The Venassi Raid Part 1

## Episode 3 - The FeyWild West

A DMP Strike Team steps out from the feywild into the portal room of the Venassi headquarters in Duskdown. The lighting is turned from the omnipresent yellow like to red. Captain Wilde takes point and leads the Strike Team into headquarters saying, "Be careful the defenses have been activated." After a short ways, he asks for one of Rhenalle's javelins. With it, he activates a flame trap ahead of them and then marks trigger stone, before continuing on. They arrive at an intersection, to the left is a hidden entrance as well as some of the sleeping quarters, the main hall area, and the library. There are several other doorways, one leads to the main exit. Another leads to a twisting series of hallways that goes to the crystal chamber but the chamber itself is not on Talia’s map. Here the team splits, Rhenalle and five others go to the dormitories while the rest with Captain Wilde go to the library. As Rhenalle walks away, James warns her lead with her javelin because there are a lot of traps causing Talia to raise an eyebrow. Captain Wilde is marking trap stones as he goes without having to test them first. Through several twists and turns they finally see two individuals wearing Venassi uniforms. Seline and Talia attack killing one and injuring the other. Captain Wilde raises his hands to fire, a trail of blue energy close down his arm to his hand lighting previously invisible glyphs on his arm and forming a pistol in his right hand. There is a smell of brimstone, as the gun in his hand hand is summoned from smoke like Death's Whisper. One fires a magic shot and the other a fire shot killing the Venassi dwarf. They move on until they arrive at the chamber the contains the secret entrance to the outside. Two of the Venassi here are wearing a heavier version of the armor Walker was wearing when he attacked Talia and a couple of others. As the team enters the room they appear to be just finishing up an incantation. One of them touches of stone and it starts to glow with green energy. The energy travels across the floor past the Strike Team to a large stone statue that begins to activate and step away from the wall. The Venassi cannot help but stare in horror as Seline walks up to the golem still activating, boops it. The activating energy drains away and the golem becomes a statue once more. Talia and James shoot several of them before they decide to fall back. One of them activates 3 jets of fire to attempt to slow the strike team. Khauri jumps between the jets of flame in pursuit. Seline strikes one down with Toll the Dead and Talia takes down the other lesser armored one. Khauri deactivates the flame jets as the Venassi defenders continue their retreat. As a Strike Team enters the hallway where the flame Jets were new lines of flame activate hitting several of them. They continued on into the main hall chamber. Tables and chairs are gone but the pool remains with natural sunlight filtering in from the skylight. Two more Venassi in robes stand opposite each other across the pool. They slashed their wrists completing the incantation with their blood dripping into the water. Seline takes wing, casting Spirit Guardians as she Goes.

Even as she says it the water below her begins to bubble. A large iron golem with the Venassi symbol on a plate as a shield and a sword rises from the pool... the DMP Strike Team brings down the iron golem and all the Venassi in the room but not without Emmett damaging his hand in the process. Talia is able to revivify one of the Venassi who bit his tongue off during the battle. On the bodies, they find the amulets, a staff with the chunk of glowing crystal at the top, two small spell books, 4 miscellaneous guns, two hundred gold pieces and two undecided magical items .
