Finally reunited Kuzma and Mendicus meet back up with everyone after their encounter with Vrazes.  They exchange the basic information of their mini-adventure.  After a quick rest the party heads off to the mine, but not before running into a fascinating merchant who sold them a few items and awoke the Occultic Diadem (the crown of Ioun which Yosmorn wears.)  Through great teamwork and better stealth rolls, the party gets the jump on the Demons guarding the Dust Mine and make quick work of the outside.   The Collective then clarifies some things with the Mayor of the city as to the specifics of the job and head back to finish clearing out the mine!

After coming off of a month break from playing due to some extenuating circumstances with families of a few of the players we get rocking and rolling. Kuzma and Mendicus are drawn away by the Lich King Vrazes to make a deal with them, while the rest of the party is left wondering where they went. So they make the best of their time and go see the Mayor of Pumice Village to see if they could get paid to clear out their demon infestation in the mine, effectively killing 2 birds with 1 stone since they needed to go down the mine anyway.

The party finishes up the battle and they each earn their sashes.  Kord deems Vaedyn worthy of the Bindings of Kord.  The party makes their way towards the Pumice Village to go down the mine to hopefully get back another glass shard of the mind of Ioun.  They ran into some new folks a part of a hunting guild and the party was humbled a bit after a small skirmish.  Lastly Kuzma learned of some of the successes from his sermon back at the Omnimondetudiary.

After the meeting and story time, the kuzma found his way into some fields of eggplants, the rest found their way to bed, except for Alkahest, who discovered the monastery's forge where he began working on a long awaited Adamantine shield.  In the middle of the night Mendicus was awoken by a spider to go have a meeting with Lilth (Alkahest's sister and warforged of the Spider Queen Lolth).  Lilth had some information to share with Mendicus about the location of a piece that may help with the recovery of Ioun. Then on his way back to bed he was stopped by a skeletal rabbit.  Seemingly a servant of the Great Lich Vrazes. What could come of this.   In the morning the training began, Mendicus learning to dodge better, Pavel learning to punch harder, Yosmorn learning to strike quickly, and Vaedyn learning to access his Astral projection.  Then the real work started.  The Immortal Stable's test. Break 4 crystals.  Three of the six already wounded, and three of the 4 crystals down, what will happen going for the final crystal?

The party finds a way into the city and meets another sibling of Yosmorns.  Mendicus asserts himself as the Alpha Bum as he and Yosmorn attempt the classic Goodish cop Bad cop.  The party then heads to the Immortal Dojo and meets up with a plethora of Warforged before getting to hear the story of the night from Master Chackie Jan.

After rushing into the Sands of Marrow off the Iron Road, the party was mid battle with some of the Tehb'yeq monstrosities in an effort to rescue 2 of Alkahest's sisters, Ebony and Yew.  After defeating them successfully and learning more about what hatched from the egg, the party heads north into Mauernorden, the Dwarven lead country, and unsurprisingly more chaos commences.

Kuzma talks to an awakened shrub and a Treant named Timberlake.  We frustrate Alkahest with puns. We have a close encounter with a lizard and then we begin making our way through the Sands of Marrow, a massive portion of land controlled by an ancient and powerful Lich.

After defeating the goblin guarded bridge, the party set out to take care of the leader of this uprising.  A battle was had and 0 mercy was shown to the voiceless caster Zoznorm.  Interesting things were learned by our beloved bard Yosmorn about his family.  And so now the party continues north to the next monk monastery.

The party meets and has a brief interaction with the owner of the Fire Owlbear. They then continue their journey north to discover a fallen fort, which being the kind loving caring people that they are, they looked in to.

The party continues their adventure north to the monk monastery.  They have another encounter with the Abbotts of Foresight where they learned some information about the next  God to be born into the world.  Then they find a F.I.F that Mendicus warns from against....again.
