Leaving England in two Sunderland Flting Boats, the party chose to forgoe most crew and weapons for gas and speed. But they did keep 500lbs of bombs (aircraft 1), and 500 lbs of depth charges (a/c 2). The former was handy, when they spotted (what could have been) the Nydiss (ship the Nachtwolf agents were on) off the coats of Greenland. LT Ross took the shot, and just might have hit something important!
Landing the planes, the group used inflatable rafts to paddle to the village as Clifton Bower piloted his Sunderland (the other followed) off to Canada. The party made their rendevous at the Inuit village in Scoresby Sound and met with Stefan Gulbrandsen and Malik.  Stefan suggested they rest and begin the search tomorrow. With the near 22 hours of daylight, it was easy to overwork yourself. The party agreed and rested.
The next day, the search for where the Nydiss had dropped the Nachtwolf troops began. After searching one large island, the team considered using Mr. Phillips Atlantean necklace and soon were rowing towards another island in the Sound. Approaching, they saw a number of ship's launches beached on the shore, as well as campfire smoke. Landing, the party hid their kayaks and began looking for the Germans, and making their own hidden camp. They soon found the Germans were boldly constructing a mad array pof wiring, diesal generators, Tesla Coils, and camp, all in a bowl in the center of the island, which Malik later identified as Glemt Oe - the Forgotten Island. According to legend, the Inuits who lived on this island left one day to hunt, but when they returned, they could not find their island. They searched for years, but ultimately settled elsewhere. 
 The party made several trips to the "bowl" and were able to identify the german soldiers and a Blue Robed monk. 
Back to their base, the party decided to take advantage of the night and attack with Simon and Sly sabotaging a generator, then heading for the encampment to try to recover Atlantean artifacts. Novak, Feret and Duncon would provide cover fire for Simon and Sly. On the other side of the bowl, Gulbrandsen would cover Malik (who would try to sabotage a generator) and Phillips, Odyssa, Phillips, and Strand who would look at (maybe try to destroy, the coils.  
Next Time: The Attack!

House of Dust and Ash Part I of the Season Finale: False Redemption Surviving their release of the Dei-Phage (demon lord), activation of the Pax Machiana, the ravaging of Kephistron Altis, melting of the Most Holy Gilded Cathedral of Baraspine, and the discovery that the “Pope” of the Callaxian Church is, in fact, a heretic…well, let’s say our Murder Hobos have a “mixed” reputation…(although Drustos seems to have made out well enough…) It has been a month since and the Acolytes are abruptly ordered off planet.  As the adventure begins the Player Characters are transferred temporarily into the service of a shadowy and notorious figure in the Holy Ordos, Inquisitor Lady Oriantha Rathbone, on the bleak and poisonous industrialized hive world of Solomon. There is a trip on the Lamentations of the Flame Princess which allows some new artificial limb work. Littlus replaces his pipe-like robotic leg (courtesy the Dei-Phage) with the “Major Award” leg from Christmas Story…fish...

The patry generally ended up fighting gorhellas...except for Amar who got a good cut on the wizard before he escaped. After the fight Captain Rhal of the city watch came over to express his thanks and adk where the characters were staying...he ...
