Session 40
General Summary
SESSION BEGINS around 4pm on PAUCID 9th, outside Llegosert in the desert, after the death of Mark Bastardson.
- Vrae's retrainers need to contact her to tell her they were in GIMLOTH 3 days ago and picked up the Dimensional Loop, currently heading back to Eldathir (will argue it is the only safe place they know)
- IF THEY GET LOST, will run into the USHANI Clan Hobgoblin Clans
- TAKES 2-3 HOURS to get back, will GET DARK, have creatures from the FAR REALM crash in the distance ENCOUNTER Desert - FAR REALM Encephalon Cluster & Gemmules
- MARK SHEET (for looting) Mark DND Beyond Sheet
- They "LOOT" Mark Bastardson's body and divvy up some of his magic items and cash - Bord takes NEEDLE for Mark's Coiling Grasp Tattoo
- They then put Mark's body in the Bag of Holding for travel purposes
- Decide to follow Bord's directions and he leads them the opposite direction Northeast (AWAY from Llegosert) due to NAT 1 on Survival Check
- Bord first takes on his "THE CROW" persona, not handling all the deaths very well. He has also decided to change his name to BORED.
- Vrae's retainers (Phillipe) contact her and confirm they have picked up the Dimensional Loop from Gimloth and are taking it to Eldathir, where they think it will be the most safe. She warns them to keep it SECRET and safe.
- Lost, they decide to take a long rest
- In the night, Vrae spots a shooting star on her watch, but notices it seems to leave the sky and crash somewhere in the nearby desert (she cannot see in the pitchblack beyond the camplight, so cannot say for certain)
- Bord has an "emo" watch (all his songs are very dark now)
- In the night, the party is visited by a Hoboglin from the Ushani clan (having wandered into the lower reaches of their lands), claiming to be an emissary of Adwin, their leader. They are searching for Mak'Ti, knowing he was part of this group. The Ushani need their "eye" back as he reports war has broken out amongst the Genasi Kingdoms, with Surfton attacking Cloudscape. Da'ath sends him away, telling him Mak'Ti is dead, and claiming the Hobgoblin has little use to the party (they figure Da'ath might be lashing out in grief over Mak'Ti) - the Hobgoblin leaves to bring news back to the Ushani.
- In the morning, set out once again with a bad Survival Check walking in the wrong direction
- Eventually come across a small creature (Encephalon Gemmule) that Da'ath recognizes as a small aberration out of the Far Realm.
- Vrae realizes they walked in the direction of the "shooting star" from the night beforehand, theyb figure it was likely the creature falling from the sky
- They eventually realize there are at least a half dozen of the small creatures that are now jumping up, attaching to their necks, and sucking out their life force (HP), as well as a large Cluster of the creatures, looking like a mound of transparent, slimy eggs containing even more of the creatures (Encephalon Cluster)
- Tough battle, little creatures hit hard (luckily "fate" rolled terribly during the battle, givng the party some luck)
- In the midst of the battle, a Wood Elf Druid/ Barbarian named Belgar Owlheart (Cody's new character) reveals himself, described as somewhat tall, and very handsome. He jumps into the Fray to help the party
- Together they defeat the creatures, though everyone took a lot of hits
- Formal introduction to Belgar, Vrae is attracted to the handsome elf, Da'ath is very jealous and a little sad
- Belgar tells them Queen Valhana of Lithserin was keeping an eye on the Necromansion and knew they had been there recently, and felt a strong disturbance in th forest. She then sent Belgar to suss out their intentions and find out if friend or foe.
- Belgar is told much of the group's story, decides to join for now
- Narinn says "Belgar is now the squid" (of the group), which is what T'nin(?) had told him when he joined.
- Belgar easily leads them back to Llegosert due to his Druid skills.
- Remind themselves that Airship is gone, but Bord (Bored?) still has the TCS Tablets
- Bord takes a lot of Rogue Dust, currently has an addiction counter
- They speak to Venah and Sayana (head Eladrin desert elves) and collect 1200GP for the scorpion people heads
- Collect another 100 GP for telling Venah and Sayana about the Kuniculai issue on Oroccid
- They all meet just outside Llegosert (west of town) with Da'ath, who is burying Mark's remains in a shallow grave. They have a funeral for him, all speaking what they can about his life. His body is placed into the ground with his stiff hands wrapped around "Serpent Cum" (i.e. Boromir in LOTR)
- All are sad about all of the recent deaths, head back to the Electric Elf Bar and Inn for drinks and prepare for the night
- Drink, toast, and eat to their lost comrades and new ally
- NOTE - Bord has one ROGUE DUST Addiction Counter
