WoDaD Session 18

== Title ==
Silence Falls
== Recap ==
The party debates the Gauth situation more and ends up deciding to try talking to the creatures for more information. If all goes well, they hope to increase the power or number of Gauths to better support the city. Once they reach the massive cavern of the creatures, they find the two residing over a huge hoard of random, previously-magical items. Chi Pin gets Qiro's help to cast a spell to comprehend languages; it starts to go wrong, so Bran inspires and Yorsog helps read the situation with his general understanding of creatures. The Gauths don't like that he's looking at them funny, though. Plus, the spell has a strange side-effect: Chi Pin hears themself as speaking in an alien dialect, which is trippy but not too terrible. Nandy tries to interrupt but it doesn't go great for her. 
Chi Pin asks how more Gauths can be made or summoned and notices the red Gauth, Hahtawp Iq, blushing. Before the Gauths can decide to try to eat them, they tell Atlas, the blue Gauth, about the red's crush on it. It goes a little too well and the Gauths decide to "make another" immediately. This strange ritual involves a lot of screaming and shooting eye beams at random all over the room. Yorsog threatens Nandy by saying he'll summon another meteor so she leaps at him, still shackled to Chi Pin, which leads to both of them dangling off the side of the sheer walkway they're on. Amros heaves them back up with Maria helping to slow a beam that almost hit him, but another hits Maria and cancels her staff's magical charge for a minute.
With all the chaos, Bran starts casting a protective hut around his group. As he casts it, though, something pulls him through space onto the floor of the cavern, far away from the party. The Star-Spawn Seer and the two Hulks that appeared with the meteor appear. They threaten to destroy the party and the city, so everything breaks out into a chaotic fight. They get some good blows in but the session ends when Maria is knocked out.
