session date: 09/12/2024
- we see a gorgon (medusa bc the writers suck)
- apparently their head snakes eat rats/mice, a fact that disturbs chauncey deeply
- theo puts on a sock as a blindfold as Eleri and Soot do recall knowledge checks (which theo does but doesnt rely any info)
- soot tries to guide theo but theo runs, they end up grappling and fucking about
- theo tries to make diplomatic contact with the gorgon and initative is called
- everyone but theo gets slowed 1, theo throws a bomb
- eleri summons blant
- soot closes eyes
- soot casts revealing light, but because of blinded he misses and catches theo, removing his concealment and making him dazzled
- lots of fighty actions and eleri shanks it to death
- we go through the door and see our favourite boy! Gromblo!
- HE CAN FUCKING SPEAK
- he gives us some riddles
- one for theo: “Upon my skin, runes are writ. Drink from me, and fate is lit. I hold what is cursed, yet you will seek me out. What Am I? ”
- Answer: A Cursed Chalice
- one for Eleri: “I watch in silence, my face of stone. Once worshiped, now alone. Kings and peasants seek my gaze, but fear to meet it all their days. What am I? ”
- Answer: An Idol (of a old god)
- one for Soot: “I am a path, but tread me not. I change and twist, yet I remain still. The stars know me well. What am I?”
- Answer: Constellations
- One for all of us: “Born of air and struck by flame, I travel swiftly, but never remain. I herald dread and tear the night, leaving behind a scent of fright. What am I? ”
- Theo correctly answers first: Lightning
- as a reward for us solving the riddle he fucking screams in our ears and attacks us
- its called a Nilith
- THE WORST FUCKING FIGHT IN HISTORY OCCURS WHERE EVERYONE RUNS OUT OF FUCKING SPELLS AND BOMBS
- BUT IT FUCKING DIES TO SOOTS FIRE ORB
- theo is going to buy a fucking gun with the shit tonne of platnium we got from that bastard
Eleri (Leaving us :(((( )– “Satisfied with her notes regarding the Gauntlight and it’s connection to the Outer Gods, as well as the knowledge that Soot had in fact travelled from an unknown plane (potentially one beyond even the outer sphere itself), she returned to the dig site to rest and say her goodbyes to her new friends before seeking passage back to Katapesh. Before departing, she created a series of small ice sculptures of the party: Theo holding a bottle with Chauncey on his shoulder, Soot leaning on his staff, Morgeth crouched while holding a crossbow at ease, and herself (naturally, the most detailed statue) with a heavy layer of snow adorning her armour.
She also left a small gift (of little monetary value) for each of her friends: For Theo, a flask of low-alcohol liquer from Katapesh’s Order of Alchemists and Potion Makers. For Morgeth, two additional weevils she found in the game’s room and three crossbow bolts (that had been recovered from missed shots), and for Soot, a copy of her workout routine written on the back of a flyer promoting the Dawnflower Library in Otari.”Satisfied with her notes regarding the Gauntlight and it’s connection to the Outer Gods, as well as the knowledge that Soot had in fact travelled from an unknown plane (potentially one beyond even the outer sphere itself), she returned to the dig site to rest and say her goodbyes to her new friends before seeking passage back to Katapesh.
