MIND FLAYER COLONY
RESTING POOL CHAMBER- Heal up while they can
- Da'ath does a special ceremony dedicating himself to the members of the Black Tear where he destroys the THREE ILLITHID HEADS
- Gael welcomes them all as members of the Alathar (giving them a special healing blessing during battles)
- Attacked by a QUAGGOTH after the ceremonies, which Vrae mercifully puts down, as Bord sensing its anguish and insanity, something shared by all the thralls of the Elder Brain in the colony
- [Retcon] Narinn uses IDENTIFY on Gael's Circlet and learns it is the CIRCLET OF MENTAL ANGUISH
- They make their way through the Colony as the living structure begins to rot and decay, boiling and blistering along the way
- They find a chamber of parasite tadpoles and destroy the ones the find, seeing that left alone they begin to consume one another and grow larger and larger
- They spot a lot of dead thralls and mind flayers half-transformered, all dead due to the psychic backlack from the Elder Brain's death
- They are still suffering from the strange STONE Narinn is carrying making them joyful and upping their physical stats, but reducing mental stats
- They eventually find a room with a dead guard whose lower half appears to have been DRAGGED out of the room by some massive tentacle
- Gael follows the trail, leavingt the rest behind to prepare for the worst
- Gael follows the trail down a winding tunnel into a large below ground hangar, the other end having a large opening another tunnel that ostensibly leads out, to the surface.
- He spots a broken Nautiloid ship, cracked down the middle like a large fist punched right through it
- He looks up and spots a giant tadpole, a Neolethid perched above him, and he runs back to his allies in the last room (Guard Barracks)
- They brainstorm their knowledge and remember the Neolethid as something even the Mindflayers feared, a tadpole run amuck and left alive too long without a host
- They group prepared for a fight, Da'ath laying out 13 javelins and Gorrazar sealing them in place, pointed forward, with his Wand of Viscous Globs
- The MASSIVE tadpole burrows up from underground, and the battle begins, the hideous beast spurting acid at the group and the Black Tear do their best to stun it and take it down
- Gorazzar does manage to stun it for a round, while Da'ath manage to climb atop the beast
- Narinn's gun misfire and he hits Da'ath
- They all deal a good amount of damage, bringing down the beast
- In its death throws, it focuses its hatred and psychic power on Da'ath, the one who kept hitting it with Pyschic energy, and unleashed the FEEBLEMIND spell at him
- Da'ath tries to save, but it hurt by the RESONANCE STONE on Narinn who has moved next to him, giving him DISADVANTAGE on his Mental Checks, and Da'ath fails, losing all his INT and CHAR, and become Feebleminded
- The group desperately tries to figure out what happened to Da'ath, Gorazzar using his medical skills to learn, and the rest using arcane knowledge to hit upon the FEEBLEMIND spell
- They figure they need the GREATER RESTORATION SPELL to fix him, which they do not currently have. (Bord does try using the dispelling stone, but it does not work)
- Narinn does try using the Anti-magic Rod, whcih does work, but no one near Da'ath can use magic, and the rod only works for 10 minutes at a time
- They make their way down to the hangar and break into the Nautiloid bridge, and find the spelljamming helm, a large floating throne looking (wooden) chair, they looks magical and yet delicate
- After much discussion, they decide they're going to teleport to Gimloth first, then make their way to the ship in Llegosert
- First, they decide to long rest in the Nautiloid, with Gorrrazar sealing their entrance with his Wand
- Session ends with them long-resting
- They're about to teleport to GIMLOTH
- When they arrive, it will be when a BREACH is happening at the main gates
- GIMLOTH BREECH
- Joined soon by SAPPHIRE DRAGON Nymmarth - F Ancient Sapphire Dragon , summoned by Da'ath's turmoil (mental) and bringing a Cleric from BOLUDO who can use Greater Restoration on him
- Head Priest/ Cleric - Dronrozh (M) Loxodon - saved from BOLUDO shortly before Cloudscape invaded and captured the city, but not before the X-Cultists attacked the Cathedral to Boldrei and stole the ROD OF RESURRECTION

- T'nin defects to Judai'aruk, having regained his memories, bringing the Vedalken the bottle of LUKAS HELVIIREN, who T'nin overheard speaking about his master, the Djinn Genie Keth. They torture Lukas and get the location of Keth, and they head to EXPA to demand wishes from her, bringing the might of the Cabal alongside them.
- (THIS WILL TAKE SOME TIME)
- At first Judai'aruk wishes for Cthulu to be awoken and freed, but not even Keth has that power. Next, he wishes for all the recombined ORRERY of the WANDERER, which she reluctantly grants him, massively weakening herself in order to save LUKAS's life. The half drow escapes, but not before he sees Judai'aruk kill Keth in her weakened state, having used so much power to gather and reconstitute the remaining pieces of the Orerry.
- Next he sets his sight on the KRAKEN SKULL in front of the YAW SHIP
- Next he finds the mortat remains of DREW SCROLL, intent on raising him from the dead using the ROD OF RESURRECTION stolen by the X-CULTISTS from the Cathedral to Boldrei in BOLUDO, so he can cast the MASS RAISE DEAD spell he created over 100 years ago
