Family DnD Session 16. Back to Queens Watch

 The adventurers returned to Queens Watch. Paladin Danse met them at the docks saying they should get settled into a tavern for the night and then they can start Investigating where the wizard went with the chalice in Queens Watch. As they entered the town they noticed a large notice board. Azorak spotted a notice addressed to him??


The party headed to the Salted Pig to look for the mysterious D.  When they arrive and settle down a voice calls to Azorak. Another dwarf comes up to the table and introduces himself. Davarack is his name and he is Azoracks cousin. He explains Azoracks home and clan has been overun by an enemy and they have lost any kind of communication. He is leading a caravan of medical supplies but needs help to get to the clan survivors and he has heard about Azorak and his deeds. The party agree and the next day they set off. Davorak explains the enemy has blocked the main entrance with a camp so he will drop them at an abandoned mine which connects to their home.

They arrive and head in. An old mine awaits them, the first room used to be some kind of kitchen but has been turned into a grizzly trophy room. Skulls everywhere. A hell hound is guarding them and unleashes a gout of flame at the party who eventually vanquish it. Trey move on finding 2 dire wolves (1 injured) hiding from the hell hound. Ian the the druid explains he's gone and the wolves bound out of the mine. The party presses on, Downhead narrowly escapes an acid trap. They eventually find a large cavern where several what appears to be cultists chanting. One tells them that the party will never stop the black skull being summoned then suddenly he's possessed and the black skull speaks through him. He tells Azorak that his clan will be ground into dust, Ian the and Downhead their family will burn and Ragnum his tribe will be destroyed. The party charges into battle, Ragnum throws a cultist off a cliff and the cultists are vanquished under a hail of arrows and weapon strokes . The party discover stairs leading deeper into the mine. What will they find?
