Marked By Prophecy Session 2:
From Toosigma
Four years later the group of Minharath, Kuhr, Leo, and Andrinn Toromir and his young druid apprentice Arranvar all join a party to celebrate the anniversary of the Day of Mourning.
Arranvar, who isn't very big on crowds, headed up the stairs to the balcony overlooking the party where there were fewer people mingling around. Leo and Minharath met up with Kuhr and Andrinn as they had not seen each other in a long time.
As the party continued, a ghastly haunt materialized and began to attack everyone within reach. As the crowd panicked and fled, a cold gray mist expanded from the haunt. It began to engulf the heroes. The counterattack came quickly but the haunt vanished through the ceiling and up onto the balcony. As the party attempted to head up the stairs, the haunt returned to the floor of the room only to be defeated.
The detection of the traces of the magic that summoned the haunt was found by Leo and after getting supplies they followed the magic down into the plateau of Methis.
Down into the depths of Sharn the magic trail was lost for a short time until a beggar was found who directed the party after a man in dark robes with a black beard. He had been seen with an armed goblin escort. The trail was found again and down into the dark reaches of Menthis into the district of Centerbridge. The seedy and creedy underbelly of Sharn where the scum and villainy hides is where the trail grew stronger.
A prostitutes guidance quickly gave the party the location of the of where the man and his guards disappeared into. They approached the building and Kerr opened the door. The party entered and the battle ensued. 4 Goblin cutters, a Hobgoblin archer, and a pair of shifters attacked the party. After their sound defeat and the finding of 60 gp, a stairway to the second floor.
The party slowly moved up the stairs and found 3 magical contraptions slowly pulsing with magical power. 2 Dopplegangers and a Doulgaunt attacked the party. During the battle the magical electrical devices expelled powerful charges that hit both enemy and ally alike. Leo discovered the devices were overloading to explode as the Dopplegangers tried any and all shapes and forms to gain the advantage. After the defeat of the hostile enemies, Andrinn was able to shut down the devices so that they did not blow the city into oblivion. The party found several magical items (3 - level 2, 3, 4).
The party left and made their way home until found by a breathless messenger. The note was a summons by Seria and the party immediately found a sky-coach to take it to Seria. On their way, discs of magic appeared around their sky-coach. A man with an aberrant dragonmark and his goblin archers began to attack the party. The attackers were defeated and they found that the man they had just killed was one of the very men who was passed out of the dragonmark floor 4 years prior. Another magic item was found as well as gold, and the angry black and red aberrant mark on his chest.
