+ | Upon his death, the party hears the " | ||

+ | As his last (and only) act of defiance, he grants the party some of his mystical | ||
+ | power so that they can (hopefully) defeat "The Risen King" | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the end, the party proves capable of the task and the Risen King is destroyed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the days/weeks to follow, the following events happen (in roughly this order): | ||
+ | * Zoldathra kicks them out of Castle Serastis (granting them the promised "safe passage" | ||
+ | * The party gathers the slave community together, heals them as best they can, and escorts them to civilization. | ||
+ | * The party encounters a small army of mercenaries (under contract from [[Kevin Arcana]]) heading toward Castle Serastis. | ||
+ | * [[Allie]] (and perhaps others) return the King's bones to the Barrow near [[Kingsholm]]. | ||
+ | * Some (or all) of the party visit [[Kevin Arcana]] to understand his role in this affair. | ||
+ | * A trip to [[Southbay]] occurs -- where much trading occurs. | ||
+ | * Everybody returns home to rest and recuperate -- during which time several months pass (mostly) uneventfully. | ||
