Session List
Notetaker: Jesus

-The group heads up the cliff wall, approaching a very clearly widened mine entrance

-Grant approaches All-Moon and asks for a favor, then mentions to the full party if they could take in a solo adventurer who is needed for their expertise

-Evander asks to meet them first, and approaching the group is a rather short individual with one eye covered by a brown inscribed eye patch. They wear several bags on them

-Evander recognizes a mark on the eyepatch

-Lye asks about the eye, Golo states he lost it in an accident

-Lye asks about their expertise, to which Golo states geology, but Grant also adds expertise on corruption

-Golo has a badger pet, Lye warns no touch and no kill rule

-The plan is to split into three paths, each group scouting for two to three days before getting together and sharing information to decide which path to take

-One group has a small dwarf by the name Smolderbraid

-Another group has a (hot) elven girl named Li'the

-Korrin gives the group two copper rods per person in preparation of the possible ordeal with a lightning skeleton

-Lye questions the earring which All-Moon demonstrates its use, following Lye mentioning his new Periapt

-Evander questions the eyepatch and whether Golo is an inquisitor

-While the dwarf wants to take a path for themselves right away, Evander searches for a moment before deciding to go the southern path

-Marching order is, Lye, William, Korrin, Golo, Evander, and All-Moon

-The travel is smooth for the majority of the time until the end of the second day where they find a collapse

-Evander can tell this was caused by the skeleton likely. But knows they have to find a route around, Lye however finds a rotting arm

-Golo finds a skull, but they came from the same body but the parts don't match as if from different pieces

-The dwarven group sent one back while the rest stayed to continue clearing the rubble

-The elven group mentions a camp

-They all decide to pursue the camp which was another two days travel, and they meet a group of four kobolds that hold spears defensively.

-They speak undercommon, which All-Moon is able to communicate with them and asks for information for trade

-The kobolds lead them to the "Elder" who is a half-dragon kobold with wings known as a dragonwrought

-All-Moon and Evander know what it is, and after some communicating, the Elder invites them to a feast for information

-Evander asks about the lightning skeleton, and the elder mentions they were attacked. He leads them to a a bioluminescent part of the cave where there are like cave drawings showing them being chased into the crevice they are hiding in

-The art of the kobolds pings as.... undead?

-Perhaps the thing depicted (bad guys gutting and devouring kobolds's faces?) can manifest through the paint? Unclear but bad vibes

-There is a disturbing image of a large creature leaning over with a knife cutting up a kobold

-He says to not trust those who are lost, they steal their faces and become them.

-Evander states he may have a method to detect the imposters, and he brings out an item to detect good and evil

-He gives glances at All-Moon, Golo, and William before then noting undead from the paintings of the creatures themselves

-The half dragon doesn’t want to remove the paintings, they've been there for ages. This is very frustrating.

-They have a festival with the group and nothing bad happens (we are not eaten by half dragon. yay!)
-There is another two days travel back to the starting place, Evander prepares ten bottles of holy water

-As they near the meeting spot, there is the sound of a snap and a scream as the shaft plummets down. Evander manages to cast featherfall on some to save them

-Lithe however is crushed along with two guards

-Investigating it is unclear if it was accidental or if it was on purpose, perhaps a last ditch attempt on Lye

-Evander asks All-Moon if they can lift the lift, and All-Moon is blank staring for a moment, finally snapping out of it. They go to lift and with some difficulty begin to lift piece by piece, but Evander touches their shoulder telling them they know the look and tell All-Moon it isn't their fault.

-Evander then casts enlarge and All-Moon begins to lift with ease

-Golo heals the wounded

-As Evander moves in to pull out the bodies, they are blocked off by the guards of Li'the's group. They pull out some metal discs from the corpses and themselves. And touching the discs together they disappear

-Grant is panicking over what to do with these deaths and paying them off and such.

-Li'the, Gerald, Fabian, Sam, Luthor, and another one.

-Evander moves around and begins to try to see if any of the expedition groups have been infiltrated

-After two more days of travel they reach the dwarven hold that has clearly been abandoned as the only movement is from the dwarves

-As they approach the bridge, the Korvin flies up out of the chasm and Evander warns the others to keep their wits as there is something awful ahead

-As they approach the doors at the end of the bridge, Evander and Golo notice that they are warped as if something beating from the inside

-Investigating, the doors are not locked but they appear jammed from the beating

-As they are investigating, one of the dwarves exclaims "Aha" and rolls through the wall

-All-Moon jams the doors while testing them to see how sturdy they are, less of a worry for whatever was trying to get out

-Evander pulls out a holy symbol with a hand that has two thumbs and curled fingers and casts curse ward

-As the group goes into the room, All-Moon being the last, William detonates his arm on a rock piercing the ears of the group

-As the smoke of the rubble clears, the group smells a horrid stench of musk and decay

-Evander takes out a potion bottle and a strange new book fitted with alot of metals that the group has not seen yet

-The liquid transforms

-As the group walks deeper, there are piles and piles of skeletons, and bodies that are not fully decaying

-They have satchels, still wet with blood

-William looks towards Evander to guidance if the satchel is safe

-Evander and All-Moon both use detect magic and note dozens of weak sources of transmutation magic

-Evander makes some space and moves away with the bag, and then opens it

-In the satchel is a percolating face of a dwarf.

-These are the way the members of the nameless turn into others

-Evander tosses the satchel into the other room and throws alchemists fire to scorch the room. He also fabricates a window to air out the room

-Evander then takes the time to seal the room with a door so heavy only someone such as All-Moon would be able to open the thing
