The Accursed City

So off to the Accursed City headed the heroes with Minja tagging along.  The distance was not far but the heat and humidity of Sri Raji was tiring.  Arvien was busily eating up all the food that Seglun had stored in the Handy Haversack.  The party would have to find a new food supply soon.

That Figures

The dense jungle seemed to close in on the worn road like some constricting snake attempting to crush its victim.  The air was thick with the smell of plants and heavy with humidity.  Pockets of mist drifted to and from between the plants that lined the road, moving almost as if they were living creatures.

Minja

As the sun hit the horizon, black clouds raced to fill the sky and thunder rolled across the land.   A great downpour followed, accompanied by a tremendous display of lightning and cacophonous thunder.  Shortly the storm passed and the skies cleared.  Stars were visible but no moon dominated the sky.

Welcome to the Jungle

.... Into the heat and humidity.  Having barely realized that Gregor was gone and the mists surrounded them, the party found themselves standing in a clearing of a lush tropical jungle.  The appressive heat and humidity quickly coated their bodies in sweat.

Dark of the Moon

Drovic cast the scroll of Finger of Death at Gregor but it fizzled at the end of his finger.  Baru lunged forward to attack Dmitri.  He recalled his inability to even scratch Gregor previously.  The rest of the battle, hitting the ground unconscious, he didn't recall at all.  Four more boyarsky entered the hall from the south end.

The Boyar's Hall

Seglun said that the wall was easy to climb as she clambered right up to the top.  "Follow me she yelled down."
Arvien, perturbed whispered' "A little quieter, please.  We are still trying to sneak in here."

Vorostokov

In the morning the party and Mikhail left the witches and headed toward Vorostokov.  The air was still bitter as the party headed out into the vast spaces of snow, ice and fir trees.  Night had settled over the land, which may have been a blessing.
