Returning shaji

The group headed to the Obelisk of the Water God. When they arrive, Fix allows himself to be guided by Gond to lock in the planer shift needed for Shaji’s return. Once that is in place, they realize the location is the last point to lock in. They decide to teleport to Philolio and head toward the former location of the city.

About a half day’s journey out, they encounter an undead tree that Kadath is able to identify as a necrostolon. He informs the group that liches often provide deals for nobles who want to live eternally. They allow their bodies to be buried near trees that are warped by the liches power. The souls get trapped within the trees and they wander about looking for bones to devour. Because of this, they turn around and rest in Philolio before moving forward as they were too drained to be facing a lich.

Inside Philolio, Kadath visits the sky station to view the shield over the land. He quickly sees where Shaji’s shield would fill in the final gap. He also sees that the shield does not go beyond the Clock of Kala. Forsythe takes flight and notices the shield is solid and could land upon it if he wanted to.

After a good rest, they travel to Shaji’s location uneventfully. Where the city once stood is now a barren land. However, they do notice a stone slab toward the center of the area. As they approached, a messenger arrived from Velsharoon. They engaged in battle where Kadath dealt the final blow. Afterwards, he took the messenger’s sword and the Raven Queen consecrated it, melding it with his current sword.
