60th session

The fight against King Balor, his pet Quickling and Nymph lover was brutal, especially because they were joined by a Balor demon, summoned by the Evil Eye. The battle raged for what seemed for ages, with especially Gnoguh taking a severe beating. Not once, not twice, but six times he was down and out for counting, but he just kept coming back. At the end, the Swords of Drahar prevailed and killed the evil fey king and his allies.

They collected the spoils of war (250.000 gold pieces, the Evil Eye, a plate armor and a necklace) and promptly ported back to the church of Drahar.

There they found out that the next and last piece of the ritual is the Chamber of Rituals in the City of Brass.

They also found no less than 3 powerful nobles camped outside Drahar, all three wanting Gnoguh as either their son-in-law or husband.

• King Hjanko, a mighty king from the west wants Gnoguh to marry his daughter Jezzira and help him defend his kingdom against the Ebon Empire.
  
• Drahonir Zulfur - Merchant Prince of the Auran Empire to the north, wants Gnoguh to marry his daughter Eliza and eventually take over the running of his private army which protects the biggest merchant fleet in the world.
  
• Queen Azimella - Ruler of a distant land, sent by the visions of her oracle, wants to marry Gnoguh and have him lead her 100.000's of soldiers in conquest of a new empire.

Torn found his sage tower besieges by people of all sorts. Supplicants wanting to become apprentices, powerful being seeking advice and knowledge, and of course a group of tieflings wanting him to resurrect the might of the tiefling houses in Drahar.

Carric was approached by a delegation from the Auran Empire. They had begun building a huge cathedral of Akir, and they want him as high priest to run the Cathedral and eventually the church of Akir in the Auran Empire.
