Session 22 - The Monastery

The Dogs of War stepped through the portal in Stormwood and traveled into the madness and chaos of the plane of Limbo. Soon after arriving they were ambushed by a band of slaadi. After a bitter fight, they defeated the slaadi, and were immediately approached by a group of githzerai who had been hunting the slaadi. The githzerai took the party back to their colony and presented them to the colony's leader, Muurgeth. She was glad to help the party reach the Monastery of the Five Disciples of Pahazep and sent them on their way with a guide. Once at the monastery, the party met the Five Disciples of Pahazep and offered to trade for the Zenythri Preceptor, which the party desired. The disciples agreed to let the party have the preceptor if the party could pass a "test of strength and will." The party agreed and were shown to rooms where they could rest and prepare. Along the way, they noticed a group of modrons inside the monastery. The modrons paid no attention to the party.

The Test of Strength and Will consisted of combat against a group of githzerai monks. The party defeated the monks so handily that the entire monastery was a buzz talking about the martial prowess of these strangers from Sigil.
