Campaign IX, Chapter 11, Episode 17
Pawn to Knight, Part II
Location: Mount Lavanor
Date: Summer, 1333 Avard
Characters: Este, Halite, Nalani, Galadriel, Isaac, Xydeco
The team battled on two fronts in the hallowed summit of Mount Lavanor – against an undead knight with a two-bladed sword in a dwarven tavern, and against wraith-like shadows capable of hurling force bolts in the inn. The undead knight killed Estella Battleheart, paladin of Galgiran, and then animated her body. He then began killing other tavern patrons who were cowering in fear, animating their bodies, as well. Meanwhile, Este, his tomanths, and Nalani realized that the target of the shadows was not Este – but his dragon-like companion. Este sent the companion winging off through the halls of Mount Lavanor to safety, and the shadow fled, following. Together, the combined force of the team could be brought against the undead knight. Halite's holy symbol kept the knight at bay, although he called for reinforcements as he nearly slew Xydeco. Halite used the opportunity to importune the knight to surrender – and he offered to negotiate. He said that the winged companion knew something of Herod Notimeh, and he wanted him badly. The entire undead excursion into the most holy of holies was to get Herod at all costs. The knight agreed to withdraw to the exterior summit and stop killing anyone, if Halite would let him and his small army go, given that Halite seemed to know something of the companion.

*game begins mid-battle* The main enemy is 6'4“ and practically invincible. He is accompanied by an unknown number of invisible foes, and several reanimated corpses. The party engages. Xydeco begins. Nalani casts acid splash at an invisible target using 'see invisibility'. The acid does no damage; just kind of splashes on and around a 'blank' space, but rolled off like water. Isaac becomes invisible and moves closer to the big target with Xydeco. Halite conjures a spiritual weapon, attacks and misses. Fighting alongside us, the paladin is killed. Xydeco is injured, and Isaac casts healing word on him to help. Nalani casts acid splash at the invisible target again, and it does half damage. The main target is full of rage and anger; he feels betrayed. Apparently Este's dragon Edyeard is the target, but Este sends him to fly away. Isaac heals Xydeco again, and Halite moved, forcing the big guy back. Nalani uses Elidor's Blade and takes out one of the reanimated dead near the big guy in a flame of green and purple radiance. This is a long and hard bettle; there are backup forces in the form of a spectral army coming into the tavern.
Halite uses suggestion to talk to the big guy. He's looking for The Traitor, bard Herod N'timeh, who caused the War of the Four Winds and organized several invasions and almost destroyed Rakore. In communication, Halite tells him that we are in search/pursuit of him also. Este's father gave the Traitor sanctuary; Este's dragon knows where the Traitor is.
