Season 3, Session 12 - Tunnels Beneath Everbrook

While the others dealt with divine fallout above, Fazzo and Nissa embarked on a dangerous underground detour. Fazzo’s kobold allies carried him to safety after an earlier attack by the titanic avatar of Azuth, who destroyed several of his prized magical possessions. The group’s escape through the inn’s secret tunnel led them deep below Everbrook, where strange crystals grew in the darkness—and familiar voices echoed from a forgotten past.

    • Action: The group observed from a distance, being warned of active kobold sentries who work for the black dragon.

• Act V – Return and Reflection

    • Action: Exhausted but alive, Fazzo and Nissa began the journey back, but find that the return trip takes longer in this direction, and the underground is somehow preventing them from teleporting out!
