Cranzalar took all of the eggs found in the Dry Land warehouse back to the Regicider base in the third tier, but didn’t let Redford know what he’d done. The party got their papers and made their way up to the fifth tier for the meeting.
They were stopped at the border by an inquisitor and his apprentice, a Fire Genasi and Blue Dragonborn respectively. The three were able to bluff their way past without getting stabbed or anything.
The meeting of the royals took place as planned, and the party blended in with the crowd. The royals announced that to offset the more frequent coming of the tide, they would be building more tiers atop the city. They were opening a portal to the Elemental Plane of Earth to get the materials to do so.
The meeting was cut short, however, when Lilla noticed the party. To try and get them, and have revenge on Cranzalar killing her, she insta-killed a large part of the crowd and made them into zombies. The party escaped with Firuzeh’s help, as she feather-fell off the edge of the city.
Landing in the third tier, they were pursued by zombies, led by a Death Knight Lilla had raised. They barricaded themselves in an abandoned inn, and fought off waves of undead. The Death Knight had been sent to claim Cranzalar’s bones for Lilla’s collection, but as it was defeated – Vi doing a massive blast of damage with a Moonbeam – the pursuit was thwarted and the party escaped back to Bailiff and the Regicider base.
They decided from there that the first Royal they’d pursue (having successfully completed the spell to track the Royals’ whereabouts) would be Lilla.
