C2 Session 16
General Summary
They all wake up after a good night’s sleep in the platinum church to prepare for the heist
Daemon interjects their preparation with his plan to sneak them in to the castle in a cart
He shows them a detailed map of the castle, and says he can get them in, but not out
Says queen is under 24/7 guard, and work six hour shifts
The only entrances by foot are at the bottom floor of the castle, and the third floor is accessible by air if they were to somehow figure out how to fly
Guards on every floor
The group spends a long while planning, and daemon interrupts to point out a flaw in theri plan, so they spend some more time planning.
Daemon says that the queen’s right hand is still in the castle even though the queen has been relocated
He says that Reimun was appointed shortly after the queen was
There was a large storm approaching Xiria that would surely cause mass destruction
Reimun stopped it by himself, and it is rumoured that he turned the water around
Henry is aware of spells that can manipulate water, but he knows of nothing possible in the world that could wield such power to manipulate an ocean
He knows of only one wizard, one that had power over all the elements, that could do something of such a caliber
They finish planning and enter the cart, with Daemon entering the front
They travel for fifteen minutes before stopping, where Koin and Xodon hear guards asking Daemon about the contents of the cart
Xodon hears one speak in thieves cant to take them to the special room and leave it unlocked
They all stay quiet and are carried into the room in their sealed barrels
They wait in silence for a minute before the enchantment on the barrels end and they lift themselves out
They look around and peek out the door before stealthing through the hallway and towards their destination
They reach the entrance of room eight to see two guards playing cards
Xodon sneaks past them slickly, and Henry almost gets caught but the other guard distracts him
Koin sneaks by as well and they continue on to reach the stairs
Xodon opens the door and looks towards the top of it to see a string being pulled
A bell begins ringing, and a wooden arm falls in front of the door and stops it from being opened any further
Henry uses a minor illusion to tell everyone in the area it was a false alarm
Another guard walks up to the other side of the door and begins resetting the trap
He tries the door but Xodon is holding it back
The guard calls the two in the other room for help opening the door
Xodon lets go and the guard opens the door
Koin shoots him with a poison dart but he is unphased by it
He calls for help and the guards start sprinting towards them
Koin runs into the chamber and ignites his sword, slashing and punching one of them and killing him swiftly, then moving to the other guard and slashing him, dealing a lot of damage and punching him right after, also killing him
Xodon stands up and slashes at the guard with zandrien’s blade
Koin sprints over and attacks him, almost killing him, but he dies from the effects of Xodon’s blade
They scramble to hide the body parts before tying them all up in a large blanket
They drag it back into room seven and stuff it in a barrel
They go back into room nine and see that the door to room ten is trapped, so they disarm it
They open it, and see the staircase leading up to the room, and they all stealthily make their way towards room 17
They reach the door to find that it is locked
As Xodon is picking the lock, they hear a voice behind them
Daemon appears and tells them to step aside as he unlocks the door and walks in
Inside, they see a highrise classroom, and written on the chalkboard is very old writing, as if the room has not been visited or taken care of in a long time
Koin looks at the chalkboard, and sees writing that he can’t understand
As Henry walks past, he notices it and spends about ten minutes analyzing it
He sees that it is talking about different planes and doorways to these planes, the notes are talking about the weave splitting and creating a natural doorway to another plane
If what is written is true, hundreds if not thousands of such doors already exist in the world
Henry remembers the magical door that the fairies travelled through in the rivendale tower, and how the door existing was the source of the problem when they arrived
Henry jots down some notes, and they exit the room
As they exit, Xodon hears footsteps coming from the balcony and alerts the group of their presence
Xodon sees a male and female guard walking sneakily towards the classroom, seemingly trying to sneak away to have some fun
They all quickly leave the room and sneak towards room 11
As they reach the room, they hear a full patrol of guards approaching
They move through the hallway in room 11 and into rooms 12 13 and 14, the dining rooms
In one room there are two large portraits, one of queen fariya and one of a black tabaxi with a crown
The title says “king oshran, husband of queen Fariya, father to queen Saran
Xodon puts his ear to the wall and hears the patrol walking away, and he lets the group know the coast is clear
They move back into room 11 and see a cluster of overgrown vines leading up to room 22
Koin takes out his grappling hook and begins climbing up to secure it
He secures it to a spot to allow Henry and Xodon to climb up
They all get to the top of the rope, and are now standing on a thin ledge, but are perfectly safe
They hear voices, and every so often another voice pops up, deeper and gutterall, it's a dragonborn, which concerns Henry
Henry casts fog cloud, confusing the guards who go on alert immediately
Koin sneaks through the smoke and begins walking up the steps to room 26
Two of the guards make their way out of the fog and move towards the door
Xodon does the same
Henry makes his way through the fog and towards room 23, and the guards continue to try and get out of the fog
Koin and Xodon whisper to each other, and Xodon goes back to find Henry
Henry notices a magical lock on the door, which he easily dispels
He opens the door, and as he passes through it, he feels a barrier where everything goes silent for a second, and walks a bit further, and he can hear bubbling of potions and clattering, and he steps into a bedroom
There is a chest, a table with many experiments, and a door that leads to a spiral staircase headed downwards
Henry takes the notes on the table, then opens the chest and sees piles of gold and silver
He notices an unusual lump, and reaches his hand in, feeling leather
He takes out a leather tome under magical illusion, and he dispels it to find a spellbook
He stuffs it into his bag of holding and continues on and down the steps further into Reimun’s home
Koin moves up the stairs and into room 26, spAuding a patrol and dragonborn, to which he releases his dust of sneezing and choking
Everyone but the dragonborn is ailed by the effect
The dragonborn lets out a breath of fire, singing Koin
The fog has faded, and Xodon is faced with his own troop to fight
He moves in and attacks this patrol’s dragonborn, hitting and moving to a tabaxi, which he hits as well
Henry continues moving down the stairs and begins hearing voices
One of a man humming, another of a creature screaming and groaning in pain
It was faint at first when he walked in, but it is loud now as if the whole area is soundproofed
Henry keeps walking and can now see into the chamber, and sees a tabaxi in a lab coat
One of his eyes is black, and the other has a cut down it and is a frosty blue
He has a lot of tools around, many bloodied, and strapped down to a table in a magical circle, is a darkling which he is experimenting on. The circle is the one that darklings used to not explode, and it prevents the darkling from dying due to experiments
Henry tries to cast mage armor on himself, but the man reaches his arm back and the spell fizzles
He extends his arm out and a symbol appears he doesn’t recognize, and a tremor erupts
Henry is pulled towards him and starts to be choked by the man
He raises Henry up and the burning blood of the darkling singes his neck
He asks why Henry is there, Henry says that the power Reimun has does not belong in Aezraghn
The man casts the same spell he just did and throws henry
The man threatens henry, and he says that the man should know why he is here
The man confirms, and rips out the heart of the darkling, and it revives
Henry says he is here for lots of power
He says he is in a good mood, so he will let henry leave, or he will kill him
Henry weighs his options before deciding it is better to leave
He walks out and the environment shifts, and the arcane lock goes back up instantly
Henry meets up with the rest of the group as they finish their combat and says that he got lost in the fog
They walks towards the queen’s chambers and sneak past the sleeping guards
They open the door and a trap goes off, but doesn’t immediately do anything
Above the headboard of the queen’s bed are two live tigers chained up
