the 27th day of the 11th month - the 6th day of the 12th month 1372
The heroes flew on their mounts to Rilm to meet Morcarat. They were welcomed into the tower of ice by her daughters and given audience with Morcarat herself. Morcarat confirmed that she had a great task for them, and it seemed that Carwellan spoke true about Morcarat's aims. The Ice Queen wished to send the heroes through the phlostigen onto the Astral plane to seek Carwellan's pocket dimension. She confirmed that she indeed wanted Carwellan dead, but did not reveal her motives.
The heroes stayed the night in the tower and took the opportunity to explore a bit. They found corridors and rooms filled with glassy eyes, perhaps scrying devices. They were careful not to climb too high beyond the fortress on the 5th level.
The heroes returned to Tandis and arrived at Harrowhoff for the first time in months. They found the domain in turmoil. People from the growing population had been going missing in the night, bodies had been unearthed from graves, and two of Fillip's knights, Hugo la'Pegasse and Tod o' Tandis, were missing after delving into the dungeon.
The heroes investigated a recently plundered gravesite, and there met two rogues who were attempting to steal a body. They caught these men who led them to ambush their masters, foul lizardmen from the Cult of Demogorgon. They slew the lizards and followed some more into the secret cave leading to the 5th deep.
Over the next week Visefrin communed with the gods.
Where in her castle does Morcarat keep the Libram of Kryon?
It is in a secret vault on the tower's 9th level
Who did the Evil High Priest serve?
He, and more like him, serve Lord Galarak, a powerful agent of chaos.
Would Carwellan suspect a double-cross?
It will be difficult to conceal the truth from one such as him.
As the week progressed, more foul rumors emerged, and disturbing reports trickled into Harrowhoff
