Liira is the only daughter of Alesco and Noli Tesh.  She lived with her family on the Lendore Isles, where her father made a modest living as a fisherman.  It was a simple life, but it was a happy one.  Unfortunately, nothing lasts forever.  Liira’s simple life soon fell victim to the cruelty of the of the outside world.

Long ago, in ages past, Clan Burenheim was forced from its ancestral home by marauding goblins and orcs.  They wandered the frozen wastes, eking out what meager existence could be had there. For more than a human lifespan, they lived under the leadership of King Wold, known as “The Wandering King”. 

Togar was born into this harsh and unforgiving environment.  It was a hard life, but it taught Togar how to fight and how to survive. At a young age Togar became renown among Clan Burenheim’s warriors.  He was gifted with great strength.  He became known as Togar the Hammer for his ability to deliver punishing blows to his enemies.

The session begins in the Rivenroar's crypt.  We uncovered a great deal of treasure in the crypt, which was split up between the party members present.  Taking these items we retreated back to camp to await the return of our companions.

Before I begin the recap, I would like to thank Mike T (Rook103) for taking round by round notes on the combat.

After dealing with the horrors of the previous room, the group entered the door to the west.  The hallway made a U-Turn, which lead to a room full of skeletons still chained up in the cells where they died.   Tuldil'el went from cell to cell, blessing the remains and looting.  The group recovered a Hammer of Lightning +2 , a +1 Inspiring Fullblade, and a +2 Cloak of Protection.  Hurricane saw a pair of spectacles and a shield.  When he picked up the shield, the doors were thrown open and the group was attacked by a number of Magma Claws.
