Synopsis[edit source]
The party returns to Kazel Outpost with the rescued hostages and begins to plan their next adventure.
This Session[edit source]
Desperatly seeking to buy time for Gallandrin to gather the party, Horin casts divine strike on Yaz, forrcing him back. Follwed by a mass heal, as Stirkirk and Ragnum rush forward to strike Yaz. The rest of the party fans out to recover their dying and woundend members from the puddings Luthaist is wounded further by opportunity attacks, while Stirkirk is stunned again by Yaz and the puddings. Ragnum calls upon his diety and manages to force Yaz to the far side ot the tower by creative use of the Turn the Unholy spell. In a series of swift actions Aileen grabs Sulimor while Kruegar manages to get in a solid hit from his ax just before the Gallandrins gate opns whisking them back to Kazel outpost.
Unfortuanltey the amulet gates the puddings back with them and after a moemnt to gather their senses the combat contineus in the seemingly abandoned temple of Clangeddin. Another round of combat ensues before the sound of a bell tolling in the distance signals the outpost has been alerted. Two more rounds of battering and teh party sees Sordord Coppershield rush in with siz gaurds just as they finish off the last of the puddings.
Recognizing Kruegar Darzog and Sulimor the Kazel gaurds bow and salute their comrades before the entire group takes stock of their suitation. They have partially completed their quest to recover the leders but did not recover the artifacts. Still their return is cause for celebration and everyon agrees to meet on the following day to discuss what to do next.
In the parties 20 day abscense it seems over two months have tanspired here on Oerth and the battle between the humanoids and the last allied dwarf, elf, human defenders of Bone March have managed a stalemate. With the return of their leaders perhaps the tide of battle will now turn in the defenders favor.

- The secret use of the standing stones to move forces around between the planes.
- That certain groups (Erferil & the Red Company) are collecting slaves/moving between planes
- That some elves/dwarves were taken to the demi-plane when it was torn from Oerth some 200+ years ago
- That humans remain trapped on the plane
- Azal'Lan is the reason the demi-plane was created
- Lord Vellor (Knight of Doom) is hunting Azal'Lan
- One of the artifacts Azal'Lan and Vellor both seek (a key or scepter) is reportedly in Spinecastle, perhaps the reason the humanoids invaded.

Rumors or Intelligence Gained[edit source]
The Dread Lord's forces (mostly undead) have continued to advance south but seem more cautious. His castle can be approached from the Tessar Torrent, perhaps the Highlanders would assist.
Oleg Keep and surrounding lands in the central Bone March bequeathed to the party are overrun with Hobgoblins (Rippers) and perhaps undead.
The dwarves of Kazhull Deep (located in the southern Rakers) were advancing south via the old mines/tunnels but never arrived. The Darzog Dwarves have since collapsed the tunnels from the nearby deeps leading to Kazel Outpost to hold off the undead.
The elves of the Ivae Orr forest were holding off the humanoids but reportedly also marching south overland to join with the gnomes of the vale and the remaining dwarf/human defenders. They have not been heard from in weeks.
