Story 5/4/2019

These notes cover the 2 sessions regarding Klon's flashback.

For reference, when Klon was 13, he lived in a village that was controlled by a nearby Dwarven king. The kingdom had been in decline for almost a decade, and one day a Lich attacked the town and killed almost everyone, including Klon's parents. Klon grabbed his father's hammer, and charged the Lich. Thorrack, a paladin in the Order of the Raven Queen, had been sent to investigate the town. In an extremely rare event, The Raven Queen acted through Thorrack, and defeated the Lich (who would have normally easily killed both Klon and Thorrack). Thorrack was impressed by Klon's bravery, and recruited him to the Order. Thorrack had another side to the story however, because he had gotten lost on his was to the town, and normally would have been able to stop the summoning of the Lich, but because he got lost he failed, and regretted it deeply. The first session started with the group awaking from a long rest after having recently recovered Ecrozahr's wizarding hat. They found Klon in a trance, and he had set in motion a ritual to send the others into his past. They went into the room, and when they exited they found themselves 30 years in the past, when Klon was 13. They helped Thorrack reach the town in time, rewriting history.

They met Cauldir, who was a blacksmith, and Klon's father. They learned more about the state of the town, and decided to go to the nearby Dwarf fortress to investigate. They found some guards on the outskirts of town, and discovered that most of the fortres

s had been deserted, and the king was going off his rails.

They got into the fortress, and battle dopplegangers of themselves in the labyrinths of the fortress. After defeating the dopplegangers, they managed to get into a dungeon, and found a Tiefling Sorcerer named Shalara being held captive. She had been in a trance for almost 5 years, and after they ambushed a guard coming to get her, they learned she was to be used in a dark ritual in the king's ritual chambers. They group decided to let Shalara join them, and found the hand of the king and his religious adviser in the main hall. They were celebrating the end of times, and had already accepted death, so Thorrack and Beorn obliged them.

The group burst into the chamber, and started to attack the king. They quickly realized that if they killed the king, the Lich would be summoned, so they decided to keep him alive, and fought hard against a Demilich. They eventually defeated the Demilich, and Midnight helped ensure it would never return.

The group tied up a couple quick loose ends, and returned to the inn with Shalara, and found themselves back in the present, with Klon's history being rewritten.
