Turn 75
The Timeskip
After a heated argument, the group of survivors decided to split up and head towards different directions. Two months have passed since they met at the rockspear chamber. Much has changed during that time. The corruption continued to spread across the land, even vegetation turn into monstrosities with time. The Sun has totally blackened, leaving Axewrath in constant midnight. The dead are even more vicious, dark spirits escape abyss and spread across the world, and demons started building their fortresses throughout all kingdoms. All of these events bear hallmarks of the end, the time of reckoning. This may yet change, as sudden appearance of draconic artifacts indicates that dragons may return, and the signs on dark sky suggest that ascendency of WindRock Lyirah has occured!
[3] Dennis, the Duke of Height Keep accompanied Pguhyuh and Fzbxr on their way to Unavented Cathedral. That place really creeped him out, witg countless monstrosities around him. After meeting the fallen archangel and finding out that his ox can't be brought back to life in a form other than a zombie, he left the cathedral and returned to his sit of power, to finally take a seat at his rightful throne!
[4] After searching the carcass of undead dragon that Reynald had slain and finding another draconic artifact within it's stomach - an eye of a wyvern, Aaron decided to travel to southern kingdoms - lands from which these legendary draconic species originate. Slaying countless enemies on his way and gathering more equipment, the dragonruler grown stronger. There is still a great distance to cover before reaching ancient nests of wyverns, but it would be a waste of time to go back being halfway there.
[1] The inquisitor went down the mountain to take his horse and ride out. At first he was travelling with Aaron, but a sudden demonic ambush separated them. The demon lord of pestilence attacked them as they were passing a hell pit, which was the fastest way to get through the Nackcrag Canyon. After fighting bravely and nearly defeating the demon lord, it summoned a horde of minions. Being extremely outnumbered, inquisitor and dragonruler had to escape. Aaron flied away to a nearby mountain, while Reynald was forced to run down the canyon. Dragonruler was waiting there for two days and then flied away, assuming that his companion was dead. However, Reynald managed to find shelter in one of underground caverns, then discovered a passage leading to the other side of canyon. The horde is still looking for him though.
[2] Pguhyuh and Fzbxr returned to Unavented Cathedral, where they reported their failure to persuade demigoddess into going with them to meet archangel. While Cilber wasn't pleased with it, he decided to give them another chance and assigned them to cathedral duty. After a few weeks of being denied access to the archangel, Cilber once again saw great diplomat's potential, and after Lyirah's ascendency, he was sent once again on a mission to persuade her into joining their cause.
[3] Lysander and his minions moved on with Pguhyuh to the cathedral, yet due to reasons unclear he wasn't allowed to speak with fallen archangel. After waiting patiently for a week, he decided to leave Unavented grounds and seek more demonic knowledge. He returned to Height Keep and decided to check what was in the sealed tower. It seemed that it was an arcane study, but not of the usual kind - there were numerous occult symbols carved at it's walls and a charred summoning cirlce on the floor. Lysander could feel that the touch of Abyss was extremely strong here, as if the place was a part of it! Quickly he figured out that this is the place that dread knight came from, but who created the circle? Lysander couldn't find an answer to this question. At least he has found some interesting equipment in the tower!
[2] Serrana accompanied Pguhyuh to Unavented Cathedral, but she wasn't allowed an audience with Cilber as well. The fallen archangel was busy with something of utmost importance and even Pguhuyh was allowed entry to the inner sanctum hesitantly. Exorcist spent a lot of time with undead and dark spirits at the cathedral grounds during almost whole her stay there. She had learned a bit how it is like to be a monstrosity before deciding to join Pguhyuh on a quest to find Lyirah. Curiously, while staying in the cathedral Serrana's contact with spirits has weakened, and greatly increased after leaving it.
[3] Bentfear took his time in Height Keep, spending most of it in laboratory. He found several books about brewing potions and went on several ingredient searches, during which he had to defend himself from undead. After some time, he met Dennis, the Duke of Height Keep and was ordered to find an alchemical way of restoring an ox to life.
[5] Ferron the travelling alchemist wandered around the Height county for two months, fighting undead, demons and escaping from dark spirits. During that time, he had found numerous ingredients and brewed a several quality potions, then he found a cart with demonic weapons and armors just left in the fields without any guards and took it to Height Keep.
[5] Erik Grimkelsson came literally from nowhere, escaping from horde led by the demonic lord of torment. He managed to outsmart them however and feigned his death by giving a random corpse his cloak and throwing it into corrupted vegetation that literally shredded it to pieces. Not long after his loss and narrow escape, he found a body of wandering knights. He was lucky enough that it haven't revived upon him getting in contact with it. After stripping the corpse of all the possessions, he travelled towards a hilltop fortress, the Height Keep.
