Major Plot Points
- A cadre of Homeshard Heroes accompany an armada of Shadar-kai refugees as they return to the now-rebuilt Shadowfell.
- They are attacked by a techno-organic voidship of Illithids commanded by an eye tyrant who calls himself Tyrannicus. The purpose of the attack was to enslave and consume the entire population of refugees.
- The heroes fight off the mind flayers, with minimal losses.
- The party spends a week making sure that the refugees are settled without further incident.
- Lith communes with Eilac who can promise a measure of security from future attacks on the population once they are settled.
- Forsooth has traveled with the refugees to offer aid. Klast and Forsooth have a discussion about the Demiurge and the meaning of mortality.
- Lith and Psithurs bond over the lost of Kairon, whom they knew much too briefly.
- During his free time, Wildare spends time with Psithuris just listening. The grocer seems content to learn more about the dinosaur rancher and perhaps claim a bit of happiness for himself.
- The heroes defeat the infernal Porphyrous Maw that the Fascists left over to consume any left over might.
