Adventures of the Windswift: The Lost Episode (Narration)
14A narrated retelling of my memories of "The Lost Episode".
"After Blaxton's palm lit up, he decided to discreetly bring Senator Vyx out of the estate, to the confused distress of Judzidari Tolriarius, who saw a Senator walk away from her dinner table for no reason that she could see.
He took the Senator in his own spider-drawn sled to head into the city itself, and during that ride they spoke at length. Vyx told him that Cruvix was not working for him, but that he was working for Cruvix. The ice elf had first contacted him years ago, asking him to buy up a piece of land outside the city, which he claimed was the location of a temple and some powerful artefacts. Senator Vyx had tried, but with Nasri's spiteful interference it had taken far longer than it should have done. Months ago, Cruvix showed up again just as the land purchase was finally moving forwards and has been pressuring Vyx to hurry the matter since.
Blaxton arrives at the office of Senator Vestasios, and hands over Vyx to her to deal with. It is a polite show of diplomacy that seems to impress her, and she seems grateful for the opportunity to clean up her own mess quietly, rather than involving the Order. She promises to assist the Captains in any way she can, and even promises to see what she can do about releasing Athlen Vandendar, the halfling accused of the murder.
The other Captains, now in the bowels of Senator Vyx's city tower, came across a room with ice elves, bowed over a map on which an obelisk-shaped marker stood. One of them grabbed the map and fled through a second door, while the rest fought the Captains, to delay them. They were defeated after doing some serious damage, and the Captains tracked the fleeing elf down into a network of tunnels. Using some spectral tracking hounds summoned by Con, they managed to follow their prey through miles of dark tunnels, until they finally find themselves in a huge cavern. At the end of it they see a massive pyramid-shaped temple, and in the distance they see their prey, limping and injured, heading towards it. Above is a massive bright rift, presumably the one that was made by the earthquake, and they can see the distant lights of the drow lands above. They make their way through the cavern, which is overgrown with a strange breed of crystal trees, and their sharp "leaves" end up doing even more damage to our heroes, so that by the time they finally reach the temple on the other side, they are barely standing upright. The elf's blood tracks enter the temple ahead of them. At the end of it they see a massive pyramid-shaped temple, very similar to the ziggurat they found at the Gam Spire"
