Campaign journal Day # whateverthehelldayitis

After defeating and defanging the vampire we were surprised to hear voices coming into the room.  It was four emerald Claw agents.  Sonn quickly put up a wall of fire around them while Sedris and I and the others waited for any one of them dumb enough to go through the wall.  Tari was able to blast two who survived.  We found a helpful mao on the body of one.  We then took the Northeast passage.  The white crystal opened the mists and we found ourselves in a room trapped with lightning generators.  We were able to open the door and found more mercenaries and a demon woman who unsuccessfully tried to convince us she was a prisoner.  We took care of the guards but she escaped,  After a quick dash across a room with a bizarre rift, we came upon a room that appeared to be trapped and sent everyone who tried to avoid the trap crashing into the ceiling.  I was the unlucky one to try that out.  Templeton the rat was the one that found out that the pits were not really pits and that they were safe to walk across.  We entered a dingy room with a ghost who hates the Emerald Claw.  She did not believe me that we were not associated with the EC, so it looks like another fight. 

Pilgrimage report October 22nd 2020 After killing the vampier we fought some emerald claw agents. We then began to make our way further into the doom vault. We encountered some electrical traps never thought our family resist lighting would come so much in handy, and a giant rift into another dimension. I am starting to loss track of how much time it has been since I left but I think it is approaching 3 years now. Someday I shall bring my companions to the clan and you guys can meet. If I make it out of this doom vault I will share more about what is going on.

We took a long rest and checked out the east room.  It was the succubus again and some other minions.  She charmed me and I had to fight against my friends.  I need to find a way to protect my find from intrusion.  The rest took care of her and we fought through the room with caged demons into another room where a demon was being tortured by skeletons.  Sonn took care of the skeletons easily and we chased the wight off.  We activated the black transport circle just as some asshat big bad guy arrived.  We found ourselves in a place familiar to me, my home forest range.  It was years since I have been here.  Miraculously we appeared near the camp of my brother, Thrend.  After introducing my friends he took a dislike to Gnippity.  Gnippity made it so much worse by using a fireball to demonstrate his power.  That set off Thrend.  Sedriss and I had to pull them apart.  Thrend told me that our village was destroyed by fiends sent by a had who resides in the Burning Keep in the Demon Wastes.  It appears that Sedriss' sister may have been headed there.  That place also holds a chance to get the next shard.  We will set out for the Burning Keep in the morning.  

Pilgrimage report Day I have no idea anymore, 2020     We finally got out of the vault. And we meet Kodiac's brother after landing in his camp, Hundreds of miles away from where we started. Kodiac's brother Thrend says that his village was destroyed by fire mages from the Demon Wastes. He also said that Thanna was headed that way. Her mission and mine seem to intertwine right now. We sent out for her likely location in the morning. I fear she is in danger, much more than she can handle. Don't worry though I'll get my big sister out of trouble.

After fighting our way through the wastes and a bunch of fiends (and narrowly escaping a purple worm) we came across the burning keep.  It lived up to its name as a keep surrounded by a moat of lava.  After spending what seemed like hours debating about how to enter the place, we decided on an attempt at deception.  Gnippity disguised himself as a fiend to try to convince the other fiends to open the gate.  He failed. With half of our party trapped on the outside, I flew in with Sonn to occupy the fiends while Vellios shot arrows from the battlement.  Tari teleported in with Sedriss and we gave battle with the Yagoloth (I think that's what it was called) and four other minor fiends.  The Yag guy dispelled the spirit guardians and attacked me with a lightning bolt, which was basically ineffective.  Most of the fiends are dead now, but the flying spiky ones will be coming soon.  I need to find a way to get the gate open so Thrend can help me fight the fiends and Gnippity may be able to banish Yag boy. I'm heading into the gatehouse next to try to open the gate.  Maybe Tari can cast her Hunger spell across the way to stop any reinforcements from coming into the courtyard. We can win this fight, we just have to work together. 

Pilgrimage report    November 19th 2020     Well we are in another fight for our lives. No surprise there. We marched through the demon waste to find Thanna, and all we found thus far is enemies. Finally though we got to the castle where we believe she is being held.  Currently we are hitting their front line with everything we have. Can't talk much maybe after this battle.

Pilgrimage report whatever day this is Finally we won the opening battle. We have been fighting for a very long time and I don't know when it will end. Now I can do this all day, but many of my friends can't so we are trying to rest inside the castle. Hope everything goes well. I need to find thanna. I'll share more in the next report
