Chapters 11-17 are summarized as follows: <br>In Session 11, Arquira “Quri” and Midna of the 214th explore a buried monastery within Arventa, discovering a purifying pool and a crescent moon trinket that bonds to Quri’s blade. A mental journey through ancestral memory hints at deeper connections to the land’s forgotten past. <br>Session 12. The undead threat, led by the spectral lieutenant Jak-Naz, is pushed back in a hard-fought victory, though at the cost of brave mushroom-hunting kobolds, and Gix's memory of discovering Shiggles.<br>The war for control over ancient Cyclopean constructs intensifies in Session 13, as Togark, Hermann, and Elarius chase down and seize a Terra Slider, a massive, sand-burrowing vehicle, from the Preservation Syndicate. This powerful relic, coupled with the Undead Diplomats discovered within the Citadel of the Scarlet Minotaur. becomes key to the party’s next step: an assault on the sunken castle. <br>Session 14 sees Jagged Edge, Arquira, and Elarius rally the gnolls for a coordinated counterattack. Arquira is tempted by the Oriss, but refuses its call while Elarius attempts a dangerous communion with Perivas, the imprisoned spirit within the castle, resulting in spiritual scarring and shared burdens with others present.<br>In Session 15, the three-pronged assault begins. Togark, Inginatorum, and Loric dive deep with the Terra Slider, battling ankhegs, negotiating with earth elementals, and ultimately infiltrating the castle itself. <br>Session 16 follows Togark the rescued Gnoll and Mikana of the 214th as they infiltrate the Sunken Castle as diplomats and unlock ab ancient vault, discover the severed hand of Perivas’ right-hand gnoll and a fragment of generational power. Together, they restore energy to the castle, powering its core. <br>The culmination arrives in Session 17, as Loric of the Circle uses Captain Skrekek’s true name to unravel the tortured villain in the heart of the sunken castle. Thazzun, once the pack leader of the Desert Dogs, is ravaged and lost in the process. Elarius , who again arrives too late to save a trusted ally, is devastated. With Perivas’ spirit freed, the sunken castle emerges from the desert depths on brick and mortar legs, and is claimed as the crawling castle. Loric is changed, impacted by his deeds and play with power, Inginatorum bonds with the castle machinery, Ms. Biggs sees potential for revelry, and Togark dreams of goblin power reclaimed.<br>
