Session 11: Preparations

by Gek Ferox

Rootsreach 26-27/5/1436


  • Maerel chuckles to herself when she thinks no one's looking

  • Sylac- Asterius was upset about the fact that Demeter had hired people and taking bodies, Asterius wants to see us, Sylac doesn't think there's anything we can do about it, random lightning strikes have been happening in the forest around the grove and south-west, strike every three or four days and animals go missing, trogladites build tunnels and make it that the Yggdrasil tree cant soak up the moisture so the moisture builds up and makes the swamp expand

  • Arkax commissioned solid blocks of steel in the shape of armour, probably for a golem, there's also a gem set into a pendant, seems magical, it's called a shield guardian, they are magical and can store spells. very combat based

Ambassador
  • they underestimated how many people signed up, they need more airships, sending more people, have one to two months until they leave, suggesting to set fire to the methane in the tunnels so drive them out, the brown mould will be transported to be at an entrance so that the fire doesn't spread or something, the ambassador will look for entrances on his wyvern, busy ourselves for a week

  • The Slaad were created by the god of order when he wanted to impose order on chaos ie. Limbo

Daniel
  • Got super scared when he heard the Slaad hide is from Limbo

  • wants us to go get ingredients for potions, lightening been happening at distinct intervals, they happen once every two and a half days, no storms happening in the evening, no fires as a result of the lightening

  • City to the west blocked by a mountain range, in the mountain range lakes of lava, fire snakes, have a unique tongue, cool magic antlers, cyclops eye (they are dangerous)

  • Sylac and Daniel have different time frames for the lightening

Morvid
  • Her birds told her that we have been in and out of Rootsreach

  • Nearly cant tell what the feather is, doesn't look like a bird feather, most birds can see more colours so the feathers have colours humans can't see but this feather doesn't have any of them (she's an elf so she can tell), she doesn't know any other creatures that have feathers, heard tell of lizards with feathers aeons go that would now be extinct or evolved past that, might be on Chult,

  • The door has been opened recently because the mould that was charred would already have grown back, might be a door to Chult and would explain how Kal got back and forth and why it's been opened, so either the Dragon is on Chult or some other plane that hasn't been touched in ages with extinct creates when the dragon went to rest

Spellcounter
  • Arkax seems like he wants to give life for Clarance (shield guardian)

  • Wants to talk to Sylac and will while we're on our week trip

Horses
  • Deposit of 20 crowns for two horses that we'll get back if we bring the horses back


Travel 28-30/5/1436


  • Sylac gives us one of his scales that if we put on the floor he'll come

  • Lightning strikes quite close to us, we go towards where we heard it, horse lying on the floor with broken leg close to where the lightning struck, there's no fire, horses body gets dragged along the floor but didn't see what gets dragged, the horse stops getting dragged and wakes up and starts frantically kicking at something even though one leg is shattered, a patch of charred grass probably where the lightning struck, it was a vines monster (shambling mound), someone shoots its heart with a bow and arrow to kill it fully, it heals with lightning, there's a displacer beast and an Unseelie Fae, they released lightening to create the shambling mound as a hunting game, there's three of them playing the hunting game, he's ok with humans getting killed by the shambling mounds

 
 
To do list
go to grove to check if ok, Go back to cave with massive door, make slaad armour, buy sword, look up Kal, Slaads and colour, finish stone in Silserion, ask Vermeer/Arkax/Lady Lavender/library if they know anything about Vermeer brain and body situation, tunnel in the village by the windmill, find a home, figure out why Vermeer was in Chult when scrying but then travelled really far really fast to attack us, research the queen of blades, go help Arkax with bracer+ ask about his potion making, look up Thordak the Lavalord, collect magic items
