Two sessions. We finished the first on resurrecting one person, so we stopped until we can resurrect the second one. It took us until this year.

Session 92-93: Death and Poisons
The battle was over. The party discussed what to do but nobody wanted to decide. Their friends were dead and they needed a real revive. The group was stopped by the kingdom's wyvern riders. Captain Graham introduced himself again. Thanked them for help and that they informed the king about the attack, he went on a patrol because of that. The captain left them to continue the fight against the dragonkind. The group decided it's time to teleport back to home. Solange went for Vittoria, after the elf told him where she is. However, the woman almost died. Solange was asked what is with Mario and hearing he was slain, she had a heart attack. More akin to Padme (broken heart). Thanks to Baâ, they had someone able to cast Greater Restoration and save the woman from dying. She needed some time to rest. Elhaeltôr decided to take her with them and so he casted teleport.
The party kept the situation in secret to not alarm anyone. Iesha was informed and Luigi also, since they needed both. Iesha to take care of Vittoria, while Luigi was needed for the resurrection ritual. They contacted Cleo, a cleric of Valena, and Solaire, a cleric of Lord Sun, to perform the rituals for Mario and Balasar respectively. The spell is custom and is called Coerce the Soul. The idea is that the clerics believe normal resurrection methods (Raise Dead, Resurrection) actually abduct the soul from the afterlife, while the Coerce the Soul is a method to convince it to come back. So, the party gathered for Mario first. Each one of them argued with the summoned soul to come back, while the soul only listened. Friendship, honor, promises, family and many others were arguments for the soul to return. Mario did return. Balasar was similar, however, after he came back, he heard fewer voices than Mario. Next time might be even harder for Balasar's soul to come back.
Later they discussed what they saw in the afterlife. First off, they don't remember anything of the afterlife. They were dead and were "coming back" to the body. However, both of them had an experience on the way. Mario was transported to Valena's Garden, her realm and he heard them talking about the paladin. Words like the chosen one, that he is their key or that there was another chosen one were thrown, even that they are out of time to save the world. Balasar saw a different vision, where he met with a blue dragonborn without any features that wanted to grant him something that would save the world and his people - the Godspark (something that people say that the gods have that makes them gods). The party discussed what it could mean and created many theories like Sigurd is the previous or current champion of the gods, maybe even the Emperor or that what Balasar saw was the Cobalt Dragon. Whatever it was, the party needed to decide what to do next and they went with listening to the young king from the Oasis - take care of their kingdom.
Of course, there was the case of Vittoria still being in the kingdom. During the talks, Mario failed on some rolls. She decided to leave everything behind and they just sent a letter from her that she is leaving. "Nothing bad will come of it" the players laughed out loud, because Mario had to play out his natural 1 on intelligence test for political maneuvers.
Elementi Revivo
The group wanted to meet with their nearest neighbors. First, they asked if they can come by letter, they got a positive answer back. So they gathered some gifts worth a couple of thousand gold. After traveling past Morqueto, they entered the Elementi Revivo Kingdom. They found out that they weren't slacking around. Farms, orchards, villages built. There were a couple of major settlements. Saltwall, where they gathered salt for export. Rockhigh, where there were quarries. Lumberton, you get the idea. Green Leaf, the village the party visited at the start of the campaign. And of course Viridi, the capital of the kingdom. The party visited Green Leaf first. Much changed since then. A monument built for the heroes (the Elementars) standing above dead goblins. Many warehouses and lively market. They gathered information from Old Silver, the old half-elf they owned the inn. Everything is fine the kingdom. People live in good conditions and even taxes aren't so high anymore. The party even learned that the "witch" that lived in the village was arrested by the Elementars. Apparently, she sold information about the villagers for her whole life, which resulted in abductions. The surrounding area was always dangerous so it wasn't so strange for the settlers. However, Old Silver heard that the people who abducted the villagers lived in the underground.
When they got to Viridi, the city is mostly inside the rock wall, as the capital sack into the ground during the earthquake. Goblins carved tunnels between underground buildings. Later, they were ruled over by a hydra called Hyrlos. The Elementars not only defeated the goblins but also the hydra, who is now working for the group. When the kingdom started, they worked on rebuilding the tunnels and the city, thanks to money from Cassius Bourdeux, who became their Grand Diplomat. The party first met with him and was escorted to the throne room, passing two construction places - a castle and a temple to All-Father. Entering the hall, they saw the whole council and the hydra (who had 8 heads, almost all different colors). The meeting was tense and the party would meet the next day for politics. Cassius later visited the party, when they discussed what they want from Elementi Revivio. The party did see that the council doesn't seem to trust them for some reason. It was revealed that they think of them as poisoners. Now, ladies and gentlemen, during session 31, Elhaeltôr gave Melika, the earth genasi a healing potion since Elementars wanted to go to the Abyss (the hole in Orth). It was actually a potion from the orc haul when they attacked the fort. It was a Potion of Poison. The Elementars didn't trust the party, so they used spells to check it. From that point on, they didn't trust the group. The group accused Elementars of being political douchebags and other words while Cassius was still with them. However, they decided that it's better to say sorry and move on. They met urgently with the council again. Mario used "bad" words to say sorry, while Balasar won over them that it was actually a mistake. Both groups joined hands and let bygones be bygones.
