Odd Man Out

The group spends their evenings going about the house while waiting until morning to begin their journey. Fix spends some time in meditation and receives another vision of the volcano. He confers with Zybella who encourages him to go to Mencala Peak and that she would feel more at ease if he were not alone. Evangeline continues working on her nanites until the house is quiet, she then heads to Gavyn’s room where she takes a look around. She finds a homemade knife and a magical wolf figurine which she places in her pocket. Forsythe continues to study botany with Kosha until she falls asleep. He then carries her to bed and goes to bed himself. Kadath chats more with Erwin until he also goes to bed.

In the morning, Fix confesses to the group about his visions and his desire to go to Mencala Peak. The group agree to travel with him and they ask Joyve to teleport them. Though she had not been there herself, she knew enough about the area to get them to the side of the mountain. The group makes their way into the depths of the mountain, going through illusions, walking on air, avoiding acidic ooze, and passing through portals. Eventually they find themselves in an ancient forge where Fix immediately goes to work. About 4 hours later, he completes his armor, finding it has been blessed by Gond. The group then make their way through another portal and find themselves standing on the side of the mountain once more, the time lapse is at least 14 hours later.

They begin to make their way westward, out of the Black Riage, and come upon a warded area. A few in the group get some eerie feelings about the abandoned fortress they find in the area. Evangeline, with her arcana knowledge, realizes that the ward that they found is to keep something in, not to keep others out. After a brief discussion they decide to do a quick observation of the area and begin to move through the ward toward the abandoned fortress.
