[QUOTE="Ranger5, post: 2954215, member: 17981"] [b]Remnants of the Red Hand[/b] The four companions awoke in cells, stripped of all equipment, with Aslan and Barros additionally bound and gagged. Freshly healed wounds could be seen and felt on all their bodies. Memories come flooding back. It was on the night before Midsummer Holiday, just seven days ago, that Tala had the most vivid nightmare of her father, Jorr Natherson, being captured and tortured within the Fane of Tiamat. She could not see who was torturing him but she was so shaken by the images when she awoke, that see had to do something about them. She decided to approach her friends and told them of the dream. She explained how real it felt and that she still had a foreboding sense of dread. She then made the decision to travel to the Fane and see if there was anything to her dream. Her companions of course agreed to go with her. It just so happened that the regiment of Tiri Kitor elves that was still in Brindol needed a favor. They had more giant owls in Brindol than they had riders. And since the elves and the owls all trusted the companions, the elves said that Tala and her friends could use the owls to travel to the Fane as long as they headed to Starsong Hill once they were done. The companions agreed and left the next morning on the 1st of Eleasis, 1373 DR. On the third day before they broke camp for the final leg of their journey to the Fane, the companions were caught by surprise and ambushed. The attackers were swift and brutally effective. All of the companions were swiftly neutralized and knocked into unconsciousness. Images of days of torture at the hands of some kind of infernal creature also came back as well. This was punctuated by the sight of the torture chamber just outside their prison doors. Suddenly, the sound of the main door could be heard. The companions looked up and instead of their torturer; they saw the familiar face of Jorr. He signaled them to remain silent and made his way to Tala's cell. While using his lockpicking skills to open her door, he explained that he had found the giant owls and was able to track the companions and their captors back to the Fane. He had spent the last two days scouting the Fane and was able to determine that it was currently being occupied by several kind of infernal beings, a night hag, and human female sorceress with red hair. The sorceress seemed to be the leader. He also knew where their equipment was being held and he could lead them out of here. He explained that some kind of catastrophic event occurred here just three days before that caused some of the corridors to collapse. With that he led the companions to the room where their equipment was. Just after donning their equipment a shot could be heard echoing through the halls of the Fane. Shortly afterwards the doors to the room they were in, opened and there stood an infernal creature covered in barbs. It immediately attacked. After the few seconds the first devil was joined by two others, these with long beards and glaives. The battle did not go well for the companions. Both Barros and Jorr died in the melee. The companions decided to press on and take the battle to the red-haired sorceress, whom they had encountered in the past. It was then they were ambushed in the cramped corridors of the Fane by the night hag and the two erinyes they had fought just a few days before. And this battle did not fare any better for the remaining companions. Mishka and Tala fell to the attacks of the infernal creatures though they were able to drive off the night hag. Aslan, decided that escape was his only choice and valiantly tried to save Tala's body but in the end, had to escape on his own. So as it was, the adventures of Barros, Mishka, and Tala finally came to end on the 6th day of Eleasis, 1373 DR. Aslan himself disappeared into the north though no one knows exactly where he went. As for Grull, he returned from Red Rock, heard that his friends had gone back to the Fane and followed to see if he could find them. Once he got there though, he found the entrance to the Fane had been collapsed and could not find anyway in. He then left the Wrymsmoke Mountains in search of any clues as to where his friends might be. He still searches to this day. [/QUOTE]
