The Ruins (pt 1 & 2)

by Subutai Taizu-Temujin

Pt 1
-encountered weird goblin asking for toll, threatened it, got trapped in force bubble for a minute
-encountered a werewolf, immune to all non-magical attack, glaive and unarmed attacks useless, could only grapple
-made it to ruins, attacked by ghouls in the night, took some rib bones from one to carve
-started toward the ruins, stepped on stone that transported us to a different tower
-the tower was full of stuff, accidentally set off cloud of noxious gas, then party set off door trap that awoke dust monsters, fought them and won, continued exploring
-Kirth tried to open a trunk but a huge demon appeared and told us to leave, we did, but Kirth discovered that the demon was an illusion, we went back and the trunk was full of money and components, and an unidentified potion
-left the tower, tried to go to another ruin but got transported to an arch that was also a portal
-Kirth sent his owl familiar through and when he safely came back, Kirth lied to the party about a knoll attack and went through the portal himself, we all ran through and saw an inhabited castle to be explored later

  • we tried to head to a different ruin but were stuck in space, we were moving forward away from the arch but getting no closer to our destination, and the sun hadn't moved in the sky in 8 hrs, we decided to camp

  • the book we took from the tower was about the First Netheresian War, and the notes were battle strategies

  • we were able to make it into another ruin, but as we were exploring we were attacked by statues

  • I was felled twice, but my friends risked their lives to save me each time

    • -we eventually defeated the statues, and hunted for treasure in the ruin, and we found a lot
  • afterward, we went home


    • Pt 2
  • ventured downriver, camped and got attacked by these weird creatures that were whispering Jamison's name, beat them easily

  • got to the forest and encountered green and blue and purple mist that was antigravity, able to cling to branches and move back down to the ground and continued by grabbing things, eventually got out of the mist

  • camped in a ruin, Alastor discovered three humanoids in the ruin and offered them food. they snatched the food and fled, leaving the floors covered in goop

  • continued on our way and eventually neared the ruins, coming to the same hill that we had once been attacked by statues on

  • we camped nearby and found a ruin nearby, which contained these terrible shrieking ghosts. There were so many of them that we had to flee. They had a master, but any damage we did to him was so trivial that he paid it no mind. The ghosts wouldn't go far past the room, so we returned to explore the rest of the ruin

  • in one room, there was a chest that no one could open so I broke it open, the potions inside broke and mixed and summoned a demon, who wanted to kill us

  • the ghosts heard the commotion and attacked the demon, so we escaped, Professor Pollando and Apollo stealing both the staff and orb from the ghost master

  • we left that ruin and camped at a shrine of the goddess Mystrl, where Alastor uncovered a portal to a different shrine

  • we went back to the original shrine to get Egg, and when we arrived back the ruined shrine was no longer ruined

  • we went back to the first shrine again and went on our way

    • -much like the first time i had been to the ruin, we stepped on stone and were transported to another tower
  • this tower was far worse, it was filled with statues of screaming people, who we found out were prisoners that had committed crimes

  • I can't imagine what kind of crime is punishable by being turned to stone, but I don't think it a punishment fitting the crime

  • there were crates that were full of these statues, and some of them were children

  • we nearly lost Apollo, he went into a room and it trapped him and something attacked, nearly turning him to stone before I could break down the door

  • he was turning when I took him out, and Egg restored him to life

  • we quickly found a way out afterward, and on the way back to town we made peace with the frog people that had attacked us before
