The Adventure Continues...
We didn't update last week (which sucks) we killed the Lich, but it took us forever to figure out how to do it and we needed the help of an NPC. It wasn't our best time...ever.
We get back to Baron Rivendare's Keep and speak with Lucious. He told us of the portals that Kergan passed through. There are 7 of them and they are all located in the Scarlet Monastery to the east of here. What we know is that Kergan passed through these portals for 1000s of years, but Lucious would not tell us why he went through the portals. Obviously it was for information gathering and gaining some sort of strength.
We part ways with Lucious and Sebathius (the paladin that helped us out) and head east to the Monastery. We come upon an 80 foot wall. It looks the same as the Black Gate. Gildere casts fly and takes my magnifying glass to see if he can see over it. He can't, burns a truseeing and still can't see past the gate. He comes back and says that it might be a darkness spell.
After checking around (flying up, checking for traps, etc) we knock. The doors swing open and we speak to a guy in robes who looks like a monk. We asks us to follow and we do. There appears to be a village, a temple and other buildings. As we walk through the doors, it feels forboding. The shadows are longer than they should be and the room appears bigger than it should be. He takes us to the sitting room, as we go, Baldin looks towards the alter. Once the Monk leaves, Baldin tells us it's the church of Hades.
A little while later, a gentleman in a silk shirt/pantaloons comes into the room and asks "can I help you?" We have a conversation about the portals. Kergan spent the most time in the land of the Restful Dead. Hades (who we find out is the guy in the silk shirt/pantaloons) gives us a room for the night at the monastery while we discuss our next plan of action. As we theorize why Kergan spent extra time in the realm of the Restful Dead, it was brought up that what Kergan is doing might be doing good, in Kergan's own mind. He may be thinking that he's doing the right thing. We talk for many hours and decide that it was better going back to speak with Lucious to see if he knows why Kergan was turned away (meaning he turned and left, not that he was defeated). We appear at the gate and a lich appears and tells us that the master doesn't wish to be disturbed. We head back down the path to go where the Baron Rivendare's ghost first appeared to us. Katrina appears to us and we speak to her...for a long time. We converse and say that Gildere should cast "Vision", unfortunately he doesn't get the outcome that we were hoping for. Baldin/Endel suggest that we should go and find something of Lucious's. I step up and remind the group that, yea...he's been a death knight for a VERY long time so he won't have anything remaining. Gildere tries a second time, this time sacrificing his beloved armor (it has special powers that do stuff like cast wraithform and dimension door twice a day), again...nothing. Gildere tells us that he needs to leave this world immediately (probably a drawback of failing the spell). He leaves for the city with the pirate ship.
.....and that's where we are at.
