Chapter 15: Closing Out the Chapter

What follows is a list of basic events that close out Chapter 15: Deliverance.

Antilles returns, seemingly in better spirits though preoccupied, and Prion honors his word. Tol' Dorinn Finnian is released, and indeed, the PCs convince him that his efforts would be well spent helping to oversee the affairs at Turwinton.

The Oracle of Dunger is left alone... for now.

Tara of Turwinton finishes her series of vision quests to determine not only what weapons need to be fashioned, but what spirits must be found in order to make them. The list of spirits includes:

• Bragg, the founder of the Braggoli culture
• Gazoph, oddly enough, an Ogren (who should not have a spirit at all!) trapped within the poisoned node at Drathmorton
• Krosbye Turwin, the Ganthur Battlemage who first saw need for weapons such as these
• The Oracle of Dunger... thats gonna go over really well
• Endannian, once the Prodigal Archmage of Tal'Megarin until trapped in a battle of wills with Zhillia
• Quentil Zah, High Priest of Darun when the City of So'Garik'Nohn fell to Bhaen
• And either the reigning King of Unger or Halladyr Kordir, a hero of the 3rd Prophecy, whose spirit is bound in the deep waters off the coast of Dun Morthus

The PCs uncover the "traitor" in Larka City, learning that it was Sayli Nerys, a military Captain who dated Lugh a couple of times. When confronted, they learn that she is one of the rumored "superior" Thunn and has resisted her conditioning. She seems truly penitent, but Arius seems most peeved by her behavior, seizing her Larkan issue Blade and Uniform and telling her she has no rights to hold such items. The party opts for mercy, though it will strain some of Kethryn's credibility with his superiors, and places the woman in exile. They decide the best place for her is the Mount Wind Protectorate. Let her be the Order's problem...

Nevia is going to have an official event at Chobol Narsym, the high seat of Andirion, and requires the presence of all Taerani, including Lugh, Soreiss, and Arius, in less than four months time.

The party takes information previously traded to them by Belovius, Master of the Tower of Stars, and finds the entrance to Zal-Ruthara's sanctum. Other people in the region also want to get inside, even bringing violence to try and enter first, despite the legends of incomparable danger. The party opts to let these fools enter, and before the door is even closed, hears the first sound of death...

The party waits a day, then enters Zal'Ruthara's sanctum.
