Session XVI

## *“Enigmatic”*

1. The party fights Jakkenapes. They absolutely dominate them all.
2. Eonar Lonegale reveals the reason why they avoid the temple, they had never seen death before, and the thought of it scared them, so Eonar Lonegale forbade them from entering the temple. Before exile, they had everything provided to them from the tree. Those at Riverbend live a sheltered life. The exception being, the leader of  Riverbend, Leoren Vinebend along with a few of the other wood elves used to live in Acadia when it still existed. Leoren Vinebend left Acadia because though Acadia’s leader, Handrios Alcaeus, was friendly, the people were not. When they left they found “The World Tree”. The people there felt at peace and unable to lift their weapons (obvious exaggeration). The Tree caused the people to become complacent and they forgot of rebellion , at least before Eonar was born and began to rebel. This is why he was exiled. Flash forward and it becomes now.
3. No Elf has died of old age so far. **Fas is 850 years old. Leoren is in his late 900s. Eonar is 357 years old.**
4. The World Tree is in the center of the Forest.
5. Tarenis Sunsong is a high elf he is the advisor to the human royal family. Some say that he is nearly 1000 years old.
6. Acadia is the first built human city.
7. The party makes way to the cave, there the party finds faded cave drawings, appearing to be made with blood. It is a giant red dot with a ring around it, with two little drops around it. Lady Katiara says that that is the crest of her family, the Bogars. Lady Katiara finds it strange as her family has no ties to the forest of serenity. She reveals to the party that the only reason she knew about the cave is that she saw it in a dream. Lady Katiara says that at least over 1000 years ago, Megalis Bogar, the first ever chief of the bogar tribe was told to have been a prophet. He then took the tribe and disappeared.
8. The cave seems to have been man made. The path leads them to a giant chamber, that magically lit up. In the center, a blue flame erupts. There, setting things up, is Set. He asks Ibrahim to hold out his hand. Set lets go of his can and it seems to not move. Set uses his now free hand to set a stone into Ibrahim’s hand. This stone is a Sending stone. Set refers to Quincy as a friend, literal or not, the party does not know. Set retrieves his cane and dissipates. Lady Katiara can only respond to this with, “Enigmatic”.
9. Along the wall of this great chamber are three etchings. The first one appears to be a mountain, a very tall mountain. Ascending that mountain is a man with a bump similar to Katiara’s on his shoulder. On the top of that mountain appears to be a man who looks similar to set. The second Image depicts a human teenager holding a book. This image sends the party a dark feeling. The etchings seem to animate themselves. The boy falls from the sky. He hits the ground with an audible thud echoing around the chamber. “Father? Anyone? Arios?”. The party then begins to hear loud whispers as the boy finds a book. The book seems to talk to the boy, “I can help you find your father.” “Really?” “Yes, just lay your hands upon me.”. The book’s laughter fills the chamber. The image reverts back to the original. The third and final etching seems to be blank, at least for a moment. Then a strange spiral pattern seems to go around the wall. Then it seems to become four figures, a minotaur, a goliath, an elf, and human. They are looking over a cliff, surrounded by lush forests and bountiful plains, as well as creatures that have never been seen before.
10. The party hears the voice of Set say “Well done my children I knew I could count on you.” the party turns, where the blue flame was, a pedestal is there, it seems to be a shadow of a book. Lady Katiara approaches  the book, but the party stops her. After a short amount of bickering the party lets her approach. The book has a blue cover and gold cross, behind the cross seems to be the painting of an eye. No one is able to touch the book as it is a shadow. On its spine it says *Book of the Prophet*. The book disappears and the party hears the sound of stone molding. The image of the man climbing the mountain suddenly has the book appear in his hand. The man who looks like Set on top of the mountain puts his hands onto the shoulder of the other man. Light shines down upon the ascending man, “Come forth my child and receive my blessing.”
11. Brigitte finds a piece of stone protruding from one of the walls, behind it she can feel a slight breeze. She presses it and then the party hears the moving of stone The left wall raises and the lights of the room turn a crimson color. Behind the wall seemed to be a chamber with an ornate chest decorated with pearls. Inside the party finds ornate gems and gold as well as a **lance.** The lance is as light as a feather. It has a golden handle where it looks it used to be decorated by gems. The tip of the lance is pearly white and it glows. The party pockets 240 gold pieces
12. The party finds another button and the right wall rises. The color of the lights glow hot pink. In the center of the room is heavy full plate armor and jet black. The armor shows a faint golden glow.

When Ibhrahim dons the armor, his family crest replaces Bogar’s on the breast. This armor is known as the ***Plate of Tradition:*** *As heavy armor it provides 18 base AC and grants an extra +1 bonus to AC, immunity to charm effects*.
