Session 3

PCs: Garreth, Markus, Karok, Shadowfang

The adventurers return to Outskirt to peddle their modest haul from the recent expedition, guided to Master Ulvar's general store. To their satisfaction, he offers a fair price for their findings.

After a rejuvenating night's rest, the party decides to explore the rumored malevolence concealed within the Temple of the Purple Flame, anticipating both glory and treasure. A day's journey later, they arrive at the dilapidated structure, entangled in vines and thorns.

Within the temple's courtyard, they encounter Hafarmal, an aged elf harnessing the growth-inducing energy emanating from a portal. Persuading him to join their expedition, they delve into the temple's secrets.

In an adjacent altar room, a concealed hatch reveals a mysterious Bone Mask. As they descend further, a fierce battle with a monstrous manticore unfolds, resulting in the tragic demise of Hafarmal. Retreating to the upper level, the party regroups.

The following day, they descend again, uncovering the portal room. Guarding it are two twisted cultists of Sathmog, altered by the malevolent forces from the other side. After dispatching the cultists, the party resolves to seal the portal once and for all.
