Se03Ep01 - Into the Doomvault

General Summary

While doing Auntie Fleta's dirty work, the party learned some information. The nation of Kaspin may not know the truth about the Doorkickers involvement in the flooding of Kaspin . New Kaspin is under contention by the Red Hag , the noble houses, and the local gangs. Burgermaster Ral Glulav, while not the most passionate or honest, seemed genuinely concerned about the murderous Redcap that had invaded his town. With the witches tasks behind them, the group stays another night in the The Timid Pony Inn awaiting the sunrise an their trek Into the Doomvault.

Question

You've seen something beautiful recently, what was it? What did it make you think of?

Rodger Something beautiful that Rodger saw recently was the sun rising over the oceanic horizon of Sanguera. It felt good to return home to a clear sky free of sulphur or flame. Or demons (mostly). Miles Something beautiful Miles saw was his goddess as he often does. He is always surprised of the terrible menacing but elegant and beautiful visage of his god Ark Inside the darkest depths, deep in the mazes of shadows and demons, there was a magnificent angel that greeted them, trapped and seeking aid. We were able to free her, but we had forgotten to ask for even a name and her visage permeates my daydreams, wishing I could meet her again. Seom recently saw a beautiful siege tower while watching the ongoing preparations of a gathering army. He gazed upon it in wonder and awe, and it made him think of the giant hand of a god reaching toward the sun. Lostin was stopped by the sight of this stunning cat back in the outlands. When he turned to address the angelic figure he realized it was his reflection cast from a copper still through a frosted window. While he admired himself his thoughts wandered to his brother and for a second he re-felt his brother's loss. Sambra The most beautiful thing I've seen recently is the sea. Coming back from the alternative planes of reality and then coming back to my plane of existence, the ocean was an amazing site. I lived on the ocean and sailed a good bit after leaving my homeland, so seeing the ocean for the first time in several months brought back a rush of feeling and nostalgia.

Synopsis

For Ark's second wish, he again wish for the soul of a loved one to be returned; his mother Brenmae Greyhaven. Again this wishbfailed, either because the soul would not come back or could not came back. As Ark internalized his feelings and prepared for their next excursion, Rodger penned a letter. Rodger hoped that in their absence the town would have a moment to rise up. The letter was to be sent to the towns most influential persons in secret. Ral Glulav, Lora, and the leader of the Ravenclaw gang, the very people they had tricked for the hags.

Their tiny bodies are aerodynamic when swung by the arm or the legs. Like Hammer Toss. Without the witch's magic, their iron boots will sink them to the bottom of the sea where they will drown. Toss them off your dock. The witch will be gone for many moons, and may not return.
— Rodger's letter to the people of New Kaspin

Entering Auntie Fleta's basement, the party and a strike force of redcaps entered a teleportatiin circle inscribed in bloody runes and were ceremoniously teleported to the gatehouse of The Doomvault. The group was greeted by a holographic image if Auntie Fleta who explained the basics of The Doomvault. Through the first black gate, into the Ooze Grottos, the party encountered two rooms with Oozes and Undead that were expertly dispatched.
