Upon leaving Orlbar, the group travels towards the desert lands. The road is uneventful for many days. The party makes their way into the eastern mountains and arrives at the Dawn Pass. Controlled by a mighty beholder, each party member must pay a toll of 10 gold pieces to be granted safe passage. After traveling for several more days the group makes camp in the final foothills just above the vast desert floor. The shinning city can be seen as just a glimmer on the horizon. Greenleaf and Max begin making daily flights to scout the best rout to the city.
One afternoon the party encounters a group of soldiers traveling away from the city. The druids help them with some quick water to wine as a gesture of good will. They tell us that the city is controlled by the Invincible Overlord and his demon consort. They also offer to sell us a map of the city which we purchase for 500 gp.
Orthan arrives the following day and the party leaves the foothills headed for the mysterious city.
