Rise of the Rahib, Session 3

•  Razul and Hakim explore the ruins and travel down the hallway which the Sons of Akkai had cleared the rubble from earlier. 
• They discover a set of Black Legion mercenaries doing training exercises, intentionally crowding around a strange sphere that seemed to be dripping black ichor and sending shadow creatures towards them.
• Hiding from the Legion, they turn back and explore the rest of the dormant volcano, sneaking past spiders and wolves.
• Discover a set of Kuyu cavemen who are friendly, but fear a strange door leading deeper into the Volcano.
• Arrive at the lava boiling center of the volcano, urging on scared Kuyu to guide them in, and discover the source of their fear - a Tyrant Lizard, sleeping on a pile of treasures.
• Leave the room and head back out of the volcano, intent on finding some more warriors to help deal with the Tyrant Lizard and get their hands of the treasure - which may or may not have the Nagha scrolls.
• Face off and kill a ghoul they run into, and flee from some spiders and a giant snake out of the volcano.
• Rest at camp for the night, during which Razul is awoken by a demon emissary who tells him his pact granting demon is dissatisfied that he has not used any spells. He prepares a spell called Doctrine of the Subservient Path for the next day sacrificing some blood, and the emissary notes the master is happy for now.
• Travel through a heatwave and run into a fearful nomad family, whom tell them they are fleeing the crumbling of their former settlement which was betrayed to the Black Guard who have taken it over. They refuse offer to help, instead choosing to continue fleeing.
• Continue to travel and forage through thunderstorms, and two days after finding the nomad family, find the mother and two children of the family, a son and daughter.
• The Nomad mother tells how her husband, as well as his mother and sister, were mauled by lizard beasts in the steppes. Now given that she is alone with her child son and daughter, she requests their aid. 
• Razul promises to escort her to the nearest settlement and drop them off - resulting in more mouths to feed every day.
