Session 86 - Please return the book

Lief said in order to restore the Icon of Valar we’d need a priestess of Valar and a group of believers supporting her. Or failing that Bildrath claimed to have sap from Aldrya, the tree sacred of the elves. Although he said that when Yalvan Windshaper was here his servant Balda purchased it. Balda disappeared shortly after purchasing it and Yalvan and Publius went into a rage, saying he’d stolen something very important. Balda was good friends with chief Kolyan and his children Ireena and Ismark. They might know where he is.

Lief requested the return of the Treasures of the Gods book once Alice had finished using it for research. Alice and Amersh found a book on the rites of Valar that said the Winter Palace was accessible at the new moon and the quarter moons as well as the full moon. Also that the Dwarf Road leading out from Izabra was a shortcut under the mountains to the Winter Palace.

Silenus got very down that he was unable to free Lief from his chains. Alice broke the chain by using it as a source for her force axes. Silenus gifted Dan a pair of gloves, Alice a candle and Hazel a pair of slippers. He was about to give Amersh a gift but said his was inappropriate as Amersh had been touched by death. Amersh revealed his true identity to the rest of the party. And also discovered that his sword arm turned skeletal every time he drew his sword.

While everybody was distracted a pair of wights burst through the library door. The wight Wulfre invited Amersh to join him in death. Amersh was not having it and killed the wight with a single blow. Many skeletons poured through the door. A hectic fight ensued where skeletons and the remaining wight were quickly dispatched.
