Starday, 29 Kuthona, 4708 A.R., to Moonday, 8 Abadius, 4709 A.R.

The party continues the fight against the powerful shadow-infused triceratops. Alizander, like Carlos, falls in the thick of battle, sacrificing his life in the effort to defeat the monstrous creature. In the end, Vaeden and Jancen manage to destroy the thing and retreat from Delvehaven with Tavo and the bodies of Alizander and Carlos.

Back at the Returners’ safehouse, the surviving members of the group consult with Arael, Janiven, and Ailyn. Ailyn agrees to purchase the nearly-complete set of the Pathfinder Chronicles from the party, and Vaeden, Tavo, and Jancen begin searching for the expensive material components to bring Alizander and Carlos back from the dead. Barella, the itinerant priest of Iomedae who assisted the Returners when Vaeden was ill with mummy rot, agrees to perform the ritual to raise the fallen heroes. With some coaxing, the spirits of both Alizander and Carlos are ushered back from the planes of their gods – Alizander from Cayden Cailean’s domain in Elysium, and Carlos from the realm of Nethys in the turbulent Maelstrom.

The Returners take the rest of the week to rest and recover before venturing back to Delvehaven to continue exploration of its storied halls. During that time, the group meets decides it could use some assistance during its investigation of the old lodge, and after some inquiring takes on an Inquisitor recently arrived in Westcrown.
