Fighting through frost giants, air elementals and various mephits they found the last crystal they sought. They returned to Mistress Jorino and apprentice Kaylan.

As they were discussing a further meeting apprentice Kaylan was whisked away to the trials. Who knows if she will succeed and become an Omnipotence in her own right, time will tell. Mistress Jorino paid the group and sent them on their way, instructing them that she will call upon them one more time for a special reward for the aid they have given them over the past few weeks.

1366 DR Hammer 28 - Daeron Beron Undon gathered a group of adventurers in the Black Unicorn tavern to find his son, Alvin, who went missing a few days ago in Laeril's Arms. Gaining information from a woman at Laeril's, they took a wagon to their next lead, Bezantur, where they were ambushed on the road and taken to a location underground and imprisoned. The group was able to escape, fighting their way through cultists of a secret religious and criminal organization known as the She-Spider Cult, loyalists of the combined worship of Shar and Lolth that intended to sell those captured as slaves. Those imprisoned, including their target Alvin, were released and safely brought back to civilization, while one captured Drow escaped on his own. The cult was brought down, but who knows if that was their main force or operation... Those that helped the Daeron reunite with his son were: Apprentice Thrune, Burmice val'Lazrien, Imrae Illarran, Kai Kimura, Molvar Senroth, Mynh'rae, Raven, Sorsha Olreda, and Vanessa Atwater.

They also discovered a mix of duergar undead, and undead from, based on the heraldry on their attire, the old Narfell Empire and Raumathar empire. The group also fought two powerful duergar undead, one with ancient armor. A mind flayer, going by Xyl, saw the group and indicated it was tracking the activities of the ancient alhoon Alkazarka for Xyl's mind flayer society, as they considered the outcast alhoon it to be an abomination. One of Alkazarka's skull minions appeared and gave an ultimatum to all present to have their cities surrender, or else. Those gathered scoffed at this, before the minion departed. The group consisted of Yathmalla Quarra Det'tar, Kroth Hammerheart, Kyesha Jors, Chessala Zoland, Nadal Zoland, and a mercenary named Rae'Zarra.

Having received a book of alternative cures for ailments and curses from the Guild of Foreign Trade, the group travelled to the Forested Valley to collect the necessary ingredients for this particular antidote. While in the forest a magical fireball was casted by one of the adventurers, burning the trees and angering the Treants and other Feyfolk before they began chasing them out of their home; luckily procuring the ingredients prior. Once returning to Nyrak a potion was brewed from all the gathered ingredients. Druula, Nyrak's wife, upon drinking the makeshift antidote, instead grew exponentially to the point where the roof of the building was almost ripped open. Within a couple of days she would return to her normal size, though unfortunately still hampered with her curse... for now, at least.

1366 DR 26 Eleasis  - Omnipotence Antilles Kren, with the aid of the Pearl of Prophecy, located a base of Alkazarka the alhoon. It was a Narfell fortress from the time of the ancient Narfell Empire, which somehow ended up shifted into a planar dimensional pocket. A group was tasked to proceed into Dillomat's Tower, enter the Astral Plane, and then enter the fortress from there. The group battled planar creatures to reach the fortress, and dispatched constructs and undead once inside.

While it was mostly abandoned, locked in a room were 4 decapitated bodies: 3 tied to chairs and 1 laying on the floor dressed similarly as one of the mysterious assassins. With careful deduction it was revealed that two of these corpses tied to chairs were legion members with their cloaks removed, and the mysterious assassin was "sacrificed" to keep the organization's movements hidden. The group also encountered a creature that was left there by the assassins, a shapeshifting ooze known as a Phasm.

Upon reaching the docks the group noticed a pirate ship sailing away, as they tried to give chase by sea using the Archeron ship.
