Session 76

Continuing their search for the missing Concludion and Kitano, the party experiments with exploring Votuum's Spiral at night. 
== Summary ==
After completing their short rest, the party continued to explore the prisons in Votuum's Spiral. They found a locked door on the only path forward they could find, so they returned to the Jailer to search for keys. As they began their search, his skull and spine leaped out, latching onto Kiono. Sors used her Turn Undead ability, eliminating it quickly. They found the keys and swiftly made their way through the locked door. They found themselves in the lab once again. 
Searching the lab for more potential path ways, they discovered another door and went through. This door led them to a lake town with docks and ships in the water. Everything was old and rotted. They explored the town, finding a tavern and a jail—which itself led back to the jail they had just left. Frustrated at having ended up in the jail again, they returned to the library. 
There, they encountered Aedon, having taken a form with white-silver hair and gold eyes. They explained that they had gotten bored and had just showed up in the Spiral. They were enjoying reading, so with a word of warning about the dangers in the place, the group let them be. 
They moved on to the ballroom next. They lit the candelabra, and the sun that could be seen through the windows set. The plates on the table appeared to have been used, and the candles that had once been lit no longer were. The painting that led to the gallery had been torn apart by something with claws. A large man wearing a chef's outfit and wielding a large man emerged as the party continued to search the room. He complained that all of the guests had left before they had finished the full meal, then attacked the party. His knife, when striking an enemy, caused them to become filled with rage and bloodlust. Upon defeating the cook, Teer attempted to contact Concludion via the rockie talkie. Instead of reaching Concludion, though, he heard a whispered voice that declared that they were "so proud" of the party, and that soon they would "find us," referring to whoever was speaking. Concerned about the voice but unable to do anything about it immediately, they returned once again to the library to take a long rest. 
The next morning they continued to experiment with changing aspects of the Spiral. They lit the candelabra in the ballroom, then returned to the library. They found it dark and filled with spiders and their webs. They retreated back into the ballroom and attempted to make a plan. They wanted to attempt to scry on the missing men, but Sors did not know them, and Kiono had not prepared the spell that day. It was decided that Sors would attempt to use her echo sight ability on Kiono to learn what she could about Kitano. 
Sors witnessed a series of memories of Kiono's. She first saw her as a happy child. Then she saw her as a young woman with a man practicing martial arts nearby. An older woman arrived, and Kiono was terrified. She then saw Kiono reading a book at a hots spring. Somebody did a cannonball near her, splashing her with water, and she laughed with them. Then she was in a classroom setting with several other girls. The older woman gave them instructions, but Kiono's spell went awry and accidentally killed one of the girls. Then both Kiono and Sors fell through the world. Sors then was Kiono, landing in the palm of a giant, green, headless being. The being looked down on her, then crushed her in its fist. Sors came to, barely maintaining consciousness. Kiono suspected that her connection to the Devoured was likely too strong for Sors to safely echo sight, as the halberd had been. 
They took a short rest to allow Sors to recover from her contact with the Devoured. They then lit the candelabra and moved into the garden. It was nighttime there, and moonflowers were in bloom, though all the rest of the flowers were dead. Assassin vines grew among the flowers that did still live, attacking those who came close to them. The book for returning to the library was missing, so they searched for it, finding it under a bush. Teer attempted to retrieve it using Mage Hand, but a humanoid wolf-person launched itself from the bush, attempting to snatch the book back from Teer.
