Little Fire of Forest was born in the clan of the rising sun, "the Rising Sun clan". The tabaxi clan was located on top of a forested mountain. She was born in a litter of three, with a brother named Smoke Caught in Wind, and a sister named Flame of Dry Leaf. Little Fire of Forest was the smallest of the litter, the runt. She was known as Little in the clan, and was always the smallest of her siblings, and age group.

At the time of the litter's birth, there was a forest fire seen in the distance, but it was never deemed as a danger to the clan's location. Growing up in the clan, Little always seemed to be left out. Her siblings and other kits of the clan teased her, and Little wasn't given the chance to prove herself in the clan, as many thought she would be too weak or small to do any major task.

Little's only job was to help collect minor building materials, and berries. The small tabaxi wasn't given much of a place in the clan, and often spent it climbing trees and entertaining herself.

The years went on, and the fire in the distance grew and smoldered, then grew then smoldered again. One year, during the hottest time of the year, rain hardly felt. The clan had been more concerned of the lack of drinking water to pay attention to the fire until the flame started to lick the camp's bramble walls.

The clan fled. Little tripped and fell as they escaped the flames. Only her brother looked back but he kept running as a burning tree fell in between them. Little's small size allowed her to weave under some fallen trees, and escape her near death. The tabaxi collapsed on the sand of a beach, from a mix of exhaustion, smoke inhalation, and shock.

The young tabaxi was found on the shore by a rescue team. Little was taken to the mainland where she was treated for her injuries. There Little was taken in by a monastary and she lived there for ten years. With no where to go, Little learned the way of the open hand, by a spotted tabaxi named Coursing River. River taught Little many of her basic skills, but didn't stop Little from getting into trouble with the other trainees. River told Little about the wraps of dyamak.

A lion-cub tabaxi named Leaf from Fallen Oak. Oak was a loud, brash, young lion tabaxi, who ruthlessly teased Little. Little tried to ignore it at first, until Oak hit a weak point - her size and strength. Little revolted, and the two started a fight. While Little got a few good hits in, Oak eventually won with a stunning strike making Little fall to the ground in defeat.

Little recovered after their fight but was told she could not stay in the monastery, due to no tolerance to fighting. Little, despite her resistance, was sent away. The tabaxi noticed Oak was expelled too, but he turned his head away when Little looked at him.

Eventually Little board a boat to Tal'dorei. Little renamed herself to Fire in hopes to find a new life.

As the party mulls about what to do with him a Spectre comes and breaks his neck. The undead is quickly killed with a well-placed Guiding Bolt and evaporates into dust.

-The group loots the bodies of the cultists, finding a sigil to a dark god. When Isabella tries to study the item she becomes physically sick. Sintha recognizes it as the sigil for the Whispered one, Vecna. The others recognize it as the symbol the Deathlock took from the mansion. As they turn to notice, they realize that all of the blood in the cows has mysteriously drained away.

-Group chose to head back to farm after discussing events of last session briefly. Ran into Thomas the farmer whos cattle was disappearing and informed him of the news that his twenty cows were dead. He headed home in a panic attack due to the stress of all of his cattle having been ritualistically killed.

-When they approach the tavern they pass by a half-elf woman with a long leather coat, and a drow elf man who intimidates the group before both leaving. They mention 'skinning' people.

-The group enters the tavern, taking a corner table. The building is L shaped, and they are watched by everyone. They notice a large Goliath man some distance away, as well as the bartender named Doug who stares at them.

-Sintha walks to the bartender, asking for a drink. He notices the bartender slipping something into the drink. Sintha demands the bartender drink the ale, causing a stalemate. Sintha says that he is looking for information, and with a whistle the group is surrounded by the goliath and three other thieves. The group agrees to head to the downstairs. Above the door frame is a script in Theives Can't, which Isabelle identifies but can't read.

-The group is led to a basement, with four chairs on one long side of the table and one chair on the other for Doug. Isabelle notices that there are hidden doors within this cellar.

-Doug threatens the group to leave town since they know too much about the situation, and their actions have negatively impacted his business. He also implies that Serena is about to be dead, The group 'agrees' to leave the town, as they leave Sintha stink bombs the basement and then kills all the lights upstairs in the tavern. The group flees.

-The group returns to the Sunset Stride Tavern, where they find that Serena has dispatched three assassins. The group gets her up to speed and they choose to flee towards the harbour and board a ship called the "Lady of the Breach",captained by a man named Geoffery. As they head for the docks, they notice that they are being followed in the shadows.

-The group rests on the ship as they head for the lair. During his meditation, Sintha is pulled into the realm of his patron Mente P'Vrey and his realm of knowledge. The Archfey warns him of the coming dangers he wanders in, showing him the events of the last time Vecna was ressurected and struck the city of Vasselheim 20 years ago. He also commands the Elf to seek out the secrets of the cult, as they are the most sought after. Finally, the archfey grants him a Tome of Shadows to aid him in his quest.

-Everyone wakes up, well rested at the crack of dawn. The ship lands at a crooked wharf and begins the walk towards their destination. When they near it, they are shot at by a sniper and assaulted by two humanoid zombies and one Ogre zombie.

-The zombies are dispatched quickly, the sniper attempting a feint with an earthen shield after she is nearly knocked out by the bust of Betty White. Sintha calls her bluff, leading to a revelation that the sniper; the half-elf from the tavern, is the royal princess knows as "Victoria Vex'illien Von Musel Klossowski de Rolo", princess of the famous hero and further infamous inventer of firearms. She is also revealed to be a warlock to the mysterious entity known as Orthax. She pleads for mercy, stating that she can navigate them through the tunnels that face them ahead safely to their goal of killing the Deathlock. She also warned of the ritual that was taking place in but 18 hours. She then feints.

-The group returns to the ship, sailing nearby the coast to burn 8 hours to grant a long rest.

-Group questioned Vicky about her legitimacy as someone they could trust. Sintha studied her weapon and proved to them that she was a warlock by making her weapon disappear.

-The group landed on the dock and headed into the cavern, where they encountered three Minotaur Skeletons. The group obtained 3 greataxes.

-The group rested for a short time and were interrupted by the previous bartender Doug, as well as his muscle Karlgath and the drow elf. A firefight ensued with the Goliath-Lycan being killed quickly, followed by the elf. Doug was shattered into smoke and ash after being blasted by the killing blow from Vicky.

-The group continued inward, getting the jump on two cultists guarding two separate doors. They dispatched them rapidly.

-Within the right chamber they found 600 gold (adding to the 120 they found from both cultists and Doug), a Pot of Awakening, five Superior Potions of Healing, a Moon-Touched Shortsword, and a mysterious artifact called the "Mask of the Insurrecting Thrall". Vicky attempted to convince the group to give her the item, but was rebuked by Sintha who took it for himself.

-The group went into the left chamber, freeing the captive slaves from sacrifice. Two priests of Sarenrae the Everlight healed the group to full health and returned full spell slots to the casters of the group.

-Continuing down the tunnel they entered the mouth of the main chamber. With speed they quickly dispatched the final foe between them and their final foe: a poor Vampire.

-The group now prepares to face down the Deathlock for the final showdown.

-The group crosses a natural bridge towards a circular stone platform in the centre of a lake filled with red viscous blood. Surrounding the perimetre are 30 foot wire racks with bodies whom left eyes and left hands are missing, left drained. In the centre floats the Deathlock that the group had first encountered, flanked by the astral visage of an ornately-dressed man identified as a vampire. In the centre of the raised platform is a head-sized blood red crystal with a heart in the centre.

-The fight commenced, the Deathlock ressurecting minions to come down from the rack to attack the group. The fight goes on for several rounds, the Deathlock utilizing Arms of Hadar and Hunger of Hadar to stop them,

-Eventually the group, with a mighty hammer swing of shining silver light, struck down the beings physical body. But in a cry of horror, the spirit of the being rose again to strike out.

-With the final death of the creature a billowing wave of power emenated from the crystal, the undead falling victim and the racks of corpses falling into the lake.

-The group took a breather assessing the situation. With no other alternative, Serena cracked the crystal and absorbed the heart, and its souls, into her body before falling into a coma. Her last request was for Sintha to bring her body to Jiln Tenongore in Westruun, and noted that if she begins to expire that the book of knowledge he possesses would open up.

-As the group left they found another door within the cavern that held a single sack. Tipping the sack over led to a collection of 5000 gold coins and 2500 gold worth of gems, jewels and jewelry that once belonged to the victims of the cult.

-The group left the cavern, noticing the corpse of the Goliath Karlgath was missing. They set sail back to Stillben and landed in the pitch of night. As they headed towards the end of the city, they were surrounded by Clasp members. Their leader, a large female human by the name of Helga, thanked them for killing Doug. She offered them a canvassed cart and two horses provided that they leave the town and called it even. The group did so, loading the unconscious body of Serena in the back and set off for Westruun. As they left, Vicky made mention of her eventual plan to head back home to Whitestone.

-The group heads out on the road, the destination being the distant city of Westruun. Serena's body lies in a coma, made as comfortable as possible given the circumstances. The journey will take about three days travel with their one horse. Various people take time throughout the day keeping watch and driving, noting the occasional merchant cart that passes by them heading towards Stillben. Sintha creates a familiar which he uses to scout.

-The group notices a cart coming up behind them, heading the same direction as they are. The cart eventually catches up, consisting of a group of Platinum Dragon members: Isaiah the Knight, Bethice the priestess, a Minotaur, and hidden from sight in the cart a Dragonborn that they are transporting.

-After a brief discussion resulting from Simke falling out of the cart, the groups decide to travel together in a convoy for protection. The Platinum Dragon group takes lead, with the PC's taking the rear.

-A few hours pass and the groups break for camp. Vicky and Sintha take first watch, followed by Isabella and Fire, with Simke taking the final watch. Near the end of the first watch, Vicky confronts Sintha about ownership of the mask at the threat of gunpoint. She explains what powers its capable of, and reveals her curse that will force her to kill her family while she is bound to the Shadow Demon Orthax. Persuasion checks abound and leads to a flinging of spells; Sintha attempting to freeze Vicky, while she tried to charm him. Sintha moves for his familiar to wake Simke, but is promptly killed with a well-placed Eldritch blast. The evening calms when a standoff ensues, a silent promise made about the future, and Vicky backing off.

-The morning rises, everyone getting back onto the carts and heading off. The group travels across a small bridge, with a clearing forming into a path through the forest. With a large crash the tree topples the only way through the forest. The group tracks the rustling of movements, and a large beast breaks through into the clearing. A similar one bursts from the river below and attack.

-The groups move swiftly against the Krasis, striking to kill it switfly. The beasts seem to give minimal notice however, transfixed on the Dragonborn in the back of the cart. One beast falls, but the second clutching its victim and racing through the water and out of sight.

-Knight Isaiah panicks, explaining that many Dragonborn had been killed in this area, and thus requiring him to be protected with an escort. They reveal that the Dragonborn, whom had been from Wildemounte, had seen visions of a powerful shield called "Honours Last Stand". Vicky moves towards Sintha after hearing the name of the shield and states that the shield is an ancient item similar to the "Mask of the Insurrecting Thrall". Sintha sends his familiar to scout, noticing that the beast has moved from the river and into the forest. They set out with Vicky guarding Serena.

-After an hour of searching, they track down to the cave that the monstrosity fled to. Upon entering, they discovered the long lost brother of Sintha, Krinthos. The Eladrin elf has been transformed into a goat-man and speaks about a strange world where he learned how to create the two lives of the Krasis. He tells a tale of attempting to save the life of a child from a Cult of Dragon raid, and when they were both about to be killed they were instead engulfed in flames and were transported elsewhere.

-He explains that the Cult is on the move again, collecting treasure to summon their dark goddess. He shows them his laboratory, the bones of slain Dragonborn strewn about. In admittance, he hunted for a weakness to kill the dragons but instead could only find Dragonborn.

-The exchange heats up, Sintha calling out his brother for killing innocent people. A fight ensues, with the quick death of both Krinthos and the surviving Krasis.

-The group retrieves a number of items, including the shield "Honors Last Stand". Bringing back the body of their fallen comrade, the Platinum Dragons mourne before continuing the journey to Westruun.

-A number of days past without any further incident on the road, the Platinum Dragons inviting Isabella to discuss with them the events. As they crest over the last hill before their destination, they see the gates to the city.
