Shademurk: To the Grove

 Party: Vultha / Iskren / Sorval / Taurio

The period leading up to and including Griev 19th

As the group has some time to relax and get things done, they discovered their time amply filled by new responsibilities and tasks they set upon themselves.
Sorval made Taurio an armour that would do any legionnaire proud, while Iskren consolidated their leadership and had a beautiful (but more importantly expensive-looking) staff crafted.
Vultha had set a plan in motion that saw Ruddiger slain on the spot, and Taurio learned more about both his blade and the potential of awakened weapons.

In the end, the party got together to resolve on their path for the future as suddenly wave after wave of shocks hit Shademurk, one of the islands hurtling down and crashing in pieces through the very ground the city-part was built on. Monsters spawning and testing the toughness of the defenders led to the party quickly falling back in their old ways, heroically fighting off a massive flying lightning creature, before setting about helping where possible.

Come evenfall, the group gathered at the Grove of Freyalise to take stock, Taurio and Sorval heading out to the Fogger to pick up their gear and arrange for the airship, while Vultha set about his wards and protecting the integrity of the group's safe-space.
Iskren tried to venture back to the temple, but the chilling sensation of someone intently latching on to their very movements sent the pontiff back to the lizard's shelter. Taurio and Sorval, noting similar attentions lavished on them, also were quick to return, tarrying not at the Fogger.
With the group thus reunited, the plan became a plane: Ulgrotha.
