Session List
Notetaker: Jesus

-The boats have trouble rowing in this strange water

-Some of the party members have more difficulty rowing and grow exhausted

-Golo dips his hand in the water and feels something strange, like a baby's hand and quickly rips his hand out of the water

-Looking down Golo sees not just a baby's hand but multiple hands of various sizes.

-Evander and All-Moon see something possibly thirty feet from the ship, something like an albino whalefin but it doesn't break the tension of the water

-Grant wants to go to the inverted ziggurat to get closer to mining the crystals

-All-Moon suggests using the silence spell to help mining

-After one day's travel they are closer to the ziggurat, there is a weirdly shaped sandbar that they approach

-Grant asks All-Moon for their help at docking and if they can assist to free the boat if it gets stuck. But it does not get stuck

-Lye gets a rope tied around his waist and instructs them to jump up and drive in a piton

-Evander casts silence on the ziggurat where Lye will land

-When he gets about fifteen feet close to the ziggurat, the gravity inverts and they actually start falling

-Lye has a tough time tying the knot and driving the piton

-Lye sees a staircase and a doorway, is tempted to go explore

-Grant lets people begin climbing to go explore, while thinking of what to do for the less physically people to get across

-All-Moon jumps instead of using the rope

-Evander is the first to start climbing, followed by Korrin then William and finally Golo

-When Golo finishes climbing the piton snaps and the rope begins to fall but he uses dust to fly and try to secure a new piton

-Lye peaks into the antechamber of the doorway, the interior is pitch black material which contrasts the stark white of the outside

-Lye sees a circle, strange circle

-Evander calls out, "Do not touch anything"

-Lye points out the strange symbol to All-Moon, and when they look they see many more with different configurations but similar style

-Evander sees it is very old weird planar shit, he has seen them in books but does not know what they do

-When everyone converges, three start glowing. One telescopes out and grows and disappears, and then another. They are like gears in a machine

-The second one is shrinking before disappearing, the third just flashes brightly before disappearing

-One of them apparates on the stone in the corner before then going to the stairway

-There is a crossroads of sorts and before they decide on a direction, Golo casts pass without a trace, and Evander casts his protections

-There is a turn about ten feet away

-There is a glow that Golo notices as he is in the rear, and then he turns to see there is now a wall behind them

-Golo whispers this to Korrin and then passes it forward

-Evander and All-Moon notice dust idly in the air, and paying more attention they notice that the dust is falling in reverse or returning to the ceiling. All-Moon sees a pebble shakes and starts bouncing away and then up

-Lye turns the corner and sees rubble starting to open up

-And then they see furniture, and chess board, and tables, and couches. Even a potted plant that is busted

-Golo moves one of the chest pieces, and then it moves back and the potted plant repairs itself. Other things begin to change as well

-Evander tries to make a mark on one wall to test and comes to the conclusion that the place seems to be in a time loop of sorts, possibly repairing itself or reversing time on itself

-There is temptation of buttons thrown at Lye by an outside source

-The buttons are on the side of the chess board

-Lye falls to temptation and goes to touch a button, shifting it along the edge and the board shifts as well

-All of the squares that did not have tiles pop up making like a labyrinth

-The group then notices All-Moon was off to the side staring down a hallway

-When they turn and return to the group they mention being watched, something in the form of teardrops floating around following their movements. But they say when the message was sent the drops sped away, faster than All-Moon could keep up with

-All-Moon stays vigilant, and eventually see a few of the drops return or maybe new ones

-They then hear footsteps approaching from where the three dispersed to and it seems human but too perfect, but the skin is ceramic

-It asks the group to stop touching things as there is a delicate procedure happening

-Golo returns the chess board and the thing thanks them and says Lord Malsyr will meet us after the procedure is done

-It then turns and leaves, and All-Moon is able to point out the teardrops that are watching them

-All-Moon lifts a palm to the teardrops, and one of them actually gets close though it does not land. All-Moon examines it closely

-After some time waiting, the ceramic being approaches and tells Golo his tea is still being prepared

-It then addresses Evander, since Evander asked to speak with the master

-It confirms that the place is going to be transpositioned but when asked to confirm they don't want to go with, it retorts saying the master doesn't want them to come with either

-Lye asks about the hands in the water, it is responded that they are extra data, and are in the water to prevent overheating

-Evander asks since our time is different if it was wise for us to wait, and it goes to ask its master

-After an hour, two human women in contracting dresses pass through pushing carts, one with a teapot and another with confectionaries

-Ceramic bot addresses the group, "Lord Malsyr will see you now" and it begins to move away

-The group follows the bot

-It warns not to interact and be patient as the Lord is interfacing with the structure

-There are tubes that go up Lord's robe

-He is introduced as Lord Malsyr, He of Ten Thousand Eyes

-He scans all of us with the teardrops, then they focus on Golo and he states it is problematic

-Evander interjects asking if it is because of the corruption, and it says if that is what we call it here

-He mentions trying to escape it but having to stop at this time to make emergency repairs

-Golo says he is trying to find a cure but it laughs at him and says this is not something to be cured

-"His fractals are ever spreading once they witness her failings"

-He asks how long it has been since it started, and when answered he states there might still be time and asks if there has been an Aeon spotted

-Evander heard of Aeon's are neutral similar to planatar that do not leave Mount Acheron and they fix things.

-The world he ran from is in its death throes. The Aeons delivered the message and Malsyr was not confident of the ones who received the message would be capable of handling it

-Evander asks for information to help fight against it

-Malsyr reaches into his chest cavity and a tube falls, and slowly he stands

-He looks like a tech unwrapped mummy

-"Let us walk"

-Leads the group to a greenhouse type place, like a zen garden

-Plants are weird, druid doesn't even know about them. Some of the plants are even singing

-It is estimation that the corruption is from Aakritinos' body, and he finds what he is looking for after she is perished or collapsed

-When Lye asks about who is "She" that part is cut out

-"If The Halcyon Blade ever caught wind, the planet is forfeit"

-"The power of the angels and the power of force" Radiant and Force damage is good against the Demense

-He asks about how much the corruption has spread, Evander shows a map which confuses Malsyr since he thought there was more than one continent. He mentions another west, in unexplored lands

-Evander explains that there are two more that are known

-The two are Kyutin and Urasha

-Malsyr mumbles about its signals being strong enough for interference from his exoskeleton (Of the Inevitable)

-Evander asks if a skeleton could be confused for an inevitable and Malsyr says if it has been damaged enough

-Evander compares it to the lightning skeleton we have been tasked to search for

-He states we can approach it peacefully, but if it is damaged it might not be wise. Also keep Golo away from it

-We are dismissed, Malsyr does not like our plane much anymore

-The butler escorts us away, and gives the name Anu

-Tells us not to come back without invitation

-When Grant asks what was inside Evander says "We have been uninvited" and Grant says he knows not to question the place of a Lich which no one corrects and we leave with haste
