Timeline

XI-XII

Overview

Closing in for the ruins of Rhest.

Mapping in

Alistar sent an arcane eye to spy ahead the huts. After sunset, the heroes closed in to the biggest of the huts and spent the night indoors.

Unexpected discovery inside the lizardfolk hut was a collection of maps, marked with House Tharask coat of arms and the sigil of lord Drevan. Nix secured the documents inside they map bag.

Next morning, secrecy was held up so that no one on the watch tower from the center of the lake could see you, until the Ghostlord appeared, to have his discussions again. He stayed in open and even waived to the guards, who quickly took a boat and started to close in towards your island.

The projected image of the Ghostlord disappeared and Nix took his place. The boat was manned by five hobgoblin soldiers and a captain. After asking to see Regiarix (in Ghostlord form), the hobgoblins backed off to guard you from outside of weapon / magic range and the captain flew back to their stronghold.

Lestra made a hole on the back of the hut and you escaped unseen. After a short strategy meeting you decided to split in two groups. Lestra, Nix and Onni would take advantage of the rings of swimming (=oSW) and magical breathing via amulet ("oMB) and potions (!oMB), while Alistar and Lute would have invisibility and water walking.

Developments

Closer to the center, the shallow lake (3 m / 20 ft) has submerged town structures and undead ghasts. Visibility is very bad (15 ft). Onnis turn undead was proven very effective method of creating a way to get forward, but the ghasts are numerous.

On the surface, the captain appeared from the town hall and started to fly back towards the island you had escaped unseen.

Onni has two turning attempts left for today.
