Recap
A long holiday session. Sim's hoard: 36,000 gp, 16,000 pp, a helm of comprehend languages, a bag of devouring, a bag of tricks, supreme healing potions and a wand of the war mage. From twenty black dragon scales Bralmur got the Obsidian Flint Dragon Plate. Orcs had worshipped Sim as "Scalecrusher's god".
What Wraith overheard as Sim's captive: Sim had been in league with Delin for years; The Aspect is a primordial being that predates the world, which the gods worked to keep out of the mortal planes; the Nethershaper was the strongest of the three lords of chaos, and binding it required manipulating reality "for an end to death".
