Planar Travel...

    Out of nowhere Vampire Lord Ambrogio appeared with Corkie Nackle, the temple priest, beaten near to death, in his grasp.  Ambrogio dropped Corkie and began his violent assault, between his swift strikes, shadow duplicates, and worst of all, controlling the will of Netheral then turning him against you, his victory seemed assured.  That is, until Corkie with his last bit of strength reached to a hidden lever that caused the only escape to collapse from a flood of water meant to slay Ambrogio.  Unfortunately, still controlled by Ambrogio’s will, Netheral was just able to rescue Ambrogio.  Leaving the group in a watery grave.
            At some point, amid the confusion of drowning, they found themselves in a strange plane of floating rocks.  They recognized it as the astral plane, a conduit between Faerun and the outer planes.  Although typically bypassed completely by those that die on there journey to there final resting place, this place seemed to have a trap set in the conduit by astral kenku’s, a birdlike creature that preys on passing souls in the astral plane.  The adventurer’s fought there way through the astral kenkus and found that there was a portal to an outer plane keyed to each one of them that only they could travel through.  Just when it seemed Searos would be the only one left to the fate of the Kenku’s, Netheral found himself ejected into the Astral plane and was able to help Searos make it to a portal and then make it to his own.

    Once in the outer planes, some of the group found there eternal home to be less  than pleasant, especially for the godless who were left to be claimed by any deity or plane that would accept them.

 Searos' was claimed by Asmodeus, Overlord of the Nine Hells of Baator.  

 Netheral found himself trapped in the cold dark Tarterian Depths of Carceri.

 Finwe was imprisoned in the Black Bastion of Bane in Acheron.

    Although for the faithful few, a different fate awaited them.

 Belros was taken by Corellon Larethian.  He was confronted by an Avator of Correlon and given the option to rest eternally in the Olympian Glades of Arborea or to further serve Corellon in Faerun by returning to Faerun to fight against the Gulthias and the evil it is fostering in the Border Forest.

 Elexan was met by Corkie Nackle, the temple priest at a temple of light in the Blessed Isles if Thalasia in Elysium.  Although they had both earned an eternal resting place in Elysium, Lathander had more another quest for Elexan and his recent allies back in Faerun.  So began Corkie Nackles work of retrieving the other souls that were claimed in the outer planes.

    After some time, they were all brought or sent to the Isles of the Blessed  in Elysium, home of Lathander the Morninglord.  Some souls, Netheral & Searos, required bartering to save them from there dark prisons.  In Elysium, they learned the reason for there rescue and in exchange were placed on a quest to return to Faerun and rid it of the evil Vampire Lord Ambrogio.

    Curiously, Finwe never came to Elysium but did return to Fearun with the rest of the group.
