Major Plot Points
The Homeshard Heroes return to the shard of Shadowhaven. They find the place has suffered greatly in the few days that they were away.
They learn that the village's creator Brenin had banished the Shadow Ogres that tried to make a foothold in the Aetherverse here. Only the betrayal of a member of the village could destroy that magic.
The party follows the path in the forest to the large hill where Brenin was entombed.
They are attacked by a Shadow Ogre Magi, and ambushed by several other Shadow Ogres attacking from hiding.
The Homeshard Heroes regroup and find that a fully grown Abed, the child of Wenda is working dark magics to open the Shadow Ogres portal larger every day. He is accompanied by a shape-changing frog demon that they later understand to be the thing that Wenda actually brought home from her trip to Flaygallows.
The heroes are victorious, and the shard of Shadowhaven is once again a bastion against the evils of the Shadow Ogres from beyond time and space.
