DragonFlight 45: Palace of the Sorceress, Take 1
The party infiltrated Methween’s keep via a cliffside grate, silently bypassed sentries, and struck down imps, an ogre, and his lion. They defeated deathtraps, slew Methween mid-ritual, and looted her treasures. A final battle with a winged statue nearly felled Aurora, but they escaped alive. The sorceress lay dead, her fortress leaderless—though danger still lingers.
