# Adventure Date Events 1 Into the Great Unknown Part 1 12-21-2011 The Mysterious Employer blackmailed the party into retrieving a certain weapon, which is most likely the Soul Blade. The party later found Astaroth, who really wanted to find it. 2 Into the Great Unknown Part 2 12-27-2011 The party members reached the cavern in which the blade was left… approached it and then out of nowhere the blade transformed into a flaming skeletal figure. In the resulting battle Astaroth was defeated and the rest of the team was saved by sudden appearance of the mysterious employer. The vile sword was forced back into its weapon form. According to the man the blade's power in its transformed state depends on the power of those who approach it in its resting form… therefore he needed the party to trigger it so that he could recover the artifact with ease. 3 Into the Great Unknown Part 3 Prologue 12-29-2011 Accompanied The Mysterious Employer (in "her" humanoid form) in the Floating Library. 4 Wednesday Night Fever 01-18-2012 Assisted Mali and Sirius in their investigation, smacked the vampire trying to hit on her… dead (?). 5 Into the Great Unknown Part 5 01-20-2012 Helped the party to explore the Specimen Storage level of the abandoned research complex. 6 Into the Great Unknown Part 7 01-29-2012 Warped the party in and out of the complex. 7 There's a portal in my wardrobe ! 01-31-2012 Was seen being wielded by Night Terror in Nhim's vision. 8 Assault on Lion's Pride Keep 04-04-2012 After Night Terror was spawned of thousands of hate- and terror-filled souls, including those of Phobos, it is sent by Ra-Men (?) back through time to the Hive to seek the Blade, and the Brothian Orb 9 Curiosity be Dammed 05-31-2012 Was ordered by its master to become tutored by Aegis on one…peculiar matter.
