I think I messed up...
So after some time we finally had time to play again. The session before the group entered Eresh, got to know that something/ someone was messing with the minds of the inhibitants and we concluded when the group had had the first meeting with Balance.
So what happened? The Group found out about Eril and he told them about the fate of his Group. After that they decided to pay a visit to the Monastery, battled the Wind Elemental Guardians and met Caella who told them to just go away. If they wanted to see the masters they would have to lift the curse which has taken over the village. So they went back and talked to Balance again. So they got some Information about the origin of the Trillith, that they pass into the material world in GatePass, they even concluded that the Dreaming Festival might bear some importance. Balance told them that it was dying and that it had not much time left until the calm it provides would disappear.
At the same Moment the 2nd General Magdus reappeared with his troops so that there are now 300 Ragesians in the camp in front of Eresh.
The Group then suddenly decided to put Balance on a cart and bring her to the forbidden valley. On the way they were ambushed by the West- and East Wind Monks and the Mantidrake and defeated them. Balance was injured by the Mantidrake´s Sound burst and the Paladine allowed her to enter his Body. We ended there.
The Paladine´s Player and I talked about that and he decided that he wants his Mount (a giant stag) to serve as Balance´s new Body, so he will lose his Paladine Mount which will give him some (we hope) cool RP opportunities within the Group.
So what will happen? I really don´t know.
As Long as Balance is around there will be no fight for Eresh. In order to get to speak to the Masters of the Wind the Group has to lift the "curse" which, as far as I get it, will inevitably lead to a Ragesian attack. Now that the Group is several hours away from the village they can´t participate should the fight break out.
Is there a way to get to speak to the Masters without the fight between the Ragesians and the villagers?
Maybe you could share so insights?
