Enroute back to Roanor, the Capreton Military are loading up all available spare supplies to bring back to Forsdon City. It seems all of the food stores in the City have spoiled. Before leaving Roanor, there's messages that have arrived by Hawk for Calvin, Raiden, and Bam-Bam? IG takes the one meant for Bam-Bam. For Calvin, it's a letter from his wife who has traveled back home due to the unfortunate food supply issues in Forsdon. Raiden receives a message from his guild, calling him to investigate further into an issue in Saarten Docks. Bam-Bam also has a message from his guild bringing more light into the history of the broken off piece of the crystal. With knowledge where the other lost pieces may be found, the group travel towards the port of Bayside where the supplies are being loaded to hop a ride back to Forsdon City and from there, charter passage to Saarten. Upon arrival at the ship, while supplies are being loaded, a s...
We all awake refreshed, thanks to a stay in the tiny hut provided by Frank (though I don't know how much sleep Raiden got since Slippy used his cloak as a nest).

As we question him further to see what he has to offer, we find out that he has the crystal shard already on him!

He gestures down the dark hallway beyond the trapped armor and boulder. Several bodies are strewn about sticking halfway out of the floor. Convinced that maybe a few of us would also fall prey to some traps, he goads us on to get across. Bam-Bam is eager to do so and makes the leap using the Jump spell to get down the hallway. ...
After taking out the Drow priests come to offer tribute to Ombra in the depths of the Tomb of the Twilight Mistress, Frank, Raiden, Binx, and others begin to assess their surroundings. The room has golden murals all around it with different colored inlay for Ombra's eyes, ears, and mouth. Frank quickly asks for the gems and climbs atop the statue to place them in according to matching colors to the mural counterparts. The statue rises above revealing a staircase leading down into an open cavern. "I'm coming!" Frank shouts as he goes running quickly inside. The others follow more slowly behind. Ombra greets Frank welcomingly and is please he's brought so many willing sacrifices to her, motioning towards many skeletal bodies below her.

Darkness almost moves like a curta...
