Canon Events

At the rear of the caravan near the archaeological dig site, Sam touches Faban with a skeletal, decaying hand and deals necrotic damage. [Road to Archaeological Dig Site] (combat)
Faban puts on the protective green glass ring, feels its power flow over him, pushes Sam away, and draws his rapier. [Road to Archaeological Dig Site] (acquisition)
The noise draws the party into the fight; Corvinas, Bridgit, Richard, Gildas, Mikani, and Roon engage Sam and five hostile rangers at the rear of the caravan. [Road to Archaeological Dig Site] (combat)
Sam casts ancient evil magic that deals psychic damage to Corvinas and Faban, then cuts himself with a black dagger in an attempt that does not work as he intended. [Road to Archaeological Dig Site] (combat)
Corvinas falls during the battle after Sam reaches out with cursed hands, but Faban and Corvinas's own holy healing bring him back from the edge of death. [Road to Archaeological Dig Site] (combat)
Sam cuts through his own hand with the black dagger, spilling black blood along the blade and unleashing necrotic energy that summons two large foul-smelling frog-like creatures. [Road to Archaeological Dig Site] (combat)
