Picking up where we last left off, the Tempests were deep underground below Takatari to deal with a literal blight upon the land. A massive wormlike creature had been burrowing through the land, spreading its pestilence and disease to every corner of the Empire. Having rescued some hapless villagers, the Tempests bravely went back into the depths to rid the world of this creature and its spawn once and for all. First on their list, was to destroy the creature's nests; a task that proved to be a bit more difficult than they originally thought. A peculiar item was recovered from within the skull of one of the creatures that had been growing in the nest, and it seemed to point the party in the correct direction: a Duergar city located within an expansive cavern. Making their way deeper into the city, the party was ambushed, but managed to fight off the creatures, only to have their progenitor erupt from the ground and begin searching for the Tempests. The party found a cellar that they could recuperate in and plan their next moves. Coming up with a plan, the Tempests lured the gargantuan beast into the open and eventually slayed it. But the Scourge wouldn't go down quietly. As the final blow was struck by Zaan's blade, the beast exploded, leveling many of the surrounding buildings and splashing nearly everything with it's ichor. There was no time to sit and take stock as the city itself began to collapse upon the death of the Scourge. The very substance covering everything in sight began to wilt away, what was once holding up the crumbled buildings now sloughing off. After a mad dash out of the city, the Tempests made it across the bridge leading back into the underground tunnel network.

Last we left off, the Tempests headed deep underground to remove what they assumed was the source of the blight afflicting the Takatari Empire: a colossal worm-like creature that had been digging its way into every corner of the continent. They had already succeeded in eliminating one of its nests where twisted beings were incubating. Snuffing the life from these creatures, the Tempests went to rest in a nearby ruined outpost where they had a horde of undead Duergar sent after them. Successfully repelling the attack, the party investigated the second nest and found it barren save for one malformed corpse. Within the corpse's skull was a crystallized bit of brain matter that seemed capable of tracking these creatures, and Zaan, further cementing the reality that the rabbit man was related to these creatures in some way. Moriko took the crystal and used it to help them navigate towards more of the creatures, which eventually led them to the underground Duergar city. Moving through the corrupted, flesh covered streets, the party was ambushed by more fully formed aberrations of the sort they'd killed within the nest. With a few close calls, the creatures were dealt with, only to have their progenitor finally emerge from within the earth. The colossal beast is now on the hunt, knowing that the Tempests were there somewhere.

Picking up where we last left off, the Tempests had delved deep into the earth to rescue some survivors of a sinkhole collapse. While they were down there, they learned of a Duergar city that had supposedly been destroyed by a large underground worm-like creature. This same creature, the survivors claimed, was likely the source of the blight on the surface. The survivors also informed the Tempests of a pair of nests nearby that should be destroyed post haste. Agreeing with that the nests needed to be purged, the Tempests returned underground after escorting the survivors back to civilization to handle business. The first nest was destroyed after a prolonged battle of a whopping 20seconds that felt like 3 hours. The Tempests chose to return to the ruined outpost to rest and heal their wounds, only to be woken up in the middle of the night at the urging of Moriko and Lakin, who spotted an unknown creature standing at the edge of the cavern. The creature supposedly sent a large wave of Duergar undead to attack them. With a little bit of fire and a whole lot of exploding bones, the horde was dealt with and the Tempests were allowed to rest. Upon investigating the second nest in the morning, they found it to be empty, or rather, dead. The flesh-like substance grey and flaking off the walls. One corpse remained, and a crystalized bit of brain matter was found within. After a short time of studying it, they discovered that it seemed to be able to locate the creatures they'd fought in the nest... and Zaan... We rejoin the tempests now as Moriko leads the party to a bridge that leads into the large underground Duergar city... The name of which has not been learned yet.
