  • She told us that some books related to Rezlin Kine had been stolen and we should speak with Martin Foss and Aya

2017-03-07

We are currently in Freeport

• Got back to the Wizards Library and Pope confronted the Kazra with the note
  
  • Kazra examined the ink and said more must be going on than a thief. Suggested there was a "rat"
  • Dunowhere immediatly accused Kazra scaring the shit out of her, poop was literally smelt
  • Kazra lead us to Master Opanrael (head curator, head sage at the library, hooked nose, small frame)
    • During the walk a lot of time was spent trying to guage Kazra's intentions
  • Met with Master Opanrael and presented him with the note
    • He asked if we were the men hired to find the missing books before telling us anything about the note
      
      • Eventually said he was also suspisous because of the ink being used on the note and the people missing
      • The ink is only used in the library but any librarian or scribe would have access, no inventory kept
      • Informed us staff members have gone missing from the library
      • He gave us two names of employees who had not shown up Garda Greenleaf (female, flawless attendance) and Ellison Berenger (male, been with them only 3 months, been reliable until today)
      • Was unable to provide us information on where they live
      • Suggested we go to the Archives for information about Ellison Berenger, not able to provide us much more information other than to look around
        • Pope was unable to tell Master Opanrael intentions or sincerity
      • We provide him an update on what we had found out about the missing books so far, one was about Rezlin Kine and the other was stolen by someone who can break magic seals
        • We followed Kazra out of the room because she believed she had a lead. We headed to the acrhives to examine where similar books to those that were stolen reside
• Taken to the Wizards Library's archives
  • We come across a dead female
  • Kazar tentativly identified Garda Greenleaf as the deceased
  • Pope examined the body to determine cause of death and determined she died from a single blow to the head, blunt force with in a few minutes ago
    • Had keys to the Wizards Library archives which are only trusted to high ranking people, they are missing now
  • Terry asked if Garda Greenleaf and Ellison Berenger were friends, only co-workers
  • There were two small red covered books on the floor by her body. They were about Rezlin Kine. On the shelf were more.
    • The Rezlin Kine (one was closed, one was open), also found the white magic book
    • Terry examined the books and large sections of the book were missing. It appeared to have happened recently
    • FiZi found a trail for the assailant and as we started tracking there was a loud noise and an earth quake like shaking and bookshelves started tumbling
      • Kazar was injured, Pope healed her and she told us she would go talk to Master Opanrael and we should go after the source of what just happened
  • We follow the bookshelves to the source
    • We find a huge hole in a far wall, chared bones on the ground, the books are all OK
    • FiZi stealths into the cave/hole a head of the group
    • FiZi spys three figures wandering aimlessley, they appear to be ghosts (3), semi-corporeal. FiZi then heads back to the group to inform them of what he found
    • We handily dispatch the ghosts after which Dunowhere bathes in their ectoplasm. Snowrunner was a total bitch.
    • We search the room and then examine the hole blown in the far wall
    • In the next room we find a second hole and the remenants of a horn and a treasure chest
    • Terry checks the horn for magic and detects a sigal of a Wizard named Denlor who once lived in Freeport. Terry casts identify on the horn (see below info block) and then gathers up the pieces

      You can use an action to speak the horn's Command Word and then blow the horn, which emits a thunderous blast in a 30-foot cone that is audible 600 feet away. Each creature in the cone must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 5d6 thunder damage and is Deafened for 1 minute. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage and isn't Deafened. Creatures and Objects made of glass or Crystal have disadvantage on the saving throw and take 10d6 thunder damage instead of 5d6. Each use of the horn's magic has a 20 percent chance of causing the horn to explode. The explosion deals 10d6 fire damage to the blower and destroys the horn.

    • Terry detects magic on the treasure chest and detects a faint aura from within.
    • Pope runs in and opens the chest (was already unlocked)

      • There is a tiny needle sticking out from the lock with a little blood on it (someone sprung a trap)

      • There are multiple compartments inside like a tackle box but Pope also finds a secret compartment. Inside is a headband made of polished bone with the same sigal on it as the outside of the chest. There is also a Healing Potion.
      • Terry identifies the head band and it is:

        Headband of Intellect
        Requires Attunement
        Your Intelligence score is 19 while you wear this headband. It has no effect on you if your Intelligence is already 19 or higher without it.

        • There is some debate about this Headband of Intellect. Who gets it and whether there is a huge downside to it that we can't determine at this time. We (Terry/FiZi) decide it's to good to be true and then Pope decides to put it on anyway and on our next short rest we'll find out if he turns into a potatoe or god.
    • We head on into the far end of this room and end up in a sewer which leads us into a huge culvert/spillway with a large pool in the center. Stairs out. We also see two undulating(?) figures at the far end next to a burnt section of the floor ("blackend and charred as if by intense flame")
      • The two figures are Carrion Crawlers
      • The group tries to be all stealthily move up on them and fails. We engage and maginally the Carrion Crawlers but not before Pope and Snowrunner get tentacle raped and downed
      • Next to the Carrion Crawlers and find a backpack with a note in it

Session ends on discovering the note.

2017-03-21

We are currently in Freeport

• We're exploring the sewers at the moment.
• We murdered some Carrion Crawlers and found a backpack with notes in it next to a scortched area (which had a Carrion corpose in the center of it)
• We split up the loot and dig through the notes
  • One is a fireball scroll, already spent
  • One is a list of book titles, most have been striken through and two have checkmarks
    • The two checkmarks are the books we've been asked to find
  • One is a map of Freeport and it's surroundings
    • Details a location to the east labelled Rythnax
  • Unsigned note that reads

    ""Ellison, Once you have secured what you can to aid us in our search, meet with Rythnax in the marsh east of the city, along the Phlan Path. Slay any that discover your work. Do not fail us again."

• We contiune down the tunnel and end up outside near the ocean
• We travel a short way and mak camp for the night
  • Our rest is interrupted by 4 bandits

    Dressed in the churches army armour, wearing arm bands but we couldn't tell the colour or if there were any symbols on them

    • We killed two, the other two ran off, Dunowhere hit himself really hard in the foot and then grappled his dick instead of one of the bandits
• We contiune on and make it to a swamp
  
  • There is a man by a camp fire with what appears to be a small dragon at it's feet. The man is injured.
  • The dragon screams something out in Draconic
    • Peck relays to us via images via Terry "FEAR"
  • We think this is the guy from the sewar (Ellison)

    • We identify the dragon as Rythnax

      • First attack Rythnax makes knocks Pope face down in the mud
      • Two Lizardmen burst out of a cave behind Rythnax and attack as well
      • Second attack Rythnax makes kills Pope. Added bonus he friendly fired and killed a Lizardman
      • FiZi heals Pope and gets him back up
      • FiZi is attacked by BEEEEEEEEEEES out of no where
      • FiZi kills the other Lizardman

      • Rythnax jumps out of the darkness and attacks Terry, critical fails and falls over
      • Rythnax summons the BEEEEEEEEEEES and kills Dunowhere but Dunowhere can't be taken down, rolls a 20 and gets right the fuck back up like a man (IE: not Pope)

      • Pope, against all odds, kills Rythnax
      • Dragon fucking ensues
  • We head over to Ellison to ask him some questions
    • He seems greatful we saved him
    • Says the Red Hand owns him and once they own you you don't have any choice
    • "The Red Hand is the forces that brew. It is an army, a legion, lead by the beasts and their leaders" in Felora's Wake
      • They are getting ready to attack because the gods are weak right now. (The gods didn't come when they were supposed to)
      • Red Hand tasked Ellison with gathering information to find out why the Mothers are missing
      • He says his task was completed by collecting the pages that Rythnax had
      • Page from Rezlin Kine Book
        
        
      • Page from White Magic Book
        
      • Terry informs us that he has also been looking for the stones of transmutation mentioned in these pages. He and a colleage studied them in school and his collegae left to find what he could and went missing.
        • Terry thinks some kind of wizard or powerful being is harnessing life from creatures and transmuting their enregy into something else which may be related to the gods not changing
• Dunowhere inspected Rythnax's cock and sketched it... in french. Classy.

      Be wary of who you trust. The city may appear to have achieved order, but it is still in disarray.
      
      Word has it the Child of Light, Orian, will soon take Stowan's place. My contacts tell me that Stowan has fallen ill. Some say he was poisoned by revolutionaries. I'm not so sure.

      • Retard takes the direct method and confronts Keylie with her decision to want to marry Marcus

          "Doolb fo a nerw, evmon fo a gerptnan restnep, htob epslat fo a luosmoolb wolfre… I nacton mees ot worg eht luosmoolb. Lliw a busitsetut useciff? I tsum evah eht gnir aeryd rof Ramsuc eberof eht dewgnid eceromyn ebsnig. Rofvere ym evol..."

          Blood of a wren, venom of pregnant serpent, both petals of a soulbloom flower... I cannot seem to grow the soulbloom. Will a substitute suffice? I mush have the ring ready for Marcus before the wedding ceremony begins. Forever my love...

        • We find this diagram:
          
          We **think** this might mean Lillian is trying to take over the body of brides and that's causing them to die

2017-06-27 - Seven Weddings

We are in Lillian's house

• Time to do some interrogating
  • Retard handles the interrogation by stripping the hobgoblin naked
  • He works for the Red Claw
  • Retard whips it out, pees on the hobgoblin who immediately kills himself via a magic cyanide pill
  • The best minds among us try to figure out what is going on, best guess is the Red Claw is trying to amass an army and use the magic Lillian was developing
    • We remember we're looking for Soulbloom Flower and we have Lillian's rings
  • The party takes a short rest
• We head off to the mausoleum to commune with Lillian... hopefully
  • We hear weeping coming from the mausoleum
  • Retard enters and attempts to communicate with Lillian
  • Lillian responds asking for her Marcus
  • Retard asks how she dies, she isn't interested in talking
  • We ask if she's killing the brides, she doesn't want to talk about them
  • Retard asks about Soulbloom and the plant life in the mausoleum twitch and grow slightly
  • We determine the vines are Soulbloom
  • FiZi collects some Soulboom while Retard and Terry speak with Lillian
  • We ask Lillian why she's pissed, she says it's because Marcus left her here to die
  • Terry tells Lillian by telling her we'll help her finish the ritual started
    • She seems to go for it, we need to go get Marcus
    • Retard asks what will happen at the conclusion of the ritual, she reaches out and touches Terry
      • Lillian transfers all of the knowledge of her ritual into Terry
  • Terry grabs the rings and some Soulbloom and heads to Lillians lab, FiZi goes with him
  • Retard and Snowrunner head back to town to get Marcus
• Terry and FiZi have an uneventful trip to the lab
• Retard and Snowrunner find the door open to the prison seemingly waiting for them
  • Seems the guards got smacked around and Marcus + Bride 3304 are missing
    • Ronald assisted them in their escape
  • Retard finds out where Marcus would go to elope and Snow and him head off
  • Retard sends a villager to fetch FiZi and Terry
  • Retard and Snowrunner get to the wedding and Retard interrupts them best he can
  • Snowrunner explains the situation to Marcus, Marcus doesn't believe him
  • Retard appeals to the logic of the priest, Ronald
• Smash cut to Lillians place
  • The villager enters, delivers Retards message to FiZi
  • Terry just then completes his ritual
  • FiZi pays the villager, picks up Terry and they haul ass to meet up with Retard
• Retard is tricked(?) into getting Keylie to say "I do", she drops dead
• The body of Keylie starts to tremble and a specter of some kind emerges from her body
• <FINAL FANTASY FIGHT MUSIC GO>
  • Retard hits Keylie 
  • Snow hits Keylie 
  • Keylie starts making out with Retard and literally sucking the life out of him
  • Second specter emerges, attacks Snowrunner, hits and start making out with him sucking the life out of him
  • Suddenly from the bushes, Terry and FiZi emergy
  • FiZi uses his moment to fling Terry who casts Chromatic Orb mid-air, the Ord smacks into the specter latched on to Retard
  • The specter latched on to Retard loses her grip
  • FiZi fires at the specter attacking Snowrunner, critical misses but avoids any consequences
  • Retard attacks the specter latched on to Snowrunner, hits but fails to break her off Snowrunner
  • Retard action surges, hits again but fails to knock her off again
  • Snowrunner goes down as the specter sucks all the life out of him
  • One of the specters swings at Retard, misses and tries to flee, Retard gets a AOO and hits
  • The other specter heads to Terry, hits and then flees, Terry gets a AOO and hits
  • Terry fires another chromatic orb at the specter closest to him and misses
  • FiZi fires an arrow at the specter closest to Terry and hits
  • Retard jumps at the specter above him, attacks, hits and kills Keylie
  • Snowrunner saves against death, passes

  • High-fives all around
• Terry uses a healing potion on Snowrunner
• We grab Marcus
• We get Marcus and Lillian married and Lillian becomes mortal... I think
• Terry asks what Lillian's studies were all about
  • She has been trying to figure out eternal life for her and Marcus
  • The rings were a step in that direct
  • She says she was able to contain the soul of a small beast within her own at one point
  • The only thing that could bring a soul to ease was another soul, you could calcify your soul into a cage to trap another
  • She says it's a way to protect/hide a soul from harm
  • She was only able to contain small souls, a mouse was as far as she got
  • Terry asks what the host gains by doing this
    • Nothing it turns out, it's supposed to be voluntary
    • If you were to force a soul into another the contained soul would be trapped
    • Only great magic can reverse this but if the host dies the contained soul dies
  • Her transmutation magic is what lets you contain a soul
  • She says you could contain an army of souls
  • Lillian has notes in her lab and recommends great caution trying to do it ourselves
  • Retard wants to screw with Popes soul
  • Terry asks what would happen if you hosted a higher being inside yourself, like a celestial being
    • You could safe-keep a soul or hide it that way
    • Terry asks if it could be transferred to a empty vessel, she doesn't know
    • FiZi flips the question, what if a celestial being wanted to hid a soul in it
    • There is a inverse relationship between the host and the amount of magic it takes to contain a soul
      • A human can do a mouse
      • Celestial could do a human
      • More powerful magic can hold more
    • FiZi muses out loud about how some of the gods recently went missing
      • Lillian suggests you'd need nine vessels of great power to do this
      • She says you'd need to get a legion of studied power wizards to do this but it is possible, very unethical
• The town throws us a party, pays us 250gp
• Session over, quest complete
