They set up camp for the night, their hopefully final night in the tainted land of Grishbalan. Heskeni and Amadeus continue their practice of Heskeni’s magic. Adaly rolls her eyes, the halfling trusts this skull too much. Around the fire Amara starts the conversation with the rest of the party “So now we know Sam’s secret, Livia could you tell us yours?”
Sam rolls his eyes “You cannot leave things well enough alone, can you?” Adaly chuckles “well you guys know at least everything about me, us… So, it would only be fair” and smiles slightly wickedly. Sam sighs “Sure, we know everything about you?” Adaly keeps her smile “I think so… if not I will tell you anything you want to know. As long as you do the same”
Livia comes a bit in between “Let’s not start this again please… we have enough on our plate.” And Adaly does nod in agreement. She goes to sit a bit separate casting her spy spell. The spell doesn’t connect with Es-Vahelieth, but she does connect to Es-Grenalieth who is just reading in her library. So, she switches to Valziar, who she can see entering a teleportation hall, and exiting in Tarranolvig.
After the spell ends Amara and Sam already went to sleep, while Livia looks kindly at her “I will take first watch… you get some rest” Adaly says, not feeling up for sleeping yet. It bugs her a lot that her ally got kidnapped because of her.
Livia sadly smiles but goes to her meditation state.
Half an hour into her watch Adaly sees a lot of light coming from whatever Heskeni and Amadeus are doing and throws up a darkness “Seriously guys, we are trying to stay hidden” Which is followed up by Amadeus wickedly laughing and stepping out of the darkness is a small halfling skeleton.
“Hello Adaly, Now I would like my wand back. I rather not use force” The skeleton says in Amadeus’s voice. “Fuck” Adaly turns around and immediately starts kicking everybody awake.
Amadeus throws a fireball at the party, Adaly is pushed towards the side, but she manages to stop her movement just before she falls off the cliff side.
“What happened?” Amara asks while grabbing her halberd and rushing towards the skeleton “Fucking Heskeni and Amadeus, I think he her body” Adaly yells back and Amadeus laughs wickedly “Congratulations you figured it out, I expected you to take way longer.”
The paladins also rush closer, but clearly are in doubt for attacking, the skeletal figure really resembles Heskeni, their ally.
‘I am still in here, make Amadeus cast as many spells as he can, I think than I can find my way out’ Adaly hears Heskeni voice in her head. She looks at her friends and they clearly heard the same.
Amara manages to throw Amadeus off of the cliff and jumps down after him. Amadeus trying to slowly fall but the half orc pulling him further down causing still a hard drop.
His spells still target Adaly, probably because he knows she has the wand. Adaly steps on Glimmer, casting false life on herself but getting a bit closer. Ensuring she can still hit him with her spells. The paladins follow her lead, Sam going fully down, but Livia staying a bit higher flinging arrows at Amadeus.
Amadeus still laughing “You weaklings, you really think you can win…. You are still exhausted” He says when a spell hits Adaly, she feels her consciousness fading, he was right she was still exhausted, and she can feel her limb body falling off of her wyvern before the darkness consumes her.
She opens her eyes and the skeletal figure that tried to kill them is standing over her. Adaly immediately jumps up and starts prepping a spell when Sam jumps in between them “It is Heskeni again”
“Amadeus is here” Amara says when showing the skull “You motherfuckers… I will take control I will…” and Amara crushes the skull shutting it up. A bit of magical smoke comes from the remains, but it appears Amadeus is no longer.
“That was something, thank you guys for bringing me back, that was wild. I am sad that Amadeus lied and did this, but on the other hand, look how cool I can make fire” Heskeni starts ranting showing her green flames.
Adaly rubs her head and sits down “We are still trying to keep a low profile Heskeni” they all laughs, but the night quickly takes all of their exhausted bodies to sleep.
