Session 23

Day 95 (1st cycle of summer, 17th day)

The Sons investigate the crystal coffin some more. Nevron, with the help of Arath and Urnyx (and later Esmaralda), determine that some of the symbols are enochian, which is the written language used by celestial beings, angels. He also determines that some of them indicate that the coffin is protected a variety of things, from dispel magic, to the elements and radiant/necrotic energy. It seems to be completely immune to everything. They consider tossing it over the edge, 60' down, but in the end decide to bring it along.

Nevron polymorphs and digs a tunnel out of the cave, and they drag/roll the coffin down to the raft and sail off for Porrac

Day 97 (1st cycle of summer, 19th day)

They arrive in Porrac, after a two-day journey through the swamp. Only once did they run into trolls, when Urnyx was surprised by three trolls during his shift one night. But once the initial surprise was over, the three trolls weren't really a problem for the Sons of the Phoenix.

Day 98 (1st cycle of summer, 20th day)

The Sons leave Porrac, after buying a cart and two mules for the crystal coffin.

Day 100 (1st cycle of summer, 22nd day)

Passing through the Bluestone Hills, the Sons meet a bard called Izabel. She is heading towards the Swamp of Death, having heard about the undead infestation. The Sons are vary to share info with her, so they part ways the next morning.

Day 102 (1st cycle of summer, 24th day)

The Sons return to Ashfield. Outside they find the remains of a lot of soldiers. Some orcs, but mostly Ashfielders, Starkholders and Lochhursters and some from Ironville.

They receive a message from Elias, telling them to hurry to the church. Before heading in, they hide the crystal coffin by pushing it into the river, before heading into Ashfield. After crossing the river, they run into some orcs and some ogres. The some more orcs in the streets, before they enter a house and save a girl from being raped. They bring the poor, chocked girl to the church, where they face off some more orcs, before leaving the girl there, while they follow a bloody trail to a nearby warehouse. There they find Elias, who is being kept by an orc, and his invisible ogre mage. The two are quickly dispatched, but especially Arath and Urnyx are by now quite wounded. The ogre mage manages to blow a horn before dying, and the Sons pick up Elias and storm out of the warehouse, narrowly avoiding 20-30 orcs storming the warehouse.
