We deal with another uphill climb-themed map.

We clear this one out again – and still no fusil drops. ?

Unfortunately, we don’t get any dropped fusils.

We run into a few enemy Fusiliers!

We move on to the Lightning Temple.

We take on the guardian of the WInd Temple, and set to doing some crafting to show how that system works.

We clear the entrance to the Wind Temple.

We have our first level where the tileset shifts from “Fortress” to “Temple”.

We go against a combined group of Winged, Griffons, and Wind Dragons.

We encounter a new subclass of the Winged – the Night Crow.

We continue our decent through the Wind Temple’s fortress levels.

We decide to go after the Wind Shrine first.

We finally take down the boss, and learn the truth about the Fortresses.

We finally start to make our approach directly on the Lich themselves.

We continue slogging through the Lich’s minions.

Our last one of these is a fortress that a Lich appears to have moved into.

We continue to fortress number three to get mopped up.

We move on to the next of the fortresses we need to clean out for this side quest.

We end this session by clearing out another fortress.

We start to clear the path to our next big side quest.

I clear out the fort’s defenders and start to put together a plan for this side-quest.

We start to make our way to the top of the fortress.

We face a bunch of healers entrenched at the top of the fortress.

No propane here, just supporters of the late Heirophant who want Denam dead.
