Bellowsong descended down a treacherous rope, careful not to lose their footing. As they reached the bottom, they encountered a daunting spider web obstructing their progress. Striog swiftly wielded his blade, slashing through the sticky threads, only to be ambushed by a giant spider. Caught in its web, Striog and Fizzle struggled to break free, while the arachnid lunged at them. Working together, they managed to vanquish the menacing creature using a combination of Ray of Frost, javelins, and crossbow bolts. Darryl stumbled upon a hidden treasure trove, discovering a gleaming shortsword and a much-needed healing potion.

Fizzle, always resourceful, took a moment to chew on one of the spider's legs, hoping it held some secret potency. Meanwhile, Striog valiantly hacked through the remaining webs, clearing a path for their advancement. The melodies of Fizzle's enchanting song echoed through the cavern, lifting their spirits and invigorating their hearts.
Striog boldly charged ahead, confronting a group of menacing kobolds head-on, who where trying to get into a steel cage, shimmering with the promise of treasure. The kobolds fell quickly. With Striog's brawn and Darryl's nimble fingers, they successfully bypassed the locks and eagerly discovered a small fortune of 200 silver pieces, along with a gleaming shortsword  +1.

Bellowsong approached a door in a narrow hall, triggering a trap and dropping stone blocks, Fizzle dodged them, while Striog and Darrly blocked them with their heads. In the ajdoining room was an altar that bellowed at them, “In my hands I judge the value of all wealth, raising up whichever is greater. One of these coins is a deception. Find it using only two judgments and receive my blessing.” Darrly and Fizzle sorted out the trick with the nine coins and solved the puzzle opening a stone door to a vault.

In the vault was a bunch of gears, a switch and some spy holes into another room. Fizzle figured out the switch was for a trap, activated it and lured the kobolds in the other room closer to the wall which triggered the trap hitting two of the kobolds.

The party entered the room and fought the kobolds with Striog almost being knocked out. One of the kobolds escaped.

With a loud roar a green wyrmling landed infront of Striog. 

Striog returned the roar, and the rest of the party began the assault. Fizzle landed twin critical hits. While Darryl was preparing to cast, thinking I can land the shot if, the dragon spewed out a poisonous cloud, killing him. Striog fell soon after looking at the dwarven blade and smiling as his light faded. Fizzle was left bleeding out and thinking of Flarp and all the knowledge he missed out on. Koin was the last one standing as the dragon's maw closed on him, he wonders what happens in the next life, I'm so tired.

Bellowsong made a run for it and got away for a time. They passed through areas they had been in before and used another secret passage to avoid the patrol. Gec got stuck in a fast closing door and got hit a few times before Torin and Ishkan pushed him through.

Bellowsong scouted the area more and decided to rest in the secret rooms. Ishkan located another secret passage while everyone else was resting, which Gec ended up shoving a sword into so he wouldn't get hit it. Bellowsong set out and found the room with fog in it again. While they where deciding what to do another patrol found them, with two more patrols joining the fight shortly after it started.

Bellowsong is fighting once again.

10:00am  

Bellowsong continued fighting the patrol. Ishkan flanked through the secret doors, and got assaulted by mutated acid spitting wolves and an arrow slinging werewolf. Ishkan saw the arrow of  his demise fly towards him, when it evaporated in white light. Iori asked Iaso to chose suffering or knowledge. Iaso choose suffering and was struct by a arrow of white light. His silver  manacle gained a new rune inscription. Torin stepped forward, unleashing a fireball catching, Ishkan and all enemies in its blast. Ishkan's reflexes saved him from being burned up. A wererat was to slow as the smell of burning hair and cooked meat filled the space.  Gec killed the werebear blocking the hall with a mighty blow and as Ishkan retreated, the wolves turned to Gec. Gec put up a valiant last stand defending his new friends, but was overcome by the wolves and killed. After the battle Iaso took one of Gec's fingers. Torin searched Gec's belongings finding a well worn waterskin with Gec's name scrawled on it and his battle axe.

The party rested after the battle and while Jerry was meditating he heard a shadowy voice whisper, "Come downstairs Jerry, Come get me Jerry, You need me Jerry, I'm waiting for you Jerry." 

11:30am 
 
After resting the party continued exploring finding a hall filled with pink glowing flowers, which stilled glowed after being picked. Ishkan asked Jerry to fashion him a lei of the flowers. The party made it back to the room with the foggy floor, finding the trap door after tossing wererats in the fog to check for traps. Everyone made the jump across the 10ft opening and found a unusual metal door that spoke when touched. Iaso touched the door and it said, "You don't have the right". Ishkan touched the door with Jerry and it said, "Pay the price". They refused and got shocked. Ishkan touched the door, agreed to pay the price and felt life force drain out of him. On the other side of the door was a enormous rat and two Drow guarding a door. Ishkan dove under the right, unleashed a flurry of blows and killed it. Torin rushed down the hall towards the guards, while Iaso and Jerry attacked from range. The guards fell quickly.

You are in the hall after a fight. You see two heavy wood doors, which do you choose.

11:30am 
 
Torin opened one of the doors and found a weretiger and drow warriors behind it. The weretiger slashed at Torin then took a bounding leap and bit Jerry on the shoulder/neck. Torin rushed the warriors and fought them while Ishkan and Jerry fought the weretiger.  Iaso rushed to help Torin and was cut down in a brutal fight. Iaso thought, "I should have trained harder", as he lost concisions. Ishkan ran down the hall to help Torin finish the last warrior. With their enemies defeated Torin poured a potion in Iaso's mouth reviving him. The party took time to mend wounds and look at the display cases. 

11:50am

Jerry tried to smash one open only for his weapon to bounce off it. Ishkan investigated the pillar stands and found hidden switches on the backside. Both case were opened and looted. While the party was deciding which way to go, Jerry reached out to the voice and it answered back, telling Jerry to come down, down, and down again.

Bellowsong headed down and fought wolves and werewovles. They now stand in a armory.

===== 29.2024.02.10 =====
=== 468-12-11 ===
11:50am  

Ishkan pointed out the trap door and the party jumped over it to investigate the armory where the werewolves were shooting from. A couple of weapons were found but left behind. Moving on the party found an altar room with several small marble alters, which they smashed, and Iaso picked up a minor sturdy shield that was laying next to one. 

12:10pm 

Bellowsong followed a blood trail into a large room with a high ceiling. Stone veins filled with blood flowed from the walls towards the center of the room where a giant statue of a Sicrai stood with its arms stretching up to the ceiling. Torin, Iaso and Jerry investigated it and conclude it was a summoning ritual gathering power from all the blood. Irori answered Iaso's call for divine help with, "Sweep the legs", impowering his shackles allowing Iaso to smash through the eight legs of the statue causing it to crash down, destroying it. Three monks rushed in and attacked the party, they were quickly beat down, with the last one releasing a fireball before dyeing from bleeding out.

Ishkan ran around and checked the other doors in the room. One was a shocking experience, as it was trapped. The party went through the south door into a prison room. Ishkan opened the next door with some force and voices began calling out for help and rescue. Bellowsong entered the room and found a ratfolk named Zin and a goblin named Nub. Zin turned out to be a former classmate the friend to Jerry. 

12:20pm  

The party decided to get the Zin and Nub out and back to Serenity Hollow. A plan was formed and put into action with Ishkan being a distraction to draw the door guards away so the rest of the party could run for it. Torin turned into a deer so Zin and Nub could ride on him. Ishkan rushes pass the guards drawing one way, Iaso goes next smashing open the first door and drawing the attention of the two remaining guards, Torin runs through the first door, smashes through the second and is out. Nub and Zin jump off and keep sprinting for the tree line. A guard moves to engage Iaso and block the door. Jerry runs, just making it through the guards blocking the doors. Iaso runs through the second door and is out. Ishakan runs past the guards and is out. The party begins running for the tree line. Torin deer makes with Zin and Nub, Ishkan makes it, Iaso is spiriting, Jerry is in the rear, pauses to cast a spell. The guards, catch up. Iaso is sprinting, looks back and sees a weretiger pickup the still breathing Jerry. Iaso makes it out.

Torin arrives at the cave first, 10 mins later Ishkan arrives. 20 mins later Iaso arrives.

2:00pm  
Torin, Nub and Zin arrive at the cave first, 10 mins later Ishkan arrives. 20 mins later Iaso arrives. Iaso reports that Jerry stopped to cast a spell and was captured. The party interrogate Zin and Nub for any info they can about the tower. They decide to rest for an hour and then headback to Crow's Beacon to try and rescue Jerry.

Mean while, Jerry awakes to find a himself in a silver barred cage and a cleric and werebear staring at him. The werebear sniffs Jerry and says, "You will be one of us soon, I can smell the curse on you." Jerry learns he will change in nine days on the next full moon as he engages in small talk with Lars, the werebear. Soon after a Sicarii priestess arrives guarded by two shadowy female figures.  The Sicarii priestess,  unnaturally beautiful and attractive, with an aura of authority and hubris speaks with voice that brings pleasure, "Aw one of the trouble makers. What do you call yourself? You may call me master or priestess." She interrogates Jerry, shocking his mind when he didn't behave. When she was satisfied the priestess began burning, electrocuting, bleeding, and torturing Jerry. When he was near to death, the cleric would restoring him. Each time the priestess would ask Jerry to serve her and it could all stop, he refused, and cycle would begin again. This went on for over an hour, the whole time she had a big smile on her face enjoying every moment.

5:30pm  
Sometime later Jerry awoke in a pile of his own blood, feces, piss and vomit, and he his patron whispered, "Jerry join me, serve me fully and I will save you." Jerry agreed and he immediately began changing into a massive black and white shadowy weretiger. His body pressed against the silver bars, burning him, but they gave way exploding outward. Jerry felt immense power and hunger for flesh. He killed Lars and consumed some of his flesh, with encouragement from his patron. He charged through a door, engaged with another weretiger killed it, dragged it to the pool and began feasting.

A few minutes later, the door burst open and Jerry's companions rushed into the room. They began to charge towards him, but he yelled and began to change back into his old form. Not sure what to make of this they halted and started talking. They all noticed the two sets of 7 dots, like fingers stabbing in, under his eyes. Jerry was debriefed, sharing what he learned and that his patron told him to come get him on the third floor basement.

The party was on the move again and found a room filled with scrolls, books, and letters. They began gathering very important information.

6:00pm

Bellowsong searched through the room finding correspondence between Head Priestess Coraura and three priestess, Kiasis, Vilenta, Kearis. The party learned of three fronts the Sicarrii are moving on. The survivors from Thedas who slayed their sister Yona, The Eldertree Grove dwarfs, and Kald.

Heading down, Bellowsong encountered some creatures and swiftly dispatched them and then Jerry created ghosts from their corpses. Ishkan found a secret door, leading into a room filled with wererats and  giant rats. Two of the wererats ran for it, with one running through a door and getting blown up by a fireball. Jerry chased the other one landing the killing blow as he leaped past through the door. He landed on the floor triggering a trap causing the door to slam shot and a fireball rune to activate. After a couple more fireballs Jerry final ran away from the door. Ishkan reopened the door disabling the door. Ishkan looked through the door, say a fancy bag and a framed coin in the corner and made a run for them, grabbed them and got to safety with only a few scorch marks and flames. Isao ran for it and caught a fireball. Torin turned into a fly and safely flew through the area. The items Ishkan grabbed turned out to be a bag of holding and a magic silver coin. After a breather and medical attention provided by Iaso, the party moved down the long hallway finding stairs down. 

===== 32.2024.03.02 =====
=== 468-12-11 ===
The party headed down to the second basement floor and it started to get weird. The ceiling was vegetables planted in the ceiling’s soil, upside down. Wooden ladders fold down allowing the vegetables to be reached. The floor is made from a thick sheet of glass, slightly greenish in hue.  The walls are a thick, blue sheet of solid ice that strongly radiates cold for some distance. The ice almost appears to be glowing. Torin picked some vegetables after asking them for permission. The first room was a museum of bad jokes and handheld farm tools all made of precious and semi-precious metals and gems. Torin found a trapdoor to a slide. After some investigating with Jerry's familiar, Ishkan and Torin shoved a statue down the slide. After checking for a smashed statue with Jerry's familiar, Torin jumped down the slide, Ishkan quickly followed and after a buff Iaso followed with Jerry brining up the rear. 

At the end of the slide was a portal, it swirled like pulpy bone and indigo colored orange juice. The portal was counting up, quietly. After some investigation of the room and examining the double black doors with a silver maze embossed on them a large fiery creature appeared behind them asking if they would enter the maze for great prizes. Iaso and Jerry entered and Ishkan and Torin followed after trying to get more info out of the creature. Once in the maze Bellowsong started exploring and soon found chests which had traps defending them. One chest was defended by a very nasty ghostly choir that knocked out Ishkan and Jerry. Iaso tried to silence them with a ritual and failed getting attacked. Torin shifted to a bear and drug Ishkan out of danger and then proceeded to lay on him while Iaso healed him. The same procedure was done to Jerry as Iaso healed him.  After getting healed Ishkan dashed back into the trap, opened the chest and scooped out all the items, all while getting assaulted by the ghostly choir, before he made it back to safety.

Bellowsong continued exploring the maze. After much pain, ghostly choirs, spinning blade columns, gas and a wheel of misfortune, the party was ready to leave and made a deal with Scorchis to leave. Ishkan requested a way to contact Scorchis and was rewarded with a molten fire bracelet. Scorchis offered to take the party to one of his homes to rest. They had a choice to between fire and heat or starry sky. The party chose starry sky. Scorchis asked everyone to joins hands and with some spoken words of power Bellowsong teleported.

9pm   
You find your self on the balcony of a brass palace looking out into open space. An aqua sun dominates your view, looking left or right and up you realize you are on a large ring, about a mile in diameter, covered in thick mist and swirling leaves. You can see other buildings sticking above the mist. You hear the clop of horse hooves behind you, turning you see a ten foot tall mechanical horse made of thousands of intricate metal gears, springs, and its main and tail are made of light. It's whole body emits a peaceful faint light. It bows to Scorchis and speaks with a deep, Jamaican voice:. "Welcome back Lord Scorchis. I see you brought guests. They must be exceptionally gifted." Scorchis replies, "Yes, they have proven entertaining and cunning. (Looks at party) Guests this is my regent Luminara Swiftmane." Swiftmane bows. Scorchis, "Welcome to The Azure and my land Lutra."

The party stood in awe for a minute. Jerry, brokedown as the past 16 hours came crashing down and was guided to guest room to sleep by Hoofgleam. The rest of the party to excited to sleep set off to exploring with their chaperon Shining Steedlight, a 12 foot tall, four armed, centaur with a horse head. They traveled to the main tower, got food, saw more strange beings, visited a animal vendor named Luminous Maneblaze and the "blacksmith" Bright Tailflare. Scorchis authorized them to create one item created for each of you. Iaso orderd a suit of armor, Ishkan new wraps and Torrin a shoulder cannon / saddle backpack. 

After the blacksmith the party rode on Steedlight, who took a shortcut by jumping from the top the city center to the palace across the center of the ring. The party experience zero g for several minutes. Steedlight will meet them with food once they wake up in the morning.

7am 
Bellowsong awakes at 7am on 468-12-12 after a much needed rest. Ishkan stretches, while Iaso and Torin fill Jerry in on what happened while he was sleeping. Torin steps out of the room to find someone to contact Steedlight and finds Hoofgleam waiting across the hall, so Torin ask them to contact Steedlight. Steedlight arrives around 8am bringing an feast. Steedlight asks how the party slept and if they had any dreams. The party asks where to find info and Steedlight mentions the Gleamlight Repository and head archivist Gleamstride. After breakfast and on their way to the tower, Steedlight mentions gifts from Scorshis are not without cost and Scorchis can hurt them.

Bellowsong arrives at the Gleamlight Repository and meets Gleemstride, a centaur variant with copper mane and tail. They begin talking with Gleamstride and are soon offered to be scanned and added to the archive. Iaso, Torrin, and Ishkan get scanned without hesitation. Jerry refuses. Bellowsong learns much about the Mechalumes, including, they have no access to magic, they are all connected to each other, others can be made into mechalumes with resoruces gathered in The Azure, knowledge can be implanted with the correct tech, they can replay memories of scanned beings, they used to be able to change form, they traveled outside of their planet, they could build a teleporter if they had the plans and elements.

If that was enough they also learned about the Machine God, who created their bodies, and their technologies. It fled into space when they fell to the Sicarii. Its knowledge is stored in containers called holocrons. Much of the Mechalumes knowledge is lost and scattered on their planet or potentially with other survivors. The party learned someone named Rah'thul brought them here to The Azure and is rallying allies to combat the Sicarri. Learned the Sicarri invaded from space.

The party also learned about the ten heavy elements, syvle, fluor, lustral, lode, citrile, iridine, lazul, nephrum, vitra, and phire, of The Azure and Orcery, the art and science of manipulating the ten Heavy Elements.

After all this Jerry decided to get scanned, learning the Mechlumes could fully restore his physical body, removing the fletchling and werewolf parts. After more talking Jerry had his memories scanned to learn what happened in the Shadowplane when he met his patron. The party watches the memory and Jerry learns he agreed to bear the mark of his patron in the future for help out of the Shadowplane. Iaso tells him who his patron is, Nhimbaloth (The Empty Death). Jerry is confronted with a very tough choice, and Nhimbaloth is constantly whispering in his ear.

Iaso got two copies of the Mechlumes history of their battle against the Sicraii and Jerry got a copy of his old wizard spellbook. The books are made of Mechalume tech.

Bellowsong is know considered allies of the Mechlumes and are receiving communication implants.

The party arrived at Radiant Biotech was greeted by Sparkstride (centaur, cobalt mane/tail) and Iaso, Ishkan and Torin had the coms device implanted under their skin. Next Jerry entered a surgery room and Sparkstride began to remove the marks of his patron, Nhimbaloth (The Empty Death). As the removed proceed Nhimbaloth pushed into Jerry's mind, forcing him to transform and attack the party. Ishkan took the brunt of the attack and Torin transformed into a bear and grabbed Jerry. Sparkstride and Steedlight looked ready to intervein but Iaso told them to hold. After a few more blows were traded Jerry was able to reassert his control and Sparkstride moved in to secured Jerry with three of their arms while finishing the removal of Nhimbaloth's marks. Jerry lost control near the end and trying to claw and bite Sparkstride, ineffectivaley before break out of their grip and attacking the party once again. This time Iaso, Ishkan, and Torin did not hold back and with some blows from Sparkstride, Jerry was knocked out and the surgery was finished. Iaso, revived Jerry, who was able to reassert control a moment after revival. After this the party discussed options and Jerry decided to find the ring in Crow's Beacon and destroy it.

Steedlight took them to the top of the city center and Jerry with some coaxing  Steedlight and the party made the jump to the palace, experiencing zero-gs and watched Steedlight and the party pass by before landing on the palace balcony. 

The party talked with Steedlight and Swiftmane about blowing the tower up, which the Mechalumes agreed to provide a device only if a Mechalume could deliver it. Iaso contacted Gleamstride and got two more books printed. One which contains the complete anatomy for humans, dwarfs, and lizardfolk. The second was about the blight and the Mechalumes war against it. Gleamstride hand delivered them and the party talked more about destroying the tower and if Scorchis would even allow a Mechalume to leave The Azure. The party also learned more about Scorchis and his  unwanted rule over the Mechalumes.

6pm
After finishing talking with Steedlight, Swiftmane, and Gleamastride, Sorchis was summoned to return them back to the tower. They teleported and the party found themselves in the maze again and the smiling face of Scorchis looking down at them. The party ventured further opening a few chests, which went pretty good till Ishkan was blinded by a particularly nasty trap.

The Bellowsong continued working their way through Scorchis' maze of loot and pain. Paying with much blood and pain Ishkan and Jerry looted many chests through slashing blades, poison gas, freezing mist,  wheels of misery and everyones favorite ghostly choirs. Ishakan asked Scorchis for a bonus if he was struck with many kinds of damage and Scorchis agreed. The party found the exit, but before they left Ishkan asked Scorchis' to hit him so he could get his prize. Scorchis started belly laughing and blasted Ishkan with two hits knocking him out. Iaso restored him and Ishkan collected his bonus prize of a corrosive rune and lightning javelin. On exiting the portal the parties aliments were cured and Scorchis' asked if they wanted to enter a new challenge. This was declined and Scorchis disappeared. The party started exploring the floor they are on looking for a place to rest.

The party continued exploring and found four anti paladins on patrol. The party set an ambush with Torin springing the trap with a blast of lightning the enemy quickly fell. Bellowsong searched the bodies and then rested before moving on. A massive room with two feet of warm oil was encountered which Iaso tried to light on fire. The party circled back and found stairs down and proceeded deeper into the ground. Torin kicked open a door revealing another room with two feet of oil covering the floor and seven foot tall very slender crystalline create rushed at them screeching. It was fell quickly but another two came through the door before Ishkan rushed into the room spotting a portal, a large book and a towering alchemical golem. The golem activated, Ishkan sprinted forward grabbed the book, which caused the portal to collapse, and rushed back out of the room with the golem in pursuit.

A terrible battle began. Torin transformed into a bear, Ishkan attached the Mechlumes saddle and started blasting the golem from Torin's back. Torin charged forward. The golem threw bombs and injected enemies it hit, while the last crystalline creature almost knocked Iaso out of the fight after Jerry left him to fight the golem. The party took heavy hits from the golem with Jerry getting knocked out, Iaso trying to heal and defend himself from the crystal beast. Torin and Ishkan finally finished off the golem, with Ishkan landing the final blows as he leapt from Torin's back.

9pm

Bellowsong backed up into safe area and spent time healing and deciding what do to with Jerry's body. After a bit of exploring the party hid Jerry's body in a utility room and locked the door. Moving north Ishkan overheard conversation through a door. After a bit of listening Ishkan walked in and was greeted by two human looking people. Ishkan talked to Tod and Arthur and convinced them he was a new recruit who just arrived. Ishkan talked to Todd and Arthur, learned where food was and took off to get  some. Torin and Iaso waited in the in the hall. Ishkan found the food and more similarly dressed and friendly people. He ended up making several trips to bring food and beer for Arthur and Todd, trying to get them drunk, while engaging in conversation, learning a little bit about these people. Tod's questions got more pointed as he grew suspicious of Ishkan's answers. Iaso barged in and reprimanding Ishkan for getting lost and promptly blasted the passed out Arthur with magic. Tod called out for help and a fight began. Torin bear charged in slashing at Tod, the sleeping quarters door slammed open and Morgan stepped out and cast calm emotions on the party after some back and forth and no violet actions taken by the servants, Bellowsong gave in to their demands to be taken to get cleaned up and meet the bosses for jobs the following day. 

While the party was resting, eating, looking around massive sauna pool room, the door gate on the wall activated and a servant was stepping through when a arrow jutted out of his face, and hyena laughter could be heard, rushing through the portal into the room was 6'5" wiry, dark haired gnoll, with a shaggy mohawk and green glowing bow. The gnoll shouted G'day mates and unleashed a withering volley of arrows into the two servants standing watch. The party quickly sprung into action helped kill the two servants. The gnoll, speaking in an Australian accent, introduced himself as Shadowy Needle of Gifts, or Needle for short. He stepped over to the servant who came into the portal and chewed its arm off at the elbow. When ask why, he laughed, walked over to the door gate which started to glow and touched some symbols and said I need this bracelet to get back to the Hell Steppe when I'm done here. Needle explained that he was hunting these people because clanmates would go with them and not comeback. He's here to scout and kill. Then he asked the party if they wish to leave or help him. Bellowsong decided to help.

The party proceeded to explore the floor, killing a couple more of the servants, and talked to one to find more bracelets to let them leave. Behind the frost wall was a giant troll, which swiftly woke up and attacked the party, downing Ishkan. After a quick, but intense fight the troll was slain and Needle began skinning the troll to craft into another troll hide armor. The party took a rest and it is now 12am on 468-12-13 of Veiled 

===== 42.2024.06.08 =====
=== 468-12-13 ===
The rested party jumps through the freezing mist wall and proceeds to find the servants to summon their bosses. The servants go to summon the bosses leaving the party in the  main room. 
The bosses arrive and demand the party to choose who they would go with. Torin walked up to the closest one and was immediately grabbed. After a few seconds of non action by the others, the bosses attempted to compel them to choose through magic. That failed and Needle started shooting. Ishkan and Iaso finally sprang into action and the fight was on. The bosses where slain and Needle collected some trophies and meat for later. The servants came back and were overcome with grief and rage and rushed the party attacking with clawed hands. They were quickly slain and the party quickly made for the stairs down. 

Traveling down the stairs a foul smell of rotten fat filled the air as a large blob moved towards them. Torrin rushed forward, landing several hammer blows before getting engulfed by the blob. The blob moved forward attacking the rest of the party. A few seconds later a muffled explosion from within the expanded blob, ejected a scorched Torrin. Ishkan was engulfed next, but pulverized the blob from within killing it.

The party continued exploring the new floor when Ishkan fell down a trapped door into a spiked pit. He looked around and found a hidden passage that led to a grate which looks down into the next floor.

The party found a massive library with two life sized dragons sculpted out of bronze with many books from the preshattering era. They spent half the day putting all the books into a bag of holding, including the index. Once that was completed they continued exploring and found a podium with a circuit puzzle mounted in it. Above the podium was a mounted dragon head. The party solved the puzzle and became trapped in the room and the dragon spoke to them and asked them four riddles. The party got all of them right, while suffering through a few wrong answers, which were rewarded by electric dragons breath of the talking dragon head. Upon completing the riddles the two bronze dragons, Auros and Solara, were freed and after talking with the party have decided to help the party handle the tower and free their wizard friend, Elaran, who is likely trapped below. The dragons asked if the party had met Miquil, which they responding with a no, so the dragons informed the party they must head to the fourth floor to get Miquil. The party rode the dragons to the location of Miquil and found them bound in cage of energy. They party was able to turn off the powering crystals by reaching through the mirrors near by. This freed Miquil from their prison. Miquil read Iaso's mind after getting permission and learned of what is going on and has agreed to help the party with the tower and the Mechalumes.

After freeing Miquil and talking with them the party choose the fastest route to free Elaran. The party mounted up and head down the black whole and after passing through a portal appeared in a garbage room. The garbage was gaured by a great iron golem, but Miquil commanded it to be still and it returned to its post. Heading north the party encountered followers of Morgaroth, who were spectating a boxing match, between two of there members, when Miquil let out a blast of divine power kill all but the leader. Ishkan rushed forward and subdued the leader for questioning. The party learned that the prison was being guarded by nightmarish undead creatures. Ishkan dragged the leader with him and used them for a meat shield. Miquil smashed the door down and Ishkan took the lead. The instant the party was spotted the guards raised the alarm and several more creatures rushed out. Auros and Ishkan rushed in, followed by Miquil, Torin and Iaso. Solara with Needles on her back held the rear. Lightning flew, fist and claws clashed and heads were bitten off before the battle ended with a victorious party. After a quick breather the party proceeded through the locked door after Ishkan picked the locks.

Inside they found Elaran encased in an energy field and suspended by four energy beams. The outer field was defeated by breaking the projecting crystal, but the four iron encased crystals proved to be a challenged after much hammering by fist and hammer, Torin was able to pry it open to reveal the crystal inside. After some discuss everyone backed up and Ishkan pulled it with a flurry of blowns. The crytsal cracked, shattered, imploded and released a massive wave of energy nearly killing everyone. Iaso rushed over to Elaran worried they had just killed him, he was in bad shape to alive. After much healing provided by Iaso and Torin the party talked of a few minutes and are making there way to the teleportation chamber.

=== 468-12-13 ===
The party continued through the tower heading for the teleportation room. Along the way they encountered a few foul creatures, dispatching them with extreme prejudice, before arriving in the hidden teleportation chamber. Elaran spoke, awaking the dwarven runes and teleporting them out of Crow's Beacon. On arrival they saw nothing but bright light, their bodies compressed, held immobilized and heard "Unauthorized entry, lock down initiated." After identifying themselves the party is greeted by Major Sackville and Iaso, Ishkan, and Torin are escorted to meet with 
Colonel Nugouz while their companions are held in the teleportation chamber. During the debriefing a shadowy faded door appears in the wall and The Scroll steps through. The party talks more with them, turns over the bag of holding filled with books to be added the archive, and they are granted access to the archives and portal room. The party is sworn to secrecy about the portal. The Scroll opens a new shadowy faded door and tells the party DO NOT leave the path nor answer the call of any beings and the party moves through The Fade and appears in the lobby of the Ironspire were they are reunited with their companions. The twin dragons, Auros and Sora go flying and Elaran, guarded by Farsal goes walking. The Scroll tells the party the will be meeting with the council in the morning. The party took baths, and then went out for dinner at the The Lizard and Goblin before going  to sleep in provide rooms.

Early the next morning, Iaso, Ishkan and Torin, were fetched by a messenger and took to the top of the Ironspire to meet Bellowsongs leadership, The Council. They arrived at the top of the tower greeted by a 360 panarama of the surrounding land and a curved table. Sitting at the table, talking amongst themselves, was a dwarf, smoking a bone pipe, a human covered in dark tribal tattoos and braided hair, a huge human, bare arms covered in scars, and The Scroll with their piercing green eyes. All of them have a faint torc like ring of light around their necks. The Scroll introduces them as The Lute, The Shadow, and The Hammer.

Iaso, Ishkan and Torin begin relating everything they have learned about the tower and its occupants and are told Bellowsong will be taking the tower for its own purposes. Battle plans are being drawn up and discussed.


You're all are still in the meeting.
