A Land Torn Asunder

"We are not in Paridon anymore" declared Ralom as the party found themselves surrounded by a dark forest of gigantic, mossy gray firs.  The whole party was weary as they plodded forward along a narrow path.  The sun was shining brightly high in the sky.  "What terrors are we liable to find here?" wondered Arvien.

The Bloody Blade

Arvien was in a hurry to find the blade, so she entered the foyer, Baru and Drovic followed presently.  There were double doors leading north which Baru threw open.  Arvien moved into the hallway, which had a door on the left halfway to where the hall turned to the west.   The floor of the hall was covered with scarlet carpeting.  Plants, statues and painting lined the corridor.  Arvien and Seglun moved up to the turn in the hall.  Ralom listened at the door to the west while Baru waited at the foyer.

Hunter and Prey

The party was spread out around the coach house looking for a way into the grounds of Bloodhaven estate.  Varrid and Drovic started up the stairs, while Grunyar continued hammering away at the door in the dining room.  Suddenly Arvien screamed as she was attacked from the rear in the stables.
