Session 17

by Jothilda Oakenfoot

On the thing above Rootwallow. We had flown up and see it’s 7 stories tall. We are getting ready ton go in when we were surrounded by ‘flapper’ automotons.
 
100’ diameter ring
2 Automotons on tracks dancing heading towards us. At a crescendo of the music the cannon shells go off and crash below. They are holding butcher knives.
 
The doors just push open, the tracks continue inside. It’s filled with gambling tables with trackless automaton dealers and a bartender. They shoot guns at us. As they reload we go through a hatch leading down. Elias and I had seen Bael through the hole in the stage.
4 pods made of flesh and metal. One has Bael and the other 3 have full robots.
 
Jo opens Bael’s container and catches him as he falls through the depresureized steam. His legs are robotic, left arm, and right eye.
He was doing a delivery for his parents, ended up in a caravan and when he went to run away he heard an explosion and everything went dark. He remembers nothing until we woke him up here.
 
He gets flashes of a spherical mechanical guy working on him. A single eye with wild lips… a modron.
 
15th of Azuthar is our current date.
 
Upson, is the robot Bael got his parts from. Said we are in a clockwork palace, run by Jason, a modron.
