Session 113-4: Bitch I am a Cloud / I didn't roll demons or dragons I rolled a natural diaaster
General Summary
43 Proviso
- Continue south to the collapsed tower - see rubble and other statue remains.
- Peni's arm burns - he's sneaking about checking it. Then the runes are activated on the rod and Peni timeshifts.
- The tower in the past is standing, clean, with torches in the window. Peni hears voices, one he recognises (his patron that has spoken to him before), and a second human-toned one.
- "I don't care how long it takes I want those subjects get those bodies"
"I'm sorry I will seek Garrigal" "Good. Athenal, you will find some and bring them to me posthaste." - Peni is then rupped back to the present and recounts most of what he heard and saw - that something to the Tower is connected to the rod, and the Tower's owner wanted bodies from Garrigal.
- Rel asks if anyone can use the rod - tries it and nothing happens. Liv also tempted to use it.
- No abyssal rift in the area.
- Head on to the forests edge and complete absence of forest.
- Sheer cliff, land far below, fog that looks different to the Cracked Flats but different to the Feywild. Can see peaks in the distance.
- Ground looks very smooth, darker than the stone in the forest.
- Cliffside looks scaleable, about 150-200Ft, not as deep as the Deep.
- Appears like the land was lowered or forest raised. Land below is barren horizon to horizon. Faint orange glow in the air.
- Head North to use the Deep as a reference; cliffside doesn't diminish and weather gets colder.
- Across the flats in the night see glows appear and disappear; appear to be moving.

- Climb down the cliffside; its warmer here than by the forest, significantly warmer.
- Look into the deep - about 700ft deep here, faint sounds of rushing water, and a large dark shadow (bigger than a harpy, smaller than a dragon).
- Fog has moved closer - moving closer at a faster rate, get hit by a cloud of ash and dust (pyroclastic flow from the volcano), causing acid damage.
- We get ambushed by Fire Elementals and nearly all die (not an exaggeration).
- After getting rid of them, we head towards the nearest mountain - glowing rivers of lava coming down.
- Make camp at the base of the fire mountain.
- Tapestry image ion the diary - shows 7 peaks, and a light showing emanating from the peak on either 3rd or 5th south depending on orientation of image (a mountain to the side of the centre).
- Robyn has dream of the mountain and another chat with Mordekai as a shape in the rock with triangular face, horns, blue eyes - then at looking again, its just a rock.
- Can see the outline of the mountains in the morning, sees the Deep ending roughly 3/4 into the range, not clear if it goes all the way or only part of the way.
45th Proviso
- Head towards the channel leading from the mountain to the deep
- Mountain seems less angry and rumblings less frequent, frequent sounds of running water
- River flowing from the mountain, source from a cave amongst a series of seven naturally occuring caves, about 10-25ft between them. Can't see the bottom of the river, milky looking.
- Notice curving groves from the caves, silthering animal - see a humanoid top half and snake lower in the caverns.
- Charmed to leave it alone; Rel fells compelled and crosses regardless of the acid damage. Liv fishes her out.
- Robyn finds more caves, comes back and Peni thundersteps them across, pissing off about 30 yuanti in the process (poison javelins hurt).
- Floor is softer on this side, damp and green.
- Rel nearly falls into the Deep (all 700ft) and is rescued by Liv.
- 3-4 days travel to the mountain range - can make out the 7 peaks clearly, and also a large shape of a bird near the mountains.
