C2 Session 8
General Summary
They make their way through the city which takes roughly an hour to do
[[Vaz]] knocks on [[Tek]]’s door and speaks in the native yuan-ti tongue
Tek opens the door and welcomes them all in, looking at Vaz as if he is not enthused to see him
Tek and Vaz begin speaking in their native tongue before saying they can have the belongings of an aarakocra that died about a week ago
Koin makes a gesture towards their rings, and Tek apologizes before the rings snap off of their fingers
They all huddle and chat about plans for the rest of the day
Vaz and Tek talk about the group, Vaz in a tone favoring them and Tek not so much
A half human half snake man walks in the room and says something to the guard
Tek says that he has matters to attend to and that they can show themselves out
They leave the room and Tek locks the door
Tek, Vaz, and three other guards rush off quickly
Immediately after, [[Xodon]] tries the mystery key on the door, but to no avail
He can’t tell if it’s due to the failure of the key or if the door has special properties
They leave the door alone and begin walking to leave the [[Black Suns]]’ city
A lot of the people are looking at them a bit weird
[[Koin]] opens the bag from the dead aarakocra, finding a couple items
There is a very intricate waterskin type thing, transparent but not glass
A pair of goggles
And a jar with something with a type of aloe vera scent in it
Koin’s claw snags a secret pocket opening while removing his hand from the bag
Inside there is a letter with the mark of the [[Heirloom Order]] on it
The letter is telling the recipient [[Dowaqu]] to infiltrate the suns and destroy the ruby to let the suns fall
The letter is dated from about a week ago, when the aarakocra spy died, and is signed by [[Beeratoli]], the Heirloom Order’s grand sage as his last words
Captain Ildrae is a captain of the [[Dragol Armada]] and specializes in water based attacks
The Fleet Captain, [[Harold Waydrane]], left Ildrae somewhere in the middle-eastern part of the ocean, which is near [[Thera]]
It seems that [[Einhor]] is planning an attack on the black suns and is expecting the help of the armada, but there are no visible ships in a 100 mile radius of the coast
Beeratoli was supposedly alive and sane 3 days ago examining Earnhardt’s finds when the group entered the order with [[Rafwar]], but letter is from a week ago as his last sane words
Koin wants no say in the matter of war, but Xodon surprisingly informs Vaz and Tek of the [[Silver Masks]] and their plans to drive the Dragol armada out of [[Aezraghn]]
With this new information, they decide that they definitely need to figure out how to accomplish that goal
They talk and strategize more but can’t make a decision
They investigate the other items in the bag and find that the goggles allow the wearer to gain darkvision, and the waterskin is a container of infinite water
They trace the steps of Tek and Vaz and the path points towards The Fold, the suns' prison
They make their way to the fold, and upon arrival they see a dozen or so yuan ti staring at all of the cells, which are all open
There are bodies and blood scattered along the floor
They walk up to Vaz and he says that there were some escaped prisoners, but one of them they were specifically worried about
Looking in its cell, there are a lot of chains, and a lot of broken chains and shackles
Says it was [[Razni]], the son of their boss, and that Raska, the third general, is with Razni on a campaign to kill his father
They know that he is headed towards a pyramid where their boss is and a place where they used to do experiments
Vaz and Tek then have a short argument about how to prepare for war
Henry proposes to Tek that they take the ruby and use it to kill Razni
Tek accepts the deal and they leave
A yuan ti guard gives them the directions and description of the pyramid
They leave while the yuan ti people begin coating everything with oil to keep people out and themselves in
They make their way out of the underground and head towards the pyramid
Arriving, there are four entryways at the bottom, four more half way up, and another four at the top, totalling three entryways on each side
As they enter, there is a large chamber going forward about 60 feet, and can see the northern hallway from their spot at the southern hallway
There are miniature hallways off of the main hallway
Floor is filled with dried blood and written in blood on the walls are the words: "Even in matching, enter the belly of the beast. The blood of Three is unlucky and the Blood of me is deep"
To the north are the numbers 3 on the left and 4 on the right, behind them 2 on the left and 5 on the right, and behind them 1 on the left and 6 on the right
The numbers are written on yuan ti corpses hung from the ceiling
In the middle where are the hallways connect, there is a deep red obelisk with a circle 10 feet in diameter surrounding it
They walk over to two doors and open one of them
A pile of limbs fly out, same for the other door
Koin and Xodon try to see if any of the corpses have blood left, but none of the ones they check do
Koin tries to climb one of the hanging corpses to cut it down from the chain
His claw rips the stomach and a bit of blood comes out
They walk west and into a room, the door now locking Koin and Xodon in and Henry out
A spout in the ceiling begins pouring deep red blood into the room
Henry panics and struggles on what to do before running into the only room they haven’t entered, finding a lever which he pulls, draining the blood and letting Koin and Xodon out
Koin rinses himself off with some water and goes back into the room with Xodon, but nothing happens
They struggle with the riddle for a bit before ripping open the stomach of the corpses with number 2 and 4, finding vials of blood in each
They pour one of the vials on the obelisk, and the platform they were standing on began to rise
They pour the second vial and it elevates them to the next floor
Henry casts ray of frost at the door, cooling it down slightly but it just heats back up
The door is continuously heated, and is currently almost white hot
The floor underneath them is also getting increasingly hotter
They decide to walk down the diagonal hallways splitting off from the main room
They walk down one of the hallways into a near identical room with another door, except the door is very cold and the floor is getting colder
Koin rips the door open and only takes a bit of frost damage, and they all run through
There are more stairs leading up to the final level of the pyramid
They walk up the stairs to see a snake man wrapped in bandages, holding a sword and sitting in a chair, his reptilian body leaking out of the chair
There is a snake woman beside him, assumed to be Raska
Razni slithers closer to them and asks why are there
They say that they want to help him take down his dad
He says “[[Masla]] will fall”
They propose that in exchange for killing Masla, he must fake his death
Raska whispers in his ear, he says they have now lied to them twice
They debate that they would rather work with him and compromise rather than kill him
He slithers a bit closer, saying that he is not stupid
He looks over them, says that they do not believe in the words that they are saying
In fact, he can see that they would rather kill his father and then him
He rises up, says that now that they have seen who he is, they act like he will give them forgiveness
Xodon disputes his claim
Raska says that they are the ones who rescued Vaz
The group want to kill Masla
Razni says only thing standing between him and godhood is his father
Says to aid him or die
They make a decision to fight him
His eyes glow red for a second, he says they have decided, and they all prepare for battle and throws a fireball at them
Koin runs up to Razni and disarms him of his blade
Xodon quickly engages with Raska
Henry Prepares himself for battle
With Xodon in from of her Raska looks at koin and puts him under a spell, then her eyes glow
Koin sees an illusion of Sun in front of him causing Koin to walk back in fear, he then throws the sword
Raska on her last legs uses a spell to give Razni his sword
Razni retreats and the group focuses Raska
Raska uses her last bit of strength to cast a spell putting the characters into the void.
Razni comes to Raska and gives her a magical shield around her body
Koin comes out and vigorously tries to break this shield in a last attempt uses a smite to carve her in half
The group Razni and grievous wounds him.
Razni teleports and Knocks Henry unconscious with a Firebolt.
Xodon and Koin run to him after reviving Henry
Razni teleports back to Henry and uses his flaming sword to Cut down Henry, delivering a Final blow that nearly puts Henry down for good.
Xodon runs and begins to tear apart Razni but leaves him Just barely standing
Koin has to decide between saving his friend or killing Razni, HE chooses to save Henry
Razni looks at them and Laughs and begins to cast a spell
5 rings of magic are seen and he's struggling to create a 6th, then he pushes himself further wounding him and cast 6th level fireball
This knocks everyone but Xodon and Razni unconscious
Xodon has a Flashback and Becomes enraged then Finishes Razni off in his anger
Blue energy leaks from around xodon, reviving his friends
After a long and arduous battle, they successfully eliminated both Raska and Razni
