Zhakata's Howl

As the heroes crossed the broken wasteland they sighted a lonely tent on the path.  As they approached a faint sobbing plea, "Help me, help me" sounded from the tent.  Seglun and Baru approached the closed front flap and opening it saw the contents ransacked and could see no one present.

In the Ashes

In the bowels of the temple Ralom was led to a cell where he found his compatriots.  They were all happy to be alive after the harrowing encounter with the Inquisition.  How they got here and why they were alive was incomprehensible to Grunyar.  He looked around for Dirk but at least that little fellow was unseen.

Arvien was fuming.  No food whatsoever, she began pondering eating her leather belt.  But no that was way below her.  Try and stay calm she thought.  How could anyone make a rule about FOOD like this.  That was completely illogical.  Boy am I hungry was all that rattled throughout her head.

Zhukar: City of Hunger

Varrid began to discuss the party's encounter with the unfortunate woman, telling Marda about her requests and relaying the circumstances of her death.  Marda responded,
"My half-sister Callian, alas I warned her not to run, but she was intent on escaping.  She wouldn't listen to my pleas."

Damn these fiends thought Grunyar as he merely ran past them into the next chamber.  There he quickly move to the north door, taking fire damage from the pillar of fire.  The rest of the party prepared for battle.  This didn't seem too hard but the fiends turned out to be incorporeal which meant that they were harder to actually hit.

Upon rising after a quick bite of food and the magic users memorizing spells the party entered the western room.  It was hot, but not too hot, as the party skirted the golden disc in the center of the chamber.  Ralom determined that the disc was magic, of type conjuration.  Baru stepped closer to the disc and could feel the heat emanating from the area of the disc.

Baru and Arvien were in the midst of a room with doors at each compass point.  But a pillar of fire surged to the ceiling in the center of the chamber.  The fire did damage no matter where they maneuvered in the room.  Meanwhile the rest of the party was still being randomly hit by lightning, even though most had disbelieved the storm itself.
