Forces seem to be doing a sweep down into the city Raised in skeletons not too smart, not looking in all houses and crannies 30 mins to palace deygoth 3 times the size of any other building 2 crossed swords on the front Castle like, battlements with small windows, most defensible structure seen outside of Bastion Constructed out of stone
Climb up the windowsill quietly and look over the roof Couple of skeletons on the promenade 2 to the right of palace Corpses littered around the statues 5-6 corpses, look like style of clothing as house deygoth Pale green leather jerkins with brown sleeves and pale trim Enormous ornate statues Plinths at the base 3 are drow, different drow, one with a greataxe, one with symbol with two scimitars, one with a massive pair of maces with spikes
Entrance to the tunnel see a figure - flowing golden hair, pale complexion, dark purple plate, carrying a double ended glaive Can’t see any of the left wall See the right wall into the cliff itself Tunnel looks like the only way in
Discuss options: Run Distraction options to draw mykera away
Dhaer turns into bat to case the joint Comes back and says rythera can see through magic illusions and knows we’re here Ryhtera comes out Calls for us to play as he needs target practice
Uses detect magic to find us from magic items equipped, says we look like a solstice tree
Skin barely hanging on to his face Purple robes Bones strapped on Archfey Lich standing brazenly in the courtyard Can see through magical illusions (truesight) Also found us using detect magic
Rythera - immune to non magic damage Rel did damage
Mykera came around the corner to cut our escape off FIGHT STUFF Robyn gets wiped AGAIN Dhaer saves her bacon Rythera nopes outta there with Mykera We head back to Daegoth palace
Head to the palace Go through 20ft entry tunnel into circular room Pedestal in the middle 5 tunnels leading to other
1 to left, two corridors leading off, leading off to grand dining room, long table with chairs around it; grander chair at the head of the stone. Small corridor off the side that lead to small alcove rooms, light peeking from each, alcoves for slits into the archway 2 Workshop; statues in front of cooled forges; anvils in the centre, one with hammer mid air, racks of weapons and tanning racks. No leather on racks but seems to be where the guards get their armour. 3 Next down lead to two upward stairs 4 kitchen area and pantry alcoves 5 has a locked door at the end
Statues of petrified drow
Eeriely quiet Deathly silent Skeletons have stopped moving and
Dhaer said that Rythera was in one of the upstairs rooms, writing 40 golden shimmer coins, not the same gold that we have 27 bronze coins 63 small leadlike coin
Take the stairs up to the right Open chamber with poles in the middle Two doors at the end, one left one right Poles appear to be wood, looks like a practice room
Doors are both locked, take the one to the left to Pick the lock, use one of Liv’s lockpicks to hold the latch open Long corridor, 70-80ft, 20 ft, 30ft and one on the end.
First door opens to a library full of books Few drow milling about in robes similar to the one seen in the hallway
Second door is a barracks Beds, bunks and footlockers - 40-50 beds 20-25 statues Dark green tunic armour Various insignia on it, golden shimmering trim across the chest Very well made Practical but ceremonial guard wear All in pristine condition - set up exactly the same place, well trained, well drilled
Door at the end is locked 3 latches Looks to be similar self-locking Liv gives guidance Magical lightning zips out, Robyn dodges out of the way
Room was quarter of the size 3 tables in the room High writing benches On one wall there is a map Smaller version of the one of the wall on the table
Map on the wall is of the Palen Imperium More detail around House deygoth Shows passages that we were going to be taking Circumventing House carlaith Palen twice the size of Deygoth Carlaith similar to Deygoth
Maps on table: one is overview of area around Carlaith, circular centre with bridge leading off it Different coloured stones placed on the map on the table
Statue holding a handful of stories One by the third table
In the war room, planning their assault on Carlatih Stones on the table, dark blue in various points around carlaith Rose quartz around the outside
They know not to assault the main bridge its too well defended Neither of the Drow Don’t believe either of them are the sentry - neither are beefy boys Third map seems to be internal view of not sure where
Rel copies third map of a blueprint of a layout of somewhere, not know where Robyn copies underdark map with Dhaer’s help to take down words and markers
Penny finds a document of a scouting report, they know about the dragon and the size of Avoid if possible Seems to be controlled by the night mother Nothing like anything they’ve ever seen
Dhaer users Sending to report finds to House Palen
Rel looks out the window Beautiful view, greek hillside, off the side is the small pools illuminated by the pools Shapes by the pool but no idea the size Lush greenery in the cavern Muted version of the Feywild
Robyn pinches one of the sapphire war room stones
Can’t open the door that Liv attempted due to the Rel takes a chip out of the wood Dhaer mends it don’t want to make them unhappy
Guards statues in left wing Taller figure in more ornate armour Standing in front of large slate with scrawling on it Seems to be second or general of sorts giving a briefing
Second barracks Rel and liv try to open footlocker and fail
Robyn opens second room, seems to be more officers quarters, less beds, fancier armour
Last one Open the door and Robyn gets paralysed by a spell Sentry is jacked and also nekkid Partner (male) in bed pulling sheets up Sentry is a huge man, bed set up for him He’s reaching for his scimitars
Robyn puts towel around Sentry Rel checks - find a coded message, Dhaer copies in undercommon for trying to break it later
Lightning’s twice trying to open last door Robyn gets knocked back and door swings shut Glowing purple dome in the room# Arcane books around the room Mechanical and arcane workings in the dome generating its own power source Tomes on the shelves Two chairs, one with a statue in it Figure in chair is wearing exceptionally ornate rows Door opens onto alcoves with arrow slits on this side
Rel and Robyn pass out after drinking Lucid dreaming after drow liquor
Next morning restoration on Sentry Move scimitars to other room Purple wave came from behind us
Sentry disintegrated Starts screaming Disintegrates into dust as the purple wave hits
