Task 1:
Lions meet Elix, a druid who wants to help. He suggested Garrick head to highlands to the northernmost rise to perform the yearly Rite of the Greeting Sun, where the morning light would illuminate “what you need to see.”
- Location: New location in wilderness (northern rise north of Carenhold)
- Task: Perform the Ritual
Task 2:
Garric sees strange colored smoke rising from a supcisious camp North of Summershield. Presuming this is what Elix wanted him to see, the Lions go investigate. There they find ratkin about to sacrifice a duskling, Kurdan.
- Location: new location in wilderness, north of Summershield. Near woods
- Task: Free the Captive.
- Kurdan the Duskling joins warband as follower
Task 3:
Kurdan told the Lions of a old hermit who lived west of Carenhold who seemed knowledgeable about the undead activities and may be able to help them, but his help will likely come at a cost.
- Location: New location in wilderness
- Task: Information Costs. Go there, find a wise individual. Perform a contract for them. Then return. No pay for the contract.
Task 4:
After returning to Atos’s hut, they find it appears to now be aged and abandoned, but they find a (recent) letter thanking them for finding the urn and saying that Saint Nythar deserved to be put to rest. It directs them to head to the mouth of the Rillwater next.
There they encounter a tribe of lizardfolk corrupting the river. The Lions defeat the lizardfolk, and in the process uncover they were using a ritual tome authored by the Lich Czaszud to corrupt the waters. The tome was said to have been buried with the Lich, which the lizardfolk must have some how found.
While the Lions were searching the camp, a feral ranger named Engos approached, drawn by their ruckus. Although he was originally suspicious, Brother Garrik explained the situation and his credentials. Engos, a veteran of the area, knew the area where the lich was rumored to be buried at the edge of the Starpoint Swamps and volunteered to lead the group and aid them in making sure the undead wizard says dead.
- Location: new location in wilderness
- Task: fetch something
Finale:
Lions raid the tomb. Long drawn out battle with lots of undead but eventually re-seal the burial location with rituals to ensure the Lich can’t rise.
