AWR Session 7

-Long rest achieved

-Callus rebandages his face but keeps the bag for emergencies

-David Baker's journal entry has a bunch of Gadzooks! in it

-Mei's connection with 4 is met with some resistance but breaks through. LOUD. Blue answers, says they'll try to keep it down so she can sleep

-4 is red now. Yay!

-Lucian sees Mei's fairy tale book. Thinks it's "fascinating"

-Going to crawl space, Callus casts Heroism on Lucian. Mei mind links with Callus and Lucian. Callus says he'll give Lucian the "cheese touch" if he chickens out

-Hear noises from another door. Sneak up to it. Daveed lets them in. An old woman with a baby, drow woman, kenku, and Daveed holed up inside. Woman's name is Eclipsa. We definitely don't forget to introduce ourselves, and definitely don't keep calling Eclipsa Valie.

-Lucian asks everyone in the room to show him the backs of them. 🍑 No one is a skin walker, that we can tell

-Baby is green and purple and has eight eyes. It's a fucking mimic. Decide to deal with whatever the fuck that means later

-Eclipsa hasn't seen Matteo, but can detect magic, so bring her to the crawl space. Lucien casts dancing lights. Eclipsa leads through tunnel, lots of bugs and gross stuff in the tunnel, then turns up and goes to next level

-Trap door out of the tunnel leads into another room that looks like the one with the skins in it. This wardrobe has a big fucking portal in it. Callus ties the doors shut so nothing from the other side can come in.

-From balcony, Lucian says we're getting reeeeeeally close to needing to get the fuck off the ship, wall of Stockade in view as are the green mtns of Jade Empire and those floating islands where we thought Matteo was going

-"We've mastered shuffleboard, I'm sure we can fly an airship" -Callus

-"I don't think these things want to find us" - Lucian

-Callus boots through another closed door but it's just a nice room that looks used with some nice clothes in it

-Eclipsa wants to know what happened to our friend. Mei dumps the body out of the bag of holding. Eclipsa can't fix her, stuff her back in the bag.

-Lucian and Callus go into original room, all the skins are gone. No trace of where they walked off to. Only magic Eclipsa detects is portal, and whatever weird shit is on the party

-No one alive on the boat can control an airship. Boat is using Brimstone to fly.

-Find out helm is fake, Callus does a smash. Eclipsa sees the pins and string on a map in captains' quarters are magic. Callus figures out moving them directs the boat.

-We're probably going through the portal. Want to send the ship back to Crystalline Dynasty. Mollie will get Empress back.

-Send message on Mei and Callus' stones to Alenora, name of the ship, sending it to Wainstorm, bad stuff happened, Empress is on it, get in touch with Zoya at Cloaked Rabbit, get Valie help ASAP.

-Leave Valie's body, the ring, and her bag with Mollie.

-At the portal Callus reaches out to one of his gods but gets nothing

-Mei grabs Callus' hand and doesn't die. All join hands and go through portal.

-Fuck it's another puzzle. Words everywhere of magic and schools of magic. Figure out real quick not to step on the squares that spell words. We're very bad at this. Lucian dies, but then is revived by 4 with a level of exhaustion. Eclipsa casts detect magic and the whole room lights up. Find out casting in here is bad. Callus turns into a frog. We get pwned by a floor.

-Lucian drinks pink potion from the frog man. No one knows if it's working.

-Singing from portal on other side. Everyone is entranced and starts just walking through except Mei, who tries to shake Eclipsa out of it before they go through. Turns out it didn't work and Mei's the only one awake

-CHAOS 🌈

-Mei sees skull mouth hallway and bunch of bones, everyone in a stupor. Callus is the first one to snap out of it, Mei recruits him to help her barricade the hallway so no one else runs in. He says he saw a woman at the end of the hallway who tried to get him to accept Shar but he refused

-Lucian smacks into barricade. Saw the hallway closing in and crushing him

-4 next, won't tell us what he saw, but says it wasn't comforting

-Eclipsa hits it last

-Portal behind us disappears, everyone pauses to heal up

-Bone piles start shifting, meat creatures pop up. Climb into bags and pull out skins. One is a halfling woman, another is a caramel skinned man with horns, the others are Asoka, Britania, AND FUCKING AUGUSTA SHIT SHIT BALLS

-They are apparently resistant to elements/magic? Callus shoots weird stinger energy out of his finger. Remember to ask about that.

-Lucian casts bless in infernal, Eclipsa speaks infernal. Whoops.

-Turn undead, nothing happens, but seem to be able to camouflage in the light from it (????)

-Psychic damage super hurts them

-OH SHIT THE SWORD IS OUT. Ask about that too. Lucian kills the thing, blood goes into the sword

-Callus unwraps his head, tells everyone not to look at him, but the monsters do anyway

-Lucian casting shield is fucking wild

-Callus gets hit with a crit, goes unconscious. Things seem drawn to his blood

-4 heals Callus, who immediately gets up and compels a duel

"COME ON I'M RIGHT HERE!" - Callus, compellingly

-Eclipsa casts sanctuary on Callus, black feathers, in elvish

-Last crawler is a ninja, but Lucien murders it.

-Eclipsa casts a touch spell on Callus, doesn't die and isn't afraid of his face.

-Mei gives her cloak to Callus to let him rewrap his face if he wants to. Lucien and Eclipsa convinces them they need to rest.

-LEVEL UP BITCHESSSSS
