Talk about a deus ex machina (am I using that correctly?) there at the end. Though I guess our heroes could have mopped up the remainder of the Reghed nomads. At least now we have more Tall Tree! This party is getting pretty big! I hope this doesn’t mean combat will take longer though. What say you, Max Hedman?

Okay so like I’m not the only one mad about those kobolds, right? Like I feel like that was just unfair. Personally. Where did these three come from, anyway? I mean I guess the mine. But still. Bastion wasn’t even there for those quests! Why was he punished?? Max Hedman, can you make it make sense to me?

So Auril is the absolute worst, we can all agree on that. Gods she makes me so angry. Why does she even want the Dale? No one wants to worship her here. Go somewhere else! There are plenty of people who will worship you…just not here! Max Hedman this makes me so mad. I really could just explode.

What a blow! Finally! Good news for ONCE!! Gods I am so excited I could just scream. Without her Roc, Auril can’t make the rime, right?? This is monumental. Max Hedman, break out the brandy! We’re celebrating tonight!

Oh boy… this is the moment we have been waiting for folks. Auril is front and center and ready to fight. I wish our heroes had gotten more of a rest, but it is what it is at this point. I have faith that they will pull through! They’ve beaten everything thrown at them so far…well majority of them have at least. What do you think, Max Hedman? Want to place bets?

These tests are so brutal. I get that Auril is an evil goddess, but come on! Also these all seem very dependent on time frame. What happens if someone comes here in a week? Do they repeat these same tests? Probably not I would imagine. But then what are the tests?? It’s all so confusing. Right, Max Hedman?

I…I don’t know what to say. These tests were bad. Auril is not a good goddess. If our heroes weren’t heroes I’d be fine with everything. But they are. And those tests were ostensibly non-heroic. It’s just a lot to take in I think. Max Hedman, let’s go somewhere to contemplate everything.

Ukuma seems like such a kind soul, I hope our heroes don’t have to fight her at any point. Also what are these tests? They’re a little concerning, truth be told. Anything that is titled after a god frightens me. Right, Max Hedman?

Now it is finally time to enter the domain of Auril. What will our heroes find in Grimskalle? Nothing good, I can assure you. One can only hope they find what they are looking for! Right, Max Hedman?

What a harrowing fight! Our heroes truly are lucky, I’m not sure there are many who could have survived that altercation. Yet survive they did! And they will continue to survive as they go on to face the Frost Maiden herself…hopefully. I’ll be honest, Max Hedman, I’m getting nervous. I hope our party can do it. Can you play me something to help ease my nerves?
