In this episode, our heroes confront the mighty Tas'Nerâkh in her tower, moving up to the third floor. Tas'Nerâkh threatens the party with a massive deadly beast, but some quick thought from Apollo reduces the threat, banishing the creature to another plane. Chasing Tas'Nerâkh up to the roof of her tower, the fight begins, and it eventually comes down to the wire, with Apollo about to be hurled from the roof of the tower onto the jagged spikes below. Straldra manages to convince Tas'Nerâkh to lay down her arms in a sudden moment of powerful emotional appeal, and now comes the hardest part: deciding what to do with a high-ranking member of The Invader's forces.

WARNING: CONTAINS EXCESSIVE HIGH ROLLS FROM OUR PLANAR SNIPER YET AGAIN, INCLUDING AN ATTACK WHICH ALMOST BECAME 4 CRITS

The party continues up the spire, finishing off the warriors on the first floor and making their way to the second, finding only a group of hardened Invader Blade-Weavers standing in their way.  In a moment of pure luck that could have only been divinely inspired, Atla takes aim with her gun and mortally wounds one, killing two others. Finishing off the last one, the group takes a moment to catch their breath and plan what to do next, observing all possible routes of entry.

Kicking down the door, our adventurers are greeted with a strange sight and sound: An Invader who can speak in Common. For Talo'Sir, who was confined with nothing better to do for a long period a while back, it makes sense for him to have picked up the language. For this newly met Invader, there is no reason for her to know Common. She ascends the steps to the next floor, leaving the party to handle six of her accomplices, whom the party eagerly begins the work of carving to pieces. 

WARNING: CONTAINS AN ATTEMPT TO GET THE ENEMY TO AGREE TO A SMOKE SESH 

Continuing through the fortress, the party begins to near the end of their internal siege, choosing to directly confront the defending Invaders rather than hide from them. Tearing through their ranks in bursts of blood, bone, and death, the party also realizes they made a mistake. Having accidentally orphaned an Invader child, they decide to shut them in a room, commit murder, and come back to them later. They stumble across a set of large double doors, quickly subdue the guards, and prepare to enter. 

WARNING: CONTAINS EXCESSIVELY ODD OOC CHATTER

Our group continues their methodic siege on the outpost near Ramshackle,  finishing off the south wall guard and dropping down into the complex below. With the use of crafty magic and some surprise tactics, they manage to clear two rooms, but the guards have been alerted and time is running out to hide. 

WARNING: Contains excessive failures of INT Saves

In this episode, our heroes begin an assault on the stronghold of Ramshackle, determined to clear it and use it as a secondary safe haven. They are faced with the daunting task of subverting the watch and sneaking into the heavily guarded fortress. From this point, they will have the attention of The Invaders, and there is no going back.

Returning from their excursion to the catacombs beneath Ramshackle, our heroes take some time to study their new gains and plan what to do next. They return to a now much livelier Mazli, finding the townspeople hard at work building a wall to guard their next project: A farm protected from Formers. Deciding to help them out, some of them revisited a trench dug long ago, placing spikes to prevent Formers from jumping the gap. Also accomplished during this same period was the gathering of plants to be grown at the farm, the crafting of several magic items, and the beginnings of plans to return to Ramshackle, find the Invader stronghold, and deal with it once and for all.

WARNING: Contains excessive use of downtime to produce items which I had to google.

In this episode, through a trapdoor in the floor of a tavern in Ramshackle, our adventurers have found their way into The Forgotten Depths, an ancient Dwarven city beneath Ramshackle that holds more than meets the eye. However, our group goes the other way, to fight a dragon and claim an amulet it holds in its hoard. Maybe they'll return later. WARNING: CONTAINS EXCESSIVELY ODD USES OF WILDSHAPE.

In this episode, the party continues through the Gallwess mines, using what the rats knew to approach the second Stalker. What they don't know is that this one knows they are coming. Will they triumph, or will its natural cunning prevail? Should they succeed, this will mean their goal of a self-sustaining Mazli Stronghold will have been realized. If they fail, they will bleed away in the depths of the earth, unsung and nameless. Although two of them separated pose no threat, the realization that Stalkers may be a more common threat in the years to come holds a certain dread. WARNING: Contains excessive use of G U N

In this session the party finds themselves tasked with removing a creature which is stalking them as they chase it through a set of abandoned mines in the Andregh Hills region. Will they find it red-handed and cornered? Or will they find it red-handed when a blade of bone slides through their chest? WARNING: CONTAINS USING SPEAK WITH ANIMALS TO BEFRIEND RATS.
