The Battle of Myrr (Part 2)

Emboldened by their early victories, the party split up with the two mages teleporting to the house at the northern edge of the city to go after the weapons cache while the rest of the party rushed to the town square to rescue the villagers. While searching for the weapons caches the mages were nearly discovered, though they managed to escape with their lives and recover bows and ammunition enough to arm the villagers. Meanwhile the rest of the party gave battle to monsters attacking the town square enabling the villagers to flee and recover some casualties in the process. Once monsters in the square were defeated the party rejoined at the makeshift field hospital to arm and organize the peasants and hatch a plan to relieve the siege on the keep.

The Battle of Myrr (Part 1)

Seeing the village under attack the heroes didn't hesitate a moment and leapt into battle. They quickly discovered the city was under siege by a horde of winter monster setting the town ablaze. With both strength of arm and spell the party slowly began to push back the horde and put out the fires that were quickly consuming the town. After establishing a safe zone on the edge of town the villagers went to work setting up a field hospital in one of the houses while others were gearing up to defend the house from a nearby lookout towner. Dae and Galandan set off by teleport to a house in the northern reaches of town to recover a stash of weapons while the rest of the party took after the sounds of screams coming from the town square.

Emerging from the Depths

The party continued to explore the underground passages, coming upon numerous artifacts pointing at a terrible last stand made here by the dwarves. The heroes also discovered that the elves of the forest and the dwarves of the mountain were allied in a distant past, with the eleven king breaking the alliance to wrest from the dwarves a mysterious grimoire of power. The dwarves sent that tome to a nearby monastery that they were building for their human allies, hoping to hide it there. After a few dangerous encounters the party then came upon the water spirit in the depths of the cave, who urged the party to press on towards the top of the mountain to find the answers they seek.

When the party finally left the cave, they set back east only to discover the city of Myrr burning and under attack as they crested the hill on the road back.
