Session 61

Heroes: Meghera, Serghor, Xeridan, Trull, So'Kehur

The Heroes plan their next expedition to the world of Tyrrah, and using powerful magic they manage to reach the city of Hammerborg, the capital of the Empire of Aduria. There they learn more about the Bull of Vengeance, and his legend as a Hero of Tyrrah. While they're not sure why the Bull has chosen them to plague their dreams, it seems that whatever evil the Heroes of Tyrrah have defeated in the past is trying to come back and spread its malignant influence on the rest of the Multiverse.

When the Heroes return to Sigil, they are contacted by Veridis Mov, begging them to return to Crux; it seems that the visages have returned, and the Heroes are the best equipped to handle the situation. The Heroes travel to Crux, and while they're in Veridis Mov's house they're assaulted by a pair of visages. They defeat the creatures, and Veridis Mov shares with them important information.

Through his "contacts" he has come to know of a place called "the Salience" where the Visages are gathering to receive orders from their mysterious master. He asks the Heroes to travel to the Salience (a holy site dedicated to the giant eagles), and spy on the visages to learn more about their quest.

The Heroes reach the Salience, and with the help of local ratatosks they manage to pass unnoticed. At the meeting place, they spy the visages receiving a message from a dust mephit:

"I bring news from Thanatos. 

You master commands you to remain near the tree-city. Very shortly, he shall remove the insect that thwarted your previous efforts and shall recover the bloom himself. For at long last, one of the perpetrators has been located and is now securely held within Tcian Sumere, at the Bottom of the Multiverse. 

Your master has also bid me to add: 'None shall rest until my vengeance is complete. All who stand in my way shall face the wrath of that which was wrought in the ancient halls of the realm now known only for dust.' "

After hearing the message, the visages proceed to rips the mephit apart, and then they leave the Salience. Thanks to his ranger skills, So'Kehur manages to follow the fiends without being noticed, until the last of them returns to Crux, and enters the portal to Ranais, the Funereal World. Unwilling to miss this chance to learn more, So'Kehur follows the fiend into the portal.
