Na'zel
gets accidentally locked in the vault in the cairn when he reveals a
new talent and teleports across the room and Moreta gets the hump and
crosses back to
the rest of the party, unwittingly activating the vault seals again.
Amongst
the treasures that the party finally recover from the vault is part of
the Doom-heart, an untested weapon designed to destroy the behemoth if
it ever returns, as
well as an Amulet of the Planes that proves to not be 100% reliable
(more like 50% or less).
Finally
leaving the cairn, the group waits for the bandits to return from their
raid and ambush them after they split off, picking them off one by one
in the surrounding
hills and forest. Picking off the bandits in small groups though means letting the two mercenaries escape.
Travelling back north, the team see a cloud of wild magic sparkling in the daylight.
Mountain lions are following the cloud to pick off weakened survivors of the cloud but the party decide to avoid it all.
Getting
back to Westcarlham, after stopping off at the
Temple of the Shrines for Gith'orl to pay her respects to Sarenae,
everyone visits the Miyori family, keeping the sons hidden out of sight
so as not to reveal that they have been rescued yet.
Questioning Miyori, and already suspecting Selra, the adventurers decide to investigate her house.
They buy a wagon of wine to be delivered to Selra's house and
stage a fire to allow them to get inside under the cover of invisibility
spells.
This
gives them the chance to search the house and, in the study, they discover a
hidden room with a twin to the teleport circle in the cairn and a
magical helmet, which the
spell casters have failed to identify at the moment, on a wooden stand.
As the servants in the house discover the smoke-sticks that were
used to stage the fire, the group pull the bookcase closed behind them.
Taking care not to be locked in, they lie in wait as guards and servants search inside the house for intruders.
