Session 22: St. Leo
General Summary
Identified sapphire gem as the elemental gem (Sapphire).
Aftermath
Root took action right away and jumped into the water, swimming fast after the slain dragon in the ocean. However, unbeknownst to her at the time, the sahuagin were already prepared to devour her, along with some sharks. Fortunately, Wu was right there to become a whale, tank MUCH of the damage from the sharks, and snatch up the magic items. He barely made it back onto the boat with his life, however. Meanwhile, the rest of the party did their best patch work to keep the boat from sinking (barely), but it was enough to do the trick.To St. Leo
Danton informed the party that the ship had sustained significant damage. So much so that they will have to remain in St. Leo for about 40 days. He charged the party 1,000gp for repairs upfront and told them to be on guard in the village, as it is a weird place. After a few hours in port signing documents, the party finally made contact on the island, a very ordered village that made Vexx exceptionally nervous. Coming in during lunchtime, the party noticed a few things:- Nobody seemed malicious (they weren't intending harm to the party at all), but they were all coming off as judgy
- Everyone but Mia, the youngest of the group, seemed to be very ordered in their life. Mia is a young girl who seems like she loves to play
- The village is very small. 43 people were at lunch and at the prayer time.
- Everyone ate at the same time and almost in sync.
- Vexx noticed that Mahlon from the Scavengers in the City of Thalmor was there. Wu picked up immediately that this was the person missing from their first mission in the city. He had no memory of Vexx or Thalmor, however.
- Wu noticed that the dragonborn and the aasimar were exchanging glances toward one another during the lunchtime.
- Laws and Vexx (Laws is "babysitting" Vexx)
- Keyleth and Root
- Redbeer, Wu and Gimble
Exploring the Village
The party went to the Temple, where they realized there may be something underneath the temple, but the access was in the back room. During the evening prayer, Wu, Gimble, and Redbeer all went to the Library to learn about St. Leo, who was an incredible hero of old who removed all of the demons from the Island in the Age of Dichotomy. Furthermore, St. Leo played some part in the Chaos War and in its ending. Meanwhile, Keyleth and Root remained behind to observe the prayer gathering, which was liturgical yet seemed off in its practice to Keyleth, who was familiar with the rites of Oromë. And Root was invited by Mia, the small child of the village, to visit her the next day for fun and games! And Vexx decided to reach out to his patron, asking it to destroy the village. He was immediately met with excruciating pain and discomfort, revealing that his patron's goals and aspirations are an evil far beyond what Vexx could handle. Laws was helpful in assisting Vexx in their room.Evening Break-in
During the community time, the party decided to break into the temple. Keyleth and Laws remained at the community time (with Keyleth keeping Laws from knowing the party was breaking into the temple). Root noticed something was spying on them, but no tracks were to be found. Eventually, the Magekillers made their way into the vast temple, which was believed to be uninhabited. They were wrong. It was full of machine-like constructs that engaged them in combat. Ended session on the 17th of Palesun at 7:15pm
