Location: Royal Crypts – Hall of Kings

Setup
Picking up immediately after the ghost’s chilling warning — “Ævinel has returned” — Bonk and Ashera stepped forward into the Hall of Kings to confront the apparition. After a tense exchange, the spirit accused the group of trespassing and suddenly possessed Ashera, twisting her will under its spectral command.
Exploration
Hall of Kings
A vast corridor lined with silver-engraved sarcophagi, each marking a monarch of Stormforde’s ancient line. Some names had been partially erased, as though consumed by time or magic. The faint hum of the Weave resonated through the walls — a sound only Vesolnir could sense clearly, vibrating beneath the stone.
The Ossuary of Bones
Beyond a side passage lay a chamber filled with countless bones — an overwhelming sea of remains. The air itself seemed to whisper. After careful deliberation, the party chose not to disturb the space, recognizing it as both enchanted and sacred.
Tomb of the First King
At the corridor’s end, the sealed tomb of Stormforde’s first monarch awaited. Cautious of further ambushes, Vesolnir conjured an illusionary image of May and sent it gliding into the chamber. A massive Phase Spider lunged from the shadows, revealing itself as it tried to strike.
Session End
The session closed as the spider’s ambush began, setting the stage for the confrontation to come.
