- Atticus, Sombrine, and Waylon exit the portal from the Monastery in The Old City. They emerge somewhere in Bilnarak, under siege.
- Their vision is blurred and can only make out distant shadows. They hear the sounds of warfare, blood curdling screams accompanied by guttural grunts. Atticus recognizes the unmistakable sounds of Orcs, the smell of burning buildings… heat.
- Waylon takes a bit longer to orient himself due to still being ill. He scouts out above rooftops to see what the Orcs are doing. He noticed the Orcs are capturing and chaining citizens up. Then marching them out of the city towards the West along the main road.
- Atticus joins Waylon on the rooftops, they are spotted, then narrowly dodge a large brutish javelin. Waylon begins shooting arrows at one of the two orcs that spotted them.
- The party finds a spot to hide and escape the Orcs. Waylon and Atticus begin to run from rooftop to rooftop to see where the orcs are leading the captives. Sombrine runs below through the alleyways
- A group of Orcs spot the party again. Waylon is hit by a javelin and takes enough damage to hinder his ability to move.
- Sombrine continues to run down the alley. Atticus casts thaumaturgy and succeeds in getting his attention to stop.
- Sombrine begins carrying Waylon. They all run through the alley, and are chased by hordes of orcs flooding the alleyways searching for them.
- Atticus tucks away in a shadowy alcove, and consults his magical compass for divine guidance. He gets the understanding that if he falls back that he will ensure the safety of Sombrine and Waylon. Atticus stops. Sombrine (carrying Waylon) run past a building corner out of site.
- Orcs surround Atticus, he takes out Shar’s club and bashes an orc in his jaw, then gets hit in the head from behind. Atticus dies.
- Atticus awakes to Weatherby in the Eret’zel chamber, 3” inches of saltwater now on the cold stone floors.
- Weatherby makes an arrangement with Atticus. Weatherby will smuggle him back into the material realm through Ya’ari (Feywild). Also, he will give him a map to where he can find Shar to bring his soul to rest.
- Weatherby and the Impish creature agree that a head/tail flip of a coin. Atticus has a two-headed coin that Weatherby knew about, contract is signed, terms: “We’re Good.”
- Weatherby informs Atticus that a full crew would be required for this expedition. They need to return something to Keener (short, curly hair, big nose) in Ya’ari. Atticus requests Jura who recently died during the fall with Izi. Jura meets Frim in Eret’zel and finds his way to the chamber. Weatherby begins procuring the rest of the crew.
