[QUOTE="Belen, post: 3222486, member: 1405"] I did not write up anything formally, but I should be able to pull something together from my notes on it. I know that I had four encounters: Fell, Legate plus Orcs, Cave Troll, and Behir. The adventure started off in the city of Calador. The heroes were summoned by the clan leaders and the Loremaster. The Loremaster had been studying the extensive tatoos on one of the PCs for years and finally divined the truth. The PC was the last living member of Clan Fodrin. The location of a secret weapon was found within his tatoos and the Loremaster thought that this was the real reason that Idenor has disappeared. The Shadow feared this weapon! The PCs were shownthe way to a long forgotton road deep beneath Calador that would set them on the path towards Idenor. On their way, they were ordered to send word to some of the outlying clans from Calador that the city would soon fall to the shadow and that they should prepare to be under siege soon after the fall. At the closest clanhold to Calador, the PCs discovered that it was already under siege and they fought a group of Fell who had been seeded in the roads around the clanhold to prevent escape or help from arriving. They dealt with the Fell and gave the news about the plight of Calador. At this clanhold, they received information on which road they would need to continue their journey including news that the Cave Troll, Gorgas, guarded the road that they needed to take. They were warned that nothing could defeat Gorgas and that if they continued, then certain death would not be far behind. After they left, they encountered the bones of dwarves and Orcs that littered the road. These bones only grew more numerous as they reached the home of Gorgas. A grew drum sounded in the deep for what seemed like a lieftime before they reached his cave. Gorgas waited for them and he beat a giant rock cauldron, waiting for them to arrive. The rock cauldron was filled with the blood of his victims and as he beat it, the blood dribbled over the sides. This was a very close battle and only one PC remained conscious at the end of it. They spent several days recovering. Afterwards, they continued on the road until they reached an abandoned clanhold. Here, they encountered the clanless fighting a legate and his troops. The Legate has been sent to find a rumored party from Calador. They defeated the Legate and the clanless brought them to the defiled Hall of Heroes where they learned the location of the last road. The road would lead to a clanhold on the edges of Idenor where the secret weapon had been hidden before the end. In that lasy clanhold, they encountered a Behir who was guarding the weapon. The behir had been among the creatures that had destroyed Idenor. The PCs fought bravely and two of them were eaten by the beast. In the end, they prevailed. Their channeler found the book and they discovered the knowledge of how to comunicate with their ancestors in order to harness their power to fight the shadow. The ended the adventure determined to bring this knowledge to the armies of the Kurgan dwarves and with their channler learning the paths that would bring her divine power. [/QUOTE]
