Curse of the Riven Sky pt 1
General Summary
Replying to a notice asking for assistance for adventurers, Amon-thul, Walter, Rhal and Anathema meet together in the Flame of the Forest Inn, waiting for a scholar, by the name of Parnas Staghart. After the party exchanged pleasantries, Parnas sits near the party, excited they took him up on his offer. Parnas explains that he has come by a book that requires a wizard with the blood of a giant to perform a ritual to unlock. Though there are magics in the book, he is more concerned over the written contents, and asks the party to help him . Parnas explains to the group that they found one of the few remaining giants in the area, a skymage known as Zoarth, who lives in a castle at the top of a mountain far to the north. Amon-thul asks about any hazards on the way, but the gnome replies he does not know, as none of the other parties he has sent have returned from the journey.
Gathering cold supplies, the party get on a phantom chariot, moving them quickly north. Resting for a day in Snowfall, the party comes across the signs of a struggle, the builds empty but showing signs of a struggle. Anathema scouted ahead, but with no signs of enemies or survivors, the party deems it safe enough to sleep for the night.
Taking flight the next day, the party ascends the mountain. Noticing a party of giants, wolves and ogres making their way up the path to the mountain, the party ignores it, instead making their way to the castle. Upon reaching the top, they noticed the castle actually sits upon a cloud, with only a a bronze staircase leading up. Noticing a breach in the wall, the party comes up to the main hall, finding the front doors broken in, and giants attacking an elemental. Noticing the party, one larger giant gives the order to attack the party.
Taking a few blows, the party managed to overcome the giants, dispatching them with only a little difficulty. As the party tended to their wounds, a cat appeared, speaking to them that the foundation of the castle was under attack, and if they did not hurry, the castle would plummet to the ground. Heeding the warning, the party went to the foundation, solidified clouds that held the castle up. Attacking the foundation, the party comes across an ice devil, that is accompanied by a possessed giant, and a summoned bone devil.
The party sprung into action, but it was a hard fight. The ice devil's natural resistances forced the party to use a majority of their resources, and a good amount of their creativity as it proved to be hard to overcome the creature. However, after running, regrouping and re-engaging, the party was able to stop the assault on the foundation. The party take a breath and an opportunity to recover, steeling themself for what else lies in the castle.
