STATIC 36: The Place of Dreamers

General Summary

Wherein the Blinkertons descend into a place of primal power

To the Place of Dreamers

The The Interdimensional Blinkerton Detective Agency returned to Verdstow after slaying Kelildik the Beguiling and received a warm welcome. Much merry-making occurred.
The next morning, Naelroston directed some Verdstow scouts to show our adventurers the way to the place they have been seeking, which the Verdstow call Silrousat, which, roughly translated from a strange dialect of sylvan, means Place of Dreamers. The Verdstow don’t enter the temple itself. There’s a power here beyond ancient-old, like the Ceaseless Drifts. They respect that, and that it is not “their place.” Ominous!
Getting there proved to be a slight difficulty, too, as our heroes were Displaced and left to deal with a Conjoined Queen and her hive. Battle commenced and, thankfully, our Blinkertons were Displaced back to the Patch after their victory.
After a much needed rest, our heroes reached the Place of Dreamers, which is sure to be the Temple of Alomera they've been looking for. As they entered the temple, they could tell it has been corrupted from its previous purpose. Apparently, followers of Caesis have laid claim to the power inherent in this temple and profaned it to their own ends. If our heroes are to offer Alomera enough power to be able to converse with the Goddess of Dreams, then these acolytes of Malice and Scorn have got to go. Combat, as it does, commenced to do just that.

And That's Where We Left It

We'll see what other horrors this corrupted temple has in store for our heroes during our next session.

Varied & Sundry Details

• While encamped in the patch, Hypatia dreamed again of that strange dying figure that seems to seek her out wherever she goes. This time, however, it has a different face. One that Hypatia feels drawn to, but does not yet recognize.
• Nero and Corinna had some unfortunate experiences with what can best be described as a Slime Whale. Nero got himself pushed through the entirety of the entity's digestive tract, suffering some physical (and perhaps psychological) harm in the process. Corinna, spying a saddle on one of these creatures, tried to ride the Slime Whale. Unfortunately, she got bucked off pretty much immediately. Who knows if the Blinkertons will see these creatures again?
• Tridge took the opportunity during the feast at Verdstow to engage in a little bit of Altering. She took some Verdstow Pine Brew and Altered it, providing these libations to Nero and Corinna.
