Session VIII: Abyss Hopping Report
General Summary
We found the roots of the mother trees pinned and chained in the Abyss. This was done by gnome researchers who wanted to increase the magic in the mortal plane according to the scattered papers we found. One root was already dead, the next in pain, the other in fear and the last one has become corrupted and evil. After a lot of effort, mostly by Strongarm, the root of Mother Tree - Africa(in pain) was cut free. Howeber the sword of Zariel had blackened during the exposure.
We move and heal the tree
He got out - but zariel is blackened and silent
Strongarm goes in to unpin the root and cut the root in pain
Portal is made of mithril along with all equipents
Has no will to live - everything to be protected has died- only dried out desolated bleached wood and shrub - it is using me to become stronger
Tree is pain with pleas to kill it
Lab equipment is made of mithril and there is a seal of force
Tu runs into desolated savannah area with large whitened tree - like glasshouse underground to see outside. This is underground basement with more gnome research
We join in orb to go through root portal we go through root of pain
1 mother tree is dead and root as well - the o their is in pain the other in fear and one has become evil
Bob - similar spell as globe is cast one portals source in mortal realm
Plague affected his invulnerable orb when it touched the roots
Roots with spikes and chains fo reed into a point of the tapezohedron
Zan used his skill to see the dead still see their essence flowing into blackish roots the essence of dead clearly present
We circled around because there is no more warded spaced
Before paranoia - reports from home that the shamans and necro noticed dwindling amounts of lingering spirits the tree on jabralta blackened completely. The dead went into tree the screams are physical manifestation of all spirits combined pulled in through tree
Picked this location bc they thought it was safe but at one moment the environment became sentient as soon as the first root blackened
Journal of first research assignment to restore magic to the world - etherium was decreasing believed there is void behind our reality where etherium escapes too - there are 4 ancient trees that connect to the elemental realms put roots here to drink of magic here so they can spread magic instead of oxygen
Every time closes eyes feels the beast wandering - every time opens eyes sees compatriots - thinks they are connected
Travel journal: in the part about wards- keeps being out, the wards don’t ease their feelings they think that their contraptions got infected - the trap looks at them - their perception fades, get used to dark - paranoia about corruption of boils and inflammatory veins - doesn’t trust companions anymore
Kaa to read the 40 pages on Wolfpack while travelling
We try to follow the pillars without en tering the crystals
It triggers Amy so don’t touch them
We can remove crystals that smoke with strenght
Familiar covered in boils and festered - it died in an instant
White roots: veins pulsating on 1 and 1 with boils 1 crumpled and withered - like mother tree 1 turned into to boils - fused with it
Effi familiar inside - 4 portals of different color and shape 8 5 6 and uncountable - through it come roots and on those roots are boils the roots look sickly
Bob gets another crystal in his eye to unlock higher abilities - he uses one of the crystals collect by kaa
Chair thrown through trapezohodron and then falls on the chair broken as if ancient on the floor
A familiar hum like the mother tree
Mind filled with agonizing screams of torment of 1 and 1 voice inviting her in and 1 screaming in fear
Effi tries to communicate with plants to crystals
Papers are in gnomish only kaa can do comprehend languages we take the 40 pages to read later
Trapezohoron = magic: abjuration + conjuration
Further 10 m wide trapezohedron dark purple softly hovering above ground
On table some paper books, quilts and inkt - someone suddenly rushed away and dropped eberything
We might be in building it seems
Circle or corvette of palen richting tafel
Behind us pure darkness
Paal om de 10 feet - simple tables in the distance
It creates the darkness?
Palen met crystals with black smoke emitting from them
Strongarm casts daylight - we see
It’s magical darkness- torches and shit don’t help
We jump in: its pitch black we don’t see shit
Focus 1 min: kaki groen triangle portal appears
Zan has stick of the mother tree as a staff
We gonna search for mother tree stuff
Strongarm still obsessed with the sword in stone
Effi goal - find and fix the cause of the corruption of the mother tree
No physical needs in this realm nut eating and stuff is needed for morale - you will be very thirsty and hungry once you return to mortal realm
Some of the mother trees are dying - we don’t know how to fix it
Bob - read about demons: a country trying to resolve energy issue - research higher plane of magic - bob presumes it’s this realm - result is power crystals
Books here are very abridged versions of what is in the mortal realm
Huitzcaotl - trickery is around here somewhere
If if you want to return to mortal plane 1 hour concentration needed
Rowan explains: travel requires focus - interplanar travel allows to hop - it requires focus of 1 min on person, object, etc - but you are never sure what you are gonna get
Shirt rest Here restores all spell slots
We need to learn how to abyss hop
It should be chaos here - no structure: if there is a hierarchy higher than 3 tiers - inform Rowan
Don’t stay longer than a few days are giant millipedes will eat you and they have a taste for dwarves flesh
Anything that exists some demon will have thought of it - it will always will be in a dangerous and corrupted environment
Damian intervenes: they know a mine realm with rare metals which is easier to get
Check sword: metal he has never seen before (strongarm) - he wants to pull it
Time for dnd again
