The weakened prison allowed the power of Baba Yaga to flow into the party, increasing their natural armor! Vigliv re-emerged from the tree and told the team they needed to defeat Queen Bremagyr, a former servant of Baba Yaga who forgot her place. Locked in her iron fortress of Vashliq, Bremagyr is being punished for her failures. A portion of Baba Yaga’s power is still within the queen and can be used to further weaken the prison.
The empathic urging of Baba Yaga led them to the Canyon of the Drakes. The group climbed up some cliffs and were attacked by half a dozen rift drakes! The deadly dragons proved formidable with their razor jaws and exploding acidic spittle. The team used magic to become aerially mobile and resistant to acid. Erris flew out and fought in spectacular combat out over the canyon floor while Baknarla charged up the cliff to fight tooth-to-tooth with another drake. Magnus hit several drakes with a maximized flame strike, and Koshi unleashed a lethal barrage of sling stones, sending one drake plummeting to its death. Soon the team defeated the creatures and scaled to the top platform where they found a cave.
The group entered the cave and suddenly found themselves in a tent in another portion of the Dancing Hut! Within the hut were six women serving a large demonic-looking div who introduced himself as Mametqul, servant of Baba Yaga. The group talked for a while over coffee and learned he is an observer, witnessing Queen Bremagyr’s torture. He revealed the frigid land beyond his tent, the fallen kingdom being slowly sucked into a whirling maelstrom of chaos! He pointed out the iron fortress of Vashliq and told them to return with the queen’s crown, and he can send them back to Grandmother’s Cauldron.
As the team left, he muttered something about bats that Erris overheard. He stuck his head back in the tent, and Mametqul warned them of enormous bats they may encountered along the way.
