Synopsis
The PC's enter the mountain dimension
This Session
Mourns test
Mourn faces down his opponent inside the temple and casting an aura of protection upon himself steps forward. As he begins a purification ritual, a shadowy figure begins to coal less from the blood, running down the cracks and forms a cloudy and shrouded evil looking creature with malevolent red eyes that stares at him hungrily. As Moore continues his purification ritual, the creature attempts to force away past his aura of protection. It screams out in rage and pain as it sweeps its long tenderly arms through the aura manages to hit more only briefly before Moore's counterstrike with the sword finishes it off, and it dissipates back into the pair. Moments later, he finds himself standing in the hallway and noticing the door at the end had been propped open he walks towards it getting a blast of cold air from the mountain valley.
Sounds in he smoke
While Mourn was battling the wrath, the party begins their journey down the cliffside path. As they move through the winding path echoes of the wind seem to play tricks on their ears as Aldran hears some kind of summoning spell echoing in the distance. Balmaris, Durmen, and Egon each experience slightly different variations of the sounds of chanting, whispers of archaic languages, like with wind wrestling through drive parchment Egon in particular hears the echoing cries of unfamiliar beast. While bars picks up on a subtle metallic hum of some kind of temporal energy there is unable to determine exactly where it's coming from. German seems to be the most trouble feeling more than hearing high-pitched tone that seems to vibrate and is very bones.
Temporal Echoes
As they continue the unsettling journey down the cliff side a cold, biting wind wind picks up carrying upon it, a light snow which adds to the patches are already on the trail . They hear their names being called out by Nail, who is rapidly procuring his way back and forth between the treacherous cliffside and the side of the mountain (critical success), as he bounds past the party Balmaris loses his footing (critical fail) and begin sliding uncontrollably down the path. As he accelerates down the path, the rest of the party, barely avoids being knocked over by his tumbling form. A few minutes later they all arrive at the base of the mountain winded, but with no major injuries.
The Garrison
The party arrives in the village just after dark and witnesses a few villagers who were hastily loading a wagon that is being watched over by a single uninterested looking guard. A little bit further in the village they just barely pick out a few other guards standing in front of the stables pointing and gesturing about in preparation, it appears to leave. Aldran straight up quickly and catching the guard on wars, surprises him with a series at rapid for questions. The guard somewhat taken back divers that the small Garrison is preparing to escort a convoy over the mountain pass to the village of Morden some 18 miles away when ask why they travel at night, the guard remarks that the passes are guarded by a local tribe of barbarians who prefer to attack in daylight as they fear creatures of the night. So shipping goods is relatively safer. It's at this point the guard realizes Aldran bears an uncanny resemblance to some of the tribes in the area and begins nervously fingering his sword, but at that moment, the rest of the party arrives, and he directs them to the tavern where they can find food and lodging for the evening.
