Session 96 - Tilverton Cleared of Shades, Still in Shadow
Divine Fortune power up, and then head straight for the ruined keep in Tilverton where they know that the remaining three leaders, and possibly Ioucaldia will be waiting.
There are a few barriers to entry, but nothing too difficult for Divine Fortune. First, a wall of eyes that simply watches them, but Dwertern simply hacks it to pieces. Second, damning darkness to an extent not seen before, but Peccables Celestially brilliant stones protect them all. Finally, there is another spell of Forbiddance, which Peccable dispels once again.
Next, Ibis creeps down, more invisible than invisible and checks the lay of the makeshift temple to Shar at the bottom of the ruined keep. Taedor scopes it fully using True Sight through Arcane eyes. They spy their three adversaries-to-be in the darkness below.
Jill creates the illusion of a bumbling party creeping into the temple, while the rest creep in, either hidden, or invisible, or both. The plan works well, the baited Mage and Cleric let loose huge spells at the illusion only to discover their resources wasted.
The battle goes well from then, with a few tense moments as the mercenary leader puts up some fierce resistance, putting Peccable to the ground, and nearly Taedor.
After the temple is quiet again, DF spend some time cleaning the presence of Shar from the large room, and disintegrate her shadow alter. Outside on the material plane, the dome of shadow starts to shrink.
Ioucaldia, the powerful shade cleric makes a final brief appearance to ask Divine Fortune's name and to give them notice as being enemies of the state of the City of Shade and her dominion.
