Session 20: Friends in shady places

Once Aalik wakes up, the gang decide they need to catch their breath a bit with some good ‘ol breakfast.    

Full Summary

  Once Aalik wakes up, the gang decide they need to catch their breath a bit with some good ‘ol breakfast. Sadly they quickly find out whatever got inside of Aalik is making him eat raw meat and won’t allow any other type of food to enter his body. Justifiably angry, the whole gang travels to the cave where the scavenger colossus dwells in order to ask what was wrong with their friend.   The Colossus explains how Aalik now possesses an object the people who sealed them in the cave dubbed as a colossus relic. These objects are made out of the essence of the colossi themselves and are extremely dangerous in the wrong hands. These relics can only be harvested once every 120 years and so far only two of them have been stolen from the colossus.   Naming Aalik as their champion, they give him the mission to recover the relics and take revenge on all of those who dared to steal from them. Begrudgingly accepting his role in this conflict, Aalik asks the colossi to fill up a vase Kanna gave him with fresh blood. The colossus gladly accepts the request.   With the vase filled with black viscous colossus blood, the group pop into the institute for a bit where Kanna hands them their moonstone replicas as well as three scrolls of scrying in exchange for the vase. The group has no further questions for her so they leave. Tired and looking forward to finally sleeping in their own house, the group goes back to the museum and gets some well earned rest.   After two days they receive a notice from Argos to head to his office, once at the office the group takes notice of the armed security guards stationed at the door. After being led inside the group encounter Argos chatting with a strange nebula genasi woman but before they can say anything one of the guards drops everything and goes to give C a hug referring to her as Luaid through tears in his eyes, the group is assaulted by even more questions once the woman presents herself as Kanna’s sister: Violet Alban.
