We are back in the Wistari Village, a village of Wood Elves located in the heart of the Western Reach of the Hollow.

In the last session, they had killed between 50 and 60 Xvarts at the location of Taughannock Falls. It is a short walk on the east side of the river to get there from Wistari. They call it the River Way.

---

This is the date in which many, many Xvarts were killed at Taughannock Falls.

---

Cast invisibility on the entire party. We find a place to dock the bolt. We head up the river, we approach from the east side. No guard contingent around the area, 4 xvarts on the lower pulley system, 4 on the upper, raised to high point.

Since we are invisible, to bypass the xvarts, 4 in 6 chance. We head for the path under the falls.

Randimir kicks a stone, goes rolling, Xvarts looking. I use psionic invisibility. Continue on our way, best to continue moving on…xvart is waving to another one. Gestures to a rope Shakes the rope, scan the area and looks perplexed. We move up the switchback path, slower than we normally would. looking for markings and such. About halfway up the path, passed the place where they were bombarded in the previous session. Fandilas notices a hole a few feet up in the cliffside face. Goes into the cliffside face.

Grabs my hand and points out a hole, Glowing orange eyes. Staring at my soul. I wrote in the ground Xvart > Should I open, Y or N…I check Y…

Handle moves easily, carefully concealed secret door. Grinding noise on the floor. Exclamations of alarm come through eye hole.

Count at least 8 of them. Xvarts. Weasel alerts him to the danger, Xvart misses since we won surprise. It appears to be a large room. Maervahr saves Fandilas, Galerius runs inside!

Silhouettes, tunnels in the back. 16 Xvarts. 6' long sword, full sweep attack. Randimir follows in, Galarius cuts down 3 of them. They were prepared for a charge. 5 will retaliate with spears. One spear strikes and takes 12 damage.

Fandilas casts sleep. Only 2 are remaining. Fandilas moves into combat. Galarius and Randimir kill 2 more.

I pull out my lantern. Randimir heals Galarius for 8. Fandilas is using the Scimitar which is glowing. Randimir brought a ring that is attuning to him.

Xvart sized spears 3' long. 16 of them.

134 sp.

Room has numerous cots, crude with foliage based bedding. Dried sticks and logs, not comfortable. 16 guards slain, two have stairs going up.

To the left, corridor stretches to areas unknown, 6“ per turn. Roll for surprise, we get a 3. Go down the hallway, hear noise up ahead. Small creatures in room beyond the corridor.

Fandilas charges also. we are at 6”, I go psionically invisible. Galarius and Fandilas charge forth. Another barracks, another 16 xvarts, wielding swords.

7 xvarts are slain by charge. Retaliating against charge.

2 xvarts have harpoons, 1 has a net. 1 hits Galarius, for 2 damage. None hit Fandilas.

I run in to flank the Xvarts. There is a single tunnel, Randimir charges into the rear of the melee. All 4 hits, killed. Randimir missed.

We cut down the rest of the Xvarts, all slain amongst the barracks. 1 turn passes after combat. We explore the room.

We head north from this room, Rool for surprise. Party enters a large chamber, light falls over a huge group of xvarts, these are unarmed, women.
