Having determined that Executor Nalis possessed information they needed, the Legend Breakers, never a group famous for their subtlety, gatecrashed his office and assaulted him point-blank. After a brief, inconclusive engagement in which Nalis stunned most of the party while avoiding or shrugging off their most powerful attacks, Clangden called a retreat. The Legend Breakers were intercepted in their flight through the city by members of an organization dedicated to resisting the rule of the Triat, who revealed that the Triat was actually a front for the cult of Orcus. The leader of this resistance cell revealed the existence of an artifact he called the Viridian, which he claimed had the power to reverse the necrotic wave's effects. Recalling their mandate from the Raven Queen, the Legend Breakers agreed to help recover the Viridian.
The heroes and a party of resistance fighters traveled to a ruined temple not far outside Shan, and discovered, as the resistance leader had claimed, that it was occupied by soldiers bearing the emblem of the Triat. There being no secondary entrance to the shrine, the heroes and their allies opted for a frontal assault. The Triat forces consisted of three battle wights, a banshee, and - striking dread into the Legend Breakers' hearts - a dracolich. Despite the beast's intimidating presence, the Legend Breakers and the resistance fighters moved right in. It was a punishing fight, with the heroes opting to focus on the wights while the banshee and dracolich bombarded them from afar. At last, though, the last wight fell, and the banshee not long after. The dracolich, seeing its allies destroyed, let out a fearsome roar as the Legend Breakers turned to face it...
