RANA MOR

GAMES 3 AND 4, NOVEMBER, 2002

We fought our way through the ruined temple. The human Banda only controlled a portion of the complex. A destrachan laired in one corner and a previously unseen kind of undead called huecuva controlled the other rooms.

It took one more day to work our way to the inner tower, then two more days to get past the water elementals and puzzles guarding it.

Once inside we found traps and more huecuvas, including the Priest-Lord Sangket and his mummified warriors. After defeating them we found Varden hidden in one of six heavily trapped crypts. The Banda had ransomed Andrinor away. We were rewarded with a stunning array of historic and powerful artifacts interred with the Rangka Kings.

On the way back to the Golden Swan, a day later, we were confronted by the remaining Banda. They had stalked us since the first night we entered Rana Mor, but were immediately attacked by a green dragon named Verdithrax, who had put the Banda up to kidnapping Varden in the first place. Devin made the final attack on the dragon, but his earlier display of cowardice shook the trust of the party.

That night we found a tiger that the Banda had trapped to use against us. Varden befriended it and took it with us to the Golden Swan. We spent exactly seven days at Rana Mor.
