The party waged an assault on Wild Man controlled Ape City. The party formulated a plan, giving GORHAM a potion of SPEED & a potion of INVISIBILITY. FREYA too took a potion of INVISABILITY. The rest of the group waged an assault on the eastern edge, with MOGANI taking a portion of GROWTH allowing himself to be the target of dozens of arrows! Using MOGANI for cover the party continued. The enemy SHAMAN dropped ACID WALLS as a form of defense, only to be slain by GORHAM! Moving forward FREYA scooped up ANNIKA and the two closed in on a group of WILD MEN dropping both ACID WALL & FIREBALL killing the enemy where they stood. This caused other WILD MEN to surrender. The WHITE APES were very thankful and awarded magic items to all. After a night of rest the party headed back to the Keep on the Borderlands to administer herbs and healing to the Castellan. Finding the Keep in a state of normalcy, the party was invite into the inner keep where RAGNA created a CURE DISEASE potion and utilized in the on the Castellan who was immediately cured of the plague that effected him. Upon him coming to, he revealed himself to be a long distant relative and awarded RANGA with titleship over the UNKNOWN CLEARING, home of a strange cave that appeared out of the earth one day! After this latest development, the party returned to APE CITY and the Northern Mountains where they heard tales of GIANTS & DRAGONS, with a report of a downed PURPLE DRAGON at a high peak. Upon arriving at the peak they discovered not a dragon but a vessel! A galley high up in the mountains with purple sails!? Entering the vessel, the party discovered 5 sarcophagi, with one containing some sort of lifeless automaton, and the others the living forms of four DROW! Why are the DROW here? How did the ship end up on a mountain top? Will the party continue to wage war on the WILD MEN or visit the Slave City of HIGHPORT, or have these DROW sidetracked the party once more!?
