Session 4

• After the Arena Fight, Lykalada'ath is approached by a very fat, unusual looking Kri-Threen outside the arena

(Telepathically) Excuse me sir, are you a Githyanki?

• He then says telepathically -

"You should leave your friends behind and come with me immediately. Leave your weapons behind as well,"

• casting the SUGGESTING SPELL Suggestion (WIS SAVE DC 13)
• Whether he goes or not, the creature is a Psurlon, ally of Mindflayers, who felt the surge of Psionic power when Lykalada'ath brought the Fool's Sapphire near the bracer. The Mindflayers are intrigued by both the Githyanki who they felt connected to their time jump, and by the Ancient Sapphire Dragon, knowing a few dragons have declared Mindflayers as mortal enemies and not wanting them on Terus when Cthulhu rises. (NOTE The Psurlon only knows the Mindflayers want the Githyanki and the Dragon)
• Psurlon CR 2
• Psurlon Leader CR 6
• Likely, he will drop his Disguise Self spell, revealing his true appearance, which Lykalada'ath WILL RECOGNIZE
• All told, there are 6 Psurlon in Twin Falls on this mission, with a Psurlon Leader being the 7th, all bent on finding and capturing the Githyanki and the Sapphire Dragon. At the moment they are all near
• The Psurlon will chase the Party, likely eventually cornering them.
• Nythramm will join the party to help them (remember, she can spider-walk and tunnel!) - she does not want to use Psionic powers for fear of giving herself away to the enemy
• She is wielding a Greataxe and wearing the Gauntlets of Flaming Fury from her shop (lights the axe on fire and deals extra 1d6 fire damage on attacks)
• Ancient-sapphire-dragon CR 22
• Gauntlets-of-flaming-fury

• "Couple of these worms busted into my shop, demanding to know if anyone had come in recently to ask about my expertise in regards to a certain 'sapphire bracer.' Unfortunately for them I was tweaking my Flaming Fury Gauntlet here and they got more than they bargain for! I got away and figured they'd be looking for you, hoped I could find you first and warn you."

• Nythramm helps them drive off one wave, and tells them to all hold hands "QUICKLY"
• She teleports them to the teleportation circle in BRIGHTSHELL HARBOR (has 2 Healing Potions if they ask for them)

• "I'd stay out of Twin Falls for a little while if I were you. Maybe pretend to be a lizardfolk, or a Water Genasi or something. They're looking for a Githyanki, and you're the only one I've seen on Oroccid in a very long time."

• In a hurry, must speak with a friend at the Garrison about what is happening (going to talk to the hidden Dragon there)
