The campaign continues further

When we last left our heroes they had just left Devalon after promising the Steward to find the gems he was looking for and kill him (not necessarily in that order). They headed towards Digger's Pass where the Red Tower guard was searching for a gem until they were stopped. The party quickly retraced their steps and discovered a secret passage way which now stood perched open. Inside the secret tunnel they heard a scream coming from a nearby cave. They drew their weapons and charged ahead, only to be confronted by a conflagration ooze chasing after a girl. While they were fighting the ooze, two other humans showed up in their aid. Supposedly these two men had wandered into the caves from Underbridge, one of the towns which guards the entrance to Digger's Pass. With their help the ooze quickly died. The girl thanked our heroes and explained that she was from Aeriola, a city nearby. As the party and the rest of the world was unfamiliar with this city, she explained that it was a city deep in the mountains governed by the emissary of Hevate, Kroc. It was also Kroc who had saved her life by giving her part of his soul when she had an accident a long time ago. The party continued on to Aeriola and discovered a transport ooze in the caves abandoned by giants who lived here long ago. After luring it down with food, they climbed aboard and the cube ferried them to Aeriola. The city of Aeriola turned out to be a ring-link structure hovering around the largest mountain and the cube had to climb across a cable to get there. After reaching the city they were greeted by its Bluespawn guards. As a thank you for saving the girl they were taken to Kroc instead of being killed on sight. Confronted with the large blue dragon, Kroc, the party soon figured out that he was the guardian of the gem and went on the offensive. Beating back the palace guards on one side and the dragon on the other, they eventually came out victorious and secured the gem. Unfortunately the girl they rescued went up in flames and the city that Kroc was powering started falling down. Some quick thinking by the party enabled them to survive the impending doom. Two gems down, three to go. From the prophecy of the Formian queen, they figured out that the gem of elements is located in the bay of the reflected moon. They commandeered a boat to take them there and along the way heard legends of a sea monster that lives in that area. Putting op base in a small fishing village, they headed out to find this creature. After confronting the 300m whale, their only solution was to get themselves swallowed and attack from the inside out. The poor creature never stood a chance as a half-dragon crocodile made its way through its gut. Inside the carcass they found the gem. Feeling confident they set out to find the remaining gems.
