WoDaD Session 11

== Title ==
The Element of Surpr-eyes
== Recap ==
The party finally reaches the Zendarru Nightfall Hold. They see that the fort is partially destroyed but more concerning are the shifting, warping lights and voids above. Bran, invisible by Maria's hand, sneaks into the base but isn't able to see much besides signs of some wreckage and a couple of odd boulders in the center of the fort. The others join him in the fort - Maria feeling an immense weirdness at the edge of her magical awareness and recognizing it as a symptom of extraplanar issues - and Amros sees an eye on one of the two mounds. Bran, impatient with how little they're learning from the situation, walks right up to the red mound. 
Suddenly, the mound opens dozens of eyes and horrible, gibbering mouths, revealing that rather than being made of clay it's made of flesh. Bran narrowly escapes it as well as the second mound, which reveals itself to be an earth elemental. The party fights together with a little bit more cooperation than usual and eventually, the two monstrosities are slain - one a shattered pile of stone, the other a horrific pile of burning goo. After the battle, Maria finds a book with a powerful magical aura and she wants really badly to read it... but she can't, so the feeling fades and she puts the book in her bag. 
They all look through the inside rooms of the fort with little luck, though they pick up some gold, a ring, and... a mannequin? When Bran walks out, a wave of pure magic rolls over them all, leaving them stronger. Unfortunately, it also fuses the two dead monsters together, creating an even worse (and even stronger) enemy standing just ahead.
