Session 66: An out of this world fight with Neo the Lid.

by Asharene Shadowthorn

It is PanAelsh th 16th 1083 3pm.
 
We are in a pyramid. We just got finished fighting some snakes. Ash walks in and is like, whoa, Did you guys kill my Aunt? Panfyr picks up some of the roasted snakes for dinner lately.
 
We discover a room with holes in it. There are hyrogliphics inside that we know about thanks to Elias's familiar in there. We determine that it's some kind of symbolic network map? there are nodes? there is base 10? the nodes are able to make connections between other nodes, and based off that it kind of analog mathematical thing.
 
We meet a couple of adventurers. It's Quill and a friend named Fite. Quill is here to send Angst back to the Raven Queen because of the coin he got.
 
We find a statue head that has dirt in its mouth. Joe pulls out the dirt and the statue head starts speaking to us in a language we don't understand. Luckiily Franz is here and he has Comprehend Languages.
 
He tells us a RIDDLE:
3 Beasts flow with life, yet I remain still. I know the secrets of the past. The future I fulfill. the lion roars strength, The bull stands fast, the eagle soars high but my wisdom shall last. Tell me what do I hold within to make the water flow again.
 
The answer is Knowledge
 
Fite says the answer and water starts to spill out of the statue's mouth. The bull and eagle mouths stop spewing water.
 
Another RIDDLE we get:
 
I soar on wings through skies untold yet my heart is fierce my spirit bold, in waters depths my power lies, Transforming beneath darkened skies. What am I? With strength to renew a creature of secrets both old and true.
 
The answer is Memory---We really struggled with this one
 
Someting else happens with the statues that are spewing water. All heads have stopped spewing now? Actually the Eagle is still spewing water.
 
Yay. another RIDDLE.
 
Steadfast I stand both strong and true. roots through the earth, the sky in my view. patience and power in me align what am I? both grounded and divine?
Truth is the answer. Panfyr gets it. YAY
 
So now all the statues are spewing water?
 
we have to know what binds them all together in time and space? Jeezus. the Riddles just don't stop
It's Fixed Quadriplicity....Joe had to use a free answer to get it. This is lame.
 
Now there is some scraping noises to the south as iff a door opened or something. Actually it was a staircase that formed. We go up
 
There are 4 people statues with cracks of blue light? There is also a giant pillar. there are 4 monoliths with glowing squares facing away from the statues. but the square lights face each other??
 
WE determine the squares are portals.
 
Fite stuck his head into the Saturn portal and he disappeared. Joe follows after. The rest of us go through. Except Joe. He finds a button...to press or not to press.
 
he presses it and he runs toward the portal, he crashes into the wall. He pushes the button again, and the portals are reactivated. He goes through Whew.
 
WE are all standing on a barren planet in space. We do see a pyramid in the distance. WE also see a crater with a meteor in it with glowing blue light.
 
We head to the crater and there is a glowing ball and Panfyr and Hadyr absolutely become obsessed with it and fight for it. They refer to it as the Keynar. Before we can do anything, Panfyr uses the Keynar to summon a Neothelid. WTF
 
Elias immediately tries to take the keynar from Panfyr as he feels very pulled to it. Like it's a hoccleve thing. The Keynar speaks to Elias but he is able to resist it. Elias does see memories of his father and his grandfather in it. All of his bloodline all the way back to Zozth is in the ball.
 
3 mindflayers appear. Isn't that fun?
 
Franz steals the Keynar from Elias. He resists it's control on him. Franz smashes the keynar on the ground and it starts leaking a green toxic gas that melts rocks.
 
WE are able to kill Neo the Lid. The 3 mindflayers ask us to just let them take the worm and leave. We allow it. The deadly fog solidifies into the form of a man who looks kind of like Elias.
 
He approaches Elias and says, "thank you. you helped release me".
 
IT's Zozth in his youth. He tells Elias that he had released this part of himself in order to explore the galaxies and gain understanding. In doing so he fell into his thoughts and forgot who he was. He ended up in the keynar himself. He created a demi plane for himself to study. This ended up being something he couldn't escape. It's time he returns to himself. HE offers Elias a boone. Elias now has a complete understanding of how everything works in the world. To bad he didn't have this ability when we had to answer those damned riddles.
 
Joe gives away some of her posessions and has gloom take her into the astral plane. She disappears into a constellation of stars as we say a temporary, but long goodbye.
 
 
It is PanAelsh th 16th 1083 4:30pm
 
We really really need a long rest, and most of us can level up after.
