Session 64

Death of Korgunard

PCs (lvl 18): Dornal, Halbarad, Morg, Torak

The party spends the day exploring Pakk's lair and interacting with several students of the psionic arts.

When the time is right, they're summoned by Pakk to go and visit Korgunard in the Sanctuary. Pakk opens a psionic door, and the PCs step through.

On the other side of the door, they find themselves trapped inside a sphere of deadly thorns. Pakk communicates with them telepathically, informing them they will have to remain prisoners until he has decided what to do with them.

The PCs lose no time, and break through the walls of their prison; waiting for them are a pack of wild zhackals. The party takes care of the beasts, and rush to Pakk's sanctum in the center of the lair.

When confronted, Pakk reveals to be a member of the Order. He tells the PCs that Korgunard came to him seeking counsel, and when he understood Pakk was a member of the Order, he asked to speak with the leaders of the organization, to try and convince to give up on their mad plan. That's when the Order decided to eliminate Korgunard.

Enraged by the death of Korgunard, the PCs attack Pakk. The mental powers of the halfling elder are impressive, and they put the strength of the party to the test. After a difficult battle, Pakk is eventually defeated and killed.
