Sorin leapt off the Devil's Tower and fell in slow motion because of his flight spell. Lisette followed him, falling equally slowly. She managed to encapsulate Sorin in a resilient sphere spell and followed him down.

Meanwhile, the rest of the Company was flying under their own power (with Arul carrying Mart and Blackpaw following on the ground) up the face of the Devil's Tower some two...

The Company sent Sorin ahead to scout again. Once again he was flying, invisible and could see in the dark. He saw that there was a small group of soldiers at the bottom of the elevator. He flew past something in the dark, which he only glimpsed from the corner of his eye. When he approached the top of the tower, a magical alarm sounded. Sorin flew back and watched as armed guards stood in the torchlight and looked for him in vain. When the woman...

After passing the gauntlet of undeath, the Company came at last to a chamber that was clearly a crypt. It's occupant sat on a throne at the far end of a dusty room, a gnarled staff across it's lap. "You dare to disturb the sleep of Narros the Unmaker?" it demanded. "Then you must serve me in undeath!" The Company could see that Narros was shielded by a two auras: a close-fitting blue aura they knew as protective field and...

After traversing miles of Ghul's Labyrinth, traipsing through musty tunnels and moldy passageways, the Company came to a door marked on its map as part of the route towards the White Citadel. Beyond the door, the architecture was much the same, but smaller and more confined. They came upon a room in which stood a single huge column, engraved with bones and skulls. Sorin noticed that the bones were glistening wetly, and the party approached with unease. Then the "column"...

18th of Toil

Before the Company of the Vallis Moon set out, a shining knight arrived at Pythoness House from the Pale Tower, bearing gifts. In gratitude for the heroic rescue of the angel Falstef from the Dark Reliquary, the Malkuth sent each member of the Company a special token of thanks. Sorin received a magical cloak designed to prevent him from harm. Arul received a gorgeous suit of armor perfectly crafted to fit him. Raelin received a...

Over the next few weeks, as Goro created potions and scrolls and Khayman saw after creating a new vault in the caverns below Pythoness House, Sorin got to know Calista a bit better. He revealed that he believed her to be his daughter, and told her about his affair with her mother, Istelle.

Calista told Sorin that she had few memories of her mother. She had been kidnaped at an early age by the Fallen and had lived her entire life in the Dark Reliquary with only demons and undead...

Thinking his companions were dead or worse in the Dark Reliquary, Goro hurried to the Pale Tower. There, he was greeted as a conquering hero for freeing the legendary Falstef, one of the very first celestials ever to enter Praemal and thought dead long since. Brushing off the praise, Goro told Aoska about what had transpired in the Dark Reliquary. "I know you won't help break them free," he said bitterly. "But can you do

Meanwhile, Goro had used a dimensional door spell to escape from the Dark Reliquary, along with the young woman Calista and the injured celestial Falstef. Once away from immediate danger he teleported both directly to Pythoness House. Or tried to. The Legacy had other ideas and the three wound up in the middle of Toner Street outside of Pythoness House. That's when Goro heard the screams and smelled the flames. Pythoness House was under...

The Company of the Vallis Moon, as well as four paladins of the Order of the Dawn, returned to the Necropolis. They entered the Tower of Terephon, and then the Tomb of Alchestrin before entering the dungeons of the Dark Reliquary itself through a secret tunnel. The eerie sounds and unpleasant smells were just as they had...

Arul and Raelin discussed Shilukar's offer with Sorin, but the half-elf wouldn't hear of it. Dealing with Shilukar had always brought them misery, he insisted with a great deal of vehemence. His mere existence was an affront to decent people, and the Company should never, ever deal with him. Period....

17-30 Blessing

The Company of the Vallis Moon returned to the city of Ptolus. Their first priorities were to take their treasure to Hammersong Vaults and to take Udalaag to the Brotherhood of Redemption. This done, they settled in for a period of relaxation and replenishment. Finding that the adventuring life was not to his liking, Alaric took his share of the plunder and headed back to the Viridian Council....

With the monstrous half-umber hulk Udalaag in tow, the Company of the Vallis Moon returned to the dwarven city of Kaled Del. Sorin bid his new friend wait for them in the darkness beyond the city. Meanwhile, a deputation of dwarven soldiers met with the Company and marvelled at their tales of defeating...

As the Company prepared to battle the vampire priest, Goro simply shut the door to its chamber, sealing it within and them on the outside.

Lets not forget my continued use of the Immovable Rod.... which is no use against a non-air tight sealed door and a creature that can turn to mist.

13th of Blessing.

The Company returned upstairs to the three cylinders. Alaric used a reveal secret doors spell and found a secret door immediately opposite the cylinders. After much experimentation with the black dragon statue and various names, Sorin tried something different. Placing the strange dagger into the slots, he unlocked the cylinders. Arranging the cylinders in the order of Storamere's genealogy, he unlocked the secret...

13th of Blessing.

The Company could find no way up to the third floor. Returning to the first floor to look for clues, they discovered a room with furnishings fit for a giant. Unlike other rooms in the castle, this one showed signs of recent habitation. Reasoning that this room belonged to the half-giant/half-dragon that had attacked the Monastery of St. Chausle, they looted it. The giant chest sprayed Sorin and others with tiny poisoned needles that sapped their will and...
