Session 33

Day 176 (3rd cycle of summer, 25th day)
The next day, the Sons work on a trap to get a shadar-kai shiff commandeered so they can get up to the island. Lots of ideas with nets and ballistas, but in the end, the Sons hide on a roof-top and try to jump on a shiff when it swings by, dropping off shadar-kais into Ironville. However, as they attempt to do it, the navigator spots them and tries to get away. Nevron however manages to charm him, and they get into the shiff and are flown up to the floating city. 

Nevron casts an illusion, so that they look as shadar-kai. Problem is the language. Nevron and Charon both speak elvish, as do the shadar-kai, but their accent is very different and while communication would be possible without issues, no one who had a conversation with them would take them for a real shadar-kai.

Once up there, the Sons pass through the city, which is full of black slender spires. They finally arrive at the domed building from which the purple energies emanate. 

Up there, they try to trick their way past the guards, who won't let anyone in, but when the bluff fails, they engage in a fight. 

Slowly the battle moves inside the building, where there are more guards and two shadowmancers also. It is a long and hard battle, which leaves the Sons depleted and exhausted.

While resting for a little energy, they pose as guards outside, so noone notices. 

After an hour's rest, Nevron fails to dismantle the ritual, so they have to destroy the black-runed stones, which causes an explosion and the island to be dragged back into the Underworld.

They quickly leave the building and head down the hill. They run into some guards, but manage to bluff them into thinking that there are people in need of help. While the guards run up, the Sons disappear into the city and find a vacant home and rest.

Day 177 (3rd cycle of summer, 26th day)
Nevron tries to charm a shadar-kai into finding out about a portal. However the best info he can obtain is that one of the rival "cities" are known to have control over a semi-permanent portal.
