 \\ **37th Sun’s Birth**: Along the way to Miles’ Landing, they encounter King, a wyrmling shadow dragon, who becomes enamoured with the party, especially Persephone, and has taken to calling Marco “Bad Joke” for his puns, and May “Good Joke” for her endearing attempts to cover for Marco’s puns (**300xp each**). Shortly afterward, they encounter a shadow bear, which, despite some frighteningly painful swipes, they manage to defeat (**200xp each**), followed shortly by May noticing that a large boulder along the trail seems to be an illusion covering a flight of stairs going into the rock. Going down the stairs, the party discover the Crossroads Club, a rebranded extraplanar club hosted the manager Nona, a silver haired cheery girl dressed in classic host clothing. She introduces the club to them, and they notice that the club has exits to all of the planes, bar the moral ones and the material, which Nona explains are barred from entering, due to them causing too much ruckus with the opposing morals. The party ask if their currency is accepted here, to which Nona hesitates for a moment, before saying that their gold would be accepted, should they wish to pay with it, before seating them and returning behind the bar to serve. May takes the opportunity to see if she can find any patrons that may have recently visited the material, but feels patronised by the attendants, and possibly also slightly intimidated, as they all emanate an aura of power. Marco takes the opportunity to order some exotic food, and Persephone offers to pay, taking her money to the bar, where she learns the true form of payments: Memories that have “rubbed off” on items. Armed with this information, Persephone instead pays with some knick knacks, though opting not to pay with something too personal, while May is horrified by the information and takes it as a deception on Nona’s behalf. May’s feelings aside, Persephone orders food for King and herself, the bartender offering to let the chef decide what to make for King, which turns out to be a human leg, which further horrifies May, and puts Marco and Persephone in a state of uneasiness, though the bartender assures her that the food is magically conjured, and that no humans were hurt in the process. Additionally, Marco is served dragon stew, another recommendation by the chef, in what the waiter says the chef described as “delicious irony”, though this fact is kept away from King. Eventually the party is satiated, and decide to return to the plane of malevolence, to continue their quest, making their way to Miles’ landing. \\ **37th Sun’s Birth**: Along the way to Miles’ Landing, they encounter King, a wyrmling shadow dragon, who becomes enamoured with the party, especially Persephone, and has taken to calling Marco “Bad Joke” for his puns, and May “Good Joke” for her endearing attempts to cover for Marco’s puns (**300xp each**).

 \\ **38th Sun’s Birth**: At Miles’ Landing they find an infestation of shadow rats, their incredible density seeming to make them bleed through the plants into the material. May attempts to turn them, using the light that she glows internally with, creating a burst of positive energy, searing away the rats, before they swiftly return, like a wave crashing over a collapsing ship. She decides a more permanent solution is required, and that will require them to gather some materials from the positive energy plane... \\ **38th Sun’s Birth**: At Miles’ Landing they find an infestation of shadow rats, their incredible density seeming to make them bleed through the plants into the material.

She decides a more permanent solution is required, and that will require them to gather some materials from the positive energy plane...
 +\\ **39th Sun’s Birth**: The party arrive back at crossroads club, looking for a path to the positive energy plane, and bargain with the patrons for a means of positive energy protection, but learn that their internal light protects them from the effects of the positive energy plane as well. They find themselves within the North Saronian forests, and decide to follow the rivers toward the mountains, where May suspects they will find the most abundant powerstones, and possibly some Lumi settlements.
 +\\ **1st Sun’s Wrath**: The party finds a Lumi mining settlement, and Persephone manages to impress them with a haunting melody that deeply moves the Lumi, one of which insists on giving her a magical armor (+1 healing breastplate, that also acts as a masterwork perform item). The party visit the Lumi church and learn that the creatures of darkness have spread far and wide, even onto this far corner of the planet, infesting the mines and feasting on the positive energy of the power stones. A crusader agrees to help them, in the hopes that the power stones they manage to harvest will help them in their plight, but due to the infestation says that they will not be able to send help beyond their lands.
 +\\ **2nd Sun’s Wrath**: The party make it to the mine and manage to avoid antagonising any of the creatures of darkness, though watching in horror as they feast on the light and multiply before their very eyes. Delving into the mine, they manage to secure a large piece of powerstone, but on their retreat, they catch the ire of one of the creatures, forcing them to flee, and fight it once they get far enough away from the other creatures (700xp each). The party thank the crusader, before parting ways and heading back to the crossroads club to return to the shadowy version of miles’ landing.
 +\\ **5th Sun’s Wrath**: The party arrives back at Miles’ Landing with the powerstone, and May begins to use it to create a barrier to prevent creatures of darkness infesting the crops any further. As they begin work, they’re interrupted by a presence in the fields, which Persephone pre-emptively shoots at, only to find it’s a shadow of a man who apparently lives in the twisted, darkened version of Miles’ landing hinting at a present population in this version of the land. May however, decides to focus on establishing the barrier, as they proceed to build it.
 +\\ **7th Sun’s Wrath**: As the barrier begins to enter into the woodland along the base of the Verdant Peak, the party are ambushed by shadow elves, however Persephone manages to prevent any bloodshed by explaining what they are doing. The elves tell them to cease what they are doing until an elder is brought. A few hours later, the party is explaining to the elven elder what they are doing, and why, and manage to agree to close off only a portion of the forest, for the barrier keeps the elves’ game at bay, and thus would starve them, but allowing for a small portion to be protected would enable the land to be grown back after the encroaching calamity. Persephone also manages to convince them to create a small safe haven near the fey shrine on the material, as a place for the elves to retreat, should the creatures of darkness press them too hard (2500xp each).
 +\\ **10th Sun’s Wrath**: The party manage to finish constructing the barrier of light around Miles’ Landing ensuring that the town will be able to resist against the incoming calamity….
