Episode 18 of our Dungeons & Dragons campaign, the Guardians of Indir. The party has chased three elves into tunnels that mysteriously appeared below their city. One elf was found, dead. While looking for the other two, the party has uncovered signs of ancient magic and technology, including a giant chimney/shaft made entirely of thaumatite. Having decided that they need more key medallions from the elves, the party has continued down strange twisting passages to a door that Balasar broke. On the other side was a long hallway with several doors and cracks in the walls. Squeak has opened one door to find a chest sitting in the middle of the room, but the others are distracted by the sounds of something scratching the rock within the cracks...

The Guardians of Indir have chased elves into a mysterious dungeon and now continue to search for them in dangerous, ancient tunnels underground.

The Guardians are:

- Balasar (played by Korben), the devout dragonborn paladin from a small village of devotees of Ugondai, fellow Dragon War veteran with the changeling

- Kantu (played by Lucia), the aarakocra bounty hunter and troubleshooter with a contract to capture Indir's shapeshifter

- Klyde (played by Kaleb), the kobold crook and wandering con-man devoted to the latest scam he can cook up with the hobgoblin hero

- Squeak (played by Blake), the changeling of Indir, veteran of the Dragon War and friend to the dragonborn, apprentice of the renowned bard Torinn

- Vhisuna (played by Aria), the hobgoblin thief, hero of Daboboah, who steals from the rich and gives to the poor

While chasing elves, the party goes to rescue Balasar from the darkness and finds a mysterious metal puzzle.

The Guardians try to save Kantu from certain slime before continuing to look for elves in the underground ruins.

The party recovers from the touchy-feelies of last session and continues to look for the elves with a trip into a pit.

We resume the story in the present day, as the party pursues the elves underground, into the hole that mysteriously appeared below the wall around Indir.

In a brief mini-episode taken from the tail end of session 4 (the "human flashback"), the players ask to see how much damage Atako would have taken (precipitating a more thorough demonstration of the falling damage rule) and they each share a bit about what they learned about humans and the game world in this flashback.

The party finds out what happened to Geranda and then continue to their date with a dragon.

The five human defenders of the Tower of the Sun continue to punish the elves for the audacity to think they could meddle in the affairs of their betters.

Facing the dark hole leading under the Indir wall, the group is presented with a decision...
