Battle quickly started, and after a few seconds, Rolen was down, dying. Drazz the lich, his flesh golem and a ghost ripped through the Godsends, forcing them on their heels. Luckily Grum, who had been snooping around elsewhere in the tower, arrived to lend a hand. Still, the Godsends did not fare much better. Grum soon went down, dead, killed by the magic of the lich. Rolen was down and almost out as well, and things did indeed look gloomy for our heroes. Suddenly his armor brought Rolen back from the brink of death, and the near-death experience sent his mind spinning, recalling the future - or past if you will. In a sudden flash of insight, Rolen recalled how to raise the dead on the battlefield, and promptly raised Grum back from the dead, giving him a second chance.
That turned the battle, and eventually, the Godsends prevailed and killed all of their foes.
Aside from the gold, the rituals and the magical items, the Godsends found a lot of useful information.
- There are 4 so-called Sky Gems
- They can be used to weaken Piranoth, the Destroyer of Worlds
- They are linked (somehow) to a place called Argent
- Argent is located somewhere NE of Erelhei-Cinlu, presumably, after falling through the cracks of the earth a long time ago.
- The Sky Gems are also linked to the Divine Engine
- The following people have a Sky Gem
- Iquel, a githyanki treasure-hunter (now with the Godsends)
- Matron Mother T'Xza of House Freth (now with the Godsends)
- The Forsaken
- Matron Mother G'eva Jaraxx

The Godsends returned to the halls of the Silent Swords, and told Mistress D'iha that when they had gotten to Iquel, the gem had already been sold - sold to Matron Mother G'eva Jaraxx. An amazing bluff and some good lies convinced D'iha and soon enough she started to make plans to get the Sky Gem back. She also mentioned that the goblin assassin that they killed during the raid on House Freth.

D'iha summoned them and ordered them to head south to Bliss, and take care of a problem there for some customers.- something about some unruly slaves.
The Godsends decided to swing by Argent, and see if they could find it.
Lordday 9th Zeptambor, Year 1456
Using Shadow Walk, the Godsends accelerated their travel-speed and headed to the location mentioned in Drazz' notes. There they found an underground magically protected city. Sensing that the wards would only react against evil, the Godsends entered Argent.
There they met Obamar, the ghost custodian of the city, an ancient place of heroes, a place built to fight the darkness.
From him and the library of Argent, they learned that the Forsaken are a servitor tribe of goliaths, who have served the city of Argent for many years, only to leave it around 50 years ago.
A divine engine is a type of artifact, although one of godlike power and origin. At least a dozen divine engines were known to have been crafted during the Dawn War. Piranoth's Bane is one such artifact.
As the Dawn War was drawing to a close, the gods crafted a divine engine with the specific purpose of defeating and imprisoning the primordial known as Piranoth. It was successful in its use. and Piranoth was banished for all eternity.
Piranoth's Bane, a divine engine also called KIafekku, was designed by Erathis, the god of invention, and Torog, the god of imprisonment. Moradin, god of creation and artisans, constructed the artifact and gave it form and substance. It had to be used after Piranoth was defeated, while he was in an unconscious state. After it was used. Kord, the god of strength and battle, shattered the divine engine into five pieces, each of which flew off to a different corner of the multiverse.
One piece of Piranoth's Bane was found by a champion named Deekon, who gave it to the guardian of Argent for safekeeping. This piece is stored in the vaults beneath the Guardian's Tower. This last bit of information is no longer true. Also, the custodians of Argent are said to have been given 4 pieces of Piranoth, which can along with the right ritual can be used to weaken him.
