CHAPTER 3: SESSION 1: LYNN

Wand use spells:
Flame arrows
Enlarge/Reduce
 
 
We had decided to look for Lynn’s Lab. She is probably in the business district.
I roll investigation to see if I am right that she would be on the outskirts of town. I got a 12. Someone else got a 3. The lab is near the fossil center.
 
We all rolled initiative and those will be the numbers for the whole session. I got a 4 but Kaliel got a 3 so I am next to the last.
 
We walked to the lab. I got an extra 5 hit points because someone cast aid and I am “squishy.”
 
I have Tides of Chaos but never got to use it. Wild magic. My subclass is Wild Magic.
 
Bear the dog comes back.
 
As we approach the lab (Emil had pointed to the point on the map.)
The lab is a large circular building. It looks like it has been chained up for quite some time. We don’t see anything through the windows. Front door is locked with a huge padlock and chain. No sign that the building is occupied. Kaliel broke open the lock and the door opened in a flash a woman came bolting out. She came from an area that appeared to be above the door and placed her feet on Kaliel’s shoulders and hung on in a choke hold. They tumbled and Kaliel ended up on top. This is a much older Crystal. She said she doesn’t know where Lynn is. Lynn is now 6’9 and taller than Kaliel. She is no longer an identical to Lynn. She is in full, black scale mail. She is a gladiator. She is now 19. She remembers Aidan. She tells us that although we found the lab, she is handling the matter so we should just go. We refuse. She claimed we interrupted her op. We go in anyway. She claimed the security system was activated which is why she was still on the 1st floor. It is a magic that she has never seen before, so she is waiting for her younger sister – Zettara. The security system has cut through Crystal’s sword. She doesn’t think that Lynn is in here by herself. Lynn has been in here for over 6 months. Crystal needs her on the front lines. Lynn is most familiar with the magic channels on the front lines and without her knowledge they are not able to open all of the channels that need to be open.
 
Crystal brings us up the stairs to see the security system. We see a laser grid. Crystal thinks it’s magic. She tosses what is left of her sword and it is chopped into pieces. The lasers are about 12 “thick and go all the way across and up. We can’t find away to shut it down. They come from the ceiling.
 
We hear footsteps on floor behind us and we see Zettara walk in. She is not the same as we left her. She is 17 years old and approximately 6’1”. She ha tiny horns like a satyr. She is a blonde now. Scars across her face. She recognizes us “WHERE THE F DID YOU GUYS GO?” YOU LEFT ME AS WILKINS! She blames Kaliel.
 
Zettara says we can’t be trusted – we had one job….
 
She was 16 when we left. Zettara – no way to go but up.
There are 4 doors on the first-floor s we walk down stairs.
 
Door #1 We are greeted by a pale man with a long longsword. His eyes are dark eyes and fangs. THESE ARE VAMPIRES!
He points his sword and asks who we are. He tells Aiden that he is impeding an investigation. Crystal looks over the railing and indicates that she doesn’t know him. He tells us to leave. Char does an insight check while 3 other men come out from the stairwell. We are not pleased with the result. Bad Vibes. Zettara attacks so initiative! I am in the back. Emil cast “Cloud of Daggers.” Aiden stabs the one nearest him. Maia has bear go first. He missed. Bear got scratched. Maia channeled Divinity as a bonus action and then took two attacks. She missed the first and landed the second and cut his off but it re-formed. She then did Divine Smite and he died.
Cloud of daggers is still up and the man of the right took a large swing hit Kaliel and her shield was cut in half. Kaliel takes 20 damage and is infected with corruption. She is thrown out of the initiative order. I wanted to give her an elixir of health but it wouldn’t help. I cast flame arrows on the guy nearest to me. I roll for the spell and for the flame arrows and the crossbow. Must roll to hit Extra 1d6 because it is flame.
First roll actions.
It hit! Damage plus 1d6 Then wild magic table.
Crystal holds the unconscious Kaliel and then it is Emil’s turn.
 
Emil does Lesser Restoration on Kaliel and she recovers.
Crystal goes back up the stairs.
 
Two guys left. Maia cast Bane and both passed. The man with the shield ran and hit Zettara and Emil with the Rhino’s charge and both got 34 hit points. Maia was able to reduce the damage on Emil (7). She than attacked with Bear. Kaliel put up a force field to help Emil.
Second man dies and his sword floats for a while and lands in Emil’s hand.
 
3rd man takes Zettara out the back window and keeps running until hits a building. Zettara is now stuck in the foundation of building. He grows about 4 sizes. He grabs 2 guys and uses them as weapons.
I cast reduce to try to make him smaller. He passed the con save. Crystal jumped down and joins us.
Kaliel used his great ax and used acrobatics with the help of Crystal. He hits
Crystal punches him and he keels forward and Kaliel moves in with her long sword and he is dead.
Zettara is dug out of the wall she was in and healed somewhat but still has a concussion.
 
Still 4 doors in front of us going down. The entire building is a lab. We don’t know if she would be upstairs or downstairs.
 
First door. Crystal and Kaliel go to door #1. We are behind them. The ground is shaking. A dinosaur is asleep in the doorway, blocking it. He is just chilling (stuck). I cast reduce on him. A con save. He failed. He is now half the save he was. He comes out of the doorway and flops on his side and we give him scritches. His name is Sir Muffin.
 
Beyond the door are other dinosaurs and some lab equipment. Looks like outside. We hear a tyrannosaurus but it is chilling. See door way on the other side. We leave to take a look at another door.
Second door. Crystal opens it. She gets hit in the head with a rock. Kaliel catches her. It looks like an earth elemental. Kaliel slams the door. He opens it but he is too large to fit through. A fire elemental is behind it.
Third door: Leads so far down we can’t see the bottom of the stair case. Divine sense was cast. A little bit of everything. We passed.
Fourth door: We hear more creatures and the sound of glass being tapped at.
 
We decide to go through number 1.
I stop and scritch Sir Muffin. Zettara puts Emil down. She swings open the door.
Kaliel takes the lead but Zettara climbs onto his back. We give some of the dinosaurs snacks.
Crystal carries me and we run from the snack running dinos. Raptors start chasing us.
No ceiling!
Prestidigitation was cast and fires scared those who were chasing us.
We avoided falling off of a cliff.
We see gold coins in front of us. The surface shifts. It is a gold dragon. Crystal put me down and I backed away. I speak to it in draconic. He told me I was in the wrong place. He won’t tell us where Lynn is. Kaliel wants to bribe him with more gold. Zettara thinks the dragon is a cat and wants to pet it. The dragon takes the gold but won’t tell us where Lynn us. I offered chocolate but he doesn’t want it. He claims to know Kaliel. He scoops up Kaliel. Then he picks up Zettara and drops Kaliel. She thinks he is her cat god. He tells us to leave his domain. Zettara still has a concussion so doesn’t really know what is going on.
We are in a chasm but we can still move to the right or left. Maybe the dragon will talk to the others who don’t speak draconic (not me). Will respond in common if the others stop shouting. He really wants the sword that dropped in Emil’s hand. The dragon knows Kaliel because of the goddess and he is popular. He tells Emil he can have Zettara in return for the sword. He also says that Lynn is in the building but won’t tell us where the exit is. He breaks the sword. (Zettara injured by vampires?) He tells us that there are other dragons and we are not to return to him. Kaliel picks up Zettara again.
We head to the right because a breeze is coming from that direction. There are giant centipedes on the ceiling. Burrowing in and out of the rock.
We feel the ground moves under our feet. Cave worm but leaves us alone. The more we walk the higher the chasm gets.
Cabins in the air. Huts are built into the air. There are mountain cat folk looking down at us The Megaverse version of Tabaxi. In their cat form they would look like Main Coon Cats. Wild fur. Armor looks like centipede hide and stone. They are tall. Zettara holds out her hands. She needs a cleric to heal her. The kids wave to us. Adults ignore us. The chief (braided beard) talks to us. I talk to him and ask for a healer. Leader says he will help if someone can beat him in a drinking contest. I offer up Kaliel. I ask what they will be drinking. It is beer and wine together. The rest of us get a short rest. Members give her guidance and inspiration. Chief’s wife brewed the drink. She lost but didn’t puke so he agrees to help if she has one more drink with him. He invites us all up to the village. Kids climb all over us. About 2’4” We don’t understand them but they rub their noses on our cheeks. They are connected to a ley line.
 
Hut with red top is medical hut. I go with Zettara to med hut. Doctor had really big goggles on his ears with a bomber hat for cats and full robe. Remy is the doctor. She was charged by a vampire into a building. Will take 42 hours. I stay to help Remy. He taps into the ley line and can’t be interrupted. The others play and sing and party with the cats.
 
Lynn got in trouble because of all this. Not an experiment type but studies other races and had lived with the cat folks.
