Session 15: Meet the Canolies

Naved talk with Teel. The two don’t see eye to eye, or do they? It's kind of hard to parse and they don't seem to know entirely either. Alkaline makes Triandra breakfast (after Florian burns the first meal) and Alkaline confides in Triandra about her wanting to join some dreaming fun. The party then heads over to Tony where they pick up an outdated floorplan and a vial of oil of etherealness. The party discuss how to go about using the oil and decide to head over to the soulforge to scout it out.   While outside the soulforge Naved wants to try to the entrance while Alkaline thinks oiling up is the key. Naved tries the entrance and the sigil activates sending them to the ethereal plane. The Warden speaks to Naved guiding them to the research quarter where they tell Naved to inject a needle full of pneumatic essence. Naved is "sus", but goes along with the plan. Afterwards the warden leads Naved to the Storage room where they find an old elevator. The Warden reveals the passcode M79, and the elevator takes Naved to the engine room where the warden tells them to watch out for a Gityanki named Grand Executioner Thorne and tells Naved to stop the engine. Naved makes contact with the group and stops the engine.   The group notices the forcefield dissipating and the wall descend. They head inside. Alkaline and Triandra start digging through the archives while Teel and Florian try to find Rakish. Alkaline and Triandra make pace and find some interesting audio recordings for later. Teel and Florian bust open cell door after cell door but struggle to find Rakish. Naved join up and start to help. Alkaline and Triandra head to the lab but before Alkaline reaches it Florian calls for Alkaline to help find Rakish. Alkaline is torn between finding the secrets of her pneumatic manipulator and helping her friends. She decides to help with Rakish while Triandra head inside the lab. Inside the lab she is confronted with a githyanki who starts to slowly chase her outside. Alkaline, Teel, Florian and Naved desperately bust open cell doors to find a limp but alive Rakish. Naved notices that Triandra is being chased and the rest of the party heads towards the entrance. Alkaline pneumatically tethers the githyanki to the ground and they are stuck. The gith then makes some movement with their hands sending a shockwave through the souls of the party doing "something?!". The party leaves the premisses.
