Summary:
Spoiler:
Party assembled in Sarshel and marched to vlasta, watched by shadows that dissolved in the sunlight. Upon arriving in Vlasta they met with Adorned Adler who spoke of undead deep in the swamp. The party departed on patrol to the deep swamp fighting through giant leeches and bog lights, before slaying a shambling mound. The party entered a ruin that emanated the chill of the undead. They fought through multiple swarms of undead lizardmen and trogs accompanied by ghouls and zombies, blessed by the Adorned's gifts from Ilmater, but were ambushed by shadows who were able to maintain their form and strike at the party.

Pressing onward into the depths of the ruin, the party was given more of Ilmater's blessings by Adorned Adler nd attacked by a horde of ghouls, infecting some of them with the creature's rotting teeth. Undeterred, they fought through a hall of approximately two dozen zombies with Alorn Adler blessing Edvard Adler's axe. Blackwing dipped her ammunition in holy water to make them more effective. A wraith was sensed, and with blessings dispatched. As the unholy spirit dissolved a mass of shadow creatures ambushed the party from the rear, consisting of lesser and greater shadows. Once these were dispatches with weapons imbued with holy light, a greater shadow taking the form of a winged demon attacked as well, focusing on the Adorned Adler. The party turned to defend her, and the creature was defeated though with difficulty. Holy light did not harm the creature as it did lesser shadows, only an enchanted weapon was able to pierce the creature's hide.

Continuing, the party fought through half a dozen greater skeletons supported by shadows and bow-wielding lesser skeletons by proper utilization of choke points. Galiner took the form of a bear and crushed the many of the bones into dust. Edvard Adler was weakened by the touch of the shadows but Alorn Adler was able to restore him through Ilmater's grace. Through some winding hallways they fought more skeleton and another horde of ghouls before coming to the place the evil seemed greatest. Again they were beset with a skeletal priest, a greater skeleton, lesser skeleton, greater shadows, lesser shadows. Drudo enchanted Valroc's blade as the unholy priest unleashed a hammer of the gods on the party, two shadow demons attacked, one from the front and one from the rear. Edvard Adler and Merney held the front line against many of these creatures while Alorn Adler intercepted the shadow demon at the rear. Both demons were fought off thanks to aid both arcane and divine, and the party was bleeding and wounded. Drudo was unconscious but woke and fought on without complaint. As the party entered the final room, they were again beset by shadows, and the enchantments had faded rendering their weapons barely effective against the creature. However, they were able to drive it off at last. They found a trapped vault with some scrolls and items inside and from the priest an enchanted blade. The weary party then departed from the ruin with haste and rested in Midrikaul.

The blade can perhaps can be of aid against these shadows, Alorn Adler has sent letters to seek a runesmith to see if it can be improved or properties better understood.

Spoiler:
This a hard-fought battle against foes wholly unnatural. That we survived is a testament to Ilmater's aid against these foes and the courage and fortitude of those that risked their lives this day. Discipline was maintained in the face of horrors not of this world, and many were destroyed in the process. Front Line was composed of Alorn Adler and Valroc. Midline was Edvard Adler and Adorned Adler and Galiner. Backline was Nemesk and Blackwing.
Alorn Jerek Adler, Paladin of Ilmater
