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.

Office Hours

  • After a in-depth discussion, the Homeshard Heroes were attacked on their ship by Shadar-Kai fascists.
