Anar had the most active session of the four players, and most of it happened while he was technically dead. He entered session 4 ready to act — speaking only in Gnomish to Puck, with something glass in his pack and a plan that never got executed — and then a guard hit him for thirty-four damage. He went to zero hit points before he'd had a second turn.
What followed was the session's defining beat: a spirit-plane transit in which Anar found himself outside his own body, surrounded by the previous adventuring party's ghosts. Elra was there, and a barbarian, a halfling, and a rogue. They pointed him toward four Far Realm crystals. He smashed all of them. His death saving throws passed — one failure, two successes — and Puck's Healing Word pulled him back into the material plane. He re-entered the fight intact. Then, after the ritual broke and the room had gone quiet, the entity whispered to him: "I won't forget you, Anor. I'll always be here." He told Zala immediately. She committed to investigating.
Spoke to Puck exclusively in Gnomish to keep the conversation private. Had something glass in his pack and a plan. Watched Puck attempt to persuade Markos. Rolled initiative when the talking ended.
Attempted to reposition or address the ritual — the move slowed him down. A guard landed a hit for 34 damage. Anar dropped to 0 HP.
Entered the spirit plane. Observed his own body from the outside. Met the previous party's spirits — Elra named explicitly, plus a barbarian, halfling, and rogue. The spirits directed him to four Far Realm crystals. He smashed all four. Death saves: 1 failure, 2 successes. Stabilized. Puck's Healing Word returned him to the material plane.
Revived. Witnessed the ritual end, Markos freed, Zala's arrival in human form.
Participated in the post-combat loot search. Heard the entity's whisper alone: "I won't forget you, Anor. I'll always be here." Reported this to Zala immediately. Zala committed to investigating.
Present for Zala's Codex retrieval (strength contest), departure from the manor, and the Seelie Market visit. Received 250gp from Gertie.
