Previously on Critical Role
Last we left off: The Mighty Nein, after making their way across Eiselcross, encountering and fleeing from the Tombtakers, meeting up with their old "companion" Essek and discussing the possibility of delving into Aeor's ruins specifically.

''After deciding to take some time with the brief respite you have after sending the Tombtakers seeking another alternative to the threshold crest that they had lost, you made your way towards Yussa. You looked into some possibilities of how to prepare for this, acquired some friends to help you, to provide some options, some items, spoke with Halas, shunted Halas, went to visit Kima and Allura over in Emon and let them know what you were going to be attempting. In doing so, you were also provided with some aid from their end, as well as some items loaned: one was offered, one was... surprisingly convinced to temporarily lend a very powerful item. If only we could find a way to use it.''

''But, you returned to Rexxentrum, and after hearing a little bit of the current murmurs politically between the Cobalt Soul and other aspects of the Empire, realized that beyond just the tension building in Eiselcross, things are a bit tense here at home, even in the aftermath of the peace treaty that was signed. After gathering yourselves for an evening's rest after a very long day of hopping literally around Exandria, you went, after acquiring a chamber within the Rexxentrum Archive, to rest, lay down... and a few of you were visited by curious dreams: Caduceus with an odd vision regarding what appeared to be something similar to the Grove where he grew up, Yasha with a unique encounter with the Stormlord, of which it had been some time. And Caleb and Beauregard, who had a second evening encounter with some leering red eyes welcoming you to whatever odd, dream state connection you currently harbor with them.''
