Session 25-28
Exploring the dangers of this new level faced the braves with challenge after challenge but they ventured forth undaunted. Slaying Velstracs, mimics, and putting to rest vengeful phantoms as they explored. They even discovered a slumbering giant aberration in the remnants of what must have once been a grand arena. Their progress however came to a screeching halt as they ventured down a secret hallway activating a magical blade trap that sliced into the party. Many were injured but Imiq the Pengu monk got the worst of it, taking lethal wounds as magical blades converged upon him. Our heroes were able to recover the body and escape making a somber journey back home to break the news to Sakari and Koko.
Unwilling to let this tradgedy break them the heroes ventured back into Gauntlight joined by Koko, who had a newfound determination to use his newfound powers for good and to follow a bit in his brother's footsteps despite what others in the Pengu clan may think. As they descended into Gauntlight Koko heard a noise eerily similar to Imiq's Khakarra. Following the noise they were led to a hidden acclove along an infinitely descending (or ascending depending on the direction you decided to go) stairwell and found a hidden chamber. In each room of this chamber a different memory of Belcorra was displayed. Spectral moments locked in time. However waiting at the end was a fearsome monster known as a Voidglutton, a being that feasted on negative emotions who was slowly savoring the anguish of Imiq's trapped soul. Without thought for surrender or retreat the Bravest Braves hurled themselves at the foe. Expending wave after wave of magic missiles all while trying to sink their blades into the entities elusive form. Their foe was fearsome yet ultimately brittle and would fall to the Bravest Braves continued onslaught. Injured but secure in the fact that their allies soul could continue its journey into the afterlife the Bravest Braves regrouped and delved into the depths once more.
Continuing their exploration they discovered a room with gaping holes in the middle populating by strange froglike hopping aberrations. The battle seemed to be fairly one sided until the strange creatures managed to push Lans into the hole. As he plummeted into the water Lans inadvertently had awoken several slumbering Hydras, still groggy and lethargic from what must have been a long hibernation. Lans was rescued from his dire straits by Mrk who selflessly followed down , bore several attacks from the fearsome beasts and jump back both of them backup to safety. The remaining abberations were dispatched without much fuss.
As they returned to town to rest Lans began to notice some unusual stiffness in his muscles. Fearing a disease from the Velstrac's rusty chains he sought the aid of Zips, all the while Arturo began to be plagued by strange dreams. Together the Bravest braves considered all the strange phenomenon occurring and carefully considered what the next steps on their journey should be,
