Lynn misses with her attacks while Ushaka retreats from the deadly archer. Daza is able to tie the halfling up while Tau takes a bite.
Kelevan's vine fails to disarm the archer though the bow is still dropped as the elf draws a short blade to stab at the giant acid-fill cat.
The archer through sheer force of will shrugs off Kelevan's spell as Ushaka heals himself of the many arrows sticking out of him.
Daza's companion tears the elf apart and he hits the ground. After surviving the ambush, you are able to leave the Shrine of the Failed and deliver Eylysia’s cache to the Grand Lodge. The crowd gathered around the Starstone Cathedral has disbanded, and many of the locals are still horrified following Sir Reinhart’s attempt to vault the chasm on horseback, which ended with a fall into oblivion. It seems as though another name will be added to the Wall of Names.
Drandle Dreng personally thanks you for your successful investigation, indicating his interest in their future careers as Pathfinders. For those of you have yet to complete your Confimation, the venture-captain promises to speak with Master of Scrolls Kreighton Shaine to have the process expedited. Dreng assures those who have already completed their Confirmation that they will receive further assignments soon.
Days later each of you receive a missive summarizing some of the Society's findings.
Pathfider,
Your recent investigations and recovery of agent Eylysia’s papers have already yielded results. Under my direction, a team of scholars has tracked down the long-retired Society ciphers the gnome used and translated many of her entries. Although many of these records present valuable leads, one is especially timely and exciting. Several months ago, the Pathfinder Society recovered an incomplete relic called the Sky Key. Its missing components disappeared millennia ago, carried by dwarven refugees to the far corners of Avistan and beyond, and the Society has struggled to follow these faint trails to piece the potent device back together. It appears Eylysia may have found one of the pieces centuries ago! She writes of a visit to Tar Kuata in Osirion, where she not only met with the Iroran devotees there, but also the curious order of dwarven monks known as the Ouat. According to her journals, some of the resident dwarves’ ancestors arrived long ago from the distant north bearing a broken treasure of wire and steel. Based on additional context and several magical divinations, I have reason to believe Eylysia—and you—may have found one of the lost pieces of the Sky Key! I have contacted Venture-Captain Norden Balentiir in Sothis to prepare for an expedition. You have already demonstrated your resourcefulness by uncovering this information; when I assemble a team to travel to Tar Kuata, I hope you will consider joining the expedition.
Highest regards, Venture-Captain Ambrus Valsin
