Ivan was approached by Gary, a homunculus, sent by the green hag they rescued from the time stop. She created Gary to be a crafter for the party.
The Revenant
While hanging out at the Burrows, the party was attacked by Cecelia Roberts, not a revenant, having been created as an undead by Zura. Cecelia found out that Nyanta was travelling with Lady Belmont, and sent one of her highwaymen to Cheliax to report this to Wrath.
Cecelia was more than a match for Nyanta, but the party together defeated her and some of her highwaymen (others fled). Nyanta reached out to Wimbert to make sure that he was okay (he was), and they questioned a captured enemy.
They learned that Red Blade Roberts performed some service for Zura, and in exchange Zura was to bring back her sister. In the process, Zura learned that a Revenant was a viable undead type, which taught them that Nyanta was still alive. Cecelia came to hunt him.
Gathering information from Zainab and Tiffania's parents, they learned that a powerful god was sealed in another dimension by an ancestor of the Greenleaf's. He did so using 7 black flames which were the key to opening it back up.
When Graham Greenleaf's wife got radiation sickness, he adventured for a long time to develop a cure. He did so, but came back too late. They tried to resurrect her, but cold not. Sandalphon and Graham sought the help of Janka Worldgazer, who informed him that his wife was trapped in the dimension with the god, and beyond his aid.
But Graham sought another seer, who informed him that because his ancestor created the seal, he could do a ritual to break it. The seer was Zura in disguise, who tricked Graham. Sandalphon and Lady Moonblade tried to disrupt the ritual, but Zura was too powerful. At the last moment, Graham regained mental control, and struck Zura, disrupting the ritual. Knowing she couldn't complete it, Zura left, but she had learned that she might open the gate with 7 black flames instead.
The ritual left Graham transforming into a monster. He gave his sword to Sandalphon, and asked him to give it to Wimbert and inform him that his father was dead, which Sandalphon did.
The Summoning Chambers
In an attempt to gain more power, the party went to the summoning Chamber, taking Clara instead of Ivan, because Ivan was busy sending flowers to Lady Moonblade's parents.
They encountered a book golem who played a card game that no one could beat him at. Together they beat him, identifying that no ONE could beat him- that the five of them (with Bianca) could. They then completed several challenges requiring teamwork. The four of them (Lady Belmont, Tiffania, Clara, and Nyanta) completed a ritual to create a companion spirit, in the form of a Silvanshee, named Binx.
The party returned to Deepreach to regroup.
