[The Sunreavers] Duskfall: Chapter 3 (Hallowfall); Episode 1 - Light's Redoubt

The Forbidden Reach

The Sunreavers travelled to the Forbidden Reach this week, booking passage on a Tuskar trading ship. They arrived at Morqut Village and began questioning locals in order to find a fisherman named Itupiakut, whom they found tending to his boat at the docks.

The fisherman explained that he had found a proto-drake corpse on a recent sail, and near it, small human or elf-like tracks and a piece of fabric, made of Dalarian silk, snagged on a branch. A very kind Tuskar, he offered to take the Sunreavers to the location in his boat, which they accepted and compensated him for.

Arriving a short time later, they investigated the area: the proto-drake corpse was missing several limbs, its remaining flesh charred from fire or an explosion. It also contained a crystal shard embedded in its carcass. The tracks, leading from the carcass, were erratic and led up and away from the shore.

The trackers in the group, Spellbows Flamewisp and Sunshadow, led the others up a winding path and near the entrance of a cave. The site featured the remains of a campfire, apparently conjured using a basic mage survival spell as evidenced by some standard runes, as well as what was left of a cooked animal. Tracks, more sure-footed, then led to the cave entrance.

The entrance of the cave featured what was left of an ancient barrier spell which had recently been overpowered and effectively shattered using tremendous magical force. The group entered the cavern with caution.

Within the cave, the Sunreavers found three ancient relics, sensing draconic essences to their fabrication. However all three relics had recently been drained of all magical energies and left inert.

Next to the third one, a circle of runes, those of a teleportation spell, were found, pointing to a quick escape from the one they tracked. Deciding not to use the runes and possibly teleport into an ambush, the group returned to the fisherman and his boat, and then to Morqut Village.
