| Ampherd the new Magister of Potions |
On the rooftop of Hawkehelm Castle Ampherd and the rest ofthe magisters lead the characters into an empty chapel to regroup. A couple other attendees were lead into the
chapel along with the other rooftop survivors.
Battle could be heard echoing throughout the castle. Seeing that the castle was littered with broken
furniture and litter, the group decides to barricade themselves in the chapel
and discuss events. One of the new
roommates, El Guapo asks Ampherd if he had suspected his fathers possession or
transformation. Ampherd indicated he had
no advance warning but admitted he had noticed a change in his father since the
godsfall. Upon further questioning
Ampherd stated that Elazarin had a falling out with Velmaris and the brother of
Rylestrum, Ilthond, though he didn’t know the nature of their
disagreement. As the discussion dies
down the Magisters called an emergency meeting to appoint a new Magister of
Potions. Ampherd was put forth as the nominee
and a vote was held by placing stones in a bag, white for yes, black for
no. The motion was carried four to one
and Ampherd was elevated to his father’s former position.
Once the vote is complete, Ampherd expresses his concern
about the vaults in Castle Greystone as well as the deep druid Demeron who
supplies many of the raw materials Ampherd would require. His concerns would be expressed through action,
and he calls upon the Roommates to visit the druid and report back. It takes a couple hours for order to be
restored in Hawkehelm but soon after the Magisters supply the Roommates with
potions and alchemical items before returning to Greyskull. Once the Magisters depart a Silvertail Tengu
named Hess makes his presence known and begins speaking in Shadowtongue with
Dylan and eventually El Guapo. Hess provides
Dylan with a bag of equipment tricks and shares the knowledge that the Tengu share
a connection in shadow, a shadow that has ancient vampiric roots. He then provides El Guapo with the scabbard
that goes along with his sword. Hess
warns us that the ancient shadow is opposed by a group known as the
Necrophagists. The Tengu Hess explains
that should we discover a need for training we should just whisper to the
shadows and he will find us. All of the
shadow tongue discussion calls forth eight vile dark folk from the Shadowroad
and a short battle ensues during which Hess aids the Roommates with magical
spells that enhance each member.

After the battle, Hess departs via the Shadowroad and the
Roommates return to their quarters where Lucas is surprised by a half dozen
Myrmidons there to congratulate him on his completion of the Proving Grounds obstacle
course. An enjoyable celebration is had
before the characters enjoy a well deserved rest.
The next morning when the characters leave for the deep
druid’s territory, the characters see three teams of three man explorer teams.
With avalanches blocking many minor paths, these teams are going to appraise
the condition of the main trails out of the Dragonspine. Other
than some difficult terrain, travel to the underground is uneventful until the
characters reach the druid’s territory and the moldy shambling mound. The session ended with the Shambling Mound’s
defeat.
