Chronicles of the Realm Walkers: Session 20

The Realm Walkers descended into the Underdark. Following the hand drawn map given to them by Brynn they found the first turn that Brynn had told them led to where Visser and the Werefolk tended to camp. The party approached the large platform the stone path led to. There they saw Midnight, a Werepanther with many greys and his camp. Midnight addressed them briefly, telling them to have fun with Visser's Toy. As the party tried to reason with him the scene before them seamlessly disappeared as all four were struck with visions of their death by lightning. Two streaks of lightning shot through the illusion. The party fought the construct, eventually paralyzing it and sent it tumbling into the darkness below. During combat Theren fell off the path after its was destroyed but saved themselves with etherealness. Pip also freed Jordy, the Werefolk Rhy had charmed. After the fight he explained he'd lost his pack do to revealing secrets and siding with the presumed enemy. He described Midnight as paranoid, a person who would assume the party was dead but would also leave traps for them. Jordy, after being sent across the gap, decided to go see Goysh and potentially join his pack. Lee cast sending to Goysh to let him know the situation. Goysh let Lee know Daryl was very upset about the cards being gone, and he would ask about Jordy and would be waiting for him.   The party then investigated the camp finding two arcanotech devices that replicated the effects of programmed illusion spell, the devices that had played out the illusion on their arrival. Using one to focus Ranrus scry'd on Midnight and found him in a cave working on a spherical device not unlike the test Ogden had given Ranrus. He was working in front a of strange box with many shelves that had been folded out. Each shelf had other small metal parts but it was unclear if they were part of the whole or if they were stored there. The party had a long discussion thinking on the list of names Lee had seen and he and Rhy deduced that the letters beside each line were initials, initials of those that approved the preceding to travel the through way.   The party further discussed whether or not to keep following Midnight or to go to Kemmera. Ranrus was still worried Midnight was headed to Ithasia, a worry that was supported by Jordy's expectation the pack was headed to Ithasia with or without Visser. They weighed their options and decide that finding and determining the potential danger of Midnight was the higher priority. Ranrus determined the cart the Werefolk were traveling with was leaving a noticeable path and, as long as there wasn't anything too dense near a split in the path, following the trail should be possible, as what ever was in the cart was quite heavy.   Date: 1st of Sithala, 1437 DC
