He is dressed in leather armor and a tattered red cape and wears a shield. His face is framed by curly brown hair and bears a melancholic expression. He pleads, “I am imprisoned. Please help me.” Suddenly, the ground vanishes beneath your feet, and you fall, tumbling through a vortex of golden light. You fall deeper, deeper, deeper, then suddenly stop. The golden light subsides, and you find yourself suspended in a pitch-black expanse. You feel water buoying you. A vermilion light appears in the distance, illuminating the melancholy warrior, who is shackled to the ground by disgusting strands of a fleshy, crimson substance. He raises his gaze to the heavens and, sobbing, chokes out, “Moon Weaver, I beg of you. Guide those with the power to save me to the site where first I prayed to you.” He looks around, and his eyes settle on you. “Oh, gods, there you are! My name is Alyxian. I am lost in darkness. Long ago, I prayed to the Change Bringer in the heart of a temple of evil. I beg you, take my jewel and…” You feel consciousness leaving you, as if the pressure of the water were crushing the life out of you. Alyxian’s voice is the last thing you hear before you pass out. “Save me. Please.” back in the groto amulet is on the ground Enwhi hears a sobing voice aknowledging what happened to the man out again Figuel satyr he/him new from the event green eyes black hair druid scimetar came because of Ruidus Lucy reminds him of someone recognised the amulet from a dream reason he came we won goblin elder gets the emerald gold is given amulet vestige detect magic, blinding aura of illusion evening feast back to the unbroken tusk Ezra follows the Change-Bringer demonic incursions at Bazzoxan temple referred might be the one there during the night Ayo tried to sneak onto Cali and Enwhi to "take a closer look on the amulet" next morning last minute shopping found a prick from the school days: Rolen Tasithar spiteful because i "cheated" against him he wasn't worth it + the best ppl usually knew it and they liked the extra challenge still got a 2gp discount party got what they needed Mighty 5 took all the horses earlier we are on foot evening giant corpse on the side of the road it's a gloom-stalker died from a fight, arrows and burns on it Lucy found Irvan's ring on the ground from that and the footsteps it seems we are 1/2 behind them campfire time Figuel cooks dinner Cali does some ice breaking during the dinner Lucy said the reason she doesn't speak is physical Ezra said that he's on a mission to discover what's actually going on with the demonic incursions at the temple to Avandra. night watch Lucy and Ezra first watch and some training (1/4) Enwhi darkest hours (2/4 & 3/4) input for the others needed Chapter 2: Road to Bazzoxan session 4 (10/07/2022) cart-wreck on the side of the road erratic stearing would be the cause 3 corpses 3 lights inside the cart will-o'-wisps combat Lucy gets downed again as they swarm her Figuel save with a clutch healing spirit they gather around Lucy, leaving a charm of heroism chest transmutation aura small bag of coins potion Lucy takes the content from the Tasithar tailors family of the rude clerk, Rolen Tasithar Reena Tasithar his twin sister is part of the cadavers animal messenger to him has attached a letter from Lucy explaining the situation with a ps really sorry for you loss (signed and signet ring wax seal) Moorbounder Mayhem tiefling saddled on a Moorbounder surrounded by 2 more hanging on for dear life asks for help Figuel casts animal friendship on one of the two, it is now named Banoffee punches and psychic later the other one is down Tiefling is called Justice tamed Moorbounder is called Rice Pudding saw the Mighty 5 a day ago on the road got separated from the caravan going towards the Emerald loop set camp under Ruidus Ezra, Lucy and Cali spar a bit Figuel finds a Yuyo small talk about Ruidus Lucy shares her knowledge of the moon also named Moon of Ill Omen Enwhi notices the 2 colors of Lucy's eyes left blue right an uncanny gold ruin campfire day old traces might be the Mighty 5 Figuel notices Ruidus is full in the morning noises from where Lucy is sleeping some kind if fit in her sleep ?

Their council of masters, with tongues so silver, Seek knowledge forbidden, with passion they quiver. But caution, dear friends, for danger abounds, And treachery often within their hallowed grounds. Trust in your instincts, your heart and your might, And beware the shadows that lurk in plain sight. For the city of Ank'harel can be both boon and bane, A place of wonder, but also of pain. Yet amidst the chaos, a hero may rise, A shining beacon, lighting up the skies. So keep your eyes and ears open wide, And let your courage be your guide.

An aboleth haunts the Drowned City. It slaughtered all but one member of our last expedition. The creature calls itself Alyxian—certainly not an aboleth name, but not one I am familiar with either. But know this: Cael Morrow is where we must focus our efforts, lest the Allegiance of Allsight claim the only known source of ruidium for itself. Our key to the rift is lost, but we have a spy in the Drowned City searching for it. Meanwhile, we have decided to secure a new headquarters.
