I'm honestly not really sure where this title came from but that's what it is in my notes so that's what it is. Our heroes are headed into the Gem mines of Aberdean right after they deal with these pesky skellies. Merlin decides to check out these glowing lanterns and Ghost Slinger is the only one who can roll above a 4. Sounds about normal. This art was the inspiration for the dwarven drawbridge. I am sorry it is too low res for me to make out the signature and give proper credit. If you do kno...

Our heroes are back in the Material Plane and if everything worked they should have far fewer Orks in their path. Now they just have to make it through the forgotten city back to the top of the mountain. That shouldn't be so tough.

There's a caster holding a barrier up around the castle to keep the Undead Dragon at bay, but Orks are swarming the walls. If they interrupt the caster it will spell the end for our heroes and their scaly new friends. Audio gets a little dicey at the end. I tried to fix it but it's a very manual process.

With a greater understanding of the amulet that Ghost Slinger has been carrying the party moves north out of the woods. They come upon a series of farm houses that are seemingly housed by just the nicest families. And everyone wants the travelers to stay the night in their home. They get a warning when they continue the next day about a windmill further up the road. Each family has a house as unique as them. These are some of the reference images that I used in my notes.
