beasts from the hells

The group goes into the mines and eventually gets to the tunnels with less use. TTC scouts ahead with Forsythe closely behind. As they go deeper, they begin to hear a rumble and eventually pick up on some light. Forsythe senses that nature has been influenced by multiple planes and warns the others.

They make it to a huge cavern and discover the creature they had been sent to kill. The group quickly engages the evaclast taking some large hits and depleting some resources. Eventually they dispatch the creature and see a rift open within the cavern. A dog-like black creature is thrown through by what appears to be Ordeith.

As Forsythe shatters the obsidian creature, the rest begin to question those on the other side of the rift. Zybella, Ederic, Kosha, and a living Ordeith seem a bit confused at the sight of the group. Ederic, however, recognizes Evangeline asking why she was not at home. Fix telepathically communicates with Zybella to discover she is not the one he knows. Kosha smiles softly as she recognizes Forsythe once he takes on his halfling appearance.

Through some discussion, the group concludes this is an alternate timeline. Sharing some images of the items connected to Velsharoon, Zybella commands Fix to stop. She then communicates telepathically to all of them that they will guard this information closely as it could alter their own timeline. Ordeith and Zybella then close the rift. Fix and Evangeline watch closely to learn how to do the same should the need arise.

When they turn to leave, they see a door next to the tunnel they came through. After investigating, they learn this is a piece of the Feywild, a glen known as “Dave.” It seems to provide anything they ask for from tools to drinks. Here, in a small library, Evangeline discovers the Throne card. It depicts a woman sitting upon it with an arrogant air of authority. They are encouraged to rest as time works differently there, and when they awake, they discover only an hour has passed.

They leave the glen and head out of the mines. When they step out, they find several guards and miners have gathered. The captain agrees to escort them to see the king, but the group decides to travel by cloud instead of the teleportation circle they are led to. Once they arrive, they are allowed entry into the castle walls and led to the doors of the keep.
