17th July 2013

The group leaves the temple and try to decide what to do next about the Makash cult.

A brief discussion brings about the idea of heading to the Druid grove to the North East and then on to the horse farm.

After several hours travel they find an old, but very well contructed bridge. Linden notes that this type frequently had hidden passages in its supports and Andrei soon locates one that has already been opened. Andrei scouts around the room and upon finding a trapdoor, borrows a rope to investigate. At the bottom was a long dead body and a loooong passageway. Unable to resist, Andrei and Mary take a walk down the tunnel only to return a few hours later empty handed.

The party press onwards and eventually make camp just before the road starts to rise into the Narg pass

As night falls, the party hears a screech. As they look in the direction of the noise, a large dark shape passes right over their heads, narrowly missing Mary.

Combat ensues, with Mary taking an early arrow to the knee. Linden and Mardram Sped and Blessed the party but Jin was next to feel the pointed sticks of pain from the Wynvern rider. Mary takes full advantage of the buff from Linden, loosing 5 arrows at the flying duo while Andrei runs for cover behind a couple of rocks. Linden counters the arrows with a Fireball!! which really hurt the rider. Again Mary makes it rain arrows on the rider, scoring a few good hits. Meanwhile Mardram is soaking up other people damage while he starts summoning something from the aether.

Having turned, the rider again shoots at Mary, impaling her with several shots and hurting her badly. As the beast flys overhead, it tries to sting Mardram, but misses. Andrei tries to charge and shoot his crossbow, succeeding in merely scratching the Wyverns ear. Seeing Mary in trouble, Linden protects her with a stoneskin spell. Mardrams Dire bat finally appears and nearly takes a chunk out of the Wyverns tail. With several members looking poorly, MArdram positions himself well and channels healing energy torwards everyone.

Mary again does the arrow rain thing and is really starting to hurt the archer now. Andrei's madcap charge comes back to haunt him as the Wyvern simply lands on him, crushing him and poisoning him badly! Jin charges to her friends aid, sword all aflame and Andrei, clinging to life stabs the wyvern in the belly a few times. Linden, casually conjures something form the Wyverns worst nightmares, stopping its heart and killing it instantly causing the Orc to retaliate with a few arrows his way. Mardrams bat finally does something useful and the orc takes a nasty bite. Mardram rushes to help Andrei while Jin finishes off the Orc with her blade.
