06.09.2025 - Scribe-5 - The Lair of the Lady

• We Teleport to Tidebreaker to investigate the missing Queen, after setting up a Telepathic Bond
• We don't notice any interference in the Voicechat, just Sending spells
• The Mountains used to have huge slave armies during the war
• They were pro-magic, and the power it gave, but wielding the magic-users as controlld slaves (like Pot/the queen)
• We arrive in a small room with the teleportation circle
• There's always a lower-ranking wizard there, and 3 guards
• The wizard looks like he doesn't see the sun at all, he's overworked
• He greets us as the Protectors of the Clovers
• He's new at this post
• He'll announce our presence to the King with a Sending spell
• Erin notices that he reacts to something with the spell
• The King will see us in his study at his convinience
• Bucket notices that one of the guards are wearing a similar white hood to the ones we've seen in Hugo-Sha
• Like the fake-Shrouded
• We head to the Rockwater estate, which was the last known location of the Queen (Where we teleported her)
• Scribes will look around with Etherealness, while Coty and Sylword, with the rest of the party, visits as Nobles of Tritonia
• Scribes takes a step forward and disappears, getting a headstart as the others are on their way
• She arrives at the Rockwater estate. It has tall walls with workers carving large symbols into them
• The gate has been removed
• The people within the mansion are wearing less fancy clothes than elsewhere in the city
• There are many people here with the fake-shouded hoods
• There's an organized hospital field, with injured being taken care of
• The courtyard is covered by herb gardens, tended by the hooded figures, wearing robes
• The party arrives
• They notice that the wall symbols being carved are of a Tree and a Moon
• Sylword recognizes them from the island where we found Erivale
• It was on a tree that we used to teleport to the continent
• The tree has a lot of disks with souls in them, praying
• The Moon was carved on people's faces in the hold of the ship at the start of the campaign
• The mansion has been transformed from a scary place to an open and peaceful place
• The gate gate captain approaches them
• She looks well-armoured and capable, with a lot of authority
• She has a large symbol of the moon on her breastplate, while her soldiers only have a small one
• Coty introduces herself: "I am Noble Coty. I am on official business. Lead me to the leader of this establishment!"
• Coty shows her ring to prove her identity "You've definitely heard of me"
• "Her kind ladyship is sadly not in the residence" She's most likely in Tidebreaker
• Seraphine Calveira, could receive them if they wish. She is the stewardess of The Lady's estate
• They're led to the mansion, with another guard trailing them
• The mansion has been plastered white, and the layout has been changed
• One of thewings have been turned into a fancy hospital
• There's a continuous flow of people going through the side doors
• The Stewardess meets them
• She is wearing priest robes with the moon symbol, and seems slightly stressed, but mostly calm
• "Welcome to the Hall of Quiet Mercy"
• Scribes is looking through the teleportation circle room
• She memorises the circle
• There are a lot of guards in this room
• The teleportation circle has been tampered with, with the remnants of a Glyph of Warding, that would trigger if something happened
• Will have to look at it in the material plane to determine what it did
• One of the hooded figures here are standing near the entrance completely still
• They have a carving in their forehead of the moon
• It gives her an itchy feeling between her shoulder blades, as if she's being watched
• Erin asks when the Rockwater estate became a hospital used by followers of The Lady
• It was donated by King Gillian Clover as a reward for her services
• The Rockwaters were evicted
• She asks if we can look around, since we're investigate the Rockwaters
• Two hospital acolytes will guide them around, they both have their hoods up
• Certain areas are off-limit, so they should stay on this floor
• They head in a random direction
• There's activity all over the place, and stairs down to a basement
• There's no living areas on this floor
• Scribes investigates the lower floors, looking for a dungeon or something similar
• The room she enters first seems to be a completely empty room, previously a storage room
• It is the only room adjacent to the teleportation circle, that's not connected to the rest of the lower floors
• On the other side of the teleportation circle room is more normal rooms
• There are only people in robes and hoods here
• There's minimal, if any, traffic between the basement and the upper floors
• The material plane party investigate the ground floor
• The kitchen is pristine and organized, despite the high activity
• Sylword scrys on Pot, and sees her in pristine white robes
• She is sitting down in a relatively comfortable, but spartan, 5x5m room
• She's sitting completely still, with the moon symbol carved into her forehead
• He get's the feeling that someone's watching him
• Other robed, still people are also sitting in the room, all of them with the moon carving on their foreheads
• There's another figure right beside her, in white robes. They look straight at him, and he get's pushed out of the vision
• The figure's face is concealed by the hood
• It's a woman, with a shaved head and a moon carved into her forehead
• Bucket knows that the Moon is the symbol of The Lady from Connla's Well
• The Lady is considered both a noble and a priestess, and is worshipped like a god (And not like the representative of a god)
• A servant is bringing a bundled and boxed portion of food out of the kitchen, instead of on a platter like the others
• He disappears around a corner on the first floor
• The guards are paying attention to the party as he does so
• As Erin tries to follow, the guard/acolyte stops her and asks if she needs help
• He'll have someone look for the "thing she lost"
• Erin claims she dropped a golden leaf from Bucket
• Another acolyte goes around the corner to look for it, they don't let Erin search for it herself
• Sylword casts Sending to let Scribes know about the suspicious food servant
• The description of what the servant was holding is missing from the message Scribes receives
• Her response is muddled by static, as a physical black feather lands at Sylword's feet, and dissolves
• Scribes sees a servant going down the stairs
• He gos up to one of the acolytes and tells them "Nourishment for the dawn raven"
• He touches fingers with the caption, who bows and lets them into the teleportation circle room
• The servant goes into the empty storage room
• He kneels down and starts praying (Scribes memorises the prayer)
• The floor begins glowing with a radiant, calming glow. It has an undercurrent of purple tainting the light
• The servant slowly sinks into the ground and disappears
• Quite far below the storage room is another room
• It is a room with an old lady, and several others. All have their foreheads carved with a moon
• "Ah Pot, it is time for your dinner"
• Four still white hooded people slowly turn towards Scribes

Plan

• Survive the encounter with the robed figures
• Alert the party! (Sending)
• Dimension door them here?
• Save Pot/The Queen
• Talk to the King when he has time for us

• Copy the elevator design for the hidden Pot room for Veilhearth
• Investigate the Glyph of Warding on the teleportation circle in the Rockwater estate
• Has to be investigated from the material plane, but there's lots of guards, and a diviner?
• We have to figure out if the sacrifices are permanent, or will go away
• Coty must protect the white dragon egg (it likes cold)
• Get the sibling dwarves home
• Get the two souls back to their bodies
• Coty might want to figure out how to deal with her two pokemon parents
• Sylword can cast Locate Object on the knife that was left on the other side of the Lorladon portal
• Scribes want's to save the last familiar
• We should turn Custodian Auren over to the Path of Hill, claiming that we held him while we investigated his crime of impersonating the Emperor
• Or whatever the party agrees to do

• Learn the new spells: Aquired but unlearned spells
