Session 68: The Price of the Passage

Venris signed Uravian's contract and the party won the bargain: gold, the passage pen, rubble clearing, barrier removal, and a clue to Belcorra's defeat. The party leveled to 9, failed several portal rituals, survived a brutal Nimbaloth-priest ambush, found dread wraiths in the library, and ended mid-attempt on another portal.

Previously on: The party had spent the prior session drafting a loophole contract with Menhem and Morlibint, aiming to satisfy Uravian's demand for a Rajani without surrendering Carman.

What to remember next time

• Resolve the final in-progress portal roll that was cut off after a critical failure result appeared in the transcript.
• Track the Uravian/Calito day window and whether more portal attempts are worth risking.
• Decide whether to avoid, fight, or investigate the dread wraiths in the library.
