13. January 14th, 2025 Ardeep Woods

The Flame of Faerun gathered their bearings and continued on their journey towards Neverwinter. They had a few stops in between, most notably at Waterdeep.

It took them a few days but they got half way between Daggerford and Waterdeep before they saw a strange, floating pillar above Ardeep Woods to the east. After some deliberation, the group decided to check it out. Once they got close, the tower disappeared and they were ambushed by three Assassin Vines and five Stirges. While the group quickly dispatched of the Stirges, one of the Assassin Vines got a hold of Ingrid and started to make a run for it. While it almost got away, it was eventually taken down, but not before it had taken Ingrid with it. Ruga tried to see if anything could be done, but unfortunately Ingrid had lost their life in the ambush.

As they traveled a few more days and got to Waterdeep, they were unable to find a temple that was willing to revive Ingrid, until they found the Temple of Sune, where Kavyl convinced them to at least give it a shot before refusing. They provided the diamond needed to cast the Raise Dead spell and after an attempt to give Ingrid new life, they had unfortunately failed and Ingrid's injuries and time that had passed was too much for the spell to succeed.

Defeated, the remaining members of the Flame of Faerun left the temple and went to plan their next move.
