Session 23

 The goddess Vallus sends Artemis from the Royal Palace to aid the trio. Seranfar Hastes her, making her a whirlwind of destruction. Defeat 5 more minotaurs & reach the head of the Collossus, engage the Lady and her 4 eyeless guards. The Lady kills Artemis, but is slain by Seranfar. The Night Hag Morta, one of the Fates, appears to Artemis and tells her she has been deceived by the false god Helios, a golden dragon. Morta charges Artemis with slaying Helios, and restores her to life. Potions of flesh to stone are used to restore two of the lady's victims - the absent minded dwarf bard Xollos and the shy elven noble poet Sylla. The two are intensely grateful, and sing the Heroes' praises throughout Mytros (Fame>11). Gondros the Gnome, a musician who reportedly  believes he is the greatest composer of this time, and probably ever, is kept by Artemis as a nice lawn ornament. The victors and rescuees leave the Collossus, Artemis lowered out through the small hole down to the sewers. 

Day 18-19 Resting & collecting rewards: Sylla's family gives greedy Seranfar 1000gp. Taran Neurdagon gives Seranfar the promised 5000gp, and then another 5000gp for the Lady's enchanted breastplate.
Versi the Nymph tells Leander to bring her the fresh corpse of the Lady of Coins and she'll make him some medusa-blood de-petrifying potions for free (normally 1000gp). "Be sure to give them to your friends, my precious - I couldn't stand to think of you all stony-hard and unyielding!"
Versi can brew 4 potions of stone to flesh from the Medusa's blood (Days 18-21)
After teleporting Artemis, Vallus retires to bed for several days. All four of the gods (Volkan, Vallus, Kyrah and Pythor) seem to be diminishing as the Oath of Peace nears its end. Even Pythor's daughter Meroe has been feeling under the weather recently. Conversely Versi, a daughter of Sydon, seems to be growing in power, and His grandson Seranfar is likewise in rude health. 
Day 20: Long Rest completed.

Session 22

Day 17 (08-15/03/23) Elpis Seranfar & Leander debate with the four greatest philosophers of Mytros, are rewarded with their books, then meet with the wealthy merchant Taran Neurdagon, and investigate the Lady of Coins, a Medusa crime lord. At the Satyr's Tail on Stygian Row meet with Varkon, a friendly half orc ship captain, who points the way. The Lady's lair is discovered within the Collossus of Pythor. Battles with minotaurs.
