//Note: This adventure comes from
"[[http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=products/dndacc/107977400|
The Sinister Spire]]", by Bruce R. Cordell and Ari Marmell, as
published by [[http://www.wizards.com|Wizards of the Coast]].//
=== Early September, 1111 ===
With the help of an arcane text he picked up from Thomas, the scholar, in [[Southbay]],
[[Heilli]] makes a discovery relating to the Earth Node the party [[v2session13|discovered
under the Barrow of the Forgotten King]]. He assembles the party to see if they can
pick up the trail of the escaped grave-robber, Xeron.
=== 9-11 September 1111 ===
Travel to Kingsholm by way of Southbay.
=== 12 September 1111 ===
//Area E1)// Chimney's Edge
Enter tunnel under the Barrow of the Forgotten King to explore the [[v2session11|
Earth Node the party discovered earlier]]. Find a note hidden on body of halfling
(missed earlier). It is, however, written in the Yuan-Ti script so the party
cannot decipher it.
Freyrik returns to the town of Kingsholm and manages to purchase a //"Comprehend Languages"//
scroll. With it, they learn what the scroll says:
Fadheela,
I have been delayed. My servants carry the king’s
bones and all the items of his champions that I could
find. Merthúvial I cannot locate. I shall spend a bit
more time trying to find it, but I am sending these on so
our rendezvous is not compromised. Please give the
Vanguard my regards. I shall be along shortly.
-Xeron
//Area E3)// Giant Cockroach Wardens
Descend into earth node and fight giant cockroaches.
=== 13 September 1111 ===

After attuning to the node overnight, [[Heilli]] and [[Freyrik]] both sense they
can activate it. [[Freyrik]] does so and the party is transported to the Underdark!
//Area G1)// Grotto Node
Meet Bruthwol Coalhauler, a Duergar merchant. He directs them to the "Oceanbridge",
which will take them to the city of "Pedestal".
//Area G6)// Bridge Askew
Fight four Skum and their mysterious psionic-using underwater master (who flees
when the Skum are killed).
//Area P1)// South Gate
At the entrance to the near-ruined city, they encounter a group of Kuo-Toas.
After defeating them, the party uncovers a stash of treasure and heads into the city.
//Area P2)// Dripstone Inn
Meet the information trader, Es Sarch, who runs the Dripstone Inn. He offers to
help them locate "Fadheela" if they will perform two tasks for him. The party agrees.
