==== Aftermath ====
Last session, [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]]'s spirit flew up and into the atropal and, through the power of her faith, she unleashed rays of sunshine into the heart of the creature and, apparently, destroyed it.

Back in [[the Shadowfell]], [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]], [[Strix]], and [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] sensed that the [[death curse]] was gone.

In the dark tunnel, smoke lingers from the ''fireball''. They can hear the crashing of the waves from outside.

There's a bright amber light out in [[the Shadowfell]] that illuminates the beach.

[[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] notes that this is twice now that [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] has saved them. The heroes take a short rest. 

[[Strix]] prays to [[Lathander|the Morninglord]]. [[Waffles]] makes sad noises.

There's a creature in these tunnels. It's Death.

==== The Afterlife ====

Meanwhile, [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] is being tossed into the air. It is a bright, sunny morning. She begins to fall. Someone catches her. She looks into the eyes of her father. This is a memory.

Now, her dad is gone. [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] looks around and realizes that she's in her human form. [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] sees [[Zaress]], the priestess she met in [[the Soulmonger]]. She's 40 years younger than she appeared to be previously.

[[Zaress]] is watching a boy, who is on a swingset. The kid's name is Dortimer Ankathra. 

[[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] sees that they weren't annihilated. She wonders aloud if [[Lathander]] saved them.

[[Zaress]] says that it was [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] who saved thousands of souls. She's heard murmurings of sainthood in association with [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]]'s name.

[[Zaress]] tells [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] that since she did not die a natural death, there's a path back to the natural world.

[[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] wants to say hello to [[Lathander]].

[[Zaress]] and [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] talk some more. [[Zaress]] points out that the greatest gift is not a soul. It's love.

"What is a soul without a soul mate?"

[[Zaress]] urges [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] not to rely entirely on [[Lathander]]. "Don't lean too far into your belief in him, as it is more important to believe in yourself."

==== Death ====
Back in [[the Shadowfell]], the group starts following "Death". He seems to be leading them in a square path.

[[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] casts ''mislead'', which allows him to become invisible.

Death says "I'm free". It starts to cast a spell. [[Strix]] casts ''counterspell'' and shuts it down.

"Are you [[Acererak]]?", the group asks.

"No."

"Are you death?"

"I am Death."

Death explains that it was a prisoner of the balhannoth. It explains that this Death is one of many Deaths.

The group wants him to bring back [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]]. He says he can't do that.

Death has a couple of scrolls. It's his naughty and nice list.

Death tells them how to get out of the tunnels. They've got two choices: Go through the wall or walk around the whole path.

After some searching, [[Strix]] falls into a pit full of corpses. From the ceiling, a fresh corpse falls and lands with a splat.

[[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] uses the ''horn of blasting'' to blow a hole through the wall.

Back in the afterlife, [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] calls upon her steed. She is delighted to see that [[Mourning Glory]] has wings! She's now a pegasus. End of session.{{Episode nav|state=expanded}}
