Recovering from Immolation

The party rise from where the had fallen during the fight with Gambion Everspire and his Ironshadow Hobgoblins. Ansem falls to his knees exhausted as Gambion walks into the woods disappearing from sight, Salazar and Arlo rush up to the top of Giant's Throne hoping that Ansem is alive but find him silent and weary.

Drogon finds a place to meditate and Erebos calms Gynk and Gerald who have rushed around from the other side of the cliff face after being woken by the sound of dragon's fire.

Once Ansem reaches the bottom, Arlo announces that its best to move the camp further west along the road to ensure safety. The party agree and pack their things, leaving Gynk and Erebos to carry the meditating Drogon and to place him onto the cart.

A few hours of travelling the slither of sunlight appears as the party assemble a new camp and prepare to settle down and rest. Ansem, rested from the travel prepares a ritual site and starts weaving his magic to reassemble Dusty. Drogon stirs from his meditation and looks towards Ansem, with the rest of the party asleep he sees the strange worm filled human figure standing 10 feet behind Ansem observing him and his ritual. The creature points a worm constructed finger towards Ansem and utters "Death, two of four" before disassembling into the ground and disappearing.

At that point all hell breaks loose and an altercation between Ansem and Drogon starts with Drogon accusing Ansem of not being who he says he is with Ansem denying it fervently. Quickly a fight breaks out between the party causing Ansem to have a vision of him killing Gambion Everspire and casting his body into a pool of blood.

Drogon and Salazar knock out Ansem locking his hands in manacles and tying him to a tree leaving him for morning. As Ansem stirs he wakes to Drogon not 5 feet away, Ansem slips his bone hand out of the right manacle and kills Drogon on the spot.

Not waking the party he goes ahead to Baraka's Keep and meets Brand on the way who escorts him safetly to the keep's walls.

The party discover Drogon's body and bury it. Salazar retires from the party leaving Erebos and Arlo to continue west attempting to catch up with Ansem.

Ansem meets with Baraka and discovers the meaning behind the messages from the strange being as well as his visions. Baraka realising the mark laid upon Ansem teleports eveyone into a different plane hoping to inform them of the great peril the world is in and the Cult of the Four Horses
