Session Summary[edit source]
Synopsis[edit source]
The party enters the demi-plane in search of the hostages
This Session[edit source]
Returning to the temple after a good nights rest the party meets with Lofrat one last time before he blesses them, provides refurbished armor, food, (including two kegs of Dwarven ale carried by Stirkirk) and proceeds to open a gate to the demi-plane. The priests had consulted Clangeddin over the night who provided some insight on the plane; the realm was torn from Greyhawk centuries ago when a wizard king (believed to be Anzalan of Knurl) consorted with a greater devil to overcome a contender to his realm (Lord Monduiz Dephar - a follower of Demogorgon) and ultimately gain immortality.
Something happened during the struggle leaving the realm stuck between the planes of hell and the prime material (perhaps part of the plane of shadow) where it is rumored Anzalan and his minions may still be trapped. Devils and demons bear no love for each other but they hate the living even more, the priests believe both evil powers could possibly be using this realm to aid their conquest of Bone March.
Stepping through the portal the party finds themselves on a muddy road, surrounded by mists that limit their sight, and cast a grayish brown tint to everything that dims out the sun. Wagon tracks are clearly visible and head to what appears to be the west. Half days march on the road brings them to a massive rusty iron gate which they approach warily and pass even more uneasily. After nearly a days walk and not long before dusk they find a body lying beside the road and while investigating it are attacked by wolves. Aileen is grievously wounded in the battle and the party discovers their spells and weapons don't seem as effective here. They continue down the road as night and a cold rain begin to fall...
