XP = 700/2 = 350[HR][/HR]That bolded of Ishka's words?  I'm thinking one more Extended Rest in this Tier for this group.  After which, "the s*** goes down."  Caiphon manifests fully and the githyanki begin pouring into this world to lay waste to all of Bantouk in their war against the Far Realm taint while the rest of the pursuing Legion of Ruth slam against the gates.  Githyanki and bladeling horde clashes galore amongst a terrified citizenry (those who aren't thralls of Caiphon).In light of that, we should probably cut back to our other crew to resolve their conflicts and get them headed back to Bantouk, yeah?</blockquote>
