5.01 - Introductions

Anneleigh remained in Sanctum for several days, refreshing her body, mind, and spirit, and preparing for the journey ahead.  When at last she felt strong enough she departed via the porticulum for Crimson Wash – the most westerly place she had visited thus far, and began the trip into Scarwood Reach on foot.

4.03 - Rock Ridge

Anneleigh, the Priestess Hellen, and Sir Armex turned as one at the sound.   Its resonance caused the windows of the houses to shudder and the fire to flicker dangerously.  The pressure wave that followed a few seconds later smelled of ash and was warmer than any summer breeze she had ever felt.  In the distance above the low mounds and tall clay pillars they could see the fire rift erupting.

“That’s over Rock Ridge.  I know it is.”  Ser Armex said

4.02 - Demon Steps

“I’ve felt a dark presence in the Demon Steps... It can only be Angdralthus, the lich sent by the Endless Court to oversee their operations.”  The priestess Hellen said. 

Anneleigh looked around to the piles of bodies and swarms of endless cultists and Hellen noticed her gaze. 

“The sooner we rid Scarlet Gorge of the Endless, the sooner we can better assist those who have already perished, but we are likely to lose more lives if we do not act quickly.”  She said.  “You must acquire his phylactery if you hope to defeat him. “

4.01 - Crimson Wash

Anneleigh blinked and looked around before realizing where she had been transported.  Grateful she did not have to reveal her secret to Gwyddon, she looked up the road to the inn, the thought of a decent sleep in her mind.  Instead she saw Marshal Oakheart coming to her side.

“The shadows are falling away.  The unnatural darkness is lifting.  If I had to guess I’d say you had something to do with it.”  Oakheart said with a smile, something she had never seen him do.

3.14 - The Stranger and the Rift

Anneleigh and Gwyddon, still in their wolfish forms, made their way through Shadefallen keep, following the path upward as it twisted around on itself, until they reached the highest platform.  Neither of them said anything as they walked. 

When they approached the Alter at the far end of the dais they saw the Hag had already arrived, and she had a guest.
