Session 17: A Tale of Two Paladins

After entering the Bane of the Divine, you learn that Mortimer, one of the heroes who defeated Elustria, is currently being held captive there to appease both the All-Father and King Krieg. The party also entered the Archives, navigating several different puzzles and finally making their way to find a mask that contains a spirit capable of searching the different planes of existence to find a way to kill any being, divine or otherwise. In an attempt to get out of the Bane, the mask tempted the party to help them all defeat their greatest enemies and all they would have to do is bring the mask back to the Material Plane. In a close call, the party nearly falls for the trap but is able to regain their senses and leave.

The party then confronted Grun, the Green Dragon that failed to keep them from entering the portal in the base of the Great Tree. Appealing to his fellow draconic being, Steve decided to ask the dragon why it even works for the All-Father. He learned that Grun was being controlled by a legendary artifact known as the Orb of Dragonkind, giving the All-Father the ability to command Grun to defend the tree. Exposing a loophole, the party fled from the tree and Grun resisted the command to follow and kill them. This did spell trouble however as Karna, a satyr whose family is under the control of the dragon, threatened to collect on the blood pact he made with Steve. Steve convinced Karna to give him more time and the Satyr agreed that 2 more weeks would be all the time he could give.
