Debrief

The party are hired in admidst obvious tension between the Guild of Miners and the Union of Miners to investigate the cessation of the flow of ore from the mines of the Bluepeaks. Journeying north they find Greystone Gulch destroyed, the mountain torn apart and the settlement razed. Moving on they are able to rescue many of the Miners at Strom's Dip who sheltered in the mine as some mysterious force tore up the mountain around them. When they are waylaid by a group of caulish soldiers they also learn that these mines were not the only ones attacked. Caul's mines have also been targeted and the party are able to prevent a diplomatic incident by convincing the Caulish that Acryn is not to blame.

Finally at Highgate Pass the party find the source of the devastation, a great floating citadel hewn into the shape of an alien face. It hovers above the settlement as black armoured figures round up the miners, directed by red robed mages: the Magisterium.

The party are able to free the villagers and cut down the magisterium sorcerers but even as they do so the ground begins to quake as mana crystals are pulled from the earth into the mouth of the citadel. Using the magical chains of the dead wizards the party ascend to the citadel in search of children taken by the Magisterium. At the summit of the fortress the party confront the ranking Magisterium sorceress who suggests that the Magisterium believes it alone has the right to the mana in Acryn's and will crush any who oppose it. Using powerful magics she attempts to destroy the party but they prevail but even as she dies she breaks the enchantment that holds the fortress aloft.

Racing through the crumbling citadel the party find the kidnapped children and drag them to safety as the floating smashes into the mountains and explodes. In the mine settlement they are hailed for their bravery. John and
