SESSION: THE LAIR OF VORBYX (Part II) What has come before... 1) The Heroes continued down the passage that the patrol came from and found themselves at a giant sized door. 2) Picking the lock was simple enough. They headed into a large chamber with some very upset ogres and orcs. 3) Having defeated the ogres the Heroes headed deeper into the complex. They found a chamber with 2 doors...one having orc tracks leading to it while the other had ogre and giant tracks. 4) While deciding what to do the Heroes heard the sounds of a large force coming their way from the chamber they just left. 5) Realizing that the returning force would know of their presence the Heroes raced back into the chamber and battled a returning force of orcs. 6) Having defeated the orcs, the Heroes headed back to the orc door, entered and defeated the remaining orcs in their barracks. 7) Heading back out and through the ogre and giant door the Heroes entered a massive cavern that had about a dozen ogres and their pet dire bears. 8) Having dispatched the ogres (in quite heroic fashion) the Heroes headed south into the largest cavern they have yet seen. In it was a group of ogres being rallied together by a massive ogre warhulk champion. They spotted the Heroes and the battle was on! Alon Zee was finally up for what it takes to be an adventuring battle mage! 9) Through solid teamwork and some very effective Runes of Thunder, the Heroes defeated the large band without losing any Heroes.
The Current Situation... 1) The Heroes face a decision as 3 doors lead out of this cavern. Which one to choose?

SESSION: FACING VORBYX What has come before... 1) The Heroes first chose to follow reptile tracks through the eastern door. This led them into a large drake cavern where they battled the orcs and ogre's pack of drakes. 2) The drake pen connected to the southern door so the Heroes were left with only the southwestern door. This door was much larger hinting at the presence of ogres and giants. 3) The Heroes went through this door and entered a large cavern where they battled a band of Hill Giants. While battling them a large magically enhanced giant lumbered in. He had old elven runes tattooed on him and was obviously corrupted by the Feydark. 4) This battle was hard fought and Alon Zee fell by the hammer of the feydark giant. 5) Moving on the Heroes found a large cavern with a massive portal to the feydark. The Heroes stepped through and found themselves in a large depressed crater in the middle of a large forest. Heading toward them from the rim of the crater were 3 huge fomorian giants followed by a fomorian painbringer...Vorbyx himself! 6) The battle was hard fought. The Heroes found some luck as 2 massive carrion crawlers came out of the woods intent on destroying the fomorians as they have been battling for control of the area for some time. 7) Having finally defeated Vorbyx, the Heroes were joined by the djinni and Adrie-Sol now that the djinni was freed from Vorbyx's hold. 8) The djinni sent the Heroes, Grimm, and Adrie-Sol back to Falconmeer Academy to continue looking for Shade's killer, Calek, as he has been seen in the Griffon Hills. 9) Grady Slammerhammer was sent back to Ironforge Hall to begin his defense of his home vs. the invading duergar. 10) Takira and Welsh were sent back to Tengard to continue defending it against the frequent attacks coming from the Oldenwood.
The Current Situation... 1) The Heroes will begin preparing for their foray into the Griffin Hills by resupplying at Falconmeer Academy.

SESSION: FALCONMEER ACADEMY What has Come Before... 1) The Heroes headed to Falconmeer Academy to continue their search for Shade's killer, Calek, and his employer. 2) When they arrived they met a tiefling named Pita that was interested in the fact that a revenant was looking for answers about her death. 3) After listening to their story, Pita took the Heroes into a conference room and summoned his friend (and current arcane arts instructor) Wrenn. The only "Calek" that Wrenn knows is a visiting professor (named Khalic) of arcane studies that is on sabatical in the Griffon Hills. She thinks he's a bit "off" as he keeps going on about "Temporal Magic" which Wrenn feels is a dead end and waste of time. 4) The Heroes talked at length with the two and Wrenn began to disclose information about the 4 Sisters. She believes that Adrie Sol and Birel-Nala are two of the 4. 5) Wrenn went on to explain that there is to be a horrific event in the near future that will destroy the Kingdom of Baros as we know it and usher in an age of chaos at the hands of the monstrous races that litter the realm. 6) The writing is on the wall already and signs point to the destruction of magic as we know it. 7) Wrenn knows that the 4 Sisters are part of a prophecy that claims that the event can be averted. She has no concrete evidence just a "hunch" but she does believe that it involves the coming duergar invasion, an artifact known as the "Obsidian Eye" and a griffin. 8) Wrenn is at a loss as to where this all leads but feels that the Griffon Hills are a great place to start if you are looking for a Griffin. The Current Situation... 1) The Heroes are equipped and are off to the Griffon Hills.

SESSION -- THE GRIFFON HILLS (Part I)What has Come Before... 1) The Heroes gathered all of the information that they could from Wrenn and headed to the Griffon Hills in search of a griffin and the missing professor named Kahlic. - The "Obsidian Eye" is another name for the Eye of Shar
- Crow was the understudy to Khalic...until he took his master's "temporal magic" spellbook and fled.
- Khalic went off to the Griffon Hills in search of his traitorous understudy.
- Honor remembers peering into a dark mirror when he was a child in Turingham...he thought nothing of it when he was younger but the act seems more important now.
- Shade feels that the gods are at work here. They may be moving the heroes that they need from any time period and collecting them together to deal with the Magiclysm...either to cause it or to prevent it.
- Shade feels that her name during life may have been Selsha.
2) Pita was able to guide the Heroes to an abandoned dwarven foundry and smithing cavern thinking that the professor would try to find a place in the Griffon Hills that was already cleared out of its residents. 3) The Heroes were successful in finding the stronghold. As they entered they were ambushed by a company of bugbears that had been tasked with guarding the entrance. 4) Having dispatched the guards, the Heroes entered the complex and came to the complex's first defensive chamber. This chamber had a large chasm with a rope bridge stretched across it...this is a common dwarven defensive area. 5) The Heroes battled two more bugbear guards and then safely crossed the rope bridge. 6) Continuing deeper into the complex the Heroes entered a large chamber that was filled with over a dozen waiting bugbears led by their subcommander. 7) The battle was extensive and very tense. Heroes were being knocked unconscious only to be revived by a Quickened Honor and when he moved on to another patient they were battered again. Finally the tide broke and the Heroes got the upper hand. It was only a matter of time before they defeated the entire company. 8) When the smoke cleared the large force of bugbears was defeated and all of the Heroes were healthy and ready for more. The Current Situation... 1) The Heroes face tunnels to the south and the east. They are heading deeper into the complex.
