After a payment of 5000 gp, and several bet wagered at 25 to 1, the party ventures into the mysterious mountain. So far our group has been the only one that was able to make it through the first trial.
The pirates of penzance . . . errr . . .  the pirates of the cult airship . .. .  err the party group for wednesday DnD,  has had a few near death experiences but has managed to pull through. Nothing seems to stand in their way, not puddin's or golems or vampires OH MY ! They have managed to find the first objective Whelm and magical hammer with wondrous properties.
After answering the riddle for the entrance to the second trial of the journey, (Way to go Occy !!), our brave group heads further into the mountain to encounter more of its treacherous protectors.

A prologue to the adventure:

Arthur sends word for  you to return to his Keep. Upon arrival, he has a message from Goldenface. Goldenface and Zephyros have been able to decipher the runes that each party member has. He refers to a chart that helps your characters understand what each rune means. When you discover the actual meaning of the rune, the runes power becomes clear:

Daniel - Gift of Vengeance - Know Thy Enemy. As a bonus action, pick one enemy within 30 feet of you. You may learn the enemies AC, starting hit points, and any damage immunities, resistances, or vulnerabilities. Once you use this property twice, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Scott - Gift of the King. - Ruler’s Command. As an action, you may inspire up to four creatures of your choice within 30 feet of you, and they can get advantage on any one die role for the next 5 minutes. This is completely separate from luck, bardic inspiration, or inspiration. Once you use this property, you can’t use it again until you use a short or long rest.

James - Gift of Death - Animate Dead. As an action, you can cast animate dead. During the time that your undead is 'alive' and does damage with its first attack against any living creature, it will in turn heal you for the damage up to your maximum health as long as you are within 30ft. Once you use this property, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Evan - Gift of Cloud. Cloud Carpet. You may cast this as a bonus action, you can spend 1 minute with a fly speed of 80 feet. Once you use this property, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Earl - Gift of Storm. Lightning’s Call. As an action up to 4 creatures of your choice within 30ft of you and are holding at least one weapon; each may only have one weapon they are wielding of their choice covered in crackling lightning for 1 minute. During this time the weapons deal an extra 1d6 lightning damage and are magical. A weapon loses these properties if it is dropped or stowed. Once you use this property, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

These powers are experimental, if they don't work properly for some reason or they seem too broken, I may make small alterations. Any questions, feel free to ask.

Financial Report submitted by Brunelda Hammercrag, Treasurer of the Sky Pirates of Shander who's totally not drinking the Fine Bottle of Brandy because she's drained the Cask of Jeremiah of its ale for the day...
