	The [[Wold Order]] believed that the cause of the breaches was actually BECAUSE of the mining being done by the dwarven companies and other groups in the north, and believed that they weren't "stumbling" upon the breaches but accidentally somehow causing them. This led to a brief period of tension between the Elves and Dwarves.

This led to a brief period of tension between the Elves and Dwarves.

			=== Gammelgard's Asar Ogalas Interrupted ===

			* The [[Asar Ogalas]] day in Isonhound was in full swing. Several members of the Hawks were in the Gammelgard parade that went through the whole city. When the parade concluded the Hawks mingled with the dwarves with same games. Dur'kalak started a pie eating contest while Tristram and Delphi rolled some dice. It wasn't long before all was thrown into chaos. A massive explosion was seen from the direction of the docks and the sounds of alarm bells filled the air.

			* A wave of darkness quickly enveloped Gammelgard during the festival. Falgrim orders the immediate evacuation of the city and asks any adventures to drive their way threw the darkness to his workshop carved into the side of a hill. Falgrim warns the adventures that the structure of the workshop may have been compromised in the quakes and urges them to be sure to turn the steam reactor housed in the building off. If not, the reactor could go critical and take out a good portion of the city.
			* After fighting there way threw shadowy abominations, the players noticed unrefined areocrystals breaking threw the walls of the building. They fought threw the workshop to find a [[aerocrystal]] refinery in the basement of the workshop. The quakes had indeed compromised the walls causing massive cracks in the structure. The players reinforced the walls with wood after creating refined aerocrystals for the [[airship]] and successfully turned off the reactor

The party eventually ground Echamus and knock him unconscious. They reach an agreement with the Lunarens and rush Echamus to the moonwell.

The party eventually ground Echamus and knock him unconscious. They reach an agreement with the Lunarens and rush Echamus to the moonwell.

	The action shifts to a large library in the middle of Seglock where the Moonwell has been relocated. Echamus arrives and is cured of his insanity. He in turn cures the arriving players of their corruption from being on the NSM. Attention turns to the Moonwell and it is soon discovered that the Moonwell cannot be re-activated until the full moon is at apogee (5pm). Stories of the spreading shadows from the NSM are swapped, and the librarian wonders if the Moonwell will protect Seglock from the corruption. Research is completed, and by combining information from multiple sources the party discovers that the Moonwell is one of five “Artifacts” that have been keeping the corrupting energies at bay in the NSM. The five artifacts were placed around the NSM in a circle trapping the energy inside and keeping it from escaping. There is a realization that all five artifacts have been removed allowing the energy (and TOWIE) to escape. It is also mentioned that the five artifacts need to be activated but the five members of the Court of Sardior to start the summoning ceremony. The party then works to find out what the five artifacts are, but they can only figure out one more of them, The Astrolabe. The party then must decide which cities to activate the two artifacts in to protect them from the incoming corruptive energies. It is decided to save Seglock with the Moonwell and Gammelguard with the Astrolabe. At this point the Shadowy energies reach Seglock and the players defend the Library and the Moonwell from shadowy creatures that have arrived with the clouds. Just as the last shadowy creature is dispatched, the moon reaches apogee (5pm).		The action shifts to a large library in the middle of Seglock where the Moonwell has been relocated.

	As a wave of darkness rolls across the river the party heads to the north of the city to meet it head on. When they arrive they find several NPCs have taken shelter in a church and that three large shadowy monsters have stepped out of the dark mist. The shadow creatures both attack the party and begin assaulting the church to get to the NPCs inside. This was a brutal fight and the entire party was almost wiped multiple times. Unfortunately all the NPCs in the are were killed. The smaller shadow beasts were killed prior to the start of phase 3 but the shadow giant remained. Luckily more players arrived just as phase 3 began.		As a wave of darkness rolls across the river the party heads to the north of the city to meet it head on.

			=== The Astrolabe Reaches Gammelgard ===
			With the arrival of the Astrolabe to Gammelgard, it was chosen to have a last stand at the docks protecting the ships with survivors of the Kendra attack. The Astrolabe was put in the lighthouse before one last push by shadow creatures to prevent the activation. The attack was thwarted and the astrolabe was successfully activated.

They talk him down, explaining that there's no excuse for the behavior of the Phase I team, and that they want his help to try to save the city. - A few players (Satch/Anna) show up DEMANDING WOVENSTONE just in time while the team is talking to Tolme. He explains that they can refine it in the factory, which they take the time to do. The wovenstone leaves with Satch/Anna/Jon - Tolme says he'll work on something to push back the darkness but they have to try to save whoever else they can before the city is swallowed by the darkness. - The players manage to rescue 8 survivors and usher them back to the lab (including 1 dog), but Tolme is unable to find a solution in time. They hop in a cart and drive out of Sneerwell like a bat out of hell, taking whatever wovenstone they can along the way.		- In the streets, the team encounters '''Shadow Corrupted Warforged-Centaurs''', the ones from phase 1, now one with the shadows.

 If it hadn't been for Silent this table would have been a complete wipe. They made three summons over the course of the game including Flame and two Deathlocks which served mostly as distractions and meatbags to protect the players. In addition they used a number of Death Wards and I doubt Silent walked away with any remaining power. The arrival of refined Aerocrystal and Wovenstone only came near the end. We had the reveals of both Markoth and Asgar as well as players having the chance to behold the Obsidian Dragon and the Citadel. The fact that the ship made it out, even though all of the dwarves died as well as most of the crew, excluding Karyna LeChamp, is a miracle.
