Session XXXIX: Shadow of Xyndrakul

General Summary

Between Realms

After the ritual adventurers found out that they are between Shadowfell and Material Plane, this powerful ritual probably executed by higher being or at least allowed to. They found out that Borygen is missing, he didn't teleport with them. They walked through the city also with Dorn's brother, but then it shifted. The city changed to some alternative existence, making them weak, spell-less and vulnerable. This shifting continued for most of the time at random, except of some places, where it was suppresed.   

Lolth - Void Temple

They decided to visit Temple of Lolth, or at least what remained from it as it was abandoned probably at the same time when the city adopted new religion of this unknown god or entity. They walked through this nonsense like paths that consisted of gateways, visions of shadow entities, shadow monsters and other hallucinations without context, probably a peek into Shadowfell merging with this Demiplane of maybe a sign of greater being ?
On their path through the Void Temple, they found out ritual site where Kai could become Void Paladin but refused. This caused summoning three Void Paladins to defend this place and attacked them. When they managed to defeat them, Dorn was able to consume their essence and learn Void Spellcasting at the lowest level.   

Lolth's Spiral

Then the adventurers explored the city for a while, but in the end came to the conclusion to visit the Lolth's Spiral - capital tower where Sylvara herself resides. When they managed to unlock the door using Dorn's blood and Demon's ichor, they faced Sylvara's favourite hunter Duagloth Kenafin and his three legendary Quaggoth. They managed to beat him but it was very difficult. 

Next they visited alchemy floor where Sylvara's main priestess of demonology resided - Khaless. They managed to beat her of but it was even closer than the previous one as they almost got blown to pieces by her last trick.

At the time they stood before Sylvara's door, they were hopeless of even having the slightest chance of beating her with no way out.
