Yoon-Suin session summary 200401

Resting in the dungeon, the gang sets a bear trap, which breaks the leg of a pale blue Mantid. We scare off his friends, but tend his wounds and return him to his lair, offering information on new fishing spots. The Mantid leader, though, perhaps wisely, doesn't want to speak to us.

We find a corpse in an archway, with black ivy stretched out around it. Umesh's war worm sprays the ivy, and it seems safe enough to pass. We reach a large, natural cavern atop a flight of stairs, overgrown and lush with plant life.

A great, gaunt statue sits at the cavern's centre, and at the far wall, a dais with a glowing chalice. In the trees, bat-faced monkeys watch us warily. Umesh begins digging for the wizard, but finds only little mirrors instead. Nant digs a little too close to the dais, it seems, and the monkeys attack, shredding his albino form. The gang bails, leaving the Hess for dead.

Upon receiving a few reinforcements from Jade's Favour thanks to quantum meta fluctuations, we reach another tree-filled room, this one with a cowering, phantom gardener. In Umesh's mirror, he appears as he did in life. The crab's mirror also reveals a secret door, through which we find many slimy statues of human women — and another secret door!

Within is a lizard-themed tomb, with a graven sarcophogus at its centre. It reads, "Defiler defied Kezek, in death he serves." Still, we open the coffin to find a human within, with a smashed head and glowing eyes, bearing a pale blue longsword, a golden staff with a lizard's head, and a necklace. We tangle with the undead creature, and Umesh slays it with his perfect sword.

Probing the dungeon further, we reach the lair of an enormous, sleeping creature with stony skin. Holding our collective breath, we withdraw...

session summary: knaves of the earth, 200223

Following their intuition and the cool chill coming from above, the party returned to the buried pyramid's torture chamber and tore aside the vertical stretching rank and wich. In doing so, Luwang was buffeted by a forceful blast, the bellowing screech of High Priest Vladdis. The wraith bore an icy longsword and an amulet and charged for Luwang, but failed to injure the skeleton. As Luwang swung his silver greatsword, Mirabilis, sensing the amulet's importance, sprung to the sarcophagus to deface it wih his file. Doing so caught Vladdis' attention, so Ferris sprung in to divert it. Unfortunately, the vandalism was too strong a lure, and Vladdis grazed Mirabilis's helmet, sending a cold, coursing shock through the former thief's body, leaving him stunned. Ferris plunged his icy touch into the spectre's ethereal form, and with an outpouring of willful magic, froze the wraith completely, letting it shatter upon the sandstone floor. Attempting to shake off t...

session summary: yoon-suin 200325

The Hess' nest stinks of rotting fish. Our Hess partner introduces himself as Jez, along with his friends, rotund Gruzz, who bears a third eye, SaSo, and Nant, whose scales lack all pigment. We discuss the Hess' missing idol until wormlings assault our position from all sides. We take one out with a bear trap, and do our best to spike the doors closed, but a brawl breaks out. Alongside the Hess, we slaughter and loot them all. Umesh scouts our surroundings, finding a pile of "fake dead," before Gruzz reveals a secret door in their lair, filled with loot. With the Hess, we head to the wormlings' hideout and sack it, too. The Hess tell us of their twisted cousins, the Yoch Hounds, and we encounter old writing under algal growth, telling us to "pray before the benediction of Kezek; the blessed may pass the fall and come to the deep." Kezek, we learn, is the Hess' idol. Shortly thereafter, we reach a massive lizard carving with outstretched hands, surrou...

session summary: yoon-suin 200311

Yama, Ade, Qui, Bishal, Umesh, w/ tipsta as ref Jade's Favour has been making money and moves in the world; found a new home for a dragon, uncovered the secrets of the sky metal, funded an insurgent group in the Roach Feeders. Now we're on a quest to recover the world's most powerful magic word: Reincarnate. We seek the watchtower in the Topaz Isles. With the help of Spider Climb, Yama reaches the top, spying on the way a family of spiderpedes, as well as some conspicuously tidy rooms. At the summit, he finds four platonic solids of pure sky stone, and vaults them down for the gang to recover. In his descent, Yama encounters a brilliant gold and red elemental lion — the Sakomere Guardian — while the gang below is set upon by a clutch of grim natives bearing spears. Yama pleas his case, and the lion agrees to show the way to the Grand Palm in exchange for the solids' return. The lion and its followers depart as Yama is killed by a spring trap of spiders, so the gang foll...
