Session 72: The One where Dhaer called Rel Clever
General Summary
Wake up in morning - little sleep, point of exhaustion
Liv attunes to wild magic gauntlets
Head towards house deygoth
Weird walking in a light path from the glowing stones, same light as during the day in Bastion or the Smithing district
Reach where the wall stops
Right wall goes off, walking alongside an immense cavern
Natural crystals Clusters of pink crystal lighting up the area
Little movement on the far wall
Fluttering ribbons, springs in the far cliff face
Significant drop to the right
Rel asks if they’re mined
Dhaer says no, cultivated for light sometimes but otherwise not needed
10-20 creatures moving around at the bottom but hard to gauge size due to size of drop
Path continues, doesn’t come close to the bottom of the cavern
See a large archway ahead
Drow statues flanking the archway
Get closer
Stonework is beautifully carved
Depicts several drow with a pair of scimitars crossed their chest
Words in undercommon: Deygoth stands guard
Each of the houses had their own sepciality
Carlatih was arcane and healing
Palen of commerce and counsel
Deygoth house of protection
Ruler is the Sentry
Most Drow speak undercommon and common
No evidence of anyone been there in months
Wall to the left was the wall to the city - enter into a giant cavern
The statues are made of the same stone
Not glowing
Darker greyish brown stone
Statues look like the people
People in various states of walking
Silence and stillness broken when Rel knocks on the door to one of the houses
Stone door but swings very easily
In the house, stone table, stoves, mostly stone
Go into the bedroom, finds three statues sleeping
Dhaer knows a spell that could work but only once per day
Resolve to find the Sentry and revive him
View from the city is stunning over the cavern below
Arcane sounding home throughout the city
Statues most looking left
Walk towards it and find glowing dome
Emitting hum that is permeating the city
Mechanical movement inside the dome
Cyclical movement
Liv casts Speak with Dead
Strange creature clad in purple, skin falling off its bone placed something here (Sounds like the animated thing with a glaive)
The Sentry wears the crest of Daegoth, dual crossed scimitars with a castle behind
Only two magic users in Daegoth, both parts of the Sentry’s council
Why did no one try and stop the creature - it appeared from nowhere, seconds and then nothing
Carlatih the enemy rebelling against the Imperium, they must be stopped
Robyn sees movement up the top
Couple of hours from the keep
Dhaer casts pass without a trace
See bits of movement closer
Patrols of 3 humanoid figures
Seemingly around this area
Not wearing purple
Brief glimpses, wearing raggedly plate and leather, see through ribcages
Skeletons animate
Rel hits the well
Skeletons attack
Rel notices glaives
The Ilithid of the Underdark worship Zua’garr
Hear Rythera in the city, “I didn’t realise I had guests! Please, come visit.”
Take watches; nothing happens though some skeletons stop outside
