11th -12th day of Palesun 1492
Mission: Find the headwaters of Raer Tasa & find the sacred pool of the moon.
Campaign: Saving the Druid Grove of Karion
Location(s): High Forest, ruins of an unknown place.
Present: Anor, Aramil, Bandur, Karion, Paskan
Bandur threw his axe around him smiting foes to left and right but still he was surrounded.
Karion was still surrounded as Aramil fought off a ghoul. The skeleton above Paskan kept slashing down into the paralysed Dragon Born. A ghoul horde was heading for the fighting.
Bandur stull surrounded was using his battle master skills to the full, slaying countless enemy before him. But still he was surrounded. The approaching horde surged forward and was about to overwhelm the group near the encampment.
Aramil said word of protection, hoping it was enough, and unleashed another fireball over the top of the group by the encampment. Another backpack and equipment went up in flames, but the undead horde had been badly hit.
Paskan succumbed to his wounds and fell to the floor as Anor stepped forward to protect him from further attacks. Karion was badly wounded and near to dropping himself when he cast change form, into a dire wolf. Aramil defended himself against a ghoul but was paralysed.
Karion took two hits as he moved to where Bandur was surrounded and helped him fight off the undead there. Bandurs battleaxe swept left and right again, taking foes down with each hit, but he was tiring and could not bring himself to swing his battle axe so effectively as he had done.
Anor moved to protect Aramil then swung around and dispatched the remaining ghoul.
KAarion having taken significant hits as a dire wolf, changed back to his normal Wood Elf form and smashed a skeleton to the ground. Bandur dropped two more.
At long last it was over, the group stood in shock and horror. They had taken a lot but given a lot too. Only poor Paskan lay on the floor, dead.
The group stood around the inert body of their friend. They were at a loss.
Karion: "If only Aerie was here, she could bring him back".
Aramil: "Well she's not, so that ain't going to happen".
Anor: "If only we could call her, get her to come here. After all the central pendent is."Bandur reached into his belt pouch and pulled out the stone that Garet had given to him before Aerie, and He left for Axeholm.
Bandur: "Would this help, it's one of the 2 sending stones?"
All: "YES! Bloody great Bandur. Now you tell us.......!"
Bandur took the stone, as he had with the other stones that both he and Fargrim used many months ago.
Bandur: "Aerie, we have need of you, here, now."
Scant seconds later Aerie arrived beside Bandur.
Aerie: "What ails yo.......oh, is that Paskan on the floor?"
Bandur: "Yes, he's dead I'm afraid. Can you help?"
Aerie: "Of course".
Aerie started to chant in the lyrical tongue of the Avariel. She moved her hands as she chanted, a gleaming diamond in her hands. Slowly the diamond faded into nothing, and they could all see Paskan's chest rise up and down.
Aerie: "Before I go, I will use what healing prayers I have and heal you as much as I can. Paskan, take heed you will be weak for a few days but with each passing day you will get better. I would advise that once I am finished here you make best speed and move towards your goal."
Aerie cast as much healing as she could, bade her farewell and departed once more for Axeholm".
