A Plan is Hatched

After working with Peraxalim to ignite the passions of the wood elves and overcome the resistance of Caryrus, the party beings to plan the recapture of Oym Edhil. Details of manpower, logistics, allies, equipment and financing are all worked out. Lady Tyrell's spies show up at the warehouse to let them know Lady Tyrell is in dire staights. The town guard have surrounded her manse, declaring her a traitor. The town guard along with a faction of wizards from the Baku are setting up a giant magical siege engine on top of a nearby building to blast down the barrier that Lady Tyrell's wizards have erected to defend her estate. The entire district where Lady Tyrell's house stands has been sealed off.

The party hatches plan convincing the wood elves to assist in saving her in order to secure financing and resources needed to execute the invasion of Oym Edhil. While Illana prepares the wood elf troops to take to the streets, the rest of the party departs with Lady Tyrell's spies into a sewer passage to rescue Lady Tyrell. While wondering through the swers trying to get back to Lady Tyrell, the party's guides get eaten by some giant oozes. The party then continues to wander in the dark, eventually discovering that the city of Appelane was built on tope of ancient ruins long buried. The party continues to wander through the underground, searching for Gruther's Distillery, where the spies had told them to seek an exit to the surface.

Fomentation of War

After emerging form the underground passages of Appelane with Alvorelle still incapacitated and Favian in tow, the group made its way to an inn in the seedy 2nd district to hide out and recuperate. On the way, the party saw a gigantic explosion coming from the direction of lady Tyrell's made. While Alvorelle was recovering at the inn the party learned from gossip in the ale room that the 4th district had been completely sealed off. Rumour has it that there had been open fighting in the streets between some the town guard and group of insane wizards bent on destruction.  Stranger still is that some said the towns guard were fighting along side an unknown faction of monstrous irregulars. When Alvorelle recovered she lead the group to warehouse in the 3rd district that was revealed to be an indoor enchanted grove where the survivors and friends hide out and plan their return. In a nighttime council the heroes convinced the leadership that the time was ripe to retake the city and offered up lady Tyrell as a source of financing for the expedition.
