Session 48<\/b> (Day 40)
\nIn … The Temple of the Black Earth!<\/b><\/p>\n

    The party interrogated the four freed prisoners: <\/span>Orna<\/span>, <\/span>Droth<\/span>, <\/span>Wulgreda<\/span>, <\/span>Gervor<\/span>. In the end, they escorted them to the far side of the Water Temple and gave instructions on how to get out of the Air Temple and up to the surface, thence to <\/span>Red Larch<\/span>. In return, Orna gave them information about the leadership structure in the <\/span>Temple of Black Earth<\/span>, and a few of the locations they would pass on their way to finding <\/span>Marlos Urnrayle<\/span>.<\/span><\/li>\n

  2. The party stopped for a short rest in the <\/span>Gargoyle Fountain Chamber<\/span>, and discovered that its waters actually provided a <\/span>Short Rest<\/span>.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. The party, wanting to use her forge to destroy the <\/span>Orb of Red Larch<\/span>, decided to tackle <\/span>Xharva Deem<\/span>. A brief but bloody battle ensued, cut off when <\/span>Faith <\/b>used a <\/span>Banish <\/span><\/i>spell to send Xharva back to the Elemental Plane of Earth, her home.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. After another short rest, the party continued up the corridor in the direction where Orna had said <\/span>Marlos Urnrayle<\/span> was. At an intersection with two arrow slits, an inopportune clatter from <\/span>Theren<\/b> looked to be drawing an attack from those at the guard post.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
