Session 16

-         The party wakes up the next morning and heads to Sendreal.

-         Thiana has Prim experiment with her trinket the needle swings around wildly.

-         Bael hands in the Sigil of Destruction.

-         Thiana picks up a bundle of afflexia on the docks and the party determines the only ships in dock going their way belong to Amsdrell and Thiana is not going to travel on any of his ships.

-         The party heads back to the teleportation circle tries red key in the wall and ends up in Demlan in the spider dungeon which has been cleared out and is now being used for administrative purposes.

-         They try the purple key and end up in a dark cave with tracks and mine carts going by.

-         They try the orange key and end up back at Phule’s Island.

-         They try the green key and end up back in the chamber in the grung dungeon on Mandrake Island where they first teleported to Demlan.

-         They try the blue key and end up in the basement of the collegium on Metca.

-         The party goes up into the collegium to the courtyard where Prim’s trinket previously went crazy. Thiana climbs the tree, the nest has been abandoned and falls apart at a touch. There is a little bit of obsidian stone poking out of a knot in the branch. She uses her dagger and pries out the sigil of creation.

-         The branch falls to the ground and Rei barely manages to jump out of the way.

-         Bael, Rei and Prim head to the library, Professor Crane points them to a book about the artifacts. The staff of Amadar is a black lacquered staff with red ribbons carved into it. The book indicates there is an artifact room in the celestial capital in the castle, but the Greydon’s are named the guardians of the artifacts.

-         Thiana heads into town to talk to Lady Edna, she arrives to find smoke pouring out of Lady Edna’s lab. Edna is pouring sand on a sentient ooze. Once she has it under control she looks at the bottle with the blue and orange potion. She pulls an old book of the shelf and they head out toward a park b/c there is still smoke coming from her lab. Looking at the potion she says this is cloud potion and reading the book she says it is made in two parts. The potion is associated with an organization called the Guardians and reveals ancestral memories. That’s all she’s got and she seems distracted now. Thiana heads back to the party.

-         The party takes the teleportation circle from Metca collegium to Ramley’s Retreat on Demlan. They lead to Lecka’s house. Prim find’s the bowl she saw while looking at her book and get some from Lecka, it is camphor root extract.

-         They find out the Sea breath is in port. Rei and Bael head out the the sea breath and find Captain Morgan in his cabin. When Beal says he is the Great water elemental, the Captain admits he is, he indicates that it would be better if the god where doing the job that the elementals are doing, after talking a bit they leave him.

-         The party heads back to Lecka’s where they have beds for the night. The party decides that it would be best for Prim to take to remaining cloud potion. In preparation she summons Harry. But Harry is different, he is a medium sized, huge for a spider, bigger then Prim and he tries to scuttle under the bed but won’t fit and then climbs the wall and clings to the ceiling. Prim and the party calms down and coax him to the floor.

-         Prim lays down and Gary sits on the floor with his front legs on the bed. Prim takes the potion and passes out reacting the same as Rei.

-         She is back at home, at the quarry, moving sand but she is not as confident as she normally is doing this task. Her grandmother is there teaching her. She sees the trinket hanging off of a chain on grandmother’s belt.

-         She is on a boat, among a crowd of panicked sailors. Her body is not her own and she can hear the thoughts in the mind of the body she is in. Across the deck she can see another boat in the water. The other boat has been traumatized by a dragon falling on it she remembers it from the mind of the body she is seeing through.

-         There is a woman in white dress and gold trim talking to one of the sailors. ‘What is the dragon-lady talking to us about?’ she thinks, she stares directly at Prim. She says "You were all there. You saw this happen!" the mind she is seeing through remembers seeing a dragon fall from the sky.

-         She is now in a small, dark room, the walls are scribed various silver runes. There is a large box, a black casket with silver scrollwork on it, sitting on a pedestal. There is another pedestal with a delicate pillow and a black staff with red scroll work lays on it, the crest of Arenel with the tempest orb inset is on the end of the staff. There is a golden key in Prims hand. Prim steps out of the room and locks the door. She goes up the some stairs which lead behind the entrance room of the Lord High Despot's castle.

-         Everything goes black again. She is back in the room with queen Celestia. She is packing the crest into a box and she is holding a bunch of papers. She's being rushed by a gentleman. The staff is leaning against the chest. Celestia hands the staff to a servant and says "hide this". The servant nods and exits down another hallway. She is being rushed by an old man. Sir John Fellandar and Sir Dennis Fellandar takes her out to a carriage. They leave at speed.

-         The scene shifts again Prim is in another body again, standing on a flat plain and there is a large stone altar in front of her. She can see a man and he is holding the sigils. The great elementals and various other people are around her. A pillar of light emanates from the altar. The man cuts his hand and drips blood on the sigils. The sigils are now in a circle around the altar. Another man hands him the assembled Staff of Amadar. He holds the staff within the center of the pillar of light. The four elementals are arranged in a square around the circle.

-         A man next to her asks "You have your warding module, right?” Prim looks down and she is holding a book like the one she now has, this one is in better condition. On the other man's belt, hanging from a chain, there is an adamantine trinket, just like the one Prim has.

-         Prim comes to and everyone is relieved, giant Harry is still there. Prim sits up and gets her book, she flips through it her mind is filled with a flash of a blue and white mushroom growing in the school mushroom rack on Paradise Island. It then flashes on a view of a decaying warehouse covered in moss without windows, the humidity is unbearable, there is a cart filled grung bodies sitting outside. This is the warehouse in Swamp Town where they first landed on the Mandrake Islands.

-         With this information Thiana and Prim go to the Sea Breath’s stall in the morning and buy some of the white and blue mushrooms.

-         The party takes a boat to bird Island they start heading to the rising smoke in the distance.

-         As they are walking Thiana finds the rest of everything around her is slowing down and the party disappears, there is a bird caught mid-flight in the sky. She comes to a clearing where a little girl is paddling her feet in a pond, who exclaims, “You came!” Thiana asks her name, her name is TeAhi. Thiana asks if she knows her, the girl responds that of course they do, she helped her once.

-         Thiana notices the girl is now a middle-age woman, she stands and starts walking down a path beckoning Thiana to follow her they come to a clearing where all the trees are burned. There a cottage at the center. They enter and the woman is now an old woman bent over there is a kettle on and the plate of biscuits.

-         TeAhi tells Thiana that she heard her distress and gave her the power to defend herself.

-         At the mention of the ritual and artifact she is suddenly the middle-age woman again and quite angry about how it was done.

- Thiana leave the cottage and heads back to the party. Time goes back to normal and the party heads back to Ramley’s Retreat.
