DnD 6/26/2022 Session 95

It is the first day with no Rain.

We are in Nashear’s office still discussing the state of the city and what we should do. Nashear is telling us the worst hit areas are the neverdeath graveyard flooding into the arcanist district, and the Black Lake District. Nashear also says that Leilon is in his sphere of influence but out of his authority and we should seek the Lord’s Alliance. He is going to give us a writ to permit his authority on his behalf. We also speak about the entrances to the underdark which are holes and elevators leading all the way down into the Underdark. Nashear discusses how difficult this is with us levying allegations against half of his cabinet staff. He then asks us if we have anyone we know would be willing to help Neverwinter. We mention that Brohain and Sundabar, as well as Otto’s Order of Abraxis would potentially help. We then speak about the Blue Swallows and our interesting relationship between us and them. He mentions Perinald Dellius might be working with the Zentarim and Nashear also knows of Nathaniel Lupin by reputation. Later on Merius mentions that maybe someone from the feywild might be willing to help. Nashear alleges that the feywild and the daughters of the moon are stories. Merius uses the phase shift wand to ‘prove’ it.

On the way out, Brohain requests for Otto to Sending Darruk Cloudbeard in order to request help for the city of Neverwinter due to the flood. Darruk agrees and is sending supplies by griffin and should arrive in a number of weeks.We go and talk to the steward. He leads us to the paper room and pens the deed papers,and we all sign our name. He hands the document to Rowan and we hold onto it. We leave the castle and hassle the guard a little bit and Merius considers stealing the guard’s gold that he paid him earlier. We then head to the southern bridge and start making our way toward the graveyard where we need to figure out how to cross the water. We find a halfling woman with a large raft and we load up as she offers it to be free. We arrive at the neverdeath graveyard.

We discuss how to clear the drainage port below the Statue of the Beggar King. Otto gives Brohain his mask and the mask works below the water. Brohain attempts to find the drainage vent but cannot seem to find it. Otto tosses his shield to Brohain which has a glowstone on it. Brohain gives it a try. Bohain still can’t find it bbt Ereb gives him very specific instructions and then he finds it. Brohain finds the hole and sees the chamber below it but comes back up before going back down as it is very dark and unsure what to do. Merius attempts to cast light but notices something weird about the spells and the weave. Something about unsafe magic that is raw and dangerous unlike the magic he normally uses. Merius tells us we should solve this problem without magic. We brainstorm and Aziola goes to ‘the bathroom’ as she tests the rod on the water nearby. We all notice. We then tie a rope to brohain and he goes back underwater into the chamber below the statue. Its very dark but brohain notices the calcified and tarnished gearwork. He can’t figure out how they work. He also sees a doorway that seems closed with a solid stone piece.

Merius goes down into the chamber next but he reads the sequence that Nashear gave us for the aqueducts. He notices the doorway has some magic around it and was moved before the anti magic zone was in place in the graveyard. He attempts to clear some of the silt without damaging the gears. He uses a dagger to gingerly clear the silt from the gears. He notices a rectangle/square spot. He comes back to the top and inquires about the cube from Azziola, which she gives to him. It doesn’t fit. He comes back up and gets the music box which seems to fit. He notices small holes in the sides of the music box before putting it in. He slots in the music box and adjusts the links so they slot into the music box. He puts in the crank and begins turning the crank. He sees the gears turning as the music oxes playing and the bigger gears begin to turn. He sees a little stone that he missed and quickly pops the stone to keep it working. He then hears the water moving in the background and decides to head back up to the raft. He tells us what has been happening. We realize that the water might be drained into the tower and not be ready to receive that water. We begin to head back to the tower.
