Session 17
Sightseeing
After defeating Fenric and taking Marrowbane, the portal lights up and the group’s vision goes blurry.
They see flashes of light, scenes from different worlds playing out above them.
You see a single lidless eye atop a black tower wreathed in flame.
You see warriors dressed in brown robes fighting with magic swords.
You see a city made of stone and glass, motorised carriages on the road.
and many Otherworlds.
Gaia spots a stained glass mural behind some vines
It tells the story of Hastur/Fenric
And another that’s too shattered to read
Gaia uses investigation to figure out that one of the shards depicts Shamash but she looks different (Gaia +1 Inspiration)
The destroyed mural’s plaques read: The Rat King, The Four Horsemen of Carcosa, The King in Yellow.
Meanwhile… De-Mon, Kelver, Mialee, and Ix
They study the nearby dock occupied by Fenric, there’s too many for them to take out on their own.
They see that the caravans are hauling barrels of gunpowder just beneath the mountain.
They follow the caravans.
Below the mountain, they see a camp where the caravans have been deposited.
There’s three guards, and a rat.
There’s a large sandstone rock in the middle
They stealthily take them out (200 XP * 4)
The ground rumbles, the clouds bellow and center on their location.
A bolt of lightning hits the rock
And out of the ground erupts a large blue dragon
The Dragon says thus “What are you doing here?”
De-Mon explains that they were just taking out the men intruding here.
The Dragon tells them to leave.
They leave.
They meet up with the other group.
Gaia shows them the sword she found.
They take a vote on what to do, ultimately deciding on luring Fenric out by pretending they’ll destroy it.
They leave Ruathym, heading for Neverwinter.
