    apparatus.

    around and attack from behind.  While the “from behind 

    Oozanderthals” make their moves, the 3 in front of Danika and 

    Radomir’s teams get into a fight with the PCs.  The PCs kill 2 of 

    the monsters before the reinforcements arrive from behind.  The 

    remaining monsters are killed and the combined teams decide to 

    take a breather in this room before exploring further.

    Tomasz.  After the fight, Zora leaves the ledge to re-join her team 

    and Tomasz re-positions himself on the ledge to wait for his leader’s

    position where Radomir stationed him.

    strangely quiet machines.  Each machine has a button that is sculpted 

    to look like a gargoyle’s face.  They are able to see a piece of 

    machinery that is located in a nearby room that juts above the quartz 

    walls.

  • They push all 3 Gargoyle buttons, which turns off the lighting storm. 

    (5 turns.)

  • They scale the wall and peer down into several different rooms.  

    1 contains a Cockatrice that they kill with ranged attacks.  Another 

    contains the large mechanical apparatus they observed from the 

    Teleport room.  Another has strange humanoid beings (Luhuloi) 

    moving about and through the exterior of the egg like it isn’t solid.  

    Those beings wave and seem friendly, but they don’t speak when 

    spoken to by Danika and Radomir’s team members.

Ctyri Ctvrt Chronicles Session #34

This is the Pathfinder version's art.  I have and am running the Sword & Wizardry version. 

 

 

Session 34- Dreams Reveal the Duskward Concord, 

An Evening Star Lodge Faction

2/14/2026

  • Before Danika and Telefe were awoken to fight the Morlocks, 

    they both experienced dreams of an Evening Star Lodge party 

    led by Radomir Vesely.  Danika dreamt of their visit to the 

    Flaming Goat in Marlinko; Telefe dreamt of their aborted attempt 

    to cross the Invisible Causeway.

  • When they arrive at the ridge across from the 

    Spire of Iron and Crystal, they see half erased chalk sigils of 

    Habeka.  Radomir introduces himself and his party to Danika 

    and hers.  Danika and Telefe had previously warned their 

    members to be silent when they meet anyone.

  • A temporary alliance is formed when Radomir and Ilva 

    signal their intention to save Nattias, who had been Ilva’s 

    mentor and the mentor of Radomir’s brother.  Nattias had 

    been influential in the Evening Star Lodge before 

    “falling into the Void” joining the Starry Void Lodge.

  • Telefe gives a 10 minute warning for the Invisible Causeway’s 

    time of operation.

  • Danika leads the party across.  Torquil attempts the tri-split path, 

    but Danika makes him turn back to wait on the ridge in relative 

    safety.

  • They eventually enter the Spire at the highest egg chamber and 

    they end the session in room #1.  Zora and Tomasz wait on the 

    intermediary platform with rope to aid in climbing.
