With Lotes' fate still unknown to the party, they are thrown into chaos as they frantically search for their missing member and the now-possessed Petran.

As chaos consumes the battlefield, the party must work separately to try and minimize harm, but the realization they are met with is much greater than they ever could have predicted.

The stage is set, the plans are in motion, and the enemy is on the way. The party is on high alert as the Empire and Westwood collide.

Managing to deliver a fairly swift blow against the Stonekeeper Empire, the party prepares for the main event, and some of the members get tangled up in a rather dubious plan.

Spurred on by Twink, the party decides it's time to go on the offensive and cut off the Empire's weapon before it can reach Sanctuary. But are their efforts calculated enough to guarantee everyone's safety?

As the party ventures further in an attempt to find Arlashna's orb of power, they are faced with a trial that they all hoped they never would encounter.

The search for Arlashna's relic begins as the party enters the ruins of Seauhleich, a city in the Westwood destroyed years prior. However, as their journey begins to unfold, an unforeseen complication arises.

Finally given a moment to breathe, Doc seeks out those affected by the prior night's attack while the rest of the party mingles with the citizens of Sanctuary.

The party reels from the aftermath of the Empire's aggressive push on the front and haunting discoveries are made as the night marches on.
