Watching of the evil eye

Our adventures were summoned by the Order of the Silver Mace (SM) to help them destroy a evil creatures that is causing havoc in the lower tier. They had been that there were 4 separate locations that needed to be attack within a small time period. They were being recruited to attack one of the locations since SM did not have enough of a military group to perform the task themselves.

As they entered the deep underground tunnels they encountered bone devils, a seriously damaged colossal golem, a gargoyle that enjoyed to fetch, a chest with viscous teeth and finally the Evil eye with executioner hoods as protectors. Though the battles were tough, and they didn't quite understand why/how the golem had arrived to such a place, the heroes were able to defeat the Evil Eye in time and thereby protecting the city from an unknown threat.

As a reward, they were each presented with a Albative Thimble and a Purity Bowl.

John and David received influence points. Sky druid Alex has used his resurrection token. Alchemist Alex now has a treasure chest mimic that he keeps as a pet - it does not participate in combat but does not attack Alex since he feeds it. John has a Disaster egg - useless by itself but looks cool. Emily and Apples (Matt) were there and had fun.

Ablative Thimble

This small silver thimble looks unremarkable. If magic is detected on the item then it will have an aura of abjuration magic.
Each day this thimble will absorb up to 40 hit points of piercing, slashing and bludgeoning damage. The thimble does not absorb damage from spell or spell-like affects. The damage can come from multiple sources and the wearer can choose whether the damage is absorbed or not. When worn the thimble attaches itself to the wearer so that it will not fall off during normal movement, but it can be removed by the wearer or others easily.

Purity Bowl

A common-looking wooden bowl (made of wood from a sacred grove) with a blessing for health and plenty carved along the inside edge in ancient Ersic. Any food or liquid placed in this bowl, whether rancid or poisoned, is made edible as per the spell purify food and drink.

Escort or Espionage

Lieutenant Commander Leoben Armorus from the Peacekeepers has asked you to meet to provide protection in a diplomatic mission. They require strong, cunning and creative adventurers to escort the ambassador during his journey to the floating island.

Heroes are led into a dark room by one of the guards of the order. Inside there is a table with a few chairs and asked to sit while the commander comes in. A tall well-built man with a stern and aged face enters the dark room quietly. He is clad in silver coloured full plate armor, encrusted with the emblem- nothing but his face can be seen. In his arms are several scrolls and parchments of papers.

“Thank you for coming. It is nice to see that members of the collation are willing to assist in the troubling diplomatic issues. This is a fairly simple mission; you will be to escort the ambassador to the floating island to carry out discussing with the Golem society. We are hoping to determine their intention and if it would be possible to open up relationships with them. There is a minimal chance of conflict, but you are mainly there to show a none-aggressive presence. Since the Silver Mace does not have a military force, we would appreciate your participation. “

Once the adventures accept, Lt Cd Leoben waves of the two other individuals and they are left alone in the room.

“I believe the golems are going to try and invade this continent. Though I have no evident, but rather a series of coincidental events. First, shortly after the golem ambassador’s visit a month ago we found a collection of evil eyes trying to destroy a large part of the city. In several of the passageways there were golems that tried to prevent the Silver Mace from eliminating the threat. Also, since the known existence of the golems on the floating island, crops and water resources have started to go down. Though there has been a progressive drought, many of the water sources are contaminated with black water as well as the spreading of the blight, it’s very difficult to prove any correlation. I recently got news of a possible golem mobilization in the waste lands. A source has told me that there is an abandoned castle where they have settled. It would be a great asset to know what is happening there and to retrieve or prevent any military forces from spreading before we are caught unaware. ”

He raises his finger to his mouth, leans back and opens the door. The two other SM members enter the room.

“Thank you for accepting this diplomatic mission. We shall meet at dawn at Last Hope’s town square. Should you change your mind, simply do not show up and we’ll assume you have taken other tasks”

He shakes the heroes hands and leaves the scrolls and parchments on the table. As they look at the scrolls and parchments, they quickly realize that these are maps and information about the castles and golems.

Believing visiting the castle is a better choice, they adventures seek a hidden tunnel entrance to the back of the castle. After a long journey through the tunnels in the mountain, they hear heavy foot steps in the distance. At the exit of the tunnel they encounter a large iron golem, and after an intense battle defeat the creature. Looking around the exit they find schematics on golem constructs.

Sneaking through the keep, they encounter a fire giant chain in the court yard. After befriending the giant, they learn about the golems using this places a factory to create more golems. They come to a agreement to release the giant if it helps clear out one of the building filled with frost golems. The building was easily cleared with the assistance of the giant, and he leaves once his part is complete. He tells them that they have made a friend among the Giant - Merous, the fire giant.

The heroes then begin to scout out one of the towers in the castle. Encountering a couple wood golems, which were disposed of easily, they find a set of papers of an unknown language. While trying to sneak into the next tower, the adventures are clearly seen and quickly back off. Expecting to be attacked, they were surprised no one came. When they continued to the next tower, they quickly came to realize the building had been set on fire. Running along the wall of the castle, they become caught between two burning towers. Before jumping down the wall, they see the remaining golems quickly running out of the keep and into the mountain.

With that, they return to Last Hope and info Lt Cd Armorus of their discovers, providing him with all the parchments they had and a piece of the blue shard they had collected.
