Session 68

Renegades

PCs (lvl 20): Dornal, Halbarad, Morg, Salina, Torak

The party witnesses the carnage surrounding them, as the corpses of both hordes bleach in the sun. Dornal brings Chax-chik back to life, and the torh-kreen psionicists guides them further west, to the Dragon Crown Mountains.

While crossing the mountains, the PCs are ambushed once again by the Shadow Man, a psionicist of the Order that Chax-chik recognizes as Arvego, a master in manipulating his opponents' fears. Arvego is supported by a band of dominated braxat. The party defeats the hulking beasts, while the Shadow Man escapes.

The PCs arrive in the Silent Forest protecting the fortress of Dasaraches, stronghold of the Order. Thanks to the knowledge of nature imparted to them by Korgunard they manage to avoid the most dangerous sentient plants barring their path. 

In the forest they meet a group of Masters of the Invisible Way, former members of the Order, now renegades planning to assault Dasaraches and destroy Pharistes, the leader of the Order. The PCs forge an alliance with the renegades, and together they plan their attack on the fortress.
