Nobody Wake The Bugbear

Another day passes within Gauntlgrym. A plan to negotiate with the Duergar is formed and the time has finally come to parley.

In the aftermath of the encounter with "The Reader", a dreaded Mind Flayer, the adventurers are faced with the fate of the thralls now under their custody.

After conversing with the entity calling itself "The Reader", Creses finds out the horrifying truth of it's nature, as he comes face to face with an Illithid....Caradhak....Mind Flayer.

Kobias and Anastasia receive messages from their friends in Neverwinter. Emboldened by the news, the party heads to the Temple of Dugmaren Brightmantle, where Creses gets some messages of his own.

The adventurers walk with reverence back to the temple of Moradin with hopes they can restore the youth of their companion, before their time runs out.

The Mother of Dwarves once promised safety in her temple, but it is long gone, and in it's place, in the dark moldy refuse and ruin, aberrant things nest, poised and waiting to get inside the heads of any visitors unfortunate enough to come near.
