidden portal, dropping the party into '''Minauros''', where '''The Moss Hag''' loosed a dire troll in revenge for her ruined schemes. They shattered it, plundered her lair of thirty-three '''soul coins''', and burned her shop on their return.

'''Xarannos''' now ruled Ribcage, '''Zelza''' having been eaten by '''Bel'''. '''Unit 137's''' hellfire freed three innocent souls from the hag's coins. Passing to '''Sigil''' through the stool at '''The Bleeding Horn''', '''Diedric''' was pulled aside to stand before '''Selûne''' as the kobolds of '''The Howling Island''' reached home at last, and was named '''Favored'''. '''Ember''' sent them beneath the Cage to find the spirit-seeker '''Vistra Runehall'''.

Her trail led through '''Vos'Ultok''' to the deva '''Galenthias''', who carried them to '''Lunia''', where the pit lord '''Sulphaxus''' rose from the holy waters mortal and redeemed. At the '''Pavilion of Courage''' they learned Vistra hunts the spectre of a carpenter who betrayed a rebel to save a family he lost anyway. Through '''Khorvas's Pool''' they swam into '''Karasuthra''', the eternal midnight of the '''Beastlands''', a day and a half behind her.

== (Known) Active Plot Threads ==
''Last updated: 2026-07-30''

=== Main Quest: Seeking Navarra ===
* '''The Rebel Wizard''': Galdren Murendar, a rebel Red Wizard, seeks to undermine Thay to reform it. To this end, he has tasked the party with finding Navarra, a deceased ally. He seeks to reunite her spirit with her captured memories so he can find a way into the Fell Tower, in the Plains of Purple Dust, which is rumored to house a powerful weapon.
* '''The Spirit Seeker''': The party is currently tracking Vistra, a Spirit Seeker, in order to find Navarra's spirit. She is in Karasuthra in the Beastlands.
* '''Andren's Ledger''': Vistra is currently tracking the spirit of Andren, a man who betrayed his friend Tovaal in a failed attempt to save his family. She is on a contract from the Mercykillers.

=== Side Quests ===
* '''Hunting the Slavers''': Imzel Ulmokina, the druid that freed the party from captivity, was last heard to have been following the rest of the slave wagons, tracking them to their destination.
* '''Lake Mulsantir''': The lake south of Lirensk still suffers from Red Wizards having introduced aberrations in a past skirmish with the Rashemi.
* '''The Phaulkon-bane''': The clone of Manshoon who had assailed Glenn's keep is known to be heading for Chult, using the funds he made to hire the priests of Ubtao to transfer his soul to another body before this one fails him.
* '''Walking the Paths''': The party has learned of many paths (at least six) that can be tread to ascend the hierarchy of Mount Celestia. They need make a pledge to a representative of a Power to start their journey and may be asked to make a sacrifice. Upon walking the path, they will gain +2 to a chosen attribute.
* '''Namers and Berks''': Party members may seek to further their standing with their preferred Sigil faction, which may grant special abilities and privileges.
* '''The Monolith of Stars''': Still safe, it invites academic and divination study.
* '''The Elfmound''': Drenn, the drow wizard spared at Phaulkon Manor, spoke of a Permanency spell and other Netherese magics he found at The Elfmound.

=== Party Member Paths ===
* '''The Planeswalker''': Octavius's planeswalker spark ignited and his fastbond to lands he visits continues to increase his power, collecting fragments of planes to revisit them more easily. He seeks to write a dissertation on the extinct Batrachi race, and has a Weave-Attuned Sextant ready to deliver to a Slaad in Sigil who is interested in its study, as he feels it may draw a connection between the Batrachi race and all Slaad.
* '''A Curse Turned Boon''': Glenn embraced his frog form as his curse was cured, gaining the ability to "wield it as a shield" as his father taught him. He idly joked that he should "start collecting curses".
* '''Favored of Selune''': Blessed by the Moon Goddess for his leading of the lost, Diedric has been named Favored. This connection may continue to grow.
* '''Touched by a Telthor''': Having served as a host for the Telthor of Stars, Lilia can now conjure its constellation around her. As she continues to study stars from other planes, she may grow to understand the strange ones in the night sky above the Monolith, as they do not match that of Faerun's. She has secured access to the Grove of Stars for her coven-sisters, who may relocate once Elowen reaches them with the news.
* '''The Caltrop's Covenant''': Unit 137 continues to show more Hellish influence, including the ability to summon Happy, a tortured lemure, and sporting a pentagram inscribed on his form. In exchange for his infernal immortality, Unit 137 has incurred a debt to the hells and will need to serve them for 666 days at some point in the future.
* '''The Piked Contract''': Smokescale battles with the philosophy of being indentured to a bunch of piking level-headed bloods. Do his chains even matter anymore? His speaking circle truth was "I really want to corrupt the owl, drag him down to my level".

=== Prior Party Members ===
* '''The Star of the Climbing Warrior''': Uchu Buredo, in company of Cedani, continues to seek a way to his home world of Tsunadehoshi. His lead is that a "Vine-Warrior" was spotted in The Velvet Harness by the pegasus Kai. (God the DM did a lot of worldbuilding for this shit.) He also seeks revenge on Vex'riath, the githyanki creche leader of Zar'kash's Forge, who also escaped and survived as that spelljammer ship was destroyed by Uchu's psionic awakening.
* '''Smoke on the Water''': Cedani, having received an urgent message from Soveliss, sought to rescue him from peril. He had been on the way to Evermeet to seek Tharos's true name and had asked of Cedani for a delivery of a scale from a white abishai before being captured by unknown assailants. Diedric (during a session he missed) assisted them, rescuing him from a Troll's cookpot by trading a useless bauble. Cedani and Uchu then proceeded to the Feywild, where her patron had called for a meeting of the seasons in response to her poetry shop being burned down by the summer eladrin Aula. Octavius had subsequently seen visions of Cedani and Uchu in Minauros, being surrounded by hags and the corpses of dead eladrin of various seasons. Uchu's eyes turned red.
* '''The Pursued and Pursuer''': Chai evades cultists pursuing her for her Changeling heritage. She accompanies Cove to the Sea of Fallen Stars, where she seeks to find the prison island that she escaped as a child.

=== Pending ===
* '''The High Diviner''': Tharos Orakul, deprived of the Monolith, continues to suffer from a wasting disease. In desperation, he has met with the Githyanki.
* '''The Foreseen Assault''' Octavius foresaw an attack on the monolith by Kissethkashaan, likely in the month of Flamerule (two months after Mirtul). The vision showed one faerzress crystal already shattered, two wychlaran triplets freezing and shattering, and the Monolith cracking with a yellow light emanating from the crack, hinting at something within. This was shared with Galdren, who said he'd warn the Rashemi, so they should be forewarned.
* '''Hilt's Reward''': In thanks for the party's aid in getting Xarannos to represent him in his accusation against Zelza, he told them that Fredd, a proprietor of The Shaved Coin in The Below, keeps a chest of rubies that they both gathered by using a portal to a mineral-rich pocket of the Elemental Plane of Earth. This portal lies below the fighting pits and the key is blood, so it's usually open. Hilt is also a senator of Ribcage now.
* '''A Wedding on the Wind''': The party will be invited to Ember and Zekir al-Suhail's wedding. They'll hear his voice in the wind. A greater boon was promised. This will be in two years during his coronation.
* '''The Writer''': Atrus, an author of Ages, seeks to write a linking book to a location that can cure any ailment, including Glenn's. This may take him until the month of Kythorn. He had granted the party a linking book labeled "Myst", which they could use to visit him. The tram code is half of the clocktower's set time.
* '''The Bewildered Horse''': Barnaby, the awakened horse, was not at the Velvet Harness the last two visits. Barnaby will return.
* '''The Nyaning Leonin''': Rescued from certain doom on Mirrodin, Shadespine has run off to the Rashemi Berserker Lodge to join them.
* '''The Coven and the Monolith''' Lilia's coven will soon make way for the Grove of Stars to study it and the Monolith. They owe Lilia for this opportunity, and for rescuing Elowen.
* '''The Swordmaster's Road''' Cyrus, Glenn's swordmaster, will likely have been teleported to the War Wizards of Cormyr by Galdren's teleportation circle. He'll make way to Glenn's old keep to see it restored.

=== Visions ===
* ''(Averted)'' '''The Diviner's Prize''': Tharos Orakul's eyes staring at Octavius as he touches the Monolith inside of a grand tower. This diversion shattered divination implements across Faerun.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Convergence of Seasons''': Cedani and three other eladrin — Summer, Spring, and Autumn — navigating a bog as dark shapes surround them.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Blue Fire Falls''': Blue fire crisscrossing the sky, lines burning as Faerûn screams.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Moon in His Arm''': Diedric wielding Selûne in his left arm.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Elder Shadow''': A colossal brain hovering over a city on the Sword Coast, many tendrils hanging down.
* ''(Unlikely Future)'' '''The Psion's Crown''': Uchu, resolute, placing a silver helmet with silver cables attached — as neon explosions appear behind him.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Skycleaver''': A colossal axe parting the clouds.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Crown of Daggers''': Unit 137 wearing a crown of daggers as a legion of devils cheer.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Melting Wings''': Devil wings melting in water.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Frog and the Falcon''': A frog riding a falcon over foggy green hills.
* ''(Happened — planeswalker spark ignition)'' '''The Fire Within''': A flame burning Octavius from within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Obelisk Laid Low''': The obelisk lying on its side in the sunlight.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Parting of Stars''': Lilia throwing her arms to the side, stars following her command and splitting the sky in twain.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Gauntlet of Golden Nails''': Diedric struggling to breathe as a hand bearing a strange gauntlet -- five rings, joined by golden chains, terminating in a golden nail on each finger -- lifted him up.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Marching Dead''': Undead shuffling in great masses, Thaymount erupting in the background.
* ''(Happened)'' '''Ten Seconds From Now''': An ogre crashing through the trees, charging at Octavius as he turns from facing the Monolith… ten seconds from now.
* ''(Future)'' '''Winter Comes to the Grove''': The Grove of Stars. Kissethkashaan, enraged, breathes a cone of cold in a sweeping pass. One of the faerzress crystals is already shattered. Two wychlaran triplets shatter to ice. The Monolith of Stars begins to crack under the cold — and a yellow light emanates from a large crack, implying something within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Red Rage''': Uchu and Cedani stand back-to-back in a bog beneath a dark fey sky as three hags approach from all sides. Dead eladrin of various seasons are scattered around them, sinking. Uchu looks to Cedani, who nods grimly. His glowing blue eyes and blue daggers turn red and he begins howling in a berserker rage.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Lich-Queen's Audience''': Hovering in the Astral Plane: a bald Red Wizard, Tharos Orakul, bowing and coughing blood as a colossal undead githyanki woman sits on a throne, examining her hand, projecting boredom while failing to conceal a glint in her eye. She notices Octavius before the vision fades.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Chorus of Stones''': B'ian Ch'k Ch'k kneels shirtless inside of a low wagon as dozens of sending stones begin vibrating all at once, voices whispering and shouting in various languages. He turns as he hears screaming outside.

=== B'ian Fact Facts ===
* In 1368 DR, B'ian Ch'k Ch'k hid ''inside'' a Candlekeep bookshelf during the doppelganger purge in the wake of the Bhaalspawn.
* In 1370 DR, B'ian Ch'k Ch'k was gifted a traveling wagon by the halfling nation of Luiren for his assistance in averting a flooding crisis. It was engineered by a halfling knight of Gond.

=== Consequences ===
* '''The Mirth of the Ironjaws''': With Hulmarra Ironjaw's death, and the burning of Ironjaw's Mirth, her surviving 11 sisters are likely to have heard of the events by now.
* '''The Charmed Guard:''' Thenn, the Thayan guard charmed during the escape from the Red Wizard wagons, was taken as prisoner by Imzel. He now lives as a servant to a woman in the Grove of Stars that is foreseen to be his wife. It's an awkward relationship.
* '''The Grand Concordance''': Aristeus, a mathematician culturally spending his last days in the Astral Plane, was aided by the party who recovered a variable for him from a memory entity. His allowed him to complete a masterwork that describes the Four Compulsions and the Veil. It seems of important scientific and philosophical importance.
* '''The Silver Skiff''': Vlaakith grows irked by the unanswered theft, three fireballed githyanki, a lost apprentice, the loss of Gaath's ambush team, with one of the apprentices banished and being specifically told to "Tell Vlaakith to leave us alone!". Octavius's vision of an ill Tharos Orakul groveling before her may be of greater import however.
* '''The Lost Githyanki''': Viran, apprentice of Kith'rak Gaath, was led astray by the Alley Reapers in his pursuit of the party and is likely imprisoned in the plane of Carceri.
* '''The Doomed Noble:''' The sickly noble on a balcony in Ribcage is probably super, super dead by now. He's been replaced by a younger noble, flanked by the same red and green cambion ladies.
* '''A Hag Remembers''': The Moss Hag's scheme to secure souls with Luciel foiled, she set a trap whilst Luciel fled the city.
* '''The Alley Reapers:''' They believe Cedani is an agent for a person named Boppel, the "high-up man". They were paying her a cut of their take in the Hive Ward. While she's no longer with the party, they will consider them associates.
* '''Yan-C-in-the-Bin''': Yan-C-Bin will not soon forget the defeat of his avatar at the hands of interlopers from the Prime Material Plane.
* '''The Djinn Prince''': Rescued from a sacrifial rite, the Prince gifted the party a Carpet of Flying and promised great gifts on his wedding day.
* '''The Kobold Pilgrimage''': Spared by Diedric, kobolds worshipping Yan-C-Bin fled back to their tempestuous homeworld, now guided by a familiar moon goddess.
* '''The Telthor of Stars''': Diviners clashed and Tharos was robbed of his fate of securing the Monolith of Stars via a route in the Underdark. The Telthor still lives within, watching over the Rashemi as their tribes unite to select a new Iron Lord. Grimsnarl, an awakened wolf, invited the party's voices in selecting the next Iron Lord as the lodges gather. His own pick: "a simpleton, but his dajemma is legendary -- he travels still with the child of Bhaal on the Sword Coast."
* '''The Drow Wizardress''': Murdered by Octavius, Aunrae Drezz'Lynur was freelancing while under the guise of serving Matron Zorratha. In reality, she was playing Tharos and the duergar against each other. Matron Zorratha wonders what came of the Monolith.
* '''The Unpaid Duergar''': Expecting a payment for pick-up and delivery of the Monolith of Stars, the duergar just found an empty battleground and their gold missing.
* '''The Breaking of Threxzadur''': Octavius willingly drank of a trapped tanar'ri's power, freeing it and then defeating it. It will be reborn in the Abyss.
* '''Eight-legged Freedom''': Freed from their bonds, the goblin's infant ice spiders traveled north, to the icy mountain from which their eggs were stolen.
* '''Vix's Crown''': Sneaking through a sprawling goblin country, the party helped Vix the white kobold steal a Tuigan Helm of Command from the goblin leader.
* '''The Surviving Crossbowman''': Erik the eye-patched crossbowman was rescued from freezing to death by the party. He has foresworn adventuring and claims to be retiring.
* '''The Blood Sorceress''': Qualm and the rest of the dragon slaying party perished in Kissethkashaan's lair. The party happily looted them.
* '''The Rescued Coven-sister''': Elowen Stonereach, an offering of blood to the white dragon by the Nanraak Goblins, was rescued and whisked away. She makes way to the Dalelands to meet with her coven, who will likely travel to The Monolith of Stars to study it.
* '''The White Wyrm's Due''': Angered by the previous dragonslaying party's attempt on his life and another party escaping with his tribute, Kissethkashaan plots his revenge, remembering that one of the members of the first group was of Rashemi descent.
* '''The Piked Halfling''': Finn Fatfoot was charmed into giving up his dreamsilk and giving up Zhentarim secrets. He is on the run from authorities.
* '''The Cleansing of Hullack Forest''': A mindflayer cell, which had fled something in the Underdark, was eliminated by the party. Glenn (with the help of Shrieker) also drove the Zhentarim from his family's keep and had his curse removed. Drenn, the drow wizard in charge of this Zhentarim compound, gave the party information as to Manshoon's plans in Chuult in exchange for his life.
* '''Shrieker''': Glenn's father's Ranger General of his armies continues to patrol the region around Thunderstone, bringing justice to those that the Purple Dragon Knights cannot. Her shrieks in the night bring comfort to children and woe to brigrands. A Tuigan woman mentioned seeing her on the battlefield when Cormyr fought in an alliance against the Tuigan horde, referring to her as Glenn's father's "paramour" who saved him from an ambush. She can be summoned by lighting two pyres on the northern towers near the bridge to Hullack Forest.
* '''The Silver Blade''': Kith'rak Gaath had his entire githyanki strike force ambushed the party but were defeated. Gaath retreated, but had to leave his sword behind.
* '''Blessed Grains''': Lilia blessed the fields of the Tuigan people in an extended ritual, ensuring a bountiful harvest.
* '''The Imaskari Altar''': The party fought through sahuagin priests and destroyed an ancient Imaskari Altar that could animate undead thanks to a link to the Plane of Negative Energy.
* '''Peace on the Endless Wastes''': Peace was brokered between the Fankiang Traditionalists and Hubadai Loyalists, with the Fankiang receiving a seven year deal where they would patrol and tax the Golden Way. The Fankiang agreed to assist with Thay, and the Hubadai representative said he would bring it before their leader in Kourmira.
* '''The Justice of Hoar''': The head of Qara Sarn, a Fankiang member who attempted to leave Khan Borcha to her death, was served to Hoar as recompense for the slaying of one of his paladins. He accepted with three thunderstrikes, and Lureene Amblecrown assured that they had secured the Hoar Order's aid against Thay.
* '''Ribcage, Under New Management''': Uncovering Zelza's scheme to plunge Ribcage into the Nine Hells, Xarannos was installed as interim Duke of Ribcage. Zelza was consumed by Bel.
* '''The Third Hell's Door''': A portal to the third layer of the Nine Hells is now publicly known and guarded in the Beetle Bazaar. It's near a woman's burned-down shop. Don't say your favorite color.
* '''A Hag Still Remembers''': The Moss Hag swam through the mire of Minauros, fleeing as the party survived her trap, stole her soul coins, and even freed her Catoblepas. She may yet seek revenge or move on to safer prey.
* '''Tessavyr's Debt''': A rilmani, pinned to the earth by infernal spikes placed by a circle of succubi working for Zelza, thanked the party for its freedom, stating that they just need call its name toward the Spire should they ever need aid.

=== Curiosities ===
* '''The Unpowered Golem''': This still sits abandoned in the flooded depths of the Imaskari Tomb. The party also looted an Anti-Divinity Orb from the same location.
* '''The Unnamed Scholar''': The party looted the body of a female ghoul scholar with a bronze circlet, stuffing her into their Bag of Holding for later Speak-with-Dead questioning. They then proceeded to forget about it.
* '''The Bronze Rib''': A Bronze Rib in Minauros proves to be a foil to teleportation magic, although it did not look easy to move.
* '''Aunrae's Spellbook''': Aside from the Teleportation Circle spell, the dead drow's spellbook also had a loose sheet of sigils for all ten Undrek'Thoz drow-city states and the duergar city of Fraaszummdin.
* '''The Ring''': Galdren asked Diedric if Azhar, Diedric's adopted father and financier of his estate, still bore a ring with gemstones, and how many there were. Diedric confirmed there were two rubies with one inset blank. Galdren looked relieved.
* '''The Time-Skip Doppelganger''': Investigating a darkness at the heart of Thay, Galden and Navarra traced it to a doppelganger impersonating an Aglarond noble, and mid-interrogation they experienced a skip in time (candles instantly burned low) and the doppelganger was disintegrated to ash.

<p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 24px; font-weight: bold; color: #2a1f15; text-align: center; margin-bottom: 20px; border-bottom: 2px solid #2a1f15; padding-bottom: 10px;">Chapter 1: Memory</p>
A group of diverse adventurers, each on their own path, found themselves at '''Ironjaw's Mirth''' on the Thay-Rashemen border. Their chance meeting was interrupted by the '''Red Wizards of Thay''', led by Vezim Sepret, who '''captured everyone''' in retaliation for losses at the Grove of Stars.

Now mired in the conflict between Thay and Rashemen and en route to a slave camp, '''the party escaped''' with aid from '''Imzel Ulmokina''', a Wychlaran druid. A letter on Vezim revealed orders from '''Tharos Orakul, High Diviner of Surthay''', to slay '''"the owl"''' and capture '''"the amphibian"''' for study.

Imzel directed them to Lirensk to meet '''Galdren Murendar''', an ally against the Red Wizards. After a perilous journey across Lake Mulsantir, where they battled quippergulls and a Gelatinous Cube, they met Galdren, '''a rebel Red Wizard''' working to reform Thay. '''He tasked them with acquiring a Grand Sensory Stone from Sigil''', the City of Doors, casting their souls into the Astral Plane.

In the '''Astral Plane''', they helped a '''mathematician''' retrieve a variable stolen by a benign memory entity. Then, they escaped '''githyanki''' pursuers through a color pool to '''The Outlands''' -- after stealing their silver. Guided by a kind bariaur's words, they journeyed towards Sigil, encountering various planar entities (including water-sharing petitioners, imps, and a '''Rogue Modron''') and ultimately reached '''Ribcage''', the gate-town to the Nine Hells.

In Ribcage, they engaged in various intrigues: upgrading a Rogue Modron with infernal silver, binding an '''imp''' into servitude with the help of a '''slaad advocate''', aiding a falsely accused man, uncovering a '''cambion's''' scheme with a '''hag''', and participating in a Blood War skirmish. They finally found passage to '''Sigil''' beneath a bar stool.

In Sigil, they discovered '''Cedani's grandmother's''' ruined poetry shop and defeated the '''Summer Eladrin''' responsible. After recovering from near-death, they met with faction representatives and negotiated with '''Niara''', a Sensate Factotum, for a '''Grand Sensory Stone in exchange for locating Ember'''.

Their search brought them to The Velvet Harness inn, where a '''pegasus''' and '''deva''' led them to a vortex to the '''Elemental Plane of Air'''. There, they survived a harrowing fall with '''Ember''''s help, learning to navigate a realm where direction is a matter of perception. They landed in the courtyard of the '''Palace of the Winds''', a majestic djinn stronghold.

There, they agreed to help rescue a '''trapped djinn''' from the clutches of '''kobolds''', defeating the '''Avatar of Yan-C-Bin'''.

Victorious, they returned to Sigil, and acquired the '''Grand Sensory Stone''' at last. Joining factions and receiving pay from '''The Alley Reapers''', they returned to their bodies in '''The Rebel Estate'''.

Grateful, Galdren rewarded them with '''vast sums of jink''', a Weave-attuned sextant, and explained that he planned to use the stone to '''capture the memories of a deceased person''' who has information invaluable to their cause.

He bid the heroes rest, for now.

Returning from their astral journey with the '''Grand Sensory Stone''', the party awoke at '''The Rebel Estate''' to visions of '''Tharos Orakul''' warning '''Octavius''' away from Thay. '''Cedani''' departed for the Feywild, while '''Lilia Corydalis''', a starry witch seeking her missing coven sister, joined the group.

Sent to '''Urlingwood''' to cure '''Glenn's''' curse, the '''Wychlaran''' declared the barbs needed to be removed where they were cast. At the '''Monolith of Stars''', visions of fractured futures preceded a goblinoid assault. In the chaos, '''Octavius's''' latent '''planeswalker spark''' ignited, pulling them through the '''Blind Eternities''' to '''Mirrodin''' before willing them home.

Pursuing the stolen Monolith into the '''Underdark''', they uncovered drow treachery, slew the ogre assassin '''Vaergath''', and returned the relic to '''Urlingwood'''—shattering divination tools across the continent. In the '''High Country''', they freed and destroyed the demon '''Threxzadur''', then rescued '''Elowen Stonereach''' from the maw of '''Kissethkashaan''', the White Wyrm, escaping through another desperate planeswalk.

In '''Cormyr''', they infiltrated '''Phaulkon Manor''', battled '''illithid''' in '''Hullack Forest''', and finally broke '''Glenn's''' curse where '''Manshoon''' had cast it. '''Glenn''' emerged transformed, embracing both his nobility and his frog nature. '''Githyanki''' seekers arrived and were driven off; '''Kith'rak Gaath''' fled without his silver blade.

Flying east to the '''Endless Wastes''', they joined a paladin's quest for vengeance among warring '''Tuigan''' tribes. Beneath the '''Lake of Mists''', they destroyed an '''Imaskari''' altar of reanimation, collapsing its undead horde. The treacherous '''Qara Sarn's''' head became tribute to '''Hoar''', securing both tribes and the paladin order as allies.

'''Galdren''' revealed his purpose: capturing the memories of '''Navarra''', an ally slain by '''Tharos''' who knew of a weapon in the '''Fell Tower''' in a desert of '''purple sands'''. At her grave, his ritual bound her memories into the '''Grand Sensory Stone'''. He charged the heroes to carry it into the '''Outer Planes''', find her spirit, and deliver it—with '''Ember''' and her broken blue-tinted mask as their guides.

Bearing orb and mask into the '''Astral Plane''' and out through the '''Turquoise Color Pool''', they crossed a reshaped '''Outlands''' and the orchards of '''Sheela Peryroyl'''. Within sight of '''Ribcage''' they freed '''Tessavyr''', a rilmani pinned to the roadside by infernal spikes, who named a favor owed and bid them call toward the '''Spire'''.

In the city, '''Glenn's''' cheerful shout of "Green!" spoke the key to a hidden portal, dropping the party into '''Minauros''', where '''The Moss Hag''' loosed a dire troll in revenge for her ruined schemes. They shattered it, plundered her lair of thirty-three '''soul coins''', and burned her shop on their return.

'''Xarannos''' now ruled Ribcage, '''Zelza''' having been eaten by '''Bel'''. '''Unit 137's''' hellfire freed three innocent souls from the hag's coins. Passing to '''Sigil''' through the stool at '''The Bleeding Horn''', '''Diedric''' was pulled aside to stand before '''Selûne''' as the kobolds of '''The Howling Island''' reached home at last, and was named '''Favored'''. '''Ember''' sent them beneath the Cage to find the spirit-seeker '''Vistra Runehall'''.

Her trail led through '''Vos'Ultok''' to the deva '''Galenthias''', who carried them to '''Lunia''', where the pit lord '''Sulphaxus''' rose from the holy waters mortal and redeemed. At the '''Pavilion of Courage''' they learned Vistra hunts the spectre of a carpenter who betrayed a rebel to save a family he lost anyway. Through '''Khorvas's Pool''' they swam into '''Karasuthra''', the eternal midnight of the '''Beastlands''', a day and a half behind her.

== (Known) Active Plot Threads ==
''Last updated: 2026-07-30''

=== Main Quest: Seeking Navarra ===
* '''The Rebel Wizard''': Galdren Murendar, a rebel Red Wizard, seeks to undermine Thay to reform it. To this end, he has tasked the party with finding Navarra, a deceased ally. He seeks to reunite her spirit with her captured memories so he can find a way into the Fell Tower, in the Plains of Purple Dust, which is rumored to house a powerful weapon.
* '''The Spirit Seeker''': The party is currently tracking Vistra, a Spirit Seeker, in order to find Navarra's spirit. She is in Karasuthra in the Beastlands.
* '''Andren's Ledger''': Vistra is currently tracking the spirit of Andren, a man who betrayed his friend Tovaal in a failed attempt to save his family. She is on a contract from the Mercykillers.

=== Side Quests ===
* '''Hunting the Slavers''': Imzel Ulmokina, the druid that freed the party from captivity, was last heard to have been following the rest of the slave wagons, tracking them to their destination.
* '''Lake Mulsantir''': The lake south of Lirensk still suffers from Red Wizards having introduced aberrations in a past skirmish with the Rashemi.
* '''The Phaulkon-bane''': The clone of Manshoon who had assailed Glenn's keep is known to be heading for Chult, using the funds he made to hire the priests of Ubtao to transfer his soul to another body before this one fails him.
* '''Walking the Paths''': The party has learned of many paths (at least six) that can be tread to ascend the hierarchy of Mount Celestia. They need make a pledge to a representative of a Power to start their journey and may be asked to make a sacrifice. Upon walking the path, they will gain +2 to a chosen attribute.
* '''Namers and Berks''': Party members may seek to further their standing with their preferred Sigil faction, which may grant special abilities and privileges.
* '''The Monolith of Stars''': Still safe, it invites academic and divination study.
* '''The Elfmound''': Drenn, the drow wizard spared at Phaulkon Manor, spoke of a Permanency spell and other Netherese magics he found at The Elfmound.

=== Party Member Paths ===
* '''The Planeswalker''': Octavius's planeswalker spark ignited and his fastbond to lands he visits continues to increase his power, collecting fragments of planes to revisit them more easily. He seeks to write a dissertation on the extinct Batrachi race, and has a Weave-Attuned Sextant ready to deliver to a Slaad in Sigil who is interested in its study, as he feels it may draw a connection between the Batrachi race and all Slaad.
* '''A Curse Turned Boon''': Glenn embraced his frog form as his curse was cured, gaining the ability to "wield it as a shield" as his father taught him. He idly joked that he should "start collecting curses".
* '''Favored of Selune''': Blessed by the Moon Goddess for his leading of the lost, Diedric has been named Favored. This connection may continue to grow.
* '''Touched by a Telthor''': Having served as a host for the Telthor of Stars, Lilia can now conjure its constellation around her. As she continues to study stars from other planes, she may grow to understand the strange ones in the night sky above the Monolith, as they do not match that of Faerun's. She has secured access to the Grove of Stars for her coven-sisters, who may relocate once Elowen reaches them with the news.
* '''The Caltrop's Covenant''': Unit 137 continues to show more Hellish influence, including the ability to summon Happy, a tortured lemure, and sporting a pentagram inscribed on his form. In exchange for his infernal immortality, Unit 137 has incurred a debt to the hells and will need to serve them for 666 days at some point in the future.
* '''The Piked Contract''': Smokescale battles with the philosophy of being indentured to a bunch of piking level-headed bloods. Do his chains even matter anymore? His speaking circle truth was "I really want to corrupt the owl, drag him down to my level".

=== Prior Party Members ===
* '''The Star of the Climbing Warrior''': Uchu Buredo, in company of Cedani, continues to seek a way to his home world of Tsunadehoshi. His lead is that a "Vine-Warrior" was spotted in The Velvet Harness by the pegasus Kai. (God the DM did a lot of worldbuilding for this shit.) He also seeks revenge on Vex'riath, the githyanki creche leader of Zar'kash's Forge, who also escaped and survived as that spelljammer ship was destroyed by Uchu's psionic awakening.
* '''Smoke on the Water''': Cedani, having received an urgent message from Soveliss, sought to rescue him from peril. He had been on the way to Evermeet to seek Tharos's true name and had asked of Cedani for a delivery of a scale from a white abishai before being captured by unknown assailants. Diedric (during a session he missed) assisted them, rescuing him from a Troll's cookpot by trading a useless bauble. Cedani and Uchu then proceeded to the Feywild, where her patron had called for a meeting of the seasons in response to her poetry shop being burned down by the summer eladrin Aula. Octavius had subsequently seen visions of Cedani and Uchu in Minauros, being surrounded by hags and the corpses of dead eladrin of various seasons. Uchu's eyes turned red.
* '''The Pursued and Pursuer''': Chai evades cultists pursuing her for her Changeling heritage. She accompanies Cove to the Sea of Fallen Stars, where she seeks to find the prison island that she escaped as a child.

=== Pending ===
* '''The High Diviner''': Tharos Orakul, deprived of the Monolith, continues to suffer from a wasting disease. In desperation, he has met with the Githyanki.
* '''The Foreseen Assault''' Octavius foresaw an attack on the monolith by Kissethkashaan, likely in the month of Flamerule (two months after Mirtul). The vision showed one faerzress crystal already shattered, two wychlaran triplets freezing and shattering, and the Monolith cracking with a yellow light emanating from the crack, hinting at something within. This was shared with Galdren, who said he'd warn the Rashemi, so they should be forewarned.
* '''Hilt's Reward''': In thanks for the party's aid in getting Xarannos to represent him in his accusation against Zelza, he told them that Fredd, a proprietor of The Shaved Coin in The Below, keeps a chest of rubies that they both gathered by using a portal to a mineral-rich pocket of the Elemental Plane of Earth. This portal lies below the fighting pits and the key is blood, so it's usually open. Hilt is also a senator of Ribcage now.
* '''A Wedding on the Wind''': The party will be invited to Ember and Zekir al-Suhail's wedding. They'll hear his voice in the wind. A greater boon was promised. This will be in two years during his coronation.
* '''The Writer''': Atrus, an author of Ages, seeks to write a linking book to a location that can cure any ailment, including Glenn's. This may take him until the month of Kythorn. He had granted the party a linking book labeled "Myst", which they could use to visit him. The tram code is half of the clocktower's set time.
* '''The Bewildered Horse''': Barnaby, the awakened horse, was not at the Velvet Harness the last two visits. Barnaby will return.
* '''The Nyaning Leonin''': Rescued from certain doom on Mirrodin, Shadespine has run off to the Rashemi Berserker Lodge to join them.
* '''The Coven and the Monolith''' Lilia's coven will soon make way for the Grove of Stars to study it and the Monolith. They owe Lilia for this opportunity, and for rescuing Elowen.
* '''The Swordmaster's Road''' Cyrus, Glenn's swordmaster, will likely have been teleported to the War Wizards of Cormyr by Galdren's teleportation circle. He'll make way to Glenn's old keep to see it restored.

=== Visions ===
* ''(Averted)'' '''The Diviner's Prize''': Tharos Orakul's eyes staring at Octavius as he touches the Monolith inside of a grand tower. This diversion shattered divination implements across Faerun.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Convergence of Seasons''': Cedani and three other eladrin — Summer, Spring, and Autumn — navigating a bog as dark shapes surround them.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Blue Fire Falls''': Blue fire crisscrossing the sky, lines burning as Faerûn screams.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Moon in His Arm''': Diedric wielding Selûne in his left arm.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Elder Shadow''': A colossal brain hovering over a city on the Sword Coast, many tendrils hanging down.
* ''(Unlikely Future)'' '''The Psion's Crown''': Uchu, resolute, placing a silver helmet with silver cables attached — as neon explosions appear behind him.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Skycleaver''': A colossal axe parting the clouds.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Crown of Daggers''': Unit 137 wearing a crown of daggers as a legion of devils cheer.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Melting Wings''': Devil wings melting in water.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Frog and the Falcon''': A frog riding a falcon over foggy green hills.
* ''(Happened — planeswalker spark ignition)'' '''The Fire Within''': A flame burning Octavius from within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Obelisk Laid Low''': The obelisk lying on its side in the sunlight.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Parting of Stars''': Lilia throwing her arms to the side, stars following her command and splitting the sky in twain.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Gauntlet of Golden Nails''': Diedric struggling to breathe as a hand bearing a strange gauntlet -- five rings, joined by golden chains, terminating in a golden nail on each finger -- lifted him up.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Marching Dead''': Undead shuffling in great masses, Thaymount erupting in the background.
* ''(Happened)'' '''Ten Seconds From Now''': An ogre crashing through the trees, charging at Octavius as he turns from facing the Monolith… ten seconds from now.
* ''(Future)'' '''Winter Comes to the Grove''': The Grove of Stars. Kissethkashaan, enraged, breathes a cone of cold in a sweeping pass. One of the faerzress crystals is already shattered. Two wychlaran triplets shatter to ice. The Monolith of Stars begins to crack under the cold — and a yellow light emanates from a large crack, implying something within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Red Rage''': Uchu and Cedani stand back-to-back in a bog beneath a dark fey sky as three hags approach from all sides. Dead eladrin of various seasons are scattered around them, sinking. Uchu looks to Cedani, who nods grimly. His glowing blue eyes and blue daggers turn red and he begins howling in a berserker rage.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Lich-Queen's Audience''': Hovering in the Astral Plane: a bald Red Wizard, Tharos Orakul, bowing and coughing blood as a colossal undead githyanki woman sits on a throne, examining her hand, projecting boredom while failing to conceal a glint in her eye. She notices Octavius before the vision fades.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Chorus of Stones''': B'ian Ch'k Ch'k kneels shirtless inside of a low wagon as dozens of sending stones begin vibrating all at once, voices whispering and shouting in various languages. He turns as he hears screaming outside.

=== B'ian Fact Facts ===
* In 1368 DR, B'ian Ch'k Ch'k hid ''inside'' a Candlekeep bookshelf during the doppelganger purge in the wake of the Bhaalspawn.
* In 1370 DR, B'ian Ch'k Ch'k was gifted a traveling wagon by the halfling nation of Luiren for his assistance in averting a flooding crisis. It was engineered by a halfling knight of Gond.

=== Consequences ===
* '''The Mirth of the Ironjaws''': With Hulmarra Ironjaw's death, and the burning of Ironjaw's Mirth, her surviving 11 sisters are likely to have heard of the events by now.
* '''The Charmed Guard:''' Thenn, the Thayan guard charmed during the escape from the Red Wizard wagons, was taken as prisoner by Imzel. He now lives as a servant to a woman in the Grove of Stars that is foreseen to be his wife. It's an awkward relationship.
* '''The Grand Concordance''': Aristeus, a mathematician culturally spending his last days in the Astral Plane, was aided by the party who recovered a variable for him from a memory entity. His allowed him to complete a masterwork that describes the Four Compulsions and the Veil. It seems of important scientific and philosophical importance.
* '''The Silver Skiff''': Vlaakith grows irked by the unanswered theft, three fireballed githyanki, a lost apprentice, the loss of Gaath's ambush team, with one of the apprentices banished and being specifically told to "Tell Vlaakith to leave us alone!". Octavius's vision of an ill Tharos Orakul groveling before her may be of greater import however.
* '''The Lost Githyanki''': Viran, apprentice of Kith'rak Gaath, was led astray by the Alley Reapers in his pursuit of the party and is likely imprisoned in the plane of Carceri.
* '''The Doomed Noble:''' The sickly noble on a balcony in Ribcage is probably super, super dead by now. He's been replaced by a younger noble, flanked by the same red and green cambion ladies.
* '''A Hag Remembers''': The Moss Hag's scheme to secure souls with Luciel foiled, she set a trap whilst Luciel fled the city.
* '''The Alley Reapers:''' They believe Cedani is an agent for a person named Boppel, the "high-up man". They were paying her a cut of their take in the Hive Ward. While she's no longer with the party, they will consider them associates.
* '''Yan-C-in-the-Bin''': Yan-C-Bin will not soon forget the defeat of his avatar at the hands of interlopers from the Prime Material Plane.
* '''The Djinn Prince''': Rescued from a sacrifial rite, the Prince gifted the party a Carpet of Flying and promised great gifts on his wedding day.
* '''The Kobold Pilgrimage''': Spared by Diedric, kobolds worshipping Yan-C-Bin fled back to their tempestuous homeworld, now guided by a familiar moon goddess.
* '''The Telthor of Stars''': Diviners clashed and Tharos was robbed of his fate of securing the Monolith of Stars via a route in the Underdark. The Telthor still lives within, watching over the Rashemi as their tribes unite to select a new Iron Lord. Grimsnarl, an awakened wolf, invited the party's voices in selecting the next Iron Lord as the lodges gather. His own pick: "a simpleton, but his dajemma is legendary -- he travels still with the child of Bhaal on the Sword Coast."
* '''The Drow Wizardress''': Murdered by Octavius, Aunrae Drezz'Lynur was freelancing while under the guise of serving Matron Zorratha. In reality, she was playing Tharos and the duergar against each other. Matron Zorratha wonders what came of the Monolith.
* '''The Unpaid Duergar''': Expecting a payment for pick-up and delivery of the Monolith of Stars, the duergar just found an empty battleground and their gold missing.
* '''The Breaking of Threxzadur''': Octavius willingly drank of a trapped tanar'ri's power, freeing it and then defeating it. It will be reborn in the Abyss.
* '''Eight-legged Freedom''': Freed from their bonds, the goblin's infant ice spiders traveled north, to the icy mountain from which their eggs were stolen.
* '''Vix's Crown''': Sneaking through a sprawling goblin country, the party helped Vix the white kobold steal a Tuigan Helm of Command from the goblin leader.
* '''The Surviving Crossbowman''': Erik the eye-patched crossbowman was rescued from freezing to death by the party. He has foresworn adventuring and claims to be retiring.
* '''The Blood Sorceress''': Qualm and the rest of the dragon slaying party perished in Kissethkashaan's lair. The party happily looted them.
* '''The Rescued Coven-sister''': Elowen Stonereach, an offering of blood to the white dragon by the Nanraak Goblins, was rescued and whisked away. She makes way to the Dalelands to meet with her coven, who will likely travel to The Monolith of Stars to study it.
* '''The White Wyrm's Due''': Angered by the previous dragonslaying party's attempt on his life and another party escaping with his tribute, Kissethkashaan plots his revenge, remembering that one of the members of the first group was of Rashemi descent.
* '''The Piked Halfling''': Finn Fatfoot was charmed into giving up his dreamsilk and giving up Zhentarim secrets. He is on the run from authorities.
* '''The Cleansing of Hullack Forest''': A mindflayer cell, which had fled something in the Underdark, was eliminated by the party. Glenn (with the help of Shrieker) also drove the Zhentarim from his family's keep and had his curse removed. Drenn, the drow wizard in charge of this Zhentarim compound, gave the party information as to Manshoon's plans in Chuult in exchange for his life.
* '''Shrieker''': Glenn's father's Ranger General of his armies continues to patrol the region around Thunderstone, bringing justice to those that the Purple Dragon Knights cannot. Her shrieks in the night bring comfort to children and woe to brigrands. A Tuigan woman mentioned seeing her on the battlefield when Cormyr fought in an alliance against the Tuigan horde, referring to her as Glenn's father's "paramour" who saved him from an ambush. She can be summoned by lighting two pyres on the northern towers near the bridge to Hullack Forest.
* '''The Silver Blade''': Kith'rak Gaath had his entire githyanki strike force ambushed the party but were defeated. Gaath retreated, but had to leave his sword behind.
* '''Blessed Grains''': Lilia blessed the fields of the Tuigan people in an extended ritual, ensuring a bountiful harvest.
* '''The Imaskari Altar''': The party fought through sahuagin priests and destroyed an ancient Imaskari Altar that could animate undead thanks to a link to the Plane of Negative Energy.
* '''Peace on the Endless Wastes''': Peace was brokered between the Fankiang Traditionalists and Hubadai Loyalists, with the Fankiang receiving a seven year deal where they would patrol and tax the Golden Way. The Fankiang agreed to assist with Thay, and the Hubadai representative said he would bring it before their leader in Kourmira.
* '''The Justice of Hoar''': The head of Qara Sarn, a Fankiang member who attempted to leave Khan Borcha to her death, was served to Hoar as recompense for the slaying of one of his paladins. He accepted with three thunderstrikes, and Lureene Amblecrown assured that they had secured the Hoar Order's aid against Thay.
* '''Ribcage, Under New Management''': Uncovering Zelza's scheme to plunge Ribcage into the Nine Hells, Xarannos was installed as interim Duke of Ribcage. Zelza was consumed by Bel.
* '''The Third Hell's Door''': A portal to the third layer of the Nine Hells is now publicly known and guarded in the Beetle Bazaar. It's near a woman's burned-down shop. Don't say your favorite color.
* '''A Hag Still Remembers''': The Moss Hag swam through the mire of Minauros, fleeing as the party survived her trap, stole her soul coins, and even freed her Catoblepas. She may yet seek revenge or move on to safer prey.
* '''Tessavyr's Debt''': A rilmani, pinned to the earth by infernal spikes placed by a circle of succubi working for Zelza, thanked the party for its freedom, stating that they just need call its name toward the Spire should they ever need aid.

=== Curiosities ===
* '''The Unpowered Golem''': This still sits abandoned in the flooded depths of the Imaskari Tomb. The party also looted an Anti-Divinity Orb from the same location.
* '''The Unnamed Scholar''': The party looted the body of a female ghoul scholar with a bronze circlet, stuffing her into their Bag of Holding for later Speak-with-Dead questioning. They then proceeded to forget about it.
* '''The Bronze Rib''': A Bronze Rib in Minauros proves to be a foil to teleportation magic, although it did not look easy to move.
* '''Aunrae's Spellbook''': Aside from the Teleportation Circle spell, the dead drow's spellbook also had a loose sheet of sigils for all ten Undrek'Thoz drow-city states and the duergar city of Fraaszummdin.
* '''The Ring''': Galdren asked Diedric if Azhar, Diedric's adopted father and financier of his estate, still bore a ring with gemstones, and how many there were. Diedric confirmed there were two rubies with one inset blank. Galdren looked relieved.
* '''The Time-Skip Doppelganger''': Investigating a darkness at the heart of Thay, Galden and Navarra traced it to a doppelganger impersonating an Aglarond noble, and mid-interrogation they experienced a skip in time (candles instantly burned low) and the doppelganger was disintegrated to ash.
* '''The Interventionist Deva''': Zariel seemed like the crankiest out of the bunch at the Pavilion of Courage.

A group of diverse adventurers, each on their own path, found themselves at '''Ironjaw's Mirth''' on the Thay-Rashemen border. Their chance meeting was interrupted by the '''Red Wizards of Thay''', led by Vezim Sepret, who '''captured everyone''' in retaliation for losses at the Grove of Stars.

Now mired in the conflict between Thay and Rashemen and en route to a slave camp, '''the party escaped''' with aid from '''Imzel Ulmokina''', a Wychlaran druid. A letter on Vezim revealed orders from '''Tharos Orakul, High Diviner of Surthay''', to slay '''"the owl"''' and capture '''"the amphibian"''' for study.

Imzel directed them to Lirensk to meet '''Galdren Murendar''', an ally against the Red Wizards. After a perilous journey across Lake Mulsantir, where they battled quippergulls and a Gelatinous Cube, they met Galdren, '''a rebel Red Wizard''' working to reform Thay. '''He tasked them with acquiring a Grand Sensory Stone from Sigil''', the City of Doors, casting their souls into the Astral Plane.

In the '''Astral Plane''', they helped a '''mathematician''' retrieve a variable stolen by a benign memory entity. Then, they escaped '''githyanki''' pursuers through a color pool to '''The Outlands''' -- after stealing their silver. Guided by a kind bariaur's words, they journeyed towards Sigil, encountering various planar entities (including water-sharing petitioners, imps, and a '''Rogue Modron''') and ultimately reached '''Ribcage''', the gate-town to the Nine Hells.

In Ribcage, they engaged in various intrigues: upgrading a Rogue Modron with infernal silver, binding an '''imp''' into servitude with the help of a '''slaad advocate''', aiding a falsely accused man, uncovering a '''cambion's''' scheme with a '''hag''', and participating in a Blood War skirmish. They finally found passage to '''Sigil''' beneath a bar stool.

In Sigil, they discovered '''Cedani's grandmother's''' ruined poetry shop and defeated the '''Summer Eladrin''' responsible. After recovering from near-death, they met with faction representatives and negotiated with '''Niara''', a Sensate Factotum, for a '''Grand Sensory Stone in exchange for locating Ember'''.

Their search brought them to The Velvet Harness inn, where a '''pegasus''' and '''deva''' led them to a vortex to the '''Elemental Plane of Air'''. There, they survived a harrowing fall with '''Ember''''s help, learning to navigate a realm where direction is a matter of perception. They landed in the courtyard of the '''Palace of the Winds''', a majestic djinn stronghold.

There, they agreed to help rescue a '''trapped djinn''' from the clutches of '''kobolds''', defeating the '''Avatar of Yan-C-Bin'''.

Victorious, they returned to Sigil, and acquired the '''Grand Sensory Stone''' at last. Joining factions and receiving pay from '''The Alley Reapers''', they returned to their bodies in '''The Rebel Estate'''.

Grateful, Galdren rewarded them with '''vast sums of jink''', a Weave-attuned sextant, and explained that he planned to use the stone to '''capture the memories of a deceased person''' who has information invaluable to their cause.

He bid the heroes rest, for now.

Returning from their astral journey with the '''Grand Sensory Stone''', the party awoke at '''The Rebel Estate''' to visions of '''Tharos Orakul''' warning '''Octavius''' away from Thay. '''Cedani''' departed for the Feywild, while '''Lilia Corydalis''', a starry witch seeking her missing coven sister, joined the group.

Sent to '''Urlingwood''' to cure '''Glenn's''' curse, the '''Wychlaran''' declared the barbs needed to be removed where they were cast. At the '''Monolith of Stars''', visions of fractured futures preceded a goblinoid assault. In the chaos, '''Octavius's''' latent '''planeswalker spark''' ignited, pulling them through the '''Blind Eternities''' to '''Mirrodin''' before willing them home.

Pursuing the stolen Monolith into the '''Underdark''', they uncovered drow treachery, slew the ogre assassin '''Vaergath''', and returned the relic to '''Urlingwood'''—shattering divination tools across the continent. In the '''High Country''', they freed and destroyed the demon '''Threxzadur''', then rescued '''Elowen Stonereach''' from the maw of '''Kissethkashaan''', the White Wyrm, escaping through another desperate planeswalk.

In '''Cormyr''', they infiltrated '''Phaulkon Manor''', battled '''illithid''' in '''Hullack Forest''', and finally broke '''Glenn's''' curse where '''Manshoon''' had cast it. '''Glenn''' emerged transformed, embracing both his nobility and his frog nature. '''Githyanki''' seekers arrived and were driven off; '''Kith'rak Gaath''' fled without his silver blade.

Flying east to the '''Endless Wastes''', they joined a paladin's quest for vengeance among warring '''Tuigan''' tribes. Beneath the '''Lake of Mists''', they destroyed an '''Imaskari''' altar of reanimation, collapsing its undead horde. The treacherous '''Qara Sarn's''' head became tribute to '''Hoar''', securing both tribes and the paladin order as allies.

'''Galdren''' revealed his purpose: capturing the memories of '''Navarra''', an ally slain by '''Tharos''' who knew of a weapon in the '''Fell Tower''' in a desert of '''purple sands'''. At her grave, his ritual bound her memories into the '''Grand Sensory Stone'''. He charged the heroes to carry it into the '''Outer Planes''', find her spirit, and deliver it—with '''Ember''' and her broken blue-tinted mask as their guides.

Bearing orb and mask into the '''Astral Plane''' and out through the '''Turquoise Color Pool''', they crossed a reshaped '''Outlands''' and the orchards of '''Sheela Peryroyl'''. Within sight of '''Ribcage''' they freed '''Tessavyr''', a rilmani pinned to the roadside by infernal spikes, who named a favor owed and bid them call toward the '''Spire'''.

In the city, '''Glenn's''' cheerful shout of "Green!" spoke the key to a hidden portal, dropping the party into '''Minauros''', where '''The Moss Hag''' loosed a dire troll in revenge for her ruined schemes. They shattered it, plundered her lair of thirty-three '''soul coins''', and burned her shop on their return.

'''Xarannos''' now ruled Ribcage, '''Zelza''' having been eaten by '''Bel'''. '''Unit 137's''' hellfire freed three innocent souls from the hag's coins. Passing to '''Sigil''' through the stool at '''The Bleeding Horn''', '''Diedric''' was pulled aside to stand before '''Selûne''' as the kobolds of '''The Howling Island''' reached home at last, and was named '''Favored'''. '''Ember''' sent them beneath the Cage to find the spirit-seeker '''Vistra Runehall'''.

Her trail led through '''Vos'Ultok''' to the deva '''Galenthias''', who carried them to '''Lunia''', where the pit lord '''Sulphaxus''' rose from the holy waters mortal and redeemed. At the '''Pavilion of Courage''' they learned Vistra hunts the spectre of a carpenter who betrayed a rebel to save a family he lost anyway. Through '''Khorvas's Pool''' they swam into '''Karasuthra''', the eternal midnight of the '''Beastlands''', a day and a half behind her.

== (Known) Active Plot Threads ==
''Last updated: 2026-07-30''

=== Main Quest: Seeking Navarra ===
* '''The Rebel Wizard''': Galdren Murendar, a rebel Red Wizard, seeks to undermine Thay to reform it. To this end, he has tasked the party with finding Navarra, a deceased ally. He seeks to reunite her spirit with her captured memories so he can find a way into the Fell Tower, in the Plains of Purple Dust, which is rumored to house a powerful weapon.
* '''The Spirit Seeker''': The party is currently tracking Vistra, a Spirit Seeker, in order to find Navarra's spirit. She is in Karasuthra in the Beastlands.
* '''Andren's Ledger''': Vistra is currently tracking the spirit of Andren, a man who betrayed his friend Tovaal in a failed attempt to save his family. She is on a contract from the Mercykillers.

=== Side Quests ===
* '''Hunting the Slavers''': Imzel Ulmokina, the druid that freed the party from captivity, was last heard to have been following the rest of the slave wagons, tracking them to their destination.
* '''Lake Mulsantir''': The lake south of Lirensk still suffers from Red Wizards having introduced aberrations in a past skirmish with the Rashemi.
* '''The Phaulkon-bane''': The clone of Manshoon who had assailed Glenn's keep is known to be heading for Chult, using the funds he made to hire the priests of Ubtao to transfer his soul to another body before this one fails him.
* '''Walking the Paths''': The party has learned of many paths (at least six) that can be tread to ascend the hierarchy of Mount Celestia. They need make a pledge to a representative of a Power to start their journey and may be asked to make a sacrifice. Upon walking the path, they will gain +2 to a chosen attribute.
* '''Namers and Berks''': Party members may seek to further their standing with their preferred Sigil faction, which may grant special abilities and privileges.
* '''The Monolith of Stars''': Still safe, it invites academic and divination study.
* '''The Elfmound''': Drenn, the drow wizard spared at Phaulkon Manor, spoke of a Permanency spell and other Netherese magics he found at The Elfmound.

=== Party Member Paths ===
* '''The Planeswalker''': Octavius's planeswalker spark ignited and his fastbond to lands he visits continues to increase his power, collecting fragments of planes to revisit them more easily. He seeks to write a dissertation on the extinct Batrachi race, and has a Weave-Attuned Sextant ready to deliver to a Slaad in Sigil who is interested in its study, as he feels it may draw a connection between the Batrachi race and all Slaad.
* '''A Curse Turned Boon''': Glenn embraced his frog form as his curse was cured, gaining the ability to "wield it as a shield" as his father taught him. He idly joked that he should "start collecting curses".
* '''Favored of Selune''': Blessed by the Moon Goddess for his leading of the lost, Diedric has been named Favored. This connection may continue to grow.
* '''Touched by a Telthor''': Having served as a host for the Telthor of Stars, Lilia can now conjure its constellation around her. As she continues to study stars from other planes, she may grow to understand the strange ones in the night sky above the Monolith, as they do not match that of Faerun's. She has secured access to the Grove of Stars for her coven-sisters, who may relocate once Elowen reaches them with the news.
* '''The Caltrop's Covenant''': Unit 137 continues to show more Hellish influence, including the ability to summon Happy, a tortured lemure, and sporting a pentagram inscribed on his form. In exchange for his infernal immortality, Unit 137 has incurred a debt to the hells and will need to serve them for 666 days at some point in the future.
* '''The Piked Contract''': Smokescale battles with the philosophy of being indentured to a bunch of piking level-headed bloods. Do his chains even matter anymore? His speaking circle truth was "I really want to corrupt the owl, drag him down to my level".

=== Prior Party Members ===
* '''The Star of the Climbing Warrior''': Uchu Buredo, in company of Cedani, continues to seek a way to his home world of Tsunadehoshi. His lead is that a "Vine-Warrior" was spotted in The Velvet Harness by the pegasus Kai. (God the DM did a lot of worldbuilding for this shit.) He also seeks revenge on Vex'riath, the githyanki creche leader of Zar'kash's Forge, who also escaped and survived as that spelljammer ship was destroyed by Uchu's psionic awakening.
* '''Smoke on the Water''': Cedani, having received an urgent message from Soveliss, sought to rescue him from peril. He had been on the way to Evermeet to seek Tharos's true name and had asked of Cedani for a delivery of a scale from a white abishai before being captured by unknown assailants. Diedric (during a session he missed) assisted them, rescuing him from a Troll's cookpot by trading a useless bauble. Cedani and Uchu then proceeded to the Feywild, where her patron had called for a meeting of the seasons in response to her poetry shop being burned down by the summer eladrin Aula. Octavius had subsequently seen visions of Cedani and Uchu in Minauros, being surrounded by hags and the corpses of dead eladrin of various seasons. Uchu's eyes turned red.
* '''The Pursued and Pursuer''': Chai evades cultists pursuing her for her Changeling heritage. She accompanies Cove to the Sea of Fallen Stars, where she seeks to find the prison island that she escaped as a child.

=== Pending ===
* '''The High Diviner''': Tharos Orakul, deprived of the Monolith, continues to suffer from a wasting disease. In desperation, he has met with the Githyanki.
* '''The Foreseen Assault''' Octavius foresaw an attack on the monolith by Kissethkashaan, likely in the month of Flamerule (two months after Mirtul). The vision showed one faerzress crystal already shattered, two wychlaran triplets freezing and shattering, and the Monolith cracking with a yellow light emanating from the crack, hinting at something within. This was shared with Galdren, who said he'd warn the Rashemi, so they should be forewarned.
* '''Hilt's Reward''': In thanks for the party's aid in getting Xarannos to represent him in his accusation against Zelza, he told them that Fredd, a proprietor of The Shaved Coin in The Below, keeps a chest of rubies that they both gathered by using a portal to a mineral-rich pocket of the Elemental Plane of Earth. This portal lies below the fighting pits and the key is blood, so it's usually open. Hilt is also a senator of Ribcage now.
* '''A Wedding on the Wind''': The party will be invited to Ember and Zekir al-Suhail's wedding. They'll hear his voice in the wind. A greater boon was promised. This will be in two years during his coronation.
* '''The Writer''': Atrus, an author of Ages, seeks to write a linking book to a location that can cure any ailment, including Glenn's. This may take him until the month of Kythorn. He had granted the party a linking book labeled "Myst", which they could use to visit him. The tram code is half of the clocktower's set time.
* '''The Bewildered Horse''': Barnaby, the awakened horse, was not at the Velvet Harness the last two visits. Barnaby will return.
* '''The Nyaning Leonin''': Rescued from certain doom on Mirrodin, Shadespine has run off to the Rashemi Berserker Lodge to join them.
* '''The Coven and the Monolith''' Lilia's coven will soon make way for the Grove of Stars to study it and the Monolith. They owe Lilia for this opportunity, and for rescuing Elowen.
* '''The Swordmaster's Road''' Cyrus, Glenn's swordmaster, will likely have been teleported to the War Wizards of Cormyr by Galdren's teleportation circle. He'll make way to Glenn's old keep to see it restored.

=== Visions ===
* ''(Averted)'' '''The Diviner's Prize''': Tharos Orakul's eyes staring at Octavius as he touches the Monolith inside of a grand tower. This diversion shattered divination implements across Faerun.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Convergence of Seasons''': Cedani and three other eladrin — Summer, Spring, and Autumn — navigating a bog as dark shapes surround them.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Blue Fire Falls''': Blue fire crisscrossing the sky, lines burning as Faerûn screams.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Moon in His Arm''': Diedric wielding Selûne in his left arm.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Elder Shadow''': A colossal brain hovering over a city on the Sword Coast, many tendrils hanging down.
* ''(Unlikely Future)'' '''The Psion's Crown''': Uchu, resolute, placing a silver helmet with silver cables attached — as neon explosions appear behind him.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Skycleaver''': A colossal axe parting the clouds.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Crown of Daggers''': Unit 137 wearing a crown of daggers as a legion of devils cheer.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Melting Wings''': Devil wings melting in water.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Frog and the Falcon''': A frog riding a falcon over foggy green hills.
* ''(Happened — planeswalker spark ignition)'' '''The Fire Within''': A flame burning Octavius from within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Obelisk Laid Low''': The obelisk lying on its side in the sunlight.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Parting of Stars''': Lilia throwing her arms to the side, stars following her command and splitting the sky in twain.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Gauntlet of Golden Nails''': Diedric struggling to breathe as a hand bearing a strange gauntlet -- five rings, joined by golden chains, terminating in a golden nail on each finger -- lifted him up.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Marching Dead''': Undead shuffling in great masses, Thaymount erupting in the background.
* ''(Happened)'' '''Ten Seconds From Now''': An ogre crashing through the trees, charging at Octavius as he turns from facing the Monolith… ten seconds from now.
* ''(Future)'' '''Winter Comes to the Grove''': The Grove of Stars. Kissethkashaan, enraged, breathes a cone of cold in a sweeping pass. One of the faerzress crystals is already shattered. Two wychlaran triplets shatter to ice. The Monolith of Stars begins to crack under the cold — and a yellow light emanates from a large crack, implying something within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Red Rage''': Uchu and Cedani stand back-to-back in a bog beneath a dark fey sky as three hags approach from all sides. Dead eladrin of various seasons are scattered around them, sinking. Uchu looks to Cedani, who nods grimly. His glowing blue eyes and blue daggers turn red and he begins howling in a berserker rage.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Lich-Queen's Audience''': Hovering in the Astral Plane: a bald Red Wizard, Tharos Orakul, bowing and coughing blood as a colossal undead githyanki woman sits on a throne, examining her hand, projecting boredom while failing to conceal a glint in her eye. She notices Octavius before the vision fades.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Chorus of Stones''': B'ian Ch'k Ch'k kneels shirtless inside of a low wagon as dozens of sending stones begin vibrating all at once, voices whispering and shouting in various languages. He turns as he hears screaming outside.

=== B'ian Fact Facts ===
* In 1368 DR, B'ian Ch'k Ch'k hid ''inside'' a Candlekeep bookshelf during the doppelganger purge in the wake of the Bhaalspawn.
* In 1370 DR, B'ian Ch'k Ch'k was gifted a traveling wagon by the halfling nation of Luiren for his assistance in averting a flooding crisis. It was engineered by a halfling knight of Gond.

=== Consequences ===
* '''The Mirth of the Ironjaws''': With Hulmarra Ironjaw's death, and the burning of Ironjaw's Mirth, her surviving 11 sisters are likely to have heard of the events by now.
* '''The Charmed Guard:''' Thenn, the Thayan guard charmed during the escape from the Red Wizard wagons, was taken as prisoner by Imzel. He now lives as a servant to a woman in the Grove of Stars that is foreseen to be his wife. It's an awkward relationship.
* '''The Grand Concordance''': Aristeus, a mathematician culturally spending his last days in the Astral Plane, was aided by the party who recovered a variable for him from a memory entity. His allowed him to complete a masterwork that describes the Four Compulsions and the Veil. It seems of important scientific and philosophical importance.
* '''The Silver Skiff''': Vlaakith grows irked by the unanswered theft, three fireballed githyanki, a lost apprentice, the loss of Gaath's ambush team, with one of the apprentices banished and being specifically told to "Tell Vlaakith to leave us alone!". Octavius's vision of an ill Tharos Orakul groveling before her may be of greater import however.
* '''The Lost Githyanki''': Viran, apprentice of Kith'rak Gaath, was led astray by the Alley Reapers in his pursuit of the party and is likely imprisoned in the plane of Carceri.
* '''The Doomed Noble:''' The sickly noble on a balcony in Ribcage is probably super, super dead by now. He's been replaced by a younger noble, flanked by the same red and green cambion ladies.
* '''A Hag Remembers''': The Moss Hag's scheme to secure souls with Luciel foiled, she set a trap whilst Luciel fled the city.
* '''The Alley Reapers:''' They believe Cedani is an agent for a person named Boppel, the "high-up man". They were paying her a cut of their take in the Hive Ward. While she's no longer with the party, they will consider them associates.
* '''Yan-C-in-the-Bin''': Yan-C-Bin will not soon forget the defeat of his avatar at the hands of interlopers from the Prime Material Plane.
* '''The Djinn Prince''': Rescued from a sacrifial rite, the Prince gifted the party a Carpet of Flying and promised great gifts on his wedding day.
* '''The Kobold Pilgrimage''': Spared by Diedric, kobolds worshipping Yan-C-Bin fled back to their tempestuous homeworld, now guided by a familiar moon goddess.
* '''The Telthor of Stars''': Diviners clashed and Tharos was robbed of his fate of securing the Monolith of Stars via a route in the Underdark. The Telthor still lives within, watching over the Rashemi as their tribes unite to select a new Iron Lord. Grimsnarl, an awakened wolf, invited the party's voices in selecting the next Iron Lord as the lodges gather. His own pick: "a simpleton, but his dajemma is legendary -- he travels still with the child of Bhaal on the Sword Coast."
* '''The Drow Wizardress''': Murdered by Octavius, Aunrae Drezz'Lynur was freelancing while under the guise of serving Matron Zorratha. In reality, she was playing Tharos and the duergar against each other. Matron Zorratha wonders what came of the Monolith.
* '''The Unpaid Duergar''': Expecting a payment for pick-up and delivery of the Monolith of Stars, the duergar just found an empty battleground and their gold missing.
* '''The Breaking of Threxzadur''': Octavius willingly drank of a trapped tanar'ri's power, freeing it and then defeating it. It will be reborn in the Abyss.
* '''Eight-legged Freedom''': Freed from their bonds, the goblin's infant ice spiders traveled north, to the icy mountain from which their eggs were stolen.
* '''Vix's Crown''': Sneaking through a sprawling goblin country, the party helped Vix the white kobold steal a Tuigan Helm of Command from the goblin leader.
* '''The Surviving Crossbowman''': Erik the eye-patched crossbowman was rescued from freezing to death by the party. He has foresworn adventuring and claims to be retiring.
* '''The Blood Sorceress''': Qualm and the rest of the dragon slaying party perished in Kissethkashaan's lair. The party happily looted them.
* '''The Rescued Coven-sister''': Elowen Stonereach, an offering of blood to the white dragon by the Nanraak Goblins, was rescued and whisked away. She makes way to the Dalelands to meet with her coven, who will likely travel to The Monolith of Stars to study it.
* '''The White Wyrm's Due''': Angered by the previous dragonslaying party's attempt on his life and another party escaping with his tribute, Kissethkashaan plots his revenge, remembering that one of the members of the first group was of Rashemi descent.
* '''The Piked Halfling''': Finn Fatfoot was charmed into giving up his dreamsilk and giving up Zhentarim secrets. He is on the run from authorities.
* '''The Cleansing of Hullack Forest''': A mindflayer cell, which had fled something in the Underdark, was eliminated by the party. Glenn (with the help of Shrieker) also drove the Zhentarim from his family's keep and had his curse removed. Drenn, the drow wizard in charge of this Zhentarim compound, gave the party information as to Manshoon's plans in Chuult in exchange for his life.
* '''Shrieker''': Glenn's father's Ranger General of his armies continues to patrol the region around Thunderstone, bringing justice to those that the Purple Dragon Knights cannot. Her shrieks in the night bring comfort to children and woe to brigrands. A Tuigan woman mentioned seeing her on the battlefield when Cormyr fought in an alliance against the Tuigan horde, referring to her as Glenn's father's "paramour" who saved him from an ambush. She can be summoned by lighting two pyres on the northern towers near the bridge to Hullack Forest.
* '''The Silver Blade''': Kith'rak Gaath had his entire githyanki strike force ambushed the party but were defeated. Gaath retreated, but had to leave his sword behind.
* '''Blessed Grains''': Lilia blessed the fields of the Tuigan people in an extended ritual, ensuring a bountiful harvest.
* '''The Imaskari Altar''': The party fought through sahuagin priests and destroyed an ancient Imaskari Altar that could animate undead thanks to a link to the Plane of Negative Energy.
* '''Peace on the Endless Wastes''': Peace was brokered between the Fankiang Traditionalists and Hubadai Loyalists, with the Fankiang receiving a seven year deal where they would patrol and tax the Golden Way. The Fankiang agreed to assist with Thay, and the Hubadai representative said he would bring it before their leader in Kourmira.
* '''The Justice of Hoar''': The head of Qara Sarn, a Fankiang member who attempted to leave Khan Borcha to her death, was served to Hoar as recompense for the slaying of one of his paladins. He accepted with three thunderstrikes, and Lureene Amblecrown assured that they had secured the Hoar Order's aid against Thay.
* '''Ribcage, Under New Management''': Uncovering Zelza's scheme to plunge Ribcage into the Nine Hells, Xarannos was installed as interim Duke of Ribcage. Zelza was consumed by Bel.
* '''The Third Hell's Door''': A portal to the third layer of the Nine Hells is now publicly known and guarded in the Beetle Bazaar. It's near a woman's burned-down shop. Don't say your favorite color.
* '''A Hag Still Remembers''': The Moss Hag swam through the mire of Minauros, fleeing as the party survived her trap, stole her soul coins, and even freed her Catoblepas. She may yet seek revenge or move on to safer prey.
* '''Tessavyr's Debt''': A rilmani, pinned to the earth by infernal spikes placed by a circle of succubi working for Zelza, thanked the party for its freedom, stating that they just need call its name toward the Spire should they ever need aid.

=== Curiosities ===
* '''The Unpowered Golem''': This still sits abandoned in the flooded depths of the Imaskari Tomb. The party also looted an Anti-Divinity Orb from the same location.
* '''The Unnamed Scholar''': The party looted the body of a female ghoul scholar with a bronze circlet, stuffing her into their Bag of Holding for later Speak-with-Dead questioning. They then proceeded to forget about it.
* '''The Bronze Rib''': A Bronze Rib in Minauros proves to be a foil to teleportation magic, although it did not look easy to move.
* '''Aunrae's Spellbook''': Aside from the Teleportation Circle spell, the dead drow's spellbook also had a loose sheet of sigils for all ten Undrek'Thoz drow-city states and the duergar city of Fraaszummdin.
* '''The Ring''': Galdren asked Diedric if Azhar, Diedric's adopted father and financier of his estate, still bore a ring with gemstones, and how many there were. Diedric confirmed there were two rubies with one inset blank. Galdren looked relieved.
* '''The Time-Skip Doppelganger''': Investigating a darkness at the heart of Thay, Galden and Navarra traced it to a doppelganger impersonating an Aglarond noble, and mid-interrogation they experienced a skip in time (candles instantly burned low) and the doppelganger was disintegrated to ash.
* '''The Interventionist Deva''': Zariel seemed like the crankiest out of the bunch at the Pavilion of Courage.

== The Story So Far ==

<p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 24px; font-weight: bold; color: #2a1f15; text-align: center; margin-bottom: 20px; border-bottom: 2px solid #2a1f15; padding-bottom: 10px;">Chapter 1: Memory</p>
A group of diverse adventurers, each on their own path, found themselves at '''Ironjaw's Mirth''' on the Thay-Rashemen border. Their chance meeting was interrupted by the '''Red Wizards of Thay''', led by Vezim Sepret, who '''captured everyone''' in retaliation for losses at the Grove of Stars.

Now mired in the conflict between Thay and Rashemen and en route to a slave camp, '''the party escaped''' with aid from '''Imzel Ulmokina''', a Wychlaran druid. A letter on Vezim revealed orders from '''Tharos Orakul, High Diviner of Surthay''', to slay '''"the owl"''' and capture '''"the amphibian"''' for study.

Imzel directed them to Lirensk to meet '''Galdren Murendar''', an ally against the Red Wizards. After a perilous journey across Lake Mulsantir, where they battled quippergulls and a Gelatinous Cube, they met Galdren, '''a rebel Red Wizard''' working to reform Thay. '''He tasked them with acquiring a Grand Sensory Stone from Sigil''', the City of Doors, casting their souls into the Astral Plane.

In the '''Astral Plane''', they helped a '''mathematician''' retrieve a variable stolen by a benign memory entity. Then, they escaped '''githyanki''' pursuers through a color pool to '''The Outlands''' -- after stealing their silver. Guided by a kind bariaur's words, they journeyed towards Sigil, encountering various planar entities (including water-sharing petitioners, imps, and a '''Rogue Modron''') and ultimately reached '''Ribcage''', the gate-town to the Nine Hells.

In Ribcage, they engaged in various intrigues: upgrading a Rogue Modron with infernal silver, binding an '''imp''' into servitude with the help of a '''slaad advocate''', aiding a falsely accused man, uncovering a '''cambion's''' scheme with a '''hag''', and participating in a Blood War skirmish. They finally found passage to '''Sigil''' beneath a bar stool.

In Sigil, they discovered '''Cedani's grandmother's''' ruined poetry shop and defeated the '''Summer Eladrin''' responsible. After recovering from near-death, they met with faction representatives and negotiated with '''Niara''', a Sensate Factotum, for a '''Grand Sensory Stone in exchange for locating Ember'''.

Their search brought them to The Velvet Harness inn, where a '''pegasus''' and '''deva''' led them to a vortex to the '''Elemental Plane of Air'''. There, they survived a harrowing fall with '''Ember''''s help, learning to navigate a realm where direction is a matter of perception. They landed in the courtyard of the '''Palace of the Winds''', a majestic djinn stronghold.

There, they agreed to help rescue a '''trapped djinn''' from the clutches of '''kobolds''', defeating the '''Avatar of Yan-C-Bin'''.

Victorious, they returned to Sigil, and acquired the '''Grand Sensory Stone''' at last. Joining factions and receiving pay from '''The Alley Reapers''', they returned to their bodies in '''The Rebel Estate'''.

Grateful, Galdren rewarded them with '''vast sums of jink''', a Weave-attuned sextant, and explained that he planned to use the stone to '''capture the memories of a deceased person''' who has information invaluable to their cause.

He bid the heroes rest, for now.

Returning from their astral journey with the '''Grand Sensory Stone''', the party awoke at '''The Rebel Estate''' to visions of '''Tharos Orakul''' warning '''Octavius''' away from Thay. '''Cedani''' departed for the Feywild, while '''Lilia Corydalis''', a starry witch seeking her missing coven sister, joined the group.

Sent to '''Urlingwood''' to cure '''Glenn's''' curse, the '''Wychlaran''' declared the barbs needed to be removed where they were cast. At the '''Monolith of Stars''', visions of fractured futures preceded a goblinoid assault. In the chaos, '''Octavius's''' latent '''planeswalker spark''' ignited, pulling them through the '''Blind Eternities''' to '''Mirrodin''' before willing them home.

Pursuing the stolen Monolith into the '''Underdark''', they uncovered drow treachery, slew the ogre assassin '''Vaergath''', and returned the relic to '''Urlingwood'''—shattering divination tools across the continent. In the '''High Country''', they freed and destroyed the demon '''Threxzadur''', then rescued '''Elowen Stonereach''' from the maw of '''Kissethkashaan''', the White Wyrm, escaping through another desperate planeswalk.

In '''Cormyr''', they infiltrated '''Phaulkon Manor''', battled '''illithid''' in '''Hullack Forest''', and finally broke '''Glenn's''' curse where '''Manshoon''' had cast it. '''Glenn''' emerged transformed, embracing both his nobility and his frog nature. '''Githyanki''' seekers arrived and were driven off; '''Kith'rak Gaath''' fled without his silver blade.

Flying east to the '''Endless Wastes''', they joined a paladin's quest for vengeance among warring '''Tuigan''' tribes. Beneath the '''Lake of Mists''', they destroyed an '''Imaskari''' altar of reanimation, collapsing its undead horde. The treacherous '''Qara Sarn's''' head became tribute to '''Hoar''', securing both tribes and the paladin order as allies.

'''Galdren''' revealed his purpose: capturing the memories of '''Navarra''', an ally slain by '''Tharos''' who knew of a weapon in the '''Fell Tower''' in a desert of '''purple sands'''. At her grave, his ritual bound her memories into the '''Grand Sensory Stone'''. He charged the heroes to carry it into the '''Outer Planes''', find her spirit, and deliver it—with '''Ember''' and her broken blue-tinted mask as their guides.

Bearing orb and mask into the '''Astral Plane''' and out through the '''Turquoise Color Pool''', they crossed a reshaped '''Outlands''' and the orchards of '''Sheela Peryroyl'''. Within sight of '''Ribcage''' they freed '''Tessavyr''', a rilmani pinned to the roadside by infernal spikes, who named a favor owed and bid them call toward the '''Spire'''.

In the city, '''Glenn's''' cheerful shout of "Green!" spoke the key to a hidden portal, dropping the party into '''Minauros''', where '''The Moss Hag''' loosed a dire troll in revenge for her ruined schemes. They shattered it, plundered her lair of thirty-three '''soul coins''', and burned her shop on their return.

'''Xarannos''' now ruled Ribcage, '''Zelza''' having been eaten by '''Bel'''. '''Unit 137's''' hellfire freed three innocent souls from the hag's coins. Passing to '''Sigil''' through the stool at '''The Bleeding Horn''', '''Diedric''' was pulled aside to stand before '''Selûne''' as the kobolds of '''The Howling Island''' reached home at last, and was named '''Favored'''. '''Ember''' sent them beneath the Cage to find the spirit-seeker '''Vistra Runehall'''.

Her trail led through '''Vos'Ultok''' to the deva '''Galenthias''', who carried them to '''Lunia''', where the pit lord '''Sulphaxus''' rose from the holy waters mortal and redeemed. At the '''Pavilion of Courage''' they learned Vistra hunts the spectre of a carpenter who betrayed a rebel to save a family he lost anyway. Through '''Khorvas's Pool''' they swam into '''Karasuthra''', the eternal midnight of the '''Beastlands''', a day and a half behind her.

== (Known) Active Plot Threads ==
''Last updated: 2026-07-30''

=== Main Quest: Seeking Navarra ===
* '''The Rebel Wizard''': Galdren Murendar, a rebel Red Wizard, seeks to undermine Thay to reform it. To this end, he has tasked the party with finding Navarra, a deceased ally. He seeks to reunite her spirit with her captured memories so he can find a way into the Fell Tower, in the Plains of Purple Dust, which is rumored to house a powerful weapon.
* '''The Spirit Seeker''': The party is currently tracking Vistra, a Spirit Seeker, in order to find Navarra's spirit. She is in Karasuthra in the Beastlands.
* '''Andren's Ledger''': Vistra is currently tracking the spirit of Andren, a man who betrayed his friend Tovaal in a failed attempt to save his family. She is on a contract from the Mercykillers.

=== Side Quests ===
* '''Hunting the Slavers''': Imzel Ulmokina, the druid that freed the party from captivity, was last heard to have been following the rest of the slave wagons, tracking them to their destination.
* '''Lake Mulsantir''': The lake south of Lirensk still suffers from Red Wizards having introduced aberrations in a past skirmish with the Rashemi.
* '''The Phaulkon-bane''': The clone of Manshoon who had assailed Glenn's keep is known to be heading for Chult, using the funds he made to hire the priests of Ubtao to transfer his soul to another body before this one fails him.
* '''Walking the Paths''': The party has learned of many paths (at least six) that can be tread to ascend the hierarchy of Mount Celestia. They need make a pledge to a representative of a Power to start their journey and may be asked to make a sacrifice. Upon walking the path, they will gain +2 to a chosen attribute.
* '''Namers and Berks''': Party members may seek to further their standing with their preferred Sigil faction, which may grant special abilities and privileges.
* '''The Monolith of Stars''': Still safe, it invites academic and divination study.
* '''The Elfmound''': Drenn, the drow wizard spared at Phaulkon Manor, spoke of a Permanency spell and other Netherese magics he found at The Elfmound.

=== Party Member Paths ===
* '''The Planeswalker''': Octavius's planeswalker spark ignited and his fastbond to lands he visits continues to increase his power, collecting fragments of planes to revisit them more easily. He seeks to write a dissertation on the extinct Batrachi race, and has a Weave-Attuned Sextant ready to deliver to a Slaad in Sigil who is interested in its study, as he feels it may draw a connection between the Batrachi race and all Slaad.
* '''A Curse Turned Boon''': Glenn embraced his frog form as his curse was cured, gaining the ability to "wield it as a shield" as his father taught him. He idly joked that he should "start collecting curses".
* '''Favored of Selune''': Blessed by the Moon Goddess for his leading of the lost, Diedric has been named Favored. This connection may continue to grow.
* '''Touched by a Telthor''': Having served as a host for the Telthor of Stars, Lilia can now conjure its constellation around her. As she continues to study stars from other planes, she may grow to understand the strange ones in the night sky above the Monolith, as they do not match that of Faerun's. She has secured access to the Grove of Stars for her coven-sisters, who may relocate once Elowen reaches them with the news.
* '''The Caltrop's Covenant''': Unit 137 continues to show more Hellish influence, including the ability to summon Happy, a tortured lemure, and sporting a pentagram inscribed on his form. In exchange for his infernal immortality, Unit 137 has incurred a debt to the hells and will need to serve them for 666 days at some point in the future.
* '''The Piked Contract''': Smokescale battles with the philosophy of being indentured to a bunch of piking level-headed bloods. Do his chains even matter anymore? His speaking circle truth was "I really want to corrupt the owl, drag him down to my level".

=== Prior Party Members ===
* '''The Star of the Climbing Warrior''': Uchu Buredo, in company of Cedani, continues to seek a way to his home world of Tsunadehoshi. His lead is that a "Vine-Warrior" was spotted in The Velvet Harness by the pegasus Kai. (God the DM did a lot of worldbuilding for this shit.) He also seeks revenge on Vex'riath, the githyanki creche leader of Zar'kash's Forge, who also escaped and survived as that spelljammer ship was destroyed by Uchu's psionic awakening.
* '''Smoke on the Water''': Cedani, having received an urgent message from Soveliss, sought to rescue him from peril. He had been on the way to Evermeet to seek Tharos's true name and had asked of Cedani for a delivery of a scale from a white abishai before being captured by unknown assailants. Diedric (during a session he missed) assisted them, rescuing him from a Troll's cookpot by trading a useless bauble. Cedani and Uchu then proceeded to the Feywild, where her patron had called for a meeting of the seasons in response to her poetry shop being burned down by the summer eladrin Aula. Octavius had subsequently seen visions of Cedani and Uchu in Minauros, being surrounded by hags and the corpses of dead eladrin of various seasons. Uchu's eyes turned red.
* '''The Pursued and Pursuer''': Chai evades cultists pursuing her for her Changeling heritage. She accompanies Cove to the Sea of Fallen Stars, where she seeks to find the prison island that she escaped as a child.

=== Pending ===
* '''The High Diviner''': Tharos Orakul, deprived of the Monolith, continues to suffer from a wasting disease. In desperation, he has met with the Githyanki.
* '''The Foreseen Assault''' Octavius foresaw an attack on the monolith by Kissethkashaan, likely in the month of Flamerule (two months after Mirtul). The vision showed one faerzress crystal already shattered, two wychlaran triplets freezing and shattering, and the Monolith cracking with a yellow light emanating from the crack, hinting at something within. This was shared with Galdren, who said he'd warn the Rashemi, so they should be forewarned.
* '''Hilt's Reward''': In thanks for the party's aid in getting Xarannos to represent him in his accusation against Zelza, he told them that Fredd, a proprietor of The Shaved Coin in The Below, keeps a chest of rubies that they both gathered by using a portal to a mineral-rich pocket of the Elemental Plane of Earth. This portal lies below the fighting pits and the key is blood, so it's usually open. Hilt is also a senator of Ribcage now.
* '''A Wedding on the Wind''': The party will be invited to Ember and Zekir al-Suhail's wedding. They'll hear his voice in the wind. A greater boon was promised. This will be in two years during his coronation.
* '''The Writer''': Atrus, an author of Ages, seeks to write a linking book to a location that can cure any ailment, including Glenn's. This may take him until the month of Kythorn. He had granted the party a linking book labeled "Myst", which they could use to visit him. The tram code is half of the clocktower's set time.
* '''The Bewildered Horse''': Barnaby, the awakened horse, was not at the Velvet Harness the last two visits. Barnaby will return.
* '''The Nyaning Leonin''': Rescued from certain doom on Mirrodin, Shadespine has run off to the Rashemi Berserker Lodge to join them.
* '''The Coven and the Monolith''' Lilia's coven will soon make way for the Grove of Stars to study it and the Monolith. They owe Lilia for this opportunity, and for rescuing Elowen.
* '''The Swordmaster's Road''' Cyrus, Glenn's swordmaster, will likely have been teleported to the War Wizards of Cormyr by Galdren's teleportation circle. He'll make way to Glenn's old keep to see it restored.

=== Visions ===
* ''(Averted)'' '''The Diviner's Prize''': Tharos Orakul's eyes staring at Octavius as he touches the Monolith inside of a grand tower. This diversion shattered divination implements across Faerun.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Convergence of Seasons''': Cedani and three other eladrin — Summer, Spring, and Autumn — navigating a bog as dark shapes surround them.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Blue Fire Falls''': Blue fire crisscrossing the sky, lines burning as Faerûn screams.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Moon in His Arm''': Diedric wielding Selûne in his left arm.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Elder Shadow''': A colossal brain hovering over a city on the Sword Coast, many tendrils hanging down.
* ''(Unlikely Future)'' '''The Psion's Crown''': Uchu, resolute, placing a silver helmet with silver cables attached — as neon explosions appear behind him.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Skycleaver''': A colossal axe parting the clouds.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Crown of Daggers''': Unit 137 wearing a crown of daggers as a legion of devils cheer.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Melting Wings''': Devil wings melting in water.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Frog and the Falcon''': A frog riding a falcon over foggy green hills.
* ''(Happened — planeswalker spark ignition)'' '''The Fire Within''': A flame burning Octavius from within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Obelisk Laid Low''': The obelisk lying on its side in the sunlight.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Parting of Stars''': Lilia throwing her arms to the side, stars following her command and splitting the sky in twain.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Gauntlet of Golden Nails''': Diedric struggling to breathe as a hand bearing a strange gauntlet -- five rings, joined by golden chains, terminating in a golden nail on each finger -- lifted him up.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Marching Dead''': Undead shuffling in great masses, Thaymount erupting in the background.
* ''(Happened)'' '''Ten Seconds From Now''': An ogre crashing through the trees, charging at Octavius as he turns from facing the Monolith… ten seconds from now.
* ''(Future)'' '''Winter Comes to the Grove''': The Grove of Stars. Kissethkashaan, enraged, breathes a cone of cold in a sweeping pass. One of the faerzress crystals is already shattered. Two wychlaran triplets shatter to ice. The Monolith of Stars begins to crack under the cold — and a yellow light emanates from a large crack, implying something within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Red Rage''': Uchu and Cedani stand back-to-back in a bog beneath a dark fey sky as three hags approach from all sides. Dead eladrin of various seasons are scattered around them, sinking. Uchu looks to Cedani, who nods grimly. His glowing blue eyes and blue daggers turn red and he begins howling in a berserker rage.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Lich-Queen's Audience''': Hovering in the Astral Plane: a bald Red Wizard, Tharos Orakul, bowing and coughing blood as a colossal undead githyanki woman sits on a throne, examining her hand, projecting boredom while failing to conceal a glint in her eye. She notices Octavius before the vision fades.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Chorus of Stones''': B'ian Ch'k Ch'k kneels shirtless inside of a low wagon as dozens of sending stones begin vibrating all at once, voices whispering and shouting in various languages. He turns as he hears screaming outside.

=== B'ian Fact Facts ===
* In 1368 DR, B'ian Ch'k Ch'k hid ''inside'' a Candlekeep bookshelf during the doppelganger purge in the wake of the Bhaalspawn.
* In 1370 DR, B'ian Ch'k Ch'k was gifted a traveling wagon by the halfling nation of Luiren for his assistance in averting a flooding crisis. It was engineered by a halfling knight of Gond.

=== Consequences ===
* '''The Mirth of the Ironjaws''': With Hulmarra Ironjaw's death, and the burning of Ironjaw's Mirth, her surviving 11 sisters are likely to have heard of the events by now.
* '''The Charmed Guard:''' Thenn, the Thayan guard charmed during the escape from the Red Wizard wagons, was taken as prisoner by Imzel. He now lives as a servant to a woman in the Grove of Stars that is foreseen to be his wife. It's an awkward relationship.
* '''The Grand Concordance''': Aristeus, a mathematician culturally spending his last days in the Astral Plane, was aided by the party who recovered a variable for him from a memory entity. His allowed him to complete a masterwork that describes the Four Compulsions and the Veil. It seems of important scientific and philosophical importance.
* '''The Silver Skiff''': Vlaakith grows irked by the unanswered theft, three fireballed githyanki, a lost apprentice, the loss of Gaath's ambush team, with one of the apprentices banished and being specifically told to "Tell Vlaakith to leave us alone!". Octavius's vision of an ill Tharos Orakul groveling before her may be of greater import however.
* '''The Lost Githyanki''': Viran, apprentice of Kith'rak Gaath, was led astray by the Alley Reapers in his pursuit of the party and is likely imprisoned in the plane of Carceri.
* '''The Doomed Noble:''' The sickly noble on a balcony in Ribcage is probably super, super dead by now. He's been replaced by a younger noble, flanked by the same red and green cambion ladies.
* '''A Hag Remembers''': The Moss Hag's scheme to secure souls with Luciel foiled, she set a trap whilst Luciel fled the city.
* '''The Alley Reapers:''' They believe Cedani is an agent for a person named Boppel, the "high-up man". They were paying her a cut of their take in the Hive Ward. While she's no longer with the party, they will consider them associates.
* '''Yan-C-in-the-Bin''': Yan-C-Bin will not soon forget the defeat of his avatar at the hands of interlopers from the Prime Material Plane.
* '''The Djinn Prince''': Rescued from a sacrifial rite, the Prince gifted the party a Carpet of Flying and promised great gifts on his wedding day.
* '''The Kobold Pilgrimage''': Spared by Diedric, kobolds worshipping Yan-C-Bin fled back to their tempestuous homeworld, now guided by a familiar moon goddess.
* '''The Telthor of Stars''': Diviners clashed and Tharos was robbed of his fate of securing the Monolith of Stars via a route in the Underdark. The Telthor still lives within, watching over the Rashemi as their tribes unite to select a new Iron Lord. Grimsnarl, an awakened wolf, invited the party's voices in selecting the next Iron Lord as the lodges gather. His own pick: "a simpleton, but his dajemma is legendary -- he travels still with the child of Bhaal on the Sword Coast."
* '''The Drow Wizardress''': Murdered by Octavius, Aunrae Drezz'Lynur was freelancing while under the guise of serving Matron Zorratha. In reality, she was playing Tharos and the duergar against each other. Matron Zorratha wonders what came of the Monolith.
* '''The Unpaid Duergar''': Expecting a payment for pick-up and delivery of the Monolith of Stars, the duergar just found an empty battleground and their gold missing.
* '''The Breaking of Threxzadur''': Octavius willingly drank of a trapped tanar'ri's power, freeing it and then defeating it. It will be reborn in the Abyss.
* '''Eight-legged Freedom''': Freed from their bonds, the goblin's infant ice spiders traveled north, to the icy mountain from which their eggs were stolen.
* '''Vix's Crown''': Sneaking through a sprawling goblin country, the party helped Vix the white kobold steal a Tuigan Helm of Command from the goblin leader.
* '''The Surviving Crossbowman''': Erik the eye-patched crossbowman was rescued from freezing to death by the party. He has foresworn adventuring and claims to be retiring.
* '''The Blood Sorceress''': Qualm and the rest of the dragon slaying party perished in Kissethkashaan's lair. The party happily looted them.
* '''The Rescued Coven-sister''': Elowen Stonereach, an offering of blood to the white dragon by the Nanraak Goblins, was rescued and whisked away. She makes way to the Dalelands to meet with her coven, who will likely travel to The Monolith of Stars to study it.
* '''The White Wyrm's Due''': Angered by the previous dragonslaying party's attempt on his life and another party escaping with his tribute, Kissethkashaan plots his revenge, remembering that one of the members of the first group was of Rashemi descent.
* '''The Piked Halfling''': Finn Fatfoot was charmed into giving up his dreamsilk and giving up Zhentarim secrets. He is on the run from authorities.
* '''The Cleansing of Hullack Forest''': A mindflayer cell, which had fled something in the Underdark, was eliminated by the party. Glenn (with the help of Shrieker) also drove the Zhentarim from his family's keep and had his curse removed. Drenn, the drow wizard in charge of this Zhentarim compound, gave the party information as to Manshoon's plans in Chuult in exchange for his life.
* '''Shrieker''': Glenn's father's Ranger General of his armies continues to patrol the region around Thunderstone, bringing justice to those that the Purple Dragon Knights cannot. Her shrieks in the night bring comfort to children and woe to brigrands. A Tuigan woman mentioned seeing her on the battlefield when Cormyr fought in an alliance against the Tuigan horde, referring to her as Glenn's father's "paramour" who saved him from an ambush. She can be summoned by lighting two pyres on the northern towers near the bridge to Hullack Forest.
* '''The Silver Blade''': Kith'rak Gaath had his entire githyanki strike force ambushed the party but were defeated. Gaath retreated, but had to leave his sword behind.
* '''Blessed Grains''': Lilia blessed the fields of the Tuigan people in an extended ritual, ensuring a bountiful harvest.
* '''The Imaskari Altar''': The party fought through sahuagin priests and destroyed an ancient Imaskari Altar that could animate undead thanks to a link to the Plane of Negative Energy.
* '''Peace on the Endless Wastes''': Peace was brokered between the Fankiang Traditionalists and Hubadai Loyalists, with the Fankiang receiving a seven year deal where they would patrol and tax the Golden Way. The Fankiang agreed to assist with Thay, and the Hubadai representative said he would bring it before their leader in Kourmira.
* '''The Justice of Hoar''': The head of Qara Sarn, a Fankiang member who attempted to leave Khan Borcha to her death, was served to Hoar as recompense for the slaying of one of his paladins. He accepted with three thunderstrikes, and Lureene Amblecrown assured that they had secured the Hoar Order's aid against Thay.
* '''Ribcage, Under New Management''': Uncovering Zelza's scheme to plunge Ribcage into the Nine Hells, Xarannos was installed as interim Duke of Ribcage. Zelza was consumed by Bel.
* '''The Third Hell's Door''': A portal to the third layer of the Nine Hells is now publicly known and guarded in the Beetle Bazaar. It's near a woman's burned-down shop. Don't say your favorite color.
* '''A Hag Still Remembers''': The Moss Hag swam through the mire of Minauros, fleeing as the party survived her trap, stole her soul coins, and even freed her Catoblepas. She may yet seek revenge or move on to safer prey.
* '''Tessavyr's Debt''': A rilmani, pinned to the earth by infernal spikes placed by a circle of succubi working for Zelza, thanked the party for its freedom, stating that they just need call its name toward the Spire should they ever need aid.

=== Curiosities ===
* '''The Unpowered Golem''': This still sits abandoned in the flooded depths of the Imaskari Tomb. The party also looted an Anti-Divinity Orb from the same location.
* '''The Unnamed Scholar''': The party looted the body of a female ghoul scholar with a bronze circlet, stuffing her into their Bag of Holding for later Speak-with-Dead questioning. They then proceeded to forget about it.
* '''The Bronze Rib''': A Bronze Rib in Minauros proves to be a foil to teleportation magic, although it did not look easy to move.
* '''Aunrae's Spellbook''': Aside from the Teleportation Circle spell, the dead drow's spellbook also had a loose sheet of sigils for all ten Undrek'Thoz drow-city states and the duergar city of Fraaszummdin.
* '''The Ring''': Galdren asked Diedric if Azhar, Diedric's adopted father and financier of his estate, still bore a ring with gemstones, and how many there were. Diedric confirmed there were two rubies with one inset blank. Galdren looked relieved.
* '''The Time-Skip Doppelganger''': Investigating a darkness at the heart of Thay, Galden and Navarra traced it to a doppelganger impersonating an Aglarond noble, and mid-interrogation they experienced a skip in time (candles instantly burned low) and the doppelganger was disintegrated to ash.
* '''The Interventionist Deva''': Zariel seemed like the crankiest out of the bunch at the Pavilion of Courage.

== The Story So Far ==

<p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 24px; font-weight: bold; color: #2a1f15; text-align: center; margin-bottom: 20px; border-bottom: 2px solid #2a1f15; padding-bottom: 10px;">Chapter 1: Memory</p>
A group of diverse adventurers, each on their own path, found themselves at '''Ironjaw's Mirth''' on the Thay-Rashemen border. Their chance meeting was interrupted by the '''Red Wizards of Thay''', led by Vezim Sepret, who '''captured everyone''' in retaliation for losses at the Grove of Stars.

Now mired in the conflict between Thay and Rashemen and en route to a slave camp, '''the party escaped''' with aid from '''Imzel Ulmokina''', a Wychlaran druid. A letter on Vezim revealed orders from '''Tharos Orakul, High Diviner of Surthay''', to slay '''"the owl"''' and capture '''"the amphibian"''' for study.

Imzel directed them to Lirensk to meet '''Galdren Murendar''', an ally against the Red Wizards. After a perilous journey across Lake Mulsantir, where they battled quippergulls and a Gelatinous Cube, they met Galdren, '''a rebel Red Wizard''' working to reform Thay. '''He tasked them with acquiring a Grand Sensory Stone from Sigil''', the City of Doors, casting their souls into the Astral Plane.

In the '''Astral Plane''', they helped a '''mathematician''' retrieve a variable stolen by a benign memory entity. Then, they escaped '''githyanki''' pursuers through a color pool to '''The Outlands''' -- after stealing their silver. Guided by a kind bariaur's words, they journeyed towards Sigil, encountering various planar entities (including water-sharing petitioners, imps, and a '''Rogue Modron''') and ultimately reached '''Ribcage''', the gate-town to the Nine Hells.

In Ribcage, they engaged in various intrigues: upgrading a Rogue Modron with infernal silver, binding an '''imp''' into servitude with the help of a '''slaad advocate''', aiding a falsely accused man, uncovering a '''cambion's''' scheme with a '''hag''', and participating in a Blood War skirmish. They finally found passage to '''Sigil''' beneath a bar stool.

In Sigil, they discovered '''Cedani's grandmother's''' ruined poetry shop and defeated the '''Summer Eladrin''' responsible. After recovering from near-death, they met with faction representatives and negotiated with '''Niara''', a Sensate Factotum, for a '''Grand Sensory Stone in exchange for locating Ember'''.

Their search brought them to The Velvet Harness inn, where a '''pegasus''' and '''deva''' led them to a vortex to the '''Elemental Plane of Air'''. There, they survived a harrowing fall with '''Ember''''s help, learning to navigate a realm where direction is a matter of perception. They landed in the courtyard of the '''Palace of the Winds''', a majestic djinn stronghold.

There, they agreed to help rescue a '''trapped djinn''' from the clutches of '''kobolds''', defeating the '''Avatar of Yan-C-Bin'''.

Victorious, they returned to Sigil, and acquired the '''Grand Sensory Stone''' at last. Joining factions and receiving pay from '''The Alley Reapers''', they returned to their bodies in '''The Rebel Estate'''.

Grateful, Galdren rewarded them with '''vast sums of jink''', a Weave-attuned sextant, and explained that he planned to use the stone to '''capture the memories of a deceased person''' who has information invaluable to their cause.

He bid the heroes rest, for now.

Returning from their astral journey with the '''Grand Sensory Stone''', the party awoke at '''The Rebel Estate''' to visions of '''Tharos Orakul''' warning '''Octavius''' away from Thay. '''Cedani''' departed for the Feywild, while '''Lilia Corydalis''', a starry witch seeking her missing coven sister, joined the group.

Sent to '''Urlingwood''' to cure '''Glenn's''' curse, the '''Wychlaran''' declared the barbs needed to be removed where they were cast. At the '''Monolith of Stars''', visions of fractured futures preceded a goblinoid assault. In the chaos, '''Octavius's''' latent '''planeswalker spark''' ignited, pulling them through the '''Blind Eternities''' to '''Mirrodin''' before willing them home.

Pursuing the stolen Monolith into the '''Underdark''', they uncovered drow treachery, slew the ogre assassin '''Vaergath''', and returned the relic to '''Urlingwood'''—shattering divination tools across the continent. In the '''High Country''', they freed and destroyed the demon '''Threxzadur''', then rescued '''Elowen Stonereach''' from the maw of '''Kissethkashaan''', the White Wyrm, escaping through another desperate planeswalk.

In '''Cormyr''', they infiltrated '''Phaulkon Manor''', battled '''illithid''' in '''Hullack Forest''', and finally broke '''Glenn's''' curse where '''Manshoon''' had cast it. '''Glenn''' emerged transformed, embracing both his nobility and his frog nature. '''Githyanki''' seekers arrived and were driven off; '''Kith'rak Gaath''' fled without his silver blade.

Flying east to the '''Endless Wastes''', they joined a paladin's quest for vengeance among warring '''Tuigan''' tribes. Beneath the '''Lake of Mists''', they destroyed an '''Imaskari''' altar of reanimation, collapsing its undead horde. The treacherous '''Qara Sarn's''' head became tribute to '''Hoar''', securing both tribes and the paladin order as allies.

'''Galdren''' revealed his purpose: capturing the memories of '''Navarra''', an ally slain by '''Tharos''' who knew of a weapon in the '''Fell Tower''' in a desert of '''purple sands'''. At her grave, his ritual bound her memories into the '''Grand Sensory Stone'''. He charged the heroes to carry it into the '''Outer Planes''', find her spirit, and deliver it—with '''Ember''' and her broken blue-tinted mask as their guides.

Bearing orb and mask into the '''Astral Plane''' and out through the '''Turquoise Color Pool''', they crossed a reshaped '''Outlands''' and the orchards of '''Sheela Peryroyl'''. Within sight of '''Ribcage''' they freed '''Tessavyr''', a rilmani pinned to the roadside by infernal spikes, who named a favor owed and bid them call toward the '''Spire'''.

In the city, '''Glenn's''' cheerful shout of "Green!" spoke the key to a hidden portal, dropping the party into '''Minauros''', where '''The Moss Hag''' loosed a dire troll in revenge for her ruined schemes. They shattered it, plundered her lair of thirty-three '''soul coins''', and burned her shop on their return.

'''Xarannos''' now ruled Ribcage, '''Zelza''' having been eaten by '''Bel'''. '''Unit 137's''' hellfire freed three innocent souls from the hag's coins. Passing to '''Sigil''' through the stool at '''The Bleeding Horn''', '''Diedric''' was pulled aside to stand before '''Selûne''' as the kobolds of '''The Howling Island''' reached home at last, and was named '''Favored'''. '''Ember''' sent them beneath the Cage to find the spirit-seeker '''Vistra Runehall'''.

Her trail led through '''Vos'Ultok''' to the deva '''Galenthias''', who carried them to '''Lunia''', where the pit lord '''Sulphaxus''' rose from the holy waters mortal and redeemed. At the '''Pavilion of Courage''' they learned Vistra hunts the spectre of a carpenter who betrayed a rebel to save a family he lost anyway. Through '''Khorvas's Pool''' they swam into '''Karasuthra''', the eternal midnight of the '''Beastlands''', a day and a half behind her.

'''From:''' 7th of Tarsakh (The Claw of the Storms, April), 1372 DR

'''To:''' 3rd of Mirtul (The Melting, May), 1372 DR (Still in progress)

''Last updated: 2026-07-30''

=== Main Quest: Seeking Navarra ===
* '''The Rebel Wizard''': Galdren Murendar, a rebel Red Wizard, seeks to undermine Thay to reform it. To this end, he has tasked the party with finding Navarra, a deceased ally. He seeks to reunite her spirit with her captured memories so he can find a way into the Fell Tower, in the Plains of Purple Dust, which is rumored to house a powerful weapon.
* '''The Spirit Seeker''': The party is currently tracking Vistra, a Spirit Seeker, in order to find Navarra's spirit. She is in Karasuthra in the Beastlands.
* '''Andren's Ledger''': Vistra is currently tracking the spirit of Andren, a man who betrayed his friend Tovaal in a failed attempt to save his family. She is on a contract from the Mercykillers.

=== Side Quests ===
* '''Hunting the Slavers''': Imzel Ulmokina, the druid that freed the party from captivity, was last heard to have been following the rest of the slave wagons, tracking them to their destination.
* '''Lake Mulsantir''': The lake south of Lirensk still suffers from Red Wizards having introduced aberrations in a past skirmish with the Rashemi.
* '''The Phaulkon-bane''': The clone of Manshoon who had assailed Glenn's keep is known to be heading for Chult, using the funds he made to hire the priests of Ubtao to transfer his soul to another body before this one fails him.
* '''Walking the Paths''': The party has learned of many paths (at least six) that can be tread to ascend the hierarchy of Mount Celestia. They need make a pledge to a representative of a Power to start their journey and may be asked to make a sacrifice. Upon walking the path, they will gain +2 to a chosen attribute.
* '''Namers and Berks''': Party members may seek to further their standing with their preferred Sigil faction, which may grant special abilities and privileges.
* '''The Monolith of Stars''': Still safe, it invites academic and divination study.
* '''The Elfmound''': Drenn, the drow wizard spared at Phaulkon Manor, spoke of a Permanency spell and other Netherese magics he found at The Elfmound.

=== Party Member Paths ===
* '''The Planeswalker''': Octavius's planeswalker spark ignited and his fastbond to lands he visits continues to increase his power, collecting fragments of planes to revisit them more easily. He seeks to write a dissertation on the extinct Batrachi race, and has a Weave-Attuned Sextant ready to deliver to a Slaad in Sigil who is interested in its study, as he feels it may draw a connection between the Batrachi race and all Slaad.
* '''A Curse Turned Boon''': Glenn embraced his frog form as his curse was cured, gaining the ability to "wield it as a shield" as his father taught him. He idly joked that he should "start collecting curses".
* '''Favored of Selune''': Blessed by the Moon Goddess for his leading of the lost, Diedric has been named Favored. This connection may continue to grow.
* '''Touched by a Telthor''': Having served as a host for the Telthor of Stars, Lilia can now conjure its constellation around her. As she continues to study stars from other planes, she may grow to understand the strange ones in the night sky above the Monolith, as they do not match that of Faerun's. She has secured access to the Grove of Stars for her coven-sisters, who may relocate once Elowen reaches them with the news.
* '''The Caltrop's Covenant''': Unit 137 continues to show more Hellish influence, including the ability to summon Happy, a tortured lemure, and sporting a pentagram inscribed on his form. In exchange for his infernal immortality, Unit 137 has incurred a debt to the hells and will need to serve them for 666 days at some point in the future.
* '''The Piked Contract''': Smokescale battles with the philosophy of being indentured to a bunch of piking level-headed bloods. Do his chains even matter anymore? His speaking circle truth was "I really want to corrupt the owl, drag him down to my level".

=== Prior Party Members ===
* '''The Star of the Climbing Warrior''': Uchu Buredo, in company of Cedani, continues to seek a way to his home world of Tsunadehoshi. His lead is that a "Vine-Warrior" was spotted in The Velvet Harness by the pegasus Kai. (God the DM did a lot of worldbuilding for this shit.) He also seeks revenge on Vex'riath, the githyanki creche leader of Zar'kash's Forge, who also escaped and survived as that spelljammer ship was destroyed by Uchu's psionic awakening.
* '''Smoke on the Water''': Cedani, having received an urgent message from Soveliss, sought to rescue him from peril. He had been on the way to Evermeet to seek Tharos's true name and had asked of Cedani for a delivery of a scale from a white abishai before being captured by unknown assailants. Diedric (during a session he missed) assisted them, rescuing him from a Troll's cookpot by trading a useless bauble. Cedani and Uchu then proceeded to the Feywild, where her patron had called for a meeting of the seasons in response to her poetry shop being burned down by the summer eladrin Aula. Octavius had subsequently seen visions of Cedani and Uchu in Minauros, being surrounded by hags and the corpses of dead eladrin of various seasons. Uchu's eyes turned red.
* '''The Pursued and Pursuer''': Chai evades cultists pursuing her for her Changeling heritage. She accompanies Cove to the Sea of Fallen Stars, where she seeks to find the prison island that she escaped as a child.

=== Pending ===
* '''The High Diviner''': Tharos Orakul, deprived of the Monolith, continues to suffer from a wasting disease. In desperation, he has met with the Githyanki.
* '''The Foreseen Assault''' Octavius foresaw an attack on the monolith by Kissethkashaan, likely in the month of Flamerule (two months after Mirtul). The vision showed one faerzress crystal already shattered, two wychlaran triplets freezing and shattering, and the Monolith cracking with a yellow light emanating from the crack, hinting at something within. This was shared with Galdren, who said he'd warn the Rashemi, so they should be forewarned.
* '''Hilt's Reward''': In thanks for the party's aid in getting Xarannos to represent him in his accusation against Zelza, he told them that Fredd, a proprietor of The Shaved Coin in The Below, keeps a chest of rubies that they both gathered by using a portal to a mineral-rich pocket of the Elemental Plane of Earth. This portal lies below the fighting pits and the key is blood, so it's usually open. Hilt is also a senator of Ribcage now.
* '''A Wedding on the Wind''': The party will be invited to Ember and Zekir al-Suhail's wedding. They'll hear his voice in the wind. A greater boon was promised. This will be in two years during his coronation.
* '''The Writer''': Atrus, an author of Ages, seeks to write a linking book to a location that can cure any ailment, including Glenn's. This may take him until the month of Kythorn. He had granted the party a linking book labeled "Myst", which they could use to visit him. The tram code is half of the clocktower's set time.
* '''The Bewildered Horse''': Barnaby, the awakened horse, was not at the Velvet Harness the last two visits. Barnaby will return.
* '''The Nyaning Leonin''': Rescued from certain doom on Mirrodin, Shadespine has run off to the Rashemi Berserker Lodge to join them.
* '''The Coven and the Monolith''' Lilia's coven will soon make way for the Grove of Stars to study it and the Monolith. They owe Lilia for this opportunity, and for rescuing Elowen.
* '''The Swordmaster's Road''' Cyrus, Glenn's swordmaster, will likely have been teleported to the War Wizards of Cormyr by Galdren's teleportation circle. He'll make way to Glenn's old keep to see it restored.

=== Visions ===
* ''(Averted)'' '''The Diviner's Prize''': Tharos Orakul's eyes staring at Octavius as he touches the Monolith inside of a grand tower. This diversion shattered divination implements across Faerun.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Convergence of Seasons''': Cedani and three other eladrin — Summer, Spring, and Autumn — navigating a bog as dark shapes surround them.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Blue Fire Falls''': Blue fire crisscrossing the sky, lines burning as Faerûn screams.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Moon in His Arm''': Diedric wielding Selûne in his left arm.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Elder Shadow''': A colossal brain hovering over a city on the Sword Coast, many tendrils hanging down.
* ''(Unlikely Future)'' '''The Psion's Crown''': Uchu, resolute, placing a silver helmet with silver cables attached — as neon explosions appear behind him.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Skycleaver''': A colossal axe parting the clouds.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Crown of Daggers''': Unit 137 wearing a crown of daggers as a legion of devils cheer.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Melting Wings''': Devil wings melting in water.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Frog and the Falcon''': A frog riding a falcon over foggy green hills.
* ''(Happened — planeswalker spark ignition)'' '''The Fire Within''': A flame burning Octavius from within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Obelisk Laid Low''': The obelisk lying on its side in the sunlight.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Parting of Stars''': Lilia throwing her arms to the side, stars following her command and splitting the sky in twain.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Gauntlet of Golden Nails''': Diedric struggling to breathe as a hand bearing a strange gauntlet -- five rings, joined by golden chains, terminating in a golden nail on each finger -- lifted him up.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Marching Dead''': Undead shuffling in great masses, Thaymount erupting in the background.
* ''(Happened)'' '''Ten Seconds From Now''': An ogre crashing through the trees, charging at Octavius as he turns from facing the Monolith… ten seconds from now.
* ''(Future)'' '''Winter Comes to the Grove''': The Grove of Stars. Kissethkashaan, enraged, breathes a cone of cold in a sweeping pass. One of the faerzress crystals is already shattered. Two wychlaran triplets shatter to ice. The Monolith of Stars begins to crack under the cold — and a yellow light emanates from a large crack, implying something within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Red Rage''': Uchu and Cedani stand back-to-back in a bog beneath a dark fey sky as three hags approach from all sides. Dead eladrin of various seasons are scattered around them, sinking. Uchu looks to Cedani, who nods grimly. His glowing blue eyes and blue daggers turn red and he begins howling in a berserker rage.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Lich-Queen's Audience''': Hovering in the Astral Plane: a bald Red Wizard, Tharos Orakul, bowing and coughing blood as a colossal undead githyanki woman sits on a throne, examining her hand, projecting boredom while failing to conceal a glint in her eye. She notices Octavius before the vision fades.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Chorus of Stones''': B'ian Ch'k Ch'k kneels shirtless inside of a low wagon as dozens of sending stones begin vibrating all at once, voices whispering and shouting in various languages. He turns as he hears screaming outside.

=== B'ian Fact Facts ===
* In 1368 DR, B'ian Ch'k Ch'k hid ''inside'' a Candlekeep bookshelf during the doppelganger purge in the wake of the Bhaalspawn.
* In 1370 DR, B'ian Ch'k Ch'k was gifted a traveling wagon by the halfling nation of Luiren for his assistance in averting a flooding crisis. It was engineered by a halfling knight of Gond.

=== Consequences ===
* '''The Mirth of the Ironjaws''': With Hulmarra Ironjaw's death, and the burning of Ironjaw's Mirth, her surviving 11 sisters are likely to have heard of the events by now.
* '''The Charmed Guard:''' Thenn, the Thayan guard charmed during the escape from the Red Wizard wagons, was taken as prisoner by Imzel. He now lives as a servant to a woman in the Grove of Stars that is foreseen to be his wife. It's an awkward relationship.
* '''The Grand Concordance''': Aristeus, a mathematician culturally spending his last days in the Astral Plane, was aided by the party who recovered a variable for him from a memory entity. His allowed him to complete a masterwork that describes the Four Compulsions and the Veil. It seems of important scientific and philosophical importance.
* '''The Silver Skiff''': Vlaakith grows irked by the unanswered theft, three fireballed githyanki, a lost apprentice, the loss of Gaath's ambush team, with one of the apprentices banished and being specifically told to "Tell Vlaakith to leave us alone!". Octavius's vision of an ill Tharos Orakul groveling before her may be of greater import however.
* '''The Lost Githyanki''': Viran, apprentice of Kith'rak Gaath, was led astray by the Alley Reapers in his pursuit of the party and is likely imprisoned in the plane of Carceri.
* '''The Doomed Noble:''' The sickly noble on a balcony in Ribcage is probably super, super dead by now. He's been replaced by a younger noble, flanked by the same red and green cambion ladies.
* '''A Hag Remembers''': The Moss Hag's scheme to secure souls with Luciel foiled, she set a trap whilst Luciel fled the city.
* '''The Alley Reapers:''' They believe Cedani is an agent for a person named Boppel, the "high-up man". They were paying her a cut of their take in the Hive Ward. While she's no longer with the party, they will consider them associates.
* '''Yan-C-in-the-Bin''': Yan-C-Bin will not soon forget the defeat of his avatar at the hands of interlopers from the Prime Material Plane.
* '''The Djinn Prince''': Rescued from a sacrifial rite, the Prince gifted the party a Carpet of Flying and promised great gifts on his wedding day.
* '''The Kobold Pilgrimage''': Spared by Diedric, kobolds worshipping Yan-C-Bin fled back to their tempestuous homeworld, now guided by a familiar moon goddess.
* '''The Telthor of Stars''': Diviners clashed and Tharos was robbed of his fate of securing the Monolith of Stars via a route in the Underdark. The Telthor still lives within, watching over the Rashemi as their tribes unite to select a new Iron Lord. Grimsnarl, an awakened wolf, invited the party's voices in selecting the next Iron Lord as the lodges gather. His own pick: "a simpleton, but his dajemma is legendary -- he travels still with the child of Bhaal on the Sword Coast."
* '''The Drow Wizardress''': Murdered by Octavius, Aunrae Drezz'Lynur was freelancing while under the guise of serving Matron Zorratha. In reality, she was playing Tharos and the duergar against each other. Matron Zorratha wonders what came of the Monolith.
* '''The Unpaid Duergar''': Expecting a payment for pick-up and delivery of the Monolith of Stars, the duergar just found an empty battleground and their gold missing.
* '''The Breaking of Threxzadur''': Octavius willingly drank of a trapped tanar'ri's power, freeing it and then defeating it. It will be reborn in the Abyss.
* '''Eight-legged Freedom''': Freed from their bonds, the goblin's infant ice spiders traveled north, to the icy mountain from which their eggs were stolen.
* '''Vix's Crown''': Sneaking through a sprawling goblin country, the party helped Vix the white kobold steal a Tuigan Helm of Command from the goblin leader.
* '''The Surviving Crossbowman''': Erik the eye-patched crossbowman was rescued from freezing to death by the party. He has foresworn adventuring and claims to be retiring.
* '''The Blood Sorceress''': Qualm and the rest of the dragon slaying party perished in Kissethkashaan's lair. The party happily looted them.
* '''The Rescued Coven-sister''': Elowen Stonereach, an offering of blood to the white dragon by the Nanraak Goblins, was rescued and whisked away. She makes way to the Dalelands to meet with her coven, who will likely travel to The Monolith of Stars to study it.
* '''The White Wyrm's Due''': Angered by the previous dragonslaying party's attempt on his life and another party escaping with his tribute, Kissethkashaan plots his revenge, remembering that one of the members of the first group was of Rashemi descent.
* '''The Piked Halfling''': Finn Fatfoot was charmed into giving up his dreamsilk and giving up Zhentarim secrets. He is on the run from authorities.
* '''The Cleansing of Hullack Forest''': A mindflayer cell, which had fled something in the Underdark, was eliminated by the party. Glenn (with the help of Shrieker) also drove the Zhentarim from his family's keep and had his curse removed. Drenn, the drow wizard in charge of this Zhentarim compound, gave the party information as to Manshoon's plans in Chuult in exchange for his life.
* '''Shrieker''': Glenn's father's Ranger General of his armies continues to patrol the region around Thunderstone, bringing justice to those that the Purple Dragon Knights cannot. Her shrieks in the night bring comfort to children and woe to brigrands. A Tuigan woman mentioned seeing her on the battlefield when Cormyr fought in an alliance against the Tuigan horde, referring to her as Glenn's father's "paramour" who saved him from an ambush. She can be summoned by lighting two pyres on the northern towers near the bridge to Hullack Forest.
* '''The Silver Blade''': Kith'rak Gaath had his entire githyanki strike force ambushed the party but were defeated. Gaath retreated, but had to leave his sword behind.
* '''Blessed Grains''': Lilia blessed the fields of the Tuigan people in an extended ritual, ensuring a bountiful harvest.
* '''The Imaskari Altar''': The party fought through sahuagin priests and destroyed an ancient Imaskari Altar that could animate undead thanks to a link to the Plane of Negative Energy.
* '''Peace on the Endless Wastes''': Peace was brokered between the Fankiang Traditionalists and Hubadai Loyalists, with the Fankiang receiving a seven year deal where they would patrol and tax the Golden Way. The Fankiang agreed to assist with Thay, and the Hubadai representative said he would bring it before their leader in Kourmira.
* '''The Justice of Hoar''': The head of Qara Sarn, a Fankiang member who attempted to leave Khan Borcha to her death, was served to Hoar as recompense for the slaying of one of his paladins. He accepted with three thunderstrikes, and Lureene Amblecrown assured that they had secured the Hoar Order's aid against Thay.
* '''Ribcage, Under New Management''': Uncovering Zelza's scheme to plunge Ribcage into the Nine Hells, Xarannos was installed as interim Duke of Ribcage. Zelza was consumed by Bel.
* '''The Third Hell's Door''': A portal to the third layer of the Nine Hells is now publicly known and guarded in the Beetle Bazaar. It's near a woman's burned-down shop. Don't say your favorite color.
* '''A Hag Still Remembers''': The Moss Hag swam through the mire of Minauros, fleeing as the party survived her trap, stole her soul coins, and even freed her Catoblepas. She may yet seek revenge or move on to safer prey.
* '''Tessavyr's Debt''': A rilmani, pinned to the earth by infernal spikes placed by a circle of succubi working for Zelza, thanked the party for its freedom, stating that they just need call its name toward the Spire should they ever need aid.

=== Curiosities ===
* '''The Unpowered Golem''': This still sits abandoned in the flooded depths of the Imaskari Tomb. The party also looted an Anti-Divinity Orb from the same location.
* '''The Unnamed Scholar''': The party looted the body of a female ghoul scholar with a bronze circlet, stuffing her into their Bag of Holding for later Speak-with-Dead questioning. They then proceeded to forget about it.
* '''The Bronze Rib''': A Bronze Rib in Minauros proves to be a foil to teleportation magic, although it did not look easy to move.
* '''Aunrae's Spellbook''': Aside from the Teleportation Circle spell, the dead drow's spellbook also had a loose sheet of sigils for all ten Undrek'Thoz drow-city states and the duergar city of Fraaszummdin.
* '''The Ring''': Galdren asked Diedric if Azhar, Diedric's adopted father and financier of his estate, still bore a ring with gemstones, and how many there were. Diedric confirmed there were two rubies with one inset blank. Galdren looked relieved.
* '''The Time-Skip Doppelganger''': Investigating a darkness at the heart of Thay, Galden and Navarra traced it to a doppelganger impersonating an Aglarond noble, and mid-interrogation they experienced a skip in time (candles instantly burned low) and the doppelganger was disintegrated to ash.
* '''The Interventionist Deva''': Zariel seemed like the crankiest out of the bunch at the Pavilion of Courage.

== The Story So Far ==

<p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 24px; font-weight: bold; color: #2a1f15; text-align: center; margin-bottom: 20px; border-bottom: 2px solid #2a1f15; padding-bottom: 10px;">Chapter 1: Memory</p>
A group of diverse adventurers, each on their own path, found themselves at '''Ironjaw's Mirth''' on the Thay-Rashemen border. Their chance meeting was interrupted by the '''Red Wizards of Thay''', led by Vezim Sepret, who '''captured everyone''' in retaliation for losses at the Grove of Stars.

Now mired in the conflict between Thay and Rashemen and en route to a slave camp, '''the party escaped''' with aid from '''Imzel Ulmokina''', a Wychlaran druid. A letter on Vezim revealed orders from '''Tharos Orakul, High Diviner of Surthay''', to slay '''"the owl"''' and capture '''"the amphibian"''' for study.

Imzel directed them to Lirensk to meet '''Galdren Murendar''', an ally against the Red Wizards. After a perilous journey across Lake Mulsantir, where they battled quippergulls and a Gelatinous Cube, they met Galdren, '''a rebel Red Wizard''' working to reform Thay. '''He tasked them with acquiring a Grand Sensory Stone from Sigil''', the City of Doors, casting their souls into the Astral Plane.

In the '''Astral Plane''', they helped a '''mathematician''' retrieve a variable stolen by a benign memory entity. Then, they escaped '''githyanki''' pursuers through a color pool to '''The Outlands''' -- after stealing their silver. Guided by a kind bariaur's words, they journeyed towards Sigil, encountering various planar entities (including water-sharing petitioners, imps, and a '''Rogue Modron''') and ultimately reached '''Ribcage''', the gate-town to the Nine Hells.

In Ribcage, they engaged in various intrigues: upgrading a Rogue Modron with infernal silver, binding an '''imp''' into servitude with the help of a '''slaad advocate''', aiding a falsely accused man, uncovering a '''cambion's''' scheme with a '''hag''', and participating in a Blood War skirmish. They finally found passage to '''Sigil''' beneath a bar stool.

In Sigil, they discovered '''Cedani's grandmother's''' ruined poetry shop and defeated the '''Summer Eladrin''' responsible. After recovering from near-death, they met with faction representatives and negotiated with '''Niara''', a Sensate Factotum, for a '''Grand Sensory Stone in exchange for locating Ember'''.

Their search brought them to The Velvet Harness inn, where a '''pegasus''' and '''deva''' led them to a vortex to the '''Elemental Plane of Air'''. There, they survived a harrowing fall with '''Ember''''s help, learning to navigate a realm where direction is a matter of perception. They landed in the courtyard of the '''Palace of the Winds''', a majestic djinn stronghold.

There, they agreed to help rescue a '''trapped djinn''' from the clutches of '''kobolds''', defeating the '''Avatar of Yan-C-Bin'''.

Victorious, they returned to Sigil, and acquired the '''Grand Sensory Stone''' at last. Joining factions and receiving pay from '''The Alley Reapers''', they returned to their bodies in '''The Rebel Estate'''.

Grateful, Galdren rewarded them with '''vast sums of jink''', a Weave-attuned sextant, and explained that he planned to use the stone to '''capture the memories of a deceased person''' who has information invaluable to their cause.

He bid the heroes rest, for now.

Returning from their astral journey with the '''Grand Sensory Stone''', the party awoke at '''The Rebel Estate''' to visions of '''Tharos Orakul''' warning '''Octavius''' away from Thay. '''Cedani''' departed for the Feywild, while '''Lilia Corydalis''', a starry witch seeking her missing coven sister, joined the group.

Sent to '''Urlingwood''' to cure '''Glenn's''' curse, the '''Wychlaran''' declared the barbs needed to be removed where they were cast. At the '''Monolith of Stars''', visions of fractured futures preceded a goblinoid assault. In the chaos, '''Octavius's''' latent '''planeswalker spark''' ignited, pulling them through the '''Blind Eternities''' to '''Mirrodin''' before willing them home.

Pursuing the stolen Monolith into the '''Underdark''', they uncovered drow treachery, slew the ogre assassin '''Vaergath''', and returned the relic to '''Urlingwood'''—shattering divination tools across the continent. In the '''High Country''', they freed and destroyed the demon '''Threxzadur''', then rescued '''Elowen Stonereach''' from the maw of '''Kissethkashaan''', the White Wyrm, escaping through another desperate planeswalk.

In '''Cormyr''', they infiltrated '''Phaulkon Manor''', battled '''illithid''' in '''Hullack Forest''', and finally broke '''Glenn's''' curse where '''Manshoon''' had cast it. '''Glenn''' emerged transformed, embracing both his nobility and his frog nature. '''Githyanki''' seekers arrived and were driven off; '''Kith'rak Gaath''' fled without his silver blade.

Flying east to the '''Endless Wastes''', they joined a paladin's quest for vengeance among warring '''Tuigan''' tribes. Beneath the '''Lake of Mists''', they destroyed an '''Imaskari''' altar of reanimation, collapsing its undead horde. The treacherous '''Qara Sarn's''' head became tribute to '''Hoar''', securing both tribes and the paladin order as allies.

'''Galdren''' revealed his purpose: capturing the memories of '''Navarra''', an ally slain by '''Tharos''' who knew of a weapon in the '''Fell Tower''' in a desert of '''purple sands'''. At her grave, his ritual bound her memories into the '''Grand Sensory Stone'''. He charged the heroes to carry it into the '''Outer Planes''', find her spirit, and deliver it—with '''Ember''' and her broken blue-tinted mask as their guides.

Bearing orb and mask into the '''Astral Plane''' and out through the '''Turquoise Color Pool''', they crossed a reshaped '''Outlands''' and the orchards of '''Sheela Peryroyl'''. Within sight of '''Ribcage''' they freed '''Tessavyr''', a rilmani pinned to the roadside by infernal spikes, who named a favor owed and bid them call toward the '''Spire'''.

In the city, '''Glenn's''' cheerful shout of "Green!" spoke the key to a hidden portal, dropping the party into '''Minauros''', where '''The Moss Hag''' loosed a dire troll in revenge for her ruined schemes. They shattered it, plundered her lair of thirty-three '''soul coins''', and burned her shop on their return.

'''Xarannos''' now ruled Ribcage, '''Zelza''' having been eaten by '''Bel'''. '''Unit 137's''' hellfire freed three innocent souls from the hag's coins. Passing to '''Sigil''' through the stool at '''The Bleeding Horn''', '''Diedric''' was pulled aside to stand before '''Selûne''' as the kobolds of '''The Howling Island''' reached home at last, and was named '''Favored'''. '''Ember''' sent them beneath the Cage to find the spirit-seeker '''Vistra Runehall'''.

Her trail led through '''Vos'Ultok''' to the deva '''Galenthias''', who carried them to '''Lunia''', where the pit lord '''Sulphaxus''' rose from the holy waters mortal and redeemed. At the '''Pavilion of Courage''' they learned Vistra hunts the spectre of a carpenter who betrayed a rebel to save a family he lost anyway. Through '''Khorvas's Pool''' they swam into '''Karasuthra''', the eternal midnight of the '''Beastlands''', a day and a half behind her.

== (Known) Active Plot Threads ==
''Last updated: 2026-07-30''

=== Main Quest: Seeking Navarra ===
* '''The Rebel Wizard''': Galdren Murendar, a rebel Red Wizard, seeks to undermine Thay to reform it. To this end, he has tasked the party with finding Navarra, a deceased ally. He seeks to reunite her spirit with her captured memories so he can find a way into the Fell Tower, in the Plains of Purple Dust, which is rumored to house a powerful weapon.
* '''The Spirit Seeker''': The party is currently tracking Vistra, a Spirit Seeker, in order to find Navarra's spirit. She is in Karasuthra in the Beastlands.
* '''Andren's Ledger''': Vistra is currently tracking the spirit of Andren, a man who betrayed his friend Tovaal in a failed attempt to save his family. She is on a contract from the Mercykillers.

=== Side Quests ===
* '''Hunting the Slavers''': Imzel Ulmokina, the druid that freed the party from captivity, was last heard to have been following the rest of the slave wagons, tracking them to their destination.
* '''Lake Mulsantir''': The lake south of Lirensk still suffers from Red Wizards having introduced aberrations in a past skirmish with the Rashemi.
* '''The Phaulkon-bane''': The clone of Manshoon who had assailed Glenn's keep is known to be heading for Chult, using the funds he made to hire the priests of Ubtao to transfer his soul to another body before this one fails him.
* '''Walking the Paths''': The party has learned of many paths (at least six) that can be tread to ascend the hierarchy of Mount Celestia. They need make a pledge to a representative of a Power to start their journey and may be asked to make a sacrifice. Upon walking the path, they will gain +2 to a chosen attribute.
* '''Namers and Berks''': Party members may seek to further their standing with their preferred Sigil faction, which may grant special abilities and privileges.
* '''The Monolith of Stars''': Still safe, it invites academic and divination study.
* '''The Elfmound''': Drenn, the drow wizard spared at Phaulkon Manor, spoke of a Permanency spell and other Netherese magics he found at The Elfmound.

=== Party Member Paths ===
* '''The Planeswalker''': Octavius's planeswalker spark ignited and his fastbond to lands he visits continues to increase his power, collecting fragments of planes to revisit them more easily. He seeks to write a dissertation on the extinct Batrachi race, and has a Weave-Attuned Sextant ready to deliver to a Slaad in Sigil who is interested in its study, as he feels it may draw a connection between the Batrachi race and all Slaad.
* '''A Curse Turned Boon''': Glenn embraced his frog form as his curse was cured, gaining the ability to "wield it as a shield" as his father taught him. He idly joked that he should "start collecting curses".
* '''Favored of Selune''': Blessed by the Moon Goddess for his leading of the lost, Diedric has been named Favored. This connection may continue to grow.
* '''Touched by a Telthor''': Having served as a host for the Telthor of Stars, Lilia can now conjure its constellation around her. As she continues to study stars from other planes, she may grow to understand the strange ones in the night sky above the Monolith, as they do not match that of Faerun's. She has secured access to the Grove of Stars for her coven-sisters, who may relocate once Elowen reaches them with the news.
* '''The Caltrop's Covenant''': Unit 137 continues to show more Hellish influence, including the ability to summon Happy, a tortured lemure, and sporting a pentagram inscribed on his form. In exchange for his infernal immortality, Unit 137 has incurred a debt to the hells and will need to serve them for 666 days at some point in the future.
* '''The Piked Contract''': Smokescale battles with the philosophy of being indentured to a bunch of piking level-headed bloods. Do his chains even matter anymore? His speaking circle truth was "I really want to corrupt the owl, drag him down to my level".

=== Prior Party Members ===
* '''The Star of the Climbing Warrior''': Uchu Buredo, in company of Cedani, continues to seek a way to his home world of Tsunadehoshi. His lead is that a "Vine-Warrior" was spotted in The Velvet Harness by the pegasus Kai. (God the DM did a lot of worldbuilding for this shit.) He also seeks revenge on Vex'riath, the githyanki creche leader of Zar'kash's Forge, who also escaped and survived as that spelljammer ship was destroyed by Uchu's psionic awakening.
* '''Smoke on the Water''': Cedani, having received an urgent message from Soveliss, sought to rescue him from peril. He had been on the way to Evermeet to seek Tharos's true name and had asked of Cedani for a delivery of a scale from a white abishai before being captured by unknown assailants. Diedric (during a session he missed) assisted them, rescuing him from a Troll's cookpot by trading a useless bauble. Cedani and Uchu then proceeded to the Feywild, where her patron had called for a meeting of the seasons in response to her poetry shop being burned down by the summer eladrin Aula. Octavius had subsequently seen visions of Cedani and Uchu in Minauros, being surrounded by hags and the corpses of dead eladrin of various seasons. Uchu's eyes turned red.
* '''The Pursued and Pursuer''': Chai evades cultists pursuing her for her Changeling heritage. She accompanies Cove to the Sea of Fallen Stars, where she seeks to find the prison island that she escaped as a child.

=== Pending ===
* '''The High Diviner''': Tharos Orakul, deprived of the Monolith, continues to suffer from a wasting disease. In desperation, he has met with the Githyanki.
* '''The Foreseen Assault''' Octavius foresaw an attack on the monolith by Kissethkashaan, likely in the month of Flamerule (two months after Mirtul). The vision showed one faerzress crystal already shattered, two wychlaran triplets freezing and shattering, and the Monolith cracking with a yellow light emanating from the crack, hinting at something within. This was shared with Galdren, who said he'd warn the Rashemi, so they should be forewarned.
* '''Hilt's Reward''': In thanks for the party's aid in getting Xarannos to represent him in his accusation against Zelza, he told them that Fredd, a proprietor of The Shaved Coin in The Below, keeps a chest of rubies that they both gathered by using a portal to a mineral-rich pocket of the Elemental Plane of Earth. This portal lies below the fighting pits and the key is blood, so it's usually open. Hilt is also a senator of Ribcage now.
* '''A Wedding on the Wind''': The party will be invited to Ember and Zekir al-Suhail's wedding. They'll hear his voice in the wind. A greater boon was promised. This will be in two years during his coronation.
* '''The Writer''': Atrus, an author of Ages, seeks to write a linking book to a location that can cure any ailment, including Glenn's. This may take him until the month of Kythorn. He had granted the party a linking book labeled "Myst", which they could use to visit him. The tram code is half of the clocktower's set time.
* '''The Bewildered Horse''': Barnaby, the awakened horse, was not at the Velvet Harness the last two visits. Barnaby will return.
* '''The Nyaning Leonin''': Rescued from certain doom on Mirrodin, Shadespine has run off to the Rashemi Berserker Lodge to join them.
* '''The Coven and the Monolith''' Lilia's coven will soon make way for the Grove of Stars to study it and the Monolith. They owe Lilia for this opportunity, and for rescuing Elowen.
* '''The Swordmaster's Road''' Cyrus, Glenn's swordmaster, will likely have been teleported to the War Wizards of Cormyr by Galdren's teleportation circle. He'll make way to Glenn's old keep to see it restored.

=== Visions ===
* ''(Averted)'' '''The Diviner's Prize''': Tharos Orakul's eyes staring at Octavius as he touches the Monolith inside of a grand tower. This diversion shattered divination implements across Faerun.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Convergence of Seasons''': Cedani and three other eladrin — Summer, Spring, and Autumn — navigating a bog as dark shapes surround them.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Blue Fire Falls''': Blue fire crisscrossing the sky, lines burning as Faerûn screams.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Moon in His Arm''': Diedric wielding Selûne in his left arm.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Elder Shadow''': A colossal brain hovering over a city on the Sword Coast, many tendrils hanging down.
* ''(Unlikely Future)'' '''The Psion's Crown''': Uchu, resolute, placing a silver helmet with silver cables attached — as neon explosions appear behind him.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Skycleaver''': A colossal axe parting the clouds.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Crown of Daggers''': Unit 137 wearing a crown of daggers as a legion of devils cheer.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Melting Wings''': Devil wings melting in water.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Frog and the Falcon''': A frog riding a falcon over foggy green hills.
* ''(Happened — planeswalker spark ignition)'' '''The Fire Within''': A flame burning Octavius from within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Obelisk Laid Low''': The obelisk lying on its side in the sunlight.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Parting of Stars''': Lilia throwing her arms to the side, stars following her command and splitting the sky in twain.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Gauntlet of Golden Nails''': Diedric struggling to breathe as a hand bearing a strange gauntlet -- five rings, joined by golden chains, terminating in a golden nail on each finger -- lifted him up.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Marching Dead''': Undead shuffling in great masses, Thaymount erupting in the background.
* ''(Happened)'' '''Ten Seconds From Now''': An ogre crashing through the trees, charging at Octavius as he turns from facing the Monolith… ten seconds from now.
* ''(Future)'' '''Winter Comes to the Grove''': The Grove of Stars. Kissethkashaan, enraged, breathes a cone of cold in a sweeping pass. One of the faerzress crystals is already shattered. Two wychlaran triplets shatter to ice. The Monolith of Stars begins to crack under the cold — and a yellow light emanates from a large crack, implying something within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Red Rage''': Uchu and Cedani stand back-to-back in a bog beneath a dark fey sky as three hags approach from all sides. Dead eladrin of various seasons are scattered around them, sinking. Uchu looks to Cedani, who nods grimly. His glowing blue eyes and blue daggers turn red and he begins howling in a berserker rage.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Lich-Queen's Audience''': Hovering in the Astral Plane: a bald Red Wizard, Tharos Orakul, bowing and coughing blood as a colossal undead githyanki woman sits on a throne, examining her hand, projecting boredom while failing to conceal a glint in her eye. She notices Octavius before the vision fades.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Chorus of Stones''': B'ian Ch'k Ch'k kneels shirtless inside of a low wagon as dozens of sending stones begin vibrating all at once, voices whispering and shouting in various languages. He turns as he hears screaming outside.

=== B'ian Fact Facts ===
* In 1368 DR, B'ian Ch'k Ch'k hid ''inside'' a Candlekeep bookshelf during the doppelganger purge in the wake of the Bhaalspawn.
* In 1370 DR, B'ian Ch'k Ch'k was gifted a traveling wagon by the halfling nation of Luiren for his assistance in averting a flooding crisis. It was engineered by a halfling knight of Gond.

=== Consequences ===
* '''The Mirth of the Ironjaws''': With Hulmarra Ironjaw's death, and the burning of Ironjaw's Mirth, her surviving 11 sisters are likely to have heard of the events by now.
* '''The Charmed Guard:''' Thenn, the Thayan guard charmed during the escape from the Red Wizard wagons, was taken as prisoner by Imzel. He now lives as a servant to a woman in the Grove of Stars that is foreseen to be his wife. It's an awkward relationship.
* '''The Grand Concordance''': Aristeus, a mathematician culturally spending his last days in the Astral Plane, was aided by the party who recovered a variable for him from a memory entity. His allowed him to complete a masterwork that describes the Four Compulsions and the Veil. It seems of important scientific and philosophical importance.
* '''The Silver Skiff''': Vlaakith grows irked by the unanswered theft, three fireballed githyanki, a lost apprentice, the loss of Gaath's ambush team, with one of the apprentices banished and being specifically told to "Tell Vlaakith to leave us alone!". Octavius's vision of an ill Tharos Orakul groveling before her may be of greater import however.
* '''The Lost Githyanki''': Viran, apprentice of Kith'rak Gaath, was led astray by the Alley Reapers in his pursuit of the party and is likely imprisoned in the plane of Carceri.
* '''The Doomed Noble:''' The sickly noble on a balcony in Ribcage is probably super, super dead by now. He's been replaced by a younger noble, flanked by the same red and green cambion ladies.
* '''A Hag Remembers''': The Moss Hag's scheme to secure souls with Luciel foiled, she set a trap whilst Luciel fled the city.
* '''The Alley Reapers:''' They believe Cedani is an agent for a person named Boppel, the "high-up man". They were paying her a cut of their take in the Hive Ward. While she's no longer with the party, they will consider them associates.
* '''Yan-C-in-the-Bin''': Yan-C-Bin will not soon forget the defeat of his avatar at the hands of interlopers from the Prime Material Plane.
* '''The Djinn Prince''': Rescued from a sacrifial rite, the Prince gifted the party a Carpet of Flying and promised great gifts on his wedding day.
* '''The Kobold Pilgrimage''': Spared by Diedric, kobolds worshipping Yan-C-Bin fled back to their tempestuous homeworld, now guided by a familiar moon goddess.
* '''The Telthor of Stars''': Diviners clashed and Tharos was robbed of his fate of securing the Monolith of Stars via a route in the Underdark. The Telthor still lives within, watching over the Rashemi as their tribes unite to select a new Iron Lord. Grimsnarl, an awakened wolf, invited the party's voices in selecting the next Iron Lord as the lodges gather. His own pick: "a simpleton, but his dajemma is legendary -- he travels still with the child of Bhaal on the Sword Coast."
* '''The Drow Wizardress''': Murdered by Octavius, Aunrae Drezz'Lynur was freelancing while under the guise of serving Matron Zorratha. In reality, she was playing Tharos and the duergar against each other. Matron Zorratha wonders what came of the Monolith.
* '''The Unpaid Duergar''': Expecting a payment for pick-up and delivery of the Monolith of Stars, the duergar just found an empty battleground and their gold missing.
* '''The Breaking of Threxzadur''': Octavius willingly drank of a trapped tanar'ri's power, freeing it and then defeating it. It will be reborn in the Abyss.
* '''Eight-legged Freedom''': Freed from their bonds, the goblin's infant ice spiders traveled north, to the icy mountain from which their eggs were stolen.
* '''Vix's Crown''': Sneaking through a sprawling goblin country, the party helped Vix the white kobold steal a Tuigan Helm of Command from the goblin leader.
* '''The Surviving Crossbowman''': Erik the eye-patched crossbowman was rescued from freezing to death by the party. He has foresworn adventuring and claims to be retiring.
* '''The Blood Sorceress''': Qualm and the rest of the dragon slaying party perished in Kissethkashaan's lair. The party happily looted them.
* '''The Rescued Coven-sister''': Elowen Stonereach, an offering of blood to the white dragon by the Nanraak Goblins, was rescued and whisked away. She makes way to the Dalelands to meet with her coven, who will likely travel to The Monolith of Stars to study it.
* '''The White Wyrm's Due''': Angered by the previous dragonslaying party's attempt on his life and another party escaping with his tribute, Kissethkashaan plots his revenge, remembering that one of the members of the first group was of Rashemi descent.
* '''The Piked Halfling''': Finn Fatfoot was charmed into giving up his dreamsilk and giving up Zhentarim secrets. He is on the run from authorities.
* '''The Cleansing of Hullack Forest''': A mindflayer cell, which had fled something in the Underdark, was eliminated by the party. Glenn (with the help of Shrieker) also drove the Zhentarim from his family's keep and had his curse removed. Drenn, the drow wizard in charge of this Zhentarim compound, gave the party information as to Manshoon's plans in Chuult in exchange for his life.
* '''Shrieker''': Glenn's father's Ranger General of his armies continues to patrol the region around Thunderstone, bringing justice to those that the Purple Dragon Knights cannot. Her shrieks in the night bring comfort to children and woe to brigrands. A Tuigan woman mentioned seeing her on the battlefield when Cormyr fought in an alliance against the Tuigan horde, referring to her as Glenn's father's "paramour" who saved him from an ambush. She can be summoned by lighting two pyres on the northern towers near the bridge to Hullack Forest.
* '''The Silver Blade''': Kith'rak Gaath had his entire githyanki strike force ambushed the party but were defeated. Gaath retreated, but had to leave his sword behind.
* '''Blessed Grains''': Lilia blessed the fields of the Tuigan people in an extended ritual, ensuring a bountiful harvest.
* '''The Imaskari Altar''': The party fought through sahuagin priests and destroyed an ancient Imaskari Altar that could animate undead thanks to a link to the Plane of Negative Energy.
* '''Peace on the Endless Wastes''': Peace was brokered between the Fankiang Traditionalists and Hubadai Loyalists, with the Fankiang receiving a seven year deal where they would patrol and tax the Golden Way. The Fankiang agreed to assist with Thay, and the Hubadai representative said he would bring it before their leader in Kourmira.
* '''The Justice of Hoar''': The head of Qara Sarn, a Fankiang member who attempted to leave Khan Borcha to her death, was served to Hoar as recompense for the slaying of one of his paladins. He accepted with three thunderstrikes, and Lureene Amblecrown assured that they had secured the Hoar Order's aid against Thay.
* '''Ribcage, Under New Management''': Uncovering Zelza's scheme to plunge Ribcage into the Nine Hells, Xarannos was installed as interim Duke of Ribcage. Zelza was consumed by Bel.
* '''The Third Hell's Door''': A portal to the third layer of the Nine Hells is now publicly known and guarded in the Beetle Bazaar. It's near a woman's burned-down shop. Don't say your favorite color.
* '''A Hag Still Remembers''': The Moss Hag swam through the mire of Minauros, fleeing as the party survived her trap, stole her soul coins, and even freed her Catoblepas. She may yet seek revenge or move on to safer prey.
* '''Tessavyr's Debt''': A rilmani, pinned to the earth by infernal spikes placed by a circle of succubi working for Zelza, thanked the party for its freedom, stating that they just need call its name toward the Spire should they ever need aid.

=== Curiosities ===
* '''The Unpowered Golem''': This still sits abandoned in the flooded depths of the Imaskari Tomb. The party also looted an Anti-Divinity Orb from the same location.
* '''The Unnamed Scholar''': The party looted the body of a female ghoul scholar with a bronze circlet, stuffing her into their Bag of Holding for later Speak-with-Dead questioning. They then proceeded to forget about it.
* '''The Bronze Rib''': A Bronze Rib in Minauros proves to be a foil to teleportation magic, although it did not look easy to move.
* '''Aunrae's Spellbook''': Aside from the Teleportation Circle spell, the dead drow's spellbook also had a loose sheet of sigils for all ten Undrek'Thoz drow-city states and the duergar city of Fraaszummdin.
* '''The Ring''': Galdren asked Diedric if Azhar, Diedric's adopted father and financier of his estate, still bore a ring with gemstones, and how many there were. Diedric confirmed there were two rubies with one inset blank. Galdren looked relieved.
* '''The Time-Skip Doppelganger''': Investigating a darkness at the heart of Thay, Galden and Navarra traced it to a doppelganger impersonating an Aglarond noble, and mid-interrogation they experienced a skip in time (candles instantly burned low) and the doppelganger was disintegrated to ash.
* '''The Interventionist Deva''': Zariel seemed like the crankiest out of the bunch at the Pavilion of Courage.

== The Story So Far ==

<p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 24px; font-weight: bold; color: #2a1f15; text-align: center; margin-bottom: 20px; border-bottom: 2px solid #2a1f15; padding-bottom: 10px;">Chapter 1: Memory</p>
A group of diverse adventurers, each on their own path, found themselves at '''Ironjaw's Mirth''' on the Thay-Rashemen border. Their chance meeting was interrupted by the '''Red Wizards of Thay''', led by Vezim Sepret, who '''captured everyone''' in retaliation for losses at the Grove of Stars.

Now mired in the conflict between Thay and Rashemen and en route to a slave camp, '''the party escaped''' with aid from '''Imzel Ulmokina''', a Wychlaran druid. A letter on Vezim revealed orders from '''Tharos Orakul, High Diviner of Surthay''', to slay '''"the owl"''' and capture '''"the amphibian"''' for study.

Imzel directed them to Lirensk to meet '''Galdren Murendar''', an ally against the Red Wizards. After a perilous journey across Lake Mulsantir, where they battled quippergulls and a Gelatinous Cube, they met Galdren, '''a rebel Red Wizard''' working to reform Thay. '''He tasked them with acquiring a Grand Sensory Stone from Sigil''', the City of Doors, casting their souls into the Astral Plane.

In the '''Astral Plane''', they helped a '''mathematician''' retrieve a variable stolen by a benign memory entity. Then, they escaped '''githyanki''' pursuers through a color pool to '''The Outlands''' -- after stealing their silver. Guided by a kind bariaur's words, they journeyed towards Sigil, encountering various planar entities (including water-sharing petitioners, imps, and a '''Rogue Modron''') and ultimately reached '''Ribcage''', the gate-town to the Nine Hells.

In Ribcage, they engaged in various intrigues: upgrading a Rogue Modron with infernal silver, binding an '''imp''' into servitude with the help of a '''slaad advocate''', aiding a falsely accused man, uncovering a '''cambion's''' scheme with a '''hag''', and participating in a Blood War skirmish. They finally found passage to '''Sigil''' beneath a bar stool.

In Sigil, they discovered '''Cedani's grandmother's''' ruined poetry shop and defeated the '''Summer Eladrin''' responsible. After recovering from near-death, they met with faction representatives and negotiated with '''Niara''', a Sensate Factotum, for a '''Grand Sensory Stone in exchange for locating Ember'''.

Their search brought them to The Velvet Harness inn, where a '''pegasus''' and '''deva''' led them to a vortex to the '''Elemental Plane of Air'''. There, they survived a harrowing fall with '''Ember''''s help, learning to navigate a realm where direction is a matter of perception. They landed in the courtyard of the '''Palace of the Winds''', a majestic djinn stronghold.

There, they agreed to help rescue a '''trapped djinn''' from the clutches of '''kobolds''', defeating the '''Avatar of Yan-C-Bin'''.

Victorious, they returned to Sigil, and acquired the '''Grand Sensory Stone''' at last. Joining factions and receiving pay from '''The Alley Reapers''', they returned to their bodies in '''The Rebel Estate'''.

Grateful, Galdren rewarded them with '''vast sums of jink''', a Weave-attuned sextant, and explained that he planned to use the stone to '''capture the memories of a deceased person''' who has information invaluable to their cause.

He bid the heroes rest, for now.

<div style="width: 700px; margin: 20px auto; padding: 30px; background: linear-gradient(to bottom right, #f0e6d2, #d3c7a6); border-radius: 10px; box-shadow: 0 0 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.1); font-style: italic; color: #4a3f35; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.8; text-align: justify; font-size: 18px;">

Returning from their astral journey with the '''Grand Sensory Stone''', the party awoke at '''The Rebel Estate''' to visions of '''Tharos Orakul''' warning '''Octavius''' away from Thay. '''Cedani''' departed for the Feywild, while '''Lilia Corydalis''', a starry witch seeking her missing coven sister, joined the group.

Sent to '''Urlingwood''' to cure '''Glenn's''' curse, the '''Wychlaran''' declared the barbs needed to be removed where they were cast. At the '''Monolith of Stars''', visions of fractured futures preceded a goblinoid assault. In the chaos, '''Octavius's''' latent '''planeswalker spark''' ignited, pulling them through the '''Blind Eternities''' to '''Mirrodin''' before willing them home.

Pursuing the stolen Monolith into the '''Underdark''', they uncovered drow treachery, slew the ogre assassin '''Vaergath''', and returned the relic to '''Urlingwood'''—shattering divination tools across the continent. In the '''High Country''', they freed and destroyed the demon '''Threxzadur''', then rescued '''Elowen Stonereach''' from the maw of '''Kissethkashaan''', the White Wyrm, escaping through another desperate planeswalk.

In '''Cormyr''', they infiltrated '''Phaulkon Manor''', battled '''illithid''' in '''Hullack Forest''', and finally broke '''Glenn's''' curse where '''Manshoon''' had cast it. '''Glenn''' emerged transformed, embracing both his nobility and his frog nature. '''Githyanki''' seekers arrived and were driven off; '''Kith'rak Gaath''' fled without his silver blade.

Flying east to the '''Endless Wastes''', they joined a paladin's quest for vengeance among warring '''Tuigan''' tribes. Beneath the '''Lake of Mists''', they destroyed an '''Imaskari''' altar of reanimation, collapsing its undead horde. The treacherous '''Qara Sarn's''' head became tribute to '''Hoar''', securing both tribes and the paladin order as allies.

'''Galdren''' revealed his purpose: capturing the memories of '''Navarra''', an ally slain by '''Tharos''' who knew of a weapon in the '''Fell Tower''' in a desert of '''purple sands'''. At her grave, his ritual bound her memories into the '''Grand Sensory Stone'''. He charged the heroes to carry it into the '''Outer Planes''', find her spirit, and deliver it—with '''Ember''' and her broken blue-tinted mask as their guides.

Bearing orb and mask into the '''Astral Plane''' and out through the '''Turquoise Color Pool''', they crossed a reshaped '''Outlands''' and the orchards of '''Sheela Peryroyl'''. Within sight of '''Ribcage''' they freed '''Tessavyr''', a rilmani pinned to the roadside by infernal spikes, who named a favor owed and bid them call toward the '''Spire'''.

In the city, '''Glenn's''' cheerful shout of "Green!" spoke the key to a hidden portal, dropping the party into '''Minauros''', where '''The Moss Hag''' loosed a dire troll in revenge for her ruined schemes. They shattered it, plundered her lair of thirty-three '''soul coins''', and burned her shop on their return.

'''Xarannos''' now ruled Ribcage, '''Zelza''' having been eaten by '''Bel'''. '''Unit 137's''' hellfire freed three innocent souls from the hag's coins. Passing to '''Sigil''' through the stool at '''The Bleeding Horn''', '''Diedric''' was pulled aside to stand before '''Selûne''' as the kobolds of '''The Howling Island''' reached home at last, and was named '''Favored'''. '''Ember''' sent them beneath the Cage to find the spirit-seeker '''Vistra Runehall'''.

Her trail led through '''Vos'Ultok''' to the deva '''Galenthias''', who carried them to '''Lunia''', where the pit lord '''Sulphaxus''' rose from the holy waters mortal and redeemed. At the '''Pavilion of Courage''' they learned Vistra hunts the spectre of a carpenter who betrayed a rebel to save a family he lost anyway. Through '''Khorvas's Pool''' they swam into '''Karasuthra''', the eternal midnight of the '''Beastlands''', a day and a half behind her.

Session 36: Closing the Ledger

[[File:Overplanning.png|thumb|600px|Overplanning]]
== Summary ==
[[File:Vistra and her Quarry.png|thumb|600px|Vistra and her Quarry]]
[[File:Forgiveness.png|thumb|600px|A headdress borrowed]]
[[File:Vistra and the Mask.png|thumb|600px|Vistra and the Mask]]

Two frogs agreed on no trouble -- and the party's wariness avoided the Flail Snail. Ignoring the second journal for now, they obliterated an Otyugh mid-meal, then followed the smell of coriander to a chameleoned dwarven woman stalking a cornered wolf and spectre.

Realizing the spectre was trying to communicate with the wolf, the party lent him their headdress of comprehend languages. Accepting the spectre's explanation for its past misdeeds, the spectre faded away peacefully.

The wolf promised kinship with the party and all wolves. Vistra thanked the party, and they hired her to find Navarra's spirit -- Arborea, on the edge of Aquallor's oceans and Mithardir's white sands. The session ended as the party plotted their next move.

== XP Award ==
* 725 XP for slapping the Otyugh around
* 1900 XP for putting Andren's soul to rest
* '''Total: 2625 XP'''
* '''Current XP: 74177 XP -> 76802 XP'''
* ''(Required for next level: 85000 XP)''

== Things That Happened ==

=== No Trouble ===
* '''Date:''' 4th of Mirtur, evening, 1372 DR
* Glenn strutted up to the Giant Toad, who sat in a toad loaf.
* "No trouble. We good?"
* Glenn agreed, and the rest of the party followed.
* The toad recommended the party avoid the caverns below the temple, as they held malice.

=== A Scurrying Mouse ===
* Octavius sent forth his mouse Alaundo to scout this level. He spotted the Flail Snail, curled on the floor, and a mirrored bedroom, more feral than its counterpart on the life side of the temple.
** He also spotted a journal in some sleeping hides and, despite his best effort, could not drag it over.
* The party scouted a larder with rotted grain and other sundries, crates being unceremoniously opened by a slightly confused dragonslaying sword.
* The party also scouted a butcher's room, filled with bones, but no bone spoon.
* The party deliberated for quite some time on the best approach, including shapechanging, invisiblity spells, passing without trace, and so on.
* The toad hopped upstairs for its own safety.
* Lilia identified that the snail could likely sense tremors on the ground, so the party opted to proceed to the third level without scouting.

=== Karasuthra's Below ===
* On the third level, there were more signs of age and collapse, with increased warnings to the creatures below to stay out of the druid's domain.
* Diedric led with his nose, following the smell of coriander.
* Lilia picked up the sounds of a large beast eating down a hall.
* Glenn turned a corner to greet the Otyugh, who dropped the two halves of a brown bear it was eating. It then responded by projecting images of how he was going to consume Glenn's entrails.
* '''Encounter''': The Feaster
* Highlights:
** Glenn, Hasted, grappling and slamming the Otyugh to the ground.
** The Otyugh failing to stand as it was pummeled by Moonbeams and holy radiance from a celestial Unit 137.
** The Otyugh being ripped apart by six Magic Missiles, Toll the Dead, and Glenn jumping up into the ceiling, crushing its neck and spine.
* As the group continued their descent, the air felt icy to all but Diedric, who now bore Octavius's ring.
* The party then encountered a badger tunnel, then reasoned there was another way around to the same location that didn't require crouching.

=== The Golden Chains ===
* The continued to a dead-end, sealed off by a druidic gate.
* There they bore witness to a Wraith, reaching out to a cornered wolf, cowering and whimpering.
* Blending into her environment like a chameleon, a dwarven woman holding a scroll watched, motioning for silence.
* She then stood, reading from a scroll in Celestial, conjuring golden chains to bind the spectre to her.
* She read a list of crimes, including betrayal and murder, stating that he would be sentenced to 40 years of torment and then a final release.
* Diedric and other party members noticed that the spectre was reaching out non-aggressively, trying to communicate with the wolf.
* They explained the backstory of Tovaal and Andren to Vistra ("How do you know of the spoon"?), and she agreed to let them speak, as the victim has the right to close the Red Death's ledger against the spectre.
* Diedric successfully got the spectre to shimmy to specific directions to communicate yes or no.
* Fighting Octavius's disinterest, they ultimately borrowed his Headdress of Comprehend Languages and placed it on the wolf's head.
* He craned his head curiously as the spectre spoke to him in howls.
* "I would have done anything to protect my pups."
* With those words, the spectre sighed in relief and faded away.

=== Vision of Navarra ===
* The wolf bounded away, telling the party he would speak well of them to the Wolf Lord, and that they and the next few generations of their offspring would be packmates to all wolves.
* Satisfied, Vistra thanked the party, explaining it took many days for her to make it into the temple safely.
* The party requested her services to locate Navarra. She agreed for 100 gold pieces.
* She took her broken wychlaran mask, her eyes turned white, then she intoned in a voice that was not her own: "On the edge of Poisedon's domain, an eternal ocean becomes a cliff's edge to white sands. Her isle swims in bluebells and nets hold her prizes."
** She politely translated that Navarra had not yet merged with her plane, and that she was on Arborea, right on the edge of two layers: Aquallor and Mithardir's edge.
** Not being sure if they were primes, she also provided other names for the plane:
Olympus and Arvandor.
* The party deduced that with her mask and this image described, they may have a good shot of planeswalking directly to her.
* When asked, Vistra explained that if the party ever need reach her again, they should visit the Mercykiller's headquarters in Sigil -- and that she's the best of their spirit seekers.
* Vistra confirmed she had not seen an artifact similar to the sinuous half-circle the party bore.
* The session came to an end as the party plotted their next move.

== NPCs Encountered (or mentioned) ==
* [[Tovaal]], the Forgiving Wolf
* [[Andren]], Vistra's Quarry
* [[Vistra Runehall]], the Spirit Seeker

== Memes ==
* Bone spoon has had some staying power.

== DM Thoughts ==
* DM: "So Octavius takes the headdress off his stupid owl head--"
* Nick: [processes what he just heard] "OK BRIAN. I FIREBALL. I FIREBALL THE WOLF, I FIREBALL THE SPECTRE, I FIREBALL THE DWARF. FUCK THIS CAMPAIGN. I'M JUST TRYING TO PLAY MY-"
* Let's avoid insulting the owlin's beautiful visage.
* Unrelated, but Octavius's fear of anything that could drain STR is of great interest.

* The wolf bounded away, telling the party he would speak well of them to the Wolf Lord, and that they and the next few generations of their offspring would be packmates to all wolves.
* Satisfied, Vistra thanked the party, explaining it took many days for her to make it into the temple safely.
* The party requested her services to locate Navarra. She agreed for 100 gold pieces.
* She took her broken wychlaran mask, her eyes turned white, then she intoned in a voice that was not her own: "On the edge of Poisedon's domain, an eternal ocean becomes a cliff's edge to white sands. Her isle swims in bluebells and nets hold her prizes."
** She politely translated that Navarra had not yet merged with her plane, and that she was on Arborea, right on the edge of two layers: Aquallor and Mithardir's edge.
** Not being sure if they were primes, she also provided other names for the plane:
Olympus and Arvandor.
* The party deduced that with her mask and this image described, they may have a good shot of planeswalking directly to her.
* When asked, Vistra explained that if the party ever need reach her again, they should visit the Mercykiller's headquarters in Sigil -- and that she's the best of their spirit seekers.
* Vistra confirmed she had not seen an artifact similar to the sinuous half-circle the party bore.
* The session came to an end as the party plotted their next move.

== (Known) Active Plot Threads ==
''Last updated: 2026-07-30''

=== Main Quest: Seeking Navarra ===
* '''The Rebel Wizard''': Galdren Murendar, a rebel Red Wizard, seeks to undermine Thay to reform it. To this end, he has tasked the party with finding Navarra, a deceased ally. He seeks to reunite her spirit with her captured memories so he can find a way into the Fell Tower, in the Plains of Purple Dust, which is rumored to house a powerful weapon.
* '''The Spirit Seeker''': The party is currently tracking Vistra, a Spirit Seeker, in order to find Navarra's spirit. She is in Karasuthra in the Beastlands.
* '''Andren's Ledger''': Vistra is currently tracking the spirit of Andren, a man who betrayed his friend Tovaal in a failed attempt to save his family. She is on a contract from the Mercykillers.

=== Side Quests ===
* '''Hunting the Slavers''': Imzel Ulmokina, the druid that freed the party from captivity, was last heard to have been following the rest of the slave wagons, tracking them to their destination.
* '''Lake Mulsantir''': The lake south of Lirensk still suffers from Red Wizards having introduced aberrations in a past skirmish with the Rashemi.
* '''The Phaulkon-bane''': The clone of Manshoon who had assailed Glenn's keep is known to be heading for Chult, using the funds he made to hire the priests of Ubtao to transfer his soul to another body before this one fails him.
* '''Walking the Paths''': The party has learned of many paths (at least six) that can be tread to ascend the hierarchy of Mount Celestia. They need make a pledge to a representative of a Power to start their journey and may be asked to make a sacrifice. Upon walking the path, they will gain +2 to a chosen attribute.
* '''Namers and Berks''': Party members may seek to further their standing with their preferred Sigil faction, which may grant special abilities and privileges.
* '''The Monolith of Stars''': Still safe, it invites academic and divination study.
* '''The Elfmound''': Drenn, the drow wizard spared at Phaulkon Manor, spoke of a Permanency spell and other Netherese magics he found at The Elfmound.

=== Party Member Paths ===
* '''The Planeswalker''': Octavius's planeswalker spark ignited and his fastbond to lands he visits continues to increase his power, collecting fragments of planes to revisit them more easily. He seeks to write a dissertation on the extinct Batrachi race, and has a Weave-Attuned Sextant ready to deliver to a Slaad in Sigil who is interested in its study, as he feels it may draw a connection between the Batrachi race and all Slaad.
* '''A Curse Turned Boon''': Glenn embraced his frog form as his curse was cured, gaining the ability to "wield it as a shield" as his father taught him. He idly joked that he should "start collecting curses".
* '''Favored of Selune''': Blessed by the Moon Goddess for his leading of the lost, Diedric has been named Favored. This connection may continue to grow.
* '''Touched by a Telthor''': Having served as a host for the Telthor of Stars, Lilia can now conjure its constellation around her. As she continues to study stars from other planes, she may grow to understand the strange ones in the night sky above the Monolith, as they do not match that of Faerun's. She has secured access to the Grove of Stars for her coven-sisters, who may relocate once Elowen reaches them with the news.
* '''The Caltrop's Covenant''': Unit 137 continues to show more Hellish influence, including the ability to summon Happy, a tortured lemure, and sporting a pentagram inscribed on his form. In exchange for his infernal immortality, Unit 137 has incurred a debt to the hells and will need to serve them for 666 days at some point in the future.
* '''The Piked Contract''': Smokescale battles with the philosophy of being indentured to a bunch of piking level-headed bloods. Do his chains even matter anymore? His speaking circle truth was "I really want to corrupt the owl, drag him down to my level".

=== Prior Party Members ===
* '''The Star of the Climbing Warrior''': Uchu Buredo, in company of Cedani, continues to seek a way to his home world of Tsunadehoshi. His lead is that a "Vine-Warrior" was spotted in The Velvet Harness by the pegasus Kai. (God the DM did a lot of worldbuilding for this shit.) He also seeks revenge on Vex'riath, the githyanki creche leader of Zar'kash's Forge, who also escaped and survived as that spelljammer ship was destroyed by Uchu's psionic awakening.
* '''Smoke on the Water''': Cedani, having received an urgent message from Soveliss, sought to rescue him from peril. He had been on the way to Evermeet to seek Tharos's true name and had asked of Cedani for a delivery of a scale from a white abishai before being captured by unknown assailants. Diedric (during a session he missed) assisted them, rescuing him from a Troll's cookpot by trading a useless bauble. Cedani and Uchu then proceeded to the Feywild, where her patron had called for a meeting of the seasons in response to her poetry shop being burned down by the summer eladrin Aula. Octavius had subsequently seen visions of Cedani and Uchu in Minauros, being surrounded by hags and the corpses of dead eladrin of various seasons. Uchu's eyes turned red.
* '''The Pursued and Pursuer''': Chai evades cultists pursuing her for her Changeling heritage. She accompanies Cove to the Sea of Fallen Stars, where she seeks to find the prison island that she escaped as a child.

=== Pending ===
* '''The High Diviner''': Tharos Orakul, deprived of the Monolith, continues to suffer from a wasting disease. In desperation, he has met with the Githyanki.
* '''The Foreseen Assault''' Octavius foresaw an attack on the monolith by Kissethkashaan, likely in the month of Flamerule (two months after Mirtul). The vision showed one faerzress crystal already shattered, two wychlaran triplets freezing and shattering, and the Monolith cracking with a yellow light emanating from the crack, hinting at something within. This was shared with Galdren, who said he'd warn the Rashemi, so they should be forewarned.
* '''Hilt's Reward''': In thanks for the party's aid in getting Xarannos to represent him in his accusation against Zelza, he told them that Fredd, a proprietor of The Shaved Coin in The Below, keeps a chest of rubies that they both gathered by using a portal to a mineral-rich pocket of the Elemental Plane of Earth. This portal lies below the fighting pits and the key is blood, so it's usually open. Hilt is also a senator of Ribcage now.
* '''A Wedding on the Wind''': The party will be invited to Ember and Zekir al-Suhail's wedding. They'll hear his voice in the wind. A greater boon was promised. This will be in two years during his coronation.
* '''The Writer''': Atrus, an author of Ages, seeks to write a linking book to a location that can cure any ailment, including Glenn's. This may take him until the month of Kythorn. He had granted the party a linking book labeled "Myst", which they could use to visit him. The tram code is half of the clocktower's set time.
* '''The Bewildered Horse''': Barnaby, the awakened horse, was not at the Velvet Harness the last two visits. Barnaby will return.
* '''The Nyaning Leonin''': Rescued from certain doom on Mirrodin, Shadespine has run off to the Rashemi Berserker Lodge to join them.
* '''The Coven and the Monolith''' Lilia's coven will soon make way for the Grove of Stars to study it and the Monolith. They owe Lilia for this opportunity, and for rescuing Elowen.
* '''The Swordmaster's Road''' Cyrus, Glenn's swordmaster, will likely have been teleported to the War Wizards of Cormyr by Galdren's teleportation circle. He'll make way to Glenn's old keep to see it restored.

=== Visions ===
* ''(Averted)'' '''The Diviner's Prize''': Tharos Orakul's eyes staring at Octavius as he touches the Monolith inside of a grand tower. This diversion shattered divination implements across Faerun.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Convergence of Seasons''': Cedani and three other eladrin — Summer, Spring, and Autumn — navigating a bog as dark shapes surround them.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Blue Fire Falls''': Blue fire crisscrossing the sky, lines burning as Faerûn screams.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Moon in His Arm''': Diedric wielding Selûne in his left arm.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Elder Shadow''': A colossal brain hovering over a city on the Sword Coast, many tendrils hanging down.
* ''(Unlikely Future)'' '''The Psion's Crown''': Uchu, resolute, placing a silver helmet with silver cables attached — as neon explosions appear behind him.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Skycleaver''': A colossal axe parting the clouds.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Crown of Daggers''': Unit 137 wearing a crown of daggers as a legion of devils cheer.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Melting Wings''': Devil wings melting in water.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Frog and the Falcon''': A frog riding a falcon over foggy green hills.
* ''(Happened — planeswalker spark ignition)'' '''The Fire Within''': A flame burning Octavius from within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Obelisk Laid Low''': The obelisk lying on its side in the sunlight.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Parting of Stars''': Lilia throwing her arms to the side, stars following her command and splitting the sky in twain.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Gauntlet of Golden Nails''': Diedric struggling to breathe as a hand bearing a strange gauntlet -- five rings, joined by golden chains, terminating in a golden nail on each finger -- lifted him up.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Marching Dead''': Undead shuffling in great masses, Thaymount erupting in the background.
* ''(Happened)'' '''Ten Seconds From Now''': An ogre crashing through the trees, charging at Octavius as he turns from facing the Monolith… ten seconds from now.
* ''(Future)'' '''Winter Comes to the Grove''': The Grove of Stars. Kissethkashaan, enraged, breathes a cone of cold in a sweeping pass. One of the faerzress crystals is already shattered. Two wychlaran triplets shatter to ice. The Monolith of Stars begins to crack under the cold — and a yellow light emanates from a large crack, implying something within.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Red Rage''': Uchu and Cedani stand back-to-back in a bog beneath a dark fey sky as three hags approach from all sides. Dead eladrin of various seasons are scattered around them, sinking. Uchu looks to Cedani, who nods grimly. His glowing blue eyes and blue daggers turn red and he begins howling in a berserker rage.
* ''(Happened)'' '''The Lich-Queen's Audience''': Hovering in the Astral Plane: a bald Red Wizard, Tharos Orakul, bowing and coughing blood as a colossal undead githyanki woman sits on a throne, examining her hand, projecting boredom while failing to conceal a glint in her eye. She notices Octavius before the vision fades.
* ''(Future)'' '''The Chorus of Stones''': B'ian Ch'k Ch'k kneels shirtless inside of a low wagon as dozens of sending stones begin vibrating all at once, voices whispering and shouting in various languages. He turns as he hears screaming outside.

=== B'ian Fact Facts ===
* In 1368 DR, B'ian Ch'k Ch'k hid ''inside'' a Candlekeep bookshelf during the doppelganger purge in the wake of the Bhaalspawn.
* In 1370 DR, B'ian Ch'k Ch'k was gifted a traveling wagon by the halfling nation of Luiren for his assistance in averting a flooding crisis. It was engineered by a halfling knight of Gond.

=== Consequences ===
* '''The Mirth of the Ironjaws''': With Hulmarra Ironjaw's death, and the burning of Ironjaw's Mirth, her surviving 11 sisters are likely to have heard of the events by now.
* '''The Charmed Guard:''' Thenn, the Thayan guard charmed during the escape from the Red Wizard wagons, was taken as prisoner by Imzel. He now lives as a servant to a woman in the Grove of Stars that is foreseen to be his wife. It's an awkward relationship.
* '''The Grand Concordance''': Aristeus, a mathematician culturally spending his last days in the Astral Plane, was aided by the party who recovered a variable for him from a memory entity. His allowed him to complete a masterwork that describes the Four Compulsions and the Veil. It seems of important scientific and philosophical importance.
* '''The Silver Skiff''': Vlaakith grows irked by the unanswered theft, three fireballed githyanki, a lost apprentice, the loss of Gaath's ambush team, with one of the apprentices banished and being specifically told to "Tell Vlaakith to leave us alone!". Octavius's vision of an ill Tharos Orakul groveling before her may be of greater import however.
* '''The Lost Githyanki''': Viran, apprentice of Kith'rak Gaath, was led astray by the Alley Reapers in his pursuit of the party and is likely imprisoned in the plane of Carceri.
* '''The Doomed Noble:''' The sickly noble on a balcony in Ribcage is probably super, super dead by now. He's been replaced by a younger noble, flanked by the same red and green cambion ladies.
* '''A Hag Remembers''': The Moss Hag's scheme to secure souls with Luciel foiled, she set a trap whilst Luciel fled the city.
* '''The Alley Reapers:''' They believe Cedani is an agent for a person named Boppel, the "high-up man". They were paying her a cut of their take in the Hive Ward. While she's no longer with the party, they will consider them associates.
* '''Yan-C-in-the-Bin''': Yan-C-Bin will not soon forget the defeat of his avatar at the hands of interlopers from the Prime Material Plane.
* '''The Djinn Prince''': Rescued from a sacrifial rite, the Prince gifted the party a Carpet of Flying and promised great gifts on his wedding day.
* '''The Kobold Pilgrimage''': Spared by Diedric, kobolds worshipping Yan-C-Bin fled back to their tempestuous homeworld, now guided by a familiar moon goddess.
* '''The Telthor of Stars''': Diviners clashed and Tharos was robbed of his fate of securing the Monolith of Stars via a route in the Underdark. The Telthor still lives within, watching over the Rashemi as their tribes unite to select a new Iron Lord. Grimsnarl, an awakened wolf, invited the party's voices in selecting the next Iron Lord as the lodges gather. His own pick: "a simpleton, but his dajemma is legendary -- he travels still with the child of Bhaal on the Sword Coast."
* '''The Drow Wizardress''': Murdered by Octavius, Aunrae Drezz'Lynur was freelancing while under the guise of serving Matron Zorratha. In reality, she was playing Tharos and the duergar against each other. Matron Zorratha wonders what came of the Monolith.
* '''The Unpaid Duergar''': Expecting a payment for pick-up and delivery of the Monolith of Stars, the duergar just found an empty battleground and their gold missing.
* '''The Breaking of Threxzadur''': Octavius willingly drank of a trapped tanar'ri's power, freeing it and then defeating it. It will be reborn in the Abyss.
* '''Eight-legged Freedom''': Freed from their bonds, the goblin's infant ice spiders traveled north, to the icy mountain from which their eggs were stolen.
* '''Vix's Crown''': Sneaking through a sprawling goblin country, the party helped Vix the white kobold steal a Tuigan Helm of Command from the goblin leader.
* '''The Surviving Crossbowman''': Erik the eye-patched crossbowman was rescued from freezing to death by the party. He has foresworn adventuring and claims to be retiring.
* '''The Blood Sorceress''': Qualm and the rest of the dragon slaying party perished in Kissethkashaan's lair. The party happily looted them.
* '''The Rescued Coven-sister''': Elowen Stonereach, an offering of blood to the white dragon by the Nanraak Goblins, was rescued and whisked away. She makes way to the Dalelands to meet with her coven, who will likely travel to The Monolith of Stars to study it.
* '''The White Wyrm's Due''': Angered by the previous dragonslaying party's attempt on his life and another party escaping with his tribute, Kissethkashaan plots his revenge, remembering that one of the members of the first group was of Rashemi descent.
* '''The Piked Halfling''': Finn Fatfoot was charmed into giving up his dreamsilk and giving up Zhentarim secrets. He is on the run from authorities.
* '''The Cleansing of Hullack Forest''': A mindflayer cell, which had fled something in the Underdark, was eliminated by the party. Glenn (with the help of Shrieker) also drove the Zhentarim from his family's keep and had his curse removed. Drenn, the drow wizard in charge of this Zhentarim compound, gave the party information as to Manshoon's plans in Chuult in exchange for his life.
* '''Shrieker''': Glenn's father's Ranger General of his armies continues to patrol the region around Thunderstone, bringing justice to those that the Purple Dragon Knights cannot. Her shrieks in the night bring comfort to children and woe to brigrands. A Tuigan woman mentioned seeing her on the battlefield when Cormyr fought in an alliance against the Tuigan horde, referring to her as Glenn's father's "paramour" who saved him from an ambush. She can be summoned by lighting two pyres on the northern towers near the bridge to Hullack Forest.
* '''The Silver Blade''': Kith'rak Gaath had his entire githyanki strike force ambushed the party but were defeated. Gaath retreated, but had to leave his sword behind.
* '''Blessed Grains''': Lilia blessed the fields of the Tuigan people in an extended ritual, ensuring a bountiful harvest.
* '''The Imaskari Altar''': The party fought through sahuagin priests and destroyed an ancient Imaskari Altar that could animate undead thanks to a link to the Plane of Negative Energy.
* '''Peace on the Endless Wastes''': Peace was brokered between the Fankiang Traditionalists and Hubadai Loyalists, with the Fankiang receiving a seven year deal where they would patrol and tax the Golden Way. The Fankiang agreed to assist with Thay, and the Hubadai representative said he would bring it before their leader in Kourmira.
* '''The Justice of Hoar''': The head of Qara Sarn, a Fankiang member who attempted to leave Khan Borcha to her death, was served to Hoar as recompense for the slaying of one of his paladins. He accepted with three thunderstrikes, and Lureene Amblecrown assured that they had secured the Hoar Order's aid against Thay.
* '''Ribcage, Under New Management''': Uncovering Zelza's scheme to plunge Ribcage into the Nine Hells, Xarannos was installed as interim Duke of Ribcage. Zelza was consumed by Bel.
* '''The Third Hell's Door''': A portal to the third layer of the Nine Hells is now publicly known and guarded in the Beetle Bazaar. It's near a woman's burned-down shop. Don't say your favorite color.
* '''A Hag Still Remembers''': The Moss Hag swam through the mire of Minauros, fleeing as the party survived her trap, stole her soul coins, and even freed her Catoblepas. She may yet seek revenge or move on to safer prey.
* '''Tessavyr's Debt''': A rilmani, pinned to the earth by infernal spikes placed by a circle of succubi working for Zelza, thanked the party for its freedom, stating that they just need call its name toward the Spire should they ever need aid.

=== Curiosities ===
* '''The Unpowered Golem''': This still sits abandoned in the flooded depths of the Imaskari Tomb. The party also looted an Anti-Divinity Orb from the same location.
* '''The Unnamed Scholar''': The party looted the body of a female ghoul scholar with a bronze circlet, stuffing her into their Bag of Holding for later Speak-with-Dead questioning. They then proceeded to forget about it.
* '''The Bronze Rib''': A Bronze Rib in Minauros proves to be a foil to teleportation magic, although it did not look easy to move.
* '''Aunrae's Spellbook''': Aside from the Teleportation Circle spell, the dead drow's spellbook also had a loose sheet of sigils for all ten Undrek'Thoz drow-city states and the duergar city of Fraaszummdin.
* '''The Ring''': Galdren asked Diedric if Azhar, Diedric's adopted father and financier of his estate, still bore a ring with gemstones, and how many there were. Diedric confirmed there were two rubies with one inset blank. Galdren looked relieved.
* '''The Time-Skip Doppelganger''': Investigating a darkness at the heart of Thay, Galden and Navarra traced it to a doppelganger impersonating an Aglarond noble, and mid-interrogation they experienced a skip in time (candles instantly burned low) and the doppelganger was disintegrated to ash.
* '''The Interventionist Deva''': Zariel seemed like the crankiest out of the bunch at the Pavilion of Courage.

A group of diverse adventurers, each on their own path, found themselves at '''Ironjaw's Mirth''' on the Thay-Rashemen border. Their chance meeting was interrupted by the '''Red Wizards of Thay''', led by Vezim Sepret, who '''captured everyone''' in retaliation for losses at the Grove of Stars.

Now mired in the conflict between Thay and Rashemen and en route to a slave camp, '''the party escaped''' with aid from '''Imzel Ulmokina''', a Wychlaran druid. A letter on Vezim revealed orders from '''Tharos Orakul, High Diviner of Surthay''', to slay '''"the owl"''' and capture '''"the amphibian"''' for study.

Imzel directed them to Lirensk to meet '''Galdren Murendar''', an ally against the Red Wizards. After a perilous journey across Lake Mulsantir, where they battled quippergulls and a Gelatinous Cube, they met Galdren, '''a rebel Red Wizard''' working to reform Thay. '''He tasked them with acquiring a Grand Sensory Stone from Sigil''', the City of Doors, casting their souls into the Astral Plane.

In the '''Astral Plane''', they helped a '''mathematician''' retrieve a variable stolen by a benign memory entity. Then, they escaped '''githyanki''' pursuers through a color pool to '''The Outlands''' -- after stealing their silver. Guided by a kind bariaur's words, they journeyed towards Sigil, encountering various planar entities (including water-sharing petitioners, imps, and a '''Rogue Modron''') and ultimately reached '''Ribcage''', the gate-town to the Nine Hells.

In Ribcage, they engaged in various intrigues: upgrading a Rogue Modron with infernal silver, binding an '''imp''' into servitude with the help of a '''slaad advocate''', aiding a falsely accused man, uncovering a '''cambion's''' scheme with a '''hag''', and participating in a Blood War skirmish. They finally found passage to '''Sigil''' beneath a bar stool.

In Sigil, they discovered '''Cedani's grandmother's''' ruined poetry shop and defeated the '''Summer Eladrin''' responsible. After recovering from near-death, they met with faction representatives and negotiated with '''Niara''', a Sensate Factotum, for a '''Grand Sensory Stone in exchange for locating Ember'''.

Their search brought them to The Velvet Harness inn, where a '''pegasus''' and '''deva''' led them to a vortex to the '''Elemental Plane of Air'''. There, they survived a harrowing fall with '''Ember''''s help, learning to navigate a realm where direction is a matter of perception. They landed in the courtyard of the '''Palace of the Winds''', a majestic djinn stronghold.

There, they agreed to help rescue a '''trapped djinn''' from the clutches of '''kobolds''', defeating the '''Avatar of Yan-C-Bin'''.

Victorious, they returned to Sigil, and acquired the '''Grand Sensory Stone''' at last. Joining factions and receiving pay from '''The Alley Reapers''', they returned to their bodies in '''The Rebel Estate'''.

Grateful, Galdren rewarded them with '''vast sums of jink''', a Weave-attuned sextant, and explained that he planned to use the stone to '''capture the memories of a deceased person''' who has information invaluable to their cause.

He bid the heroes rest, for now.

Returning from their astral journey with the '''Grand Sensory Stone''', the party awoke at '''The Rebel Estate''' to visions of '''Tharos Orakul''' warning '''Octavius''' away from Thay. '''Cedani''' departed for the Feywild, while '''Lilia Corydalis''', a starry witch seeking her missing coven sister, joined the group.

Sent to '''Urlingwood''' to cure '''Glenn's''' curse, the '''Wychlaran''' declared the barbs needed to be removed where they were cast. At the '''Monolith of Stars''', visions of fractured futures preceded a goblinoid assault. In the chaos, '''Octavius's''' latent '''planeswalker spark''' ignited, pulling them through the '''Blind Eternities''' to '''Mirrodin''' before willing them home.

Pursuing the stolen Monolith into the '''Underdark''', they uncovered drow treachery, slew the ogre assassin '''Vaergath''', and returned the relic to '''Urlingwood'''—shattering divination tools across the continent. In the '''High Country''', they freed and destroyed the demon '''Threxzadur''', then rescued '''Elowen Stonereach''' from the maw of '''Kissethkashaan''', the White Wyrm, escaping through another desperate planeswalk.

In '''Cormyr''', they infiltrated '''Phaulkon Manor''', battled '''illithid''' in '''Hullack Forest''', and finally broke '''Glenn's''' curse where '''Manshoon''' had cast it. '''Glenn''' emerged transformed, embracing both his nobility and his frog nature. '''Githyanki''' seekers arrived and were driven off; '''Kith'rak Gaath''' fled without his silver blade.

Flying east to the '''Endless Wastes''', they joined a paladin's quest for vengeance among warring '''Tuigan''' tribes. Beneath the '''Lake of Mists''', they destroyed an '''Imaskari''' altar of reanimation, collapsing its undead horde. The treacherous '''Qara Sarn's''' head became tribute to '''Hoar''', securing both tribes and the paladin order as allies.

'''Galdren''' revealed his purpose: capturing the memories of '''Navarra''', an ally slain by '''Tharos''' who knew of a weapon in the '''Fell Tower''' in a desert of '''purple sands'''. At her grave, his ritual bound her memories into the '''Grand Sensory Stone'''. He charged the heroes to carry it into the '''Outer Planes''', find her spirit, and deliver it—with '''Ember''' and her broken blue-tinted mask as their guides.

Bearing orb and mask into the '''Astral Plane''' and out through the '''Turquoise Color Pool''', they crossed a reshaped '''Outlands''' and the orchards of '''Sheela Peryroyl'''. Within sight of '''Ribcage''' they freed '''Tessavyr''', a rilmani pinned to the roadside by infernal spikes, who named a favor owed and bid them call toward the '''Spire'''.

In the city, '''Glenn's''' cheerful shout of "Green!" spoke the key to a hidden portal, dropping the party into '''Minauros''', where '''The Moss Hag''' loosed a dire troll in revenge for her ruined schemes. They shattered it, plundered her lair of thirty-three '''soul coins''', and burned her shop on their return.

'''Xarannos''' now ruled Ribcage, '''Zelza''' having been eaten by '''Bel'''. '''Unit 137's''' hellfire freed three innocent souls from the hag's coins. Passing to '''Sigil''' through the stool at '''The Bleeding Horn''', '''Diedric''' was pulled aside to stand before '''Selûne''' as the kobolds of '''The Howling Island''' reached home at last, and was named '''Favored'''. '''Ember''' sent them beneath the Cage to find the spirit-seeker '''Vistra Runehall'''.

Her trail led through '''Vos'Ultok''' to the deva '''Galenthias''', who carried them to '''Lunia''', where the pit lord '''Sulphaxus''' rose from the holy waters mortal and redeemed. At the '''Pavilion of Courage''' they learned Vistra hunts the spectre of a carpenter who betrayed a rebel to save a family he lost anyway. Through '''Khorvas's Pool''' they swam into '''Karasuthra''', the eternal midnight of the '''Beastlands''', a day and a half behind her.
