The Dungeon House

As the party hears the crash of the metallic bull in the sea far below, they take the chance to finally catch their breathe and head back to the underground tunnels to rest. After a bit of strife over the treatment of a silk shirt subsides, the party receives a missive from Nigel Zolair, the necromancer the party has been trying to track down. With an invitation to talk, the party sleeps on what to do taking time during their watches to tailor, metal work, and deepen bonds. They set out early in the morning to Thorne's Tower and are greeted by skeletons forming a bridge for them. Once inside the tower, they are lead up to the top where they finally meet Zolair. Once given a chance to explain his motives and desire to change the Vigils, he invites the party to die, surrender, or join him. Lanaster reveals that he is against the Vigil's from the start and the party is given five minutes to discuss their choice. With a distraction and feigning to side with the necromancer from Moss and Barren, Alia sacrifices the necklace that her father gave her the day he died to be able to break the arcane seal protecting the Rod connected to the Conduit. A fight ensues and before the party can finish Nigel off, Opal uses the Rod on the Conduit and the stranger stands up and announces the Trial to be over.
