Sangora, the vampire, gave us a letter of introduction and crude directions to reach the Shifting Library. That is our next step in escaping the Shadowfell. We've reached the outskirts of Evernight, the city of the dead.
After milling around looking for a point of reference, Skygge finds a vantage point to help us find our way to the Corpse Market.
Elden, the noble we rescued from Vecna, asks for a weapon. Jain obliges him, though he asks for a dagger from Gnarls later.
In an alleyway after the Corpse Market, we encounter a group of ghoul dandies being robbed. Are we heroes or villains if help them? The party is divided.
The robbers are revealed to be Shadar-kai, shadowy assassins. They prove to be powerful foes.
Fell takes a sniper position, and Gnarls brings down a nearby building with the power of rock. The Shadar-kai are defeated and all the ghouls lay dead, slain by the Shadar-kai and Jain.
After a heated argument about the morality of our actions and inactions, we continue on our way. We finally reach the Executioner's Square. It's guarded by a massive golem, the Executioner. A simple plan is elaborately devised to get past it. Jain Zar is to lure the golem away while the rest of the group sneaks past. Our goal is a grate in the square.
The grate turns out to lead to a sewer filled with horrifying ghouls. Nearly everyone in the party is stricken with paralyzing fear.
The party emerges victorious, but is exhausted. In the tunnels beyond we finally find a place to rest. The Raven Queen's Garden lays ahead of us, putting us one step closer to the Shifting Library.
