+ | ==== Session 35 ==== | ||
+ | The podium square puzzle was solved reviling a secret room filled with fungal creepers. A corpse in the room had a magical ring on it. Otto fireballed the room killing most of the fungus. Darrius kept a fungal creeper in a vial. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The party finished exploring the first level of The Unholy Grove and proceed to the second level. Two air elementals where fought. The first one was bit of a challenge, while the second one went smoothly. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Hael scouted the adjacent rooms and found a stone slab with two large refined and focused warpstone crystals at the head and foot. A mutation spell was left on the podium. Hael was able to undo Otto's transformation at the cost of gaining short legs. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Darrius found a massive tapestry in the east room and upon touching it triggered an acid trap, which filled the whole room. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The party then proceeded west finding a room full of glowing fungus and several large auditoriums filled with old beastman corpse, a war was fought here. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Going south an altar with a beetle in a glass box and a smashed water fountain with a magical shield in it where found. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Once the acid dissipated the party explored the room tapestry room again and found a secret room with a switch, which turned off the acid trap. Upon lifting the tapestry a secret hallway was found. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the adjoining room was a chest caged in power energy fields. The party was able to find the correct switch order and retrieved one of two keys to the crypt of the science wizard. | ||
+ | |||
+ | As the loot was being loaded on to the ship Darrius tried to open one of the psygen crates and it exploded, revealing unrefined warpstone crystals, his armor absorbed the damage but not the mutating effects, his head was changed into a chameleon' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Hael refused to help Darrius undo the mutation. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Darrius went to his room and contacted death. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Darrius death speaks with a femininely predatory voice, You are long past your time, you must be desperate. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Session 36 ==== | ||
+ | Darrius made a deal with death to kill Skoll the Halfdead and Arinax' | ||
+ | |||
+ | The party disembarked with Otto in the lead. The doorway sized precision cut tunnel lead a ways into the mountain to a dead-end. When Hael approached a door began to appear revealing a place to place his hand. Upon doing so, light and Keeper runes flashed to life and the door disappeared revealing Hael's Keeper of Time spear which lept to his outstretched hand, thus completing him. Stillness and silence settled around the party until Ellie' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Boarding the Loyal Javelin the party headed towards The Forsaken Isles and Fordrock Island. They made a stop at Castaway Isle, at the town of Takaku, to purchase supplies and repair materials. Otto tried to recruit crew members, but the townfolk where extremly wary of a construct. Ellie tried again in the evening and managed to find 10 more people willing to join the crew. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The party arrived at Fordrock Isle and as the cold moon rose a small isle rose from the depths. | ||
+ | |||
+ | A hundred-yard stretch of bare, black rock rising from the freezing sea. Plastered in kelp and barnacles, reeking of the deeps. A faint glow issues from the cluster of standing stones at the center of the island. | ||
+ | |||
+ | It is night on the 15th of Wintertide in the Year 468. What do you do? | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Session 37 ==== | ||
+ | Night of the 15th of Wintertide in the Year 468 | ||
+ | |||
+ | The party arrived at Fordrock Isle and as the cold moon rose a small isle rose from the depths. | ||
+ | |||
+ | A hundred-yard stretch of bare, black rock rising from the freezing sea. Plastered in kelp and barnacles, reeking of the deeps. A faint glow issues from the cluster of standing stones at the center of the island. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The party proceeded to take a skiff out to the isle and upon landing on narrow strip of beach Rathul could feel the isle is tethered between this plane and another. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Exploring the beach two sealed tomb doors and a path up where discovered. At the top of the path where 7 large rune engraved standing stones, the runes all where glowing faintly. A group of ghostly pirates where sitting around a campfire when Otto approached and they demanded stories of living sensations, which Otto gladly proceed to share and in such a descriptive matter they become stupefied and catatonic. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Both tomb doors were opened, the party tried to enter the one marked with a little girl and was attacked by ghostly hands. Proceeding down the Warrior door, the party entered a large room and found the rotten remains of The Sun Eater with ours moving to and fro. The boatswain wanted someone to fill the empty seat. Otto and Darrius let loose twin fireballs and a battle ensued. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The boatswain was defeated and a silver key was dropped. Otto attempted to free the ghostly crew but they just remained where they are. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 2 hours have passed since the isle has appeared. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You are all in the main room with the Sun Eater, the kraken figure head is stilled. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Session 38 ==== | ||
+ | The party continued downward in the Cold Moon Isle. Encountering a gold skeleton nailed to a chair with gold nails and a spear. Hael touched the spear and the skeleton began screaming awaking sleeping skeletons in the sarcophagus in the room. Next they encountered a skull with glowing green eyes suspended by a chain, nobody gazed deeply into its eyes. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Hael scouted ahead and found a large room with a banquet set with several ghost carousing and skeleton heads on the table talking and sharing tall tales. Following another hallway the party found a black locked door, with glass beads that lit up when touched. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Found next was a black sand beach, water reflecting a night sky above like a mirror and a starry sky with a missing constellation, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Beyond the black door was a small alchemist room with Morgwennan the Stormcaller trapped inside. The party mistook him for Skoll, but that was sorted quickly. After some discussion Darrius pledged to kill Skoll and find a body for Morgwennan' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Deeper in they found the door to Skoll' | ||
+ | |||
+ | The party spent the rest of their limited time loot Skoll' | ||

+ | |||
+ | The party adventured out into the city of Alora, Ellie seeking the shipwright and new crewmates. Otto, with the other party members tagging along, set out to find info about the a place of power. Along the way Darrius stole money from a dwarf, which was latter used to buy a coin purse. Otto tried to get info from a shop keeper at [Creme of the Curios](381). Otto stopped by [Boar' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Meanwhile Ellie met with Hillary, the head shipwright at [The New Ship - Shipwright](378) and got a deal squared away to install the figurehead, repair the ship and install a special chamber. All to be completed in two weeks. Next Ellie and Snickers filled out the crew and recruited, quartermaster Hush, navigator Largeheart, and carpenter Mills. | ||
+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | It is midmorning on the of 4th Ablution, in the Year 468. The weather is beautiful sunny clear skies. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Darrius has cast Antipathy on Otto choosing goblins as the target, it was a wise choice as beyond the first door was many goblins who began to flee as soon as Otto destroyed the door causing a massive amount of noise. Over the noise of the goblins fleeing a multitude of screeches and screams is heard above. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Session 41 ==== | ||

+ | * The weather is beautiful sunny clear skies. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The party fought off a horde of gargoyles and then heard cannon fire and rushed back to the ship to see it being attacked by another horde of gargoyles. Otto made a metal on metal scrapping sound, enraging and draw all of the gargoyles attention. While the battle raged another horde of gargoyles came from the tower. Ellie used her bond with the kraken head to summon tentacles, smashing most of the gargoyles out of the sky. After the gargoyles where defeated the party headed back into the caves. | ||
+ | |||
+ | After some debate about how to proceed down, the party deployed and rope climb down, except for Rah' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Otto found several traps with his face and one of them was a grease slide trap, which got set on fire when he tried to stop his slide with his blade. At the bottom was a horde of goblins, which almost finished Otto off. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The party has caught up to Otto after dealing with the flaming grease. | ||
+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | ==== Session 43 ==== | ||
+ | The party cleaned up the globlins and Darrius dispelled Hael's blindness. Otto cut open a door and found a horde of fire beetles behind it, and was almost turned to slag, but Rah' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Darrius was aerate by a bullet trap, but found a chest on the other side. Inside was a cloak of fire protection and Torment Cage wand. | ||
+ | |||
+ | More fire beetles where found and Rah' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Deeper in the party came upon a crane and a deep chasm, which Rah' | ||
+ | |||
+ | The next challenge was a large open cavern with multiple openings. Darrius scouted and found the likely location they needed to proceed down. Rah' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Finally at the bottom the party found the entrance to the place of power and proceed down. | ||
+ | |||
