The battle barely ended when the next began – a moments
reprieve was all our heroes were afforded. Just enough to increase their
stamina and fortify themselves with elixirs, spells and the such to prepare
them for the newest creep to show her face.
Cywtris. The lich responsible, or so all presume, for the
entire trip through time and space laughs her cackle toward them as she
applauds their feeble attempts to rescue The Lady and Ichabod. Without warning
she flings her fingers open and jagged lightning shoots forth, massively
damaging the heroes, but they rally up quick and, with very little trouble due
to the extra levels Lucy has acquired, finish off the Lich, crumpling her with
a massive spell.
Now they must discover the secret to freeing The Lady and
Ichabod. They search and delve into their bags of tricks discovering, through a
detect magic spell, that there is indeed a spell over the dome. With further
investigation they discover it is an evocation school aura. Continuing their
concentrations they are fairly certain it is a Wall of Force protecting the
fragile dome.
Upon learning the spell’s properties, Lucy declares that she
can break it, but needs a full twenty-four hours to regain the ability. A choice is made to spend the time effectively ‘camping out’
inside the ring’s top, on the smooth glassy surface.
Will they end the spell? Will they find the one object they
hold which will safely release Ichabod and The Lady? Will they remember the
secret of the Lich…
Return next week as we soar, or tumble, to the apothéose of this arc…
