The party learns that the Champions Games are already underway.</p><p></p><p>5th - The party is attacked by a doppelganger at breakfast. They follow clues leading them to the doppelganger hideout. They are unable to kill or capture Telakin, the leader of the doppelgangers.</p><p></p><p>6th - The party meets Celeste, who regenerates Alexander's lost ear and toes. They learn of a Kyuss cult beneath the Greyhawk Arena planning to unleash a horrific creature at the end of the Champions Games (tomorrow).</p><p></p><p>7th - The party infiltrates the sub-basement of the Greyhawk Arena. Because of their efforts, the Apostle of Kyuss is released prematurely, causing horrific death and destruction to the city, but thwarting whatever plans the cult of Kyuss might have had for it.

Celeste is missing in action.</p><p></p><p><em>Reaping</em></p><p></p><p>2nd - The party follows a clue they found in the doppelganger hideout and find a series of caverns in the sewers inhabited by drow.

The rest of the party is left to wonder about Alexander's possible motivations.</p><p></p><p>5th - Alexander returns to the party. He explains that once he cracked the code of the Rainbow Mage's journal, he discovered that the items they had recovered were two pieces of a three-piece set that could be used to free Kyuss from his imprisonment, allowing him to return to Oerth. Alexander decided that these items needed to be given to Eligos for safe-keeping, so he took them away to keep them out of Thorash's hands. The rest of the party was angry with Alexander's unilateral decision. To make matters worse, Alexander relates his doubts that the man he gave the items to was truly Eligos.

Thorash is killed by an elder black pudding.</p><p></p><p>10th - The party travels to Greyhawk.

After some attempts at subterfuge, the doppelganger posing as Eligos attacks the party. He is joined by Loris Raknian and his assassin cohort. The party is victorious. Eligos's dead body is discovered in an upstairs closet. Alexander teleports his corpse directly to the Church of St. Cuthbert to have him raised.</p><p></p><p>12th - The party teleports back to Diamond Lake to pick up some magic items they had commissioned from Venelle. She warns them about some potential conflict brewing in town. The party returns to Icosiol's Cairn (via the portal Allustan had found in the Whispering Cairn) and recovers Allustan, who had fallen victim to a trap that had placed him in stasis.</p><p></p><p>16th - The party teleports back to Rosewater to meet with Learah. Alexander explains what has happened recently, apologizes for taking/losing her father's items, and submitted himself to whatever legal process she thought was appropriate. She informs the party that she no longer has legal standing to prosecute Alexander's crimes because her father has been raised from the dead. Since the items were his, he would be the one who would have to complain. This news filled the party with fear, because Alexander had read in his journal that the Rainbow Mage was a servant of Kyuss. A mage that powerful would make a powerful enemy...</p><p></p><p>20th - The party destroys the Oculus Demon defending Icosiol's true tomb and recovers the seventh piece of the Rod of Seven Parts.</p><p></p><p><em>Brewfest</em></p><p></p><p>4th - In a public ceremony, Tarric is knighted at Greyhawk's church of Heironeous by the Order of the Shield.</p><p></p><p>5th - On the road to Magepoint, the party is ambushed by a small group of bone and barbed devils.
