Session 59.5

Teer takes Ephemera into Rama va Arel for a date. 
== Summary ==
Teer and Ephemera entered the main portion of the compound that is Rama va Arel. Inside, they found what would have been pristine hallways, marred only by the combat from 900 years prior. They stopped first in a room labeled as the sick bay. Inside, the found a corpse, its skin dry and shrunken down to the bones. As Teer attempted to search the corpse, it jerked in unlife, attempting to attack him. He dispatched the zombie quickly enough and completed his search, finding a small card of slate around the elf's neck. Ephemera checked the room for anything interesting, dumping a number of filled vials, some of which glowed, into the bag of holding. They moved on to the next room, labeled "Sensitive." The room contained a large number of preserved specimens, one of which Teer took to give to Keera Andromeda at a later time. Ephemera also discovered a small box which would, if powered properly, show a projection. 
The pair then backtracked and found a large room with very clear signs of combat. Several more zombies are discovered, which Teer dispatched handily. One of the fallen warforged found here appeared to be intact enough to potentially be repaired at a later point, so Teer set them near the door to be retrieved on their way out. Another warforged seemed to have an auxiliary power supply, which Teer took. Not finding anything more in this room and unable to open most of the doors, they continued forward through the one door available to them. They eventually ended up in what appeared to be a hanger for the sky elves' sky bikes. More zombies were dispatched, and the pair find one of interest. One of the corpses, apparently not a full-blooded elf, bore an ID naming them Delphenel "Firebrand" Tal'Korvis. They had a leather jacket which Ephemera put on and a second key card, this one red. After examining the sky bikes, Teer discovered that Delphenel's sky bike was in good enough condition that it could be repaired with some ease. Another auxiliary core was discovered and stored for later. 
Access to previously closed doors now available, they backtracked once again and entered what appeared to be an armory. A powerful battle appeared to have taken place in this room despite its small size. Whatever demon that died here left burning gashes in the walls, but was felled by equally powerful gashes from a laser gun wielded by the scientist, who died in that fight. This zombie was dispatched, though not before giving Teer a good hit with the butt of their gun, and searched. Teer discovered a yellow key card and an ID badge naming the corpse as that of Kethryllia Tal'Theda. 
Eventually they moved forward once again, opening one of the doors they had previously skipped over. This room was seemingly storage, but had been ransacked, claw marks all over the inside of the door and walls. Concerned that a demon had been locked in, Ephemera went a short distance into the room to see if she could locate the creature. She did, finding a demon who had built what was effectively a shrine out of the spare parts in the room. The demon was speaking to the statue made of parts, pacing before it and seemingly holding an entire conversation with it, albeit one-sided. While she could not understand him, it seemed apparent that he had lost his mind. The two left, closing the door behind them and decided to come back later after some preparation to deal with the demon. 
The next room contained a control terminal and was labeled as engineering. A large crack beside a mechanical door allowed Ephemera to send her form through to investigate the other side. Inside, she found a curving hallways, seeming to form a loop. The inner wall of the loop was made of glass, though whether through magic or the glass simply being black, she could not see through it. Due to the range of her projection, she was only able to determine that there was apparently a breech in the glass and a door further down the hallway. Uncertain what else to do, Teer used the three key cards to activate the terminal, hoping to open the door so they could investigate the room better. Lights turned on and the ground lurched as the entirety of Rama va Arel powered back on and began to rise from the ground. Overhead, another projection box turned on, playing a scene between Kethryllia and Vayduin Tal'Zergeiros.
