Session 124

Heroes (lvl 18): Amani, Deet, Gunnar, Hassan, Regall, Ryel

677 Winter

The allied armies advance across the Black Plain, but the Gorgon’s forces make their final stand before Kal-Saitharak. The Heroes are confronted by a host of fire giants, and a brutal battle erupts across the blackened plain. After a hard-fought struggle, the giants are defeated.

With the way cleared, the armies reach the immense walls of Kal-Saitharak.

There is little time to prepare. The Hand of Azrai arrives before the assembled forces and demands the Heroes surrender. They refuse, unwilling to bow to the Gorgon or his master.

As the siege begins, the Heroes discover that the fortress is protected by more than stone. The Defensive Black Towers are channeling powerful magic into the walls, reinforcing them against the allied siege engines and making a conventional assault nearly useless.

The Heroes realize that the towers themselves must fall before the walls can be breached. They begin planning an assault on the Defensive Black Towers.

The next battle will begin there.
