===== Major Plot Points =====

  * There was a distress call as the heroes were on the way to another shard. 
  * The call came from a tiny little shard with catacombs.
  * The call described a purple teifling and a human among the eladrin victims.
  * An empire ship is parked near these tunnels, and the Homeshard Heroes investigated it before proceeding. 
    * From materials inside, they learned that there were some jars that were being created for certain "targets"
    * They also understood that they were siphoning energy for Albion and that something is wrong with the Emperor of Blossoms. 
    * Reportedly the Emperor hasn't been seen in centuries only speaking through their proxies.
  * Slate's mining experience helped navigating through the half-collapsed pre-sundering ruins. 
  * The first room had some Eladrin who were freed and take to safety.
  * Deeper within the cave complex the heroes encountered more Eladrin who were trapped behind a collapse and were lost. 
  * Some of those individuals were known to Vicurian.
  * The party was attacked by Selina the Lich supported by Caelus and Mac.   
  * Selina commands the Cult of Cyric. 
  * These forces of Cyric are joined by a giant chompy, a skeletal butler, and a giant bug called a Toxikreen. 
  * Cyric hunts for a powerful artifact called the Cyrinishad with the help of a lich named Selina in the hopes of once again vying for position as Overgod just as he did many thousands of years ago. 
  * Specifically, Selina is helping the Empire with the research of "jarring" gods.
  * Selina has access to Divine Ash found on the Frost Shepherds.
  * The Homeshard Heroes attacked this group, and were overmatched barely escaping with their lives.
