Session 15: The Crypt of the First Council

by Avgift Kopparvingar Dharok

Time to see the damage we accidently caused. For this mission we are heading to the elven homeland of Ambarad and find some elven council member with the hopes of gaining another ally against the mind flayer invaders. The team for this is myself, Emrys, William, and Jel, who is now a white skinned, green eyed changeling with scars all over his body, curtesy of his new patron, the Lady of Pain. One more member, Cirlia Silinian, is a solemn looking elf with a gold and white pseudo dragon pet. Her coming along is a natural thing considering she too is an elven council member, courtesy of there being no one left.
 
Now, that we've set it up I'll get to reading this book. I asked Jel for a read of Joosta's autobiography. Now, Agarthi obviously took it for security purposes but they made a copy, translated to common. I'm hoping it'll be a pretty interesting read.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the way there, the captain, Rodrick Simions, has us all sit around a circle and talk about things to help relive the tension in the party. Jel and Cirlia have a bit of a strenuous relationship. She blames them for breaking the obelisk and allowing the mind flayers to invade which is true. They did do that. Jel on the other hand doesn't seem to care that they all died since the Obelisks would have broken down anyway since they cant be repaired. I suppose I should be mad but you know, Jel's logic is sound.
 
A storm also came in , roughed up the ship a little but nothing too serious. Made for some good reading ambience. The book is mostly on the construction of the obelisks and the dragon's ancient war against the demons. Even though it's just history, its a fascinating read. The demons replicated the slave armies of Kobolds, Dragonborn, and Humans under command of the dragons and created Tieflings. The obelisks were used to end the war by sealing Cana off from other planes. These magical planar shields made by dragon architects had a installed self destruct mechanism so whenever they were deactivated, they would break. Looks like it was just to buy some time for us.
 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We arrived to a pretty ruinous port. Cirlia threatened Jel that if they mess up here they will not return. Strenuous party here. Luckily, no such thing happened. The entire mission went off without a problem. The crypt was guarded by two skeletal guards, elven probably, and they let us pass after a stressful little introduction.
 
The crypt started off with some puzzles. Nothing too difficult. One went off but it didn't hurt too much. Just some necrotic energy in a burial spot. Spirits had us drop off our weapons as we went ahead to visit the Elven lord. There were puzzles on basically every pathway, all covering the tenants of the elven council. The one we met was Lord Naldurai. He is a keeper of the spirits, a lord of the elven dead. Like the other creatures in here, he is a skeletal spirit. He seems like a nice guy though. Pretty reasonable. Doesn't want to endanger his spirits so his forces will just do scouting, gathering information and allowing for other forces to attack weak spots. While it was a military meeting, I didn't get involved. I didn't need to. This Cirlia however is a strange one. Naïve. Her people are at war, but she doesn't want to cause deaths. If she's their leader I don't think there's much hope for the elves. The cost of victory will be deaths untold and the consequence of defeat is annihilation. Shame. The elves were doing good work, carving out the flank of the Orcs.
