Starships

A month after the Acolytes in Sexy Tights defeated Queen Nekros, they receive a divine mission from Kruphix to investigate the mysterious red dome that's appeared over Waterdeep. On their way to the city-state, they stop at Candlekeep Library to see if they have any intel. Luckily, they find what they need and stop Stonky Nobtopper from launching one of the library's towers into space.

## Major Plot Points

* It's been a month since they defeated Queen Nekros and The Acolytes in Sexy Tights regrouped for brunch at Barbara Duke's new Came-A-Lot tavern in Setessa.
* Dikarus Bottombane spent the month starting therapy. With his friends busy, he found it hard to break the bad habit of stealing so he started donating 51 percent of his ill-gotten gains to charity.
* Aryan Grande spent the month writing new music and working on her accent to match her new creative direction.
* SBG3 was busy opening new Sprocket in Your Pocket locations and making new inventions.
* Muchomucho M Amor spent a lot of time in the astral plane and up the charge for his tarot readings.
* Barb spent the whole month in a spa and had no contact with anyone else.
* Sybil Ringwell dedicated herself to Lunasa and spreading her word (and lycanthropy).
* Clows Kufas spent most of his time meditating in his shell and becoming closer to Lunasa.
* Juxxtina spent the month in a maternity spa.
* The group's brunch was interrupted by Alpha Centauri. The Keeper of Forbidden Knowledge gave the party a divine mission from Kruphix himself. The god of mystery and secrets tasked them to investigate the red dome that has appeared over the city-state of Waterdeep. The dome prevented any kind of mortal or divine divination or scrying magic. Everything in the dome is being severed from reality. Kruphix is concerned the red dome will expand to cover the world.
* SBG3 decided to stay behind to continue working on his growing business and to worship Timeless Beauty and Grandfather Clock.
* Dead Amy introduced herself to the party and volunteered to come along as part of her plan to conquer the world. The party debated about having a zombie join the team but they eventually agreed to let her come along.
* Alpha Centauri told the party to head to Candlekeep Library first. Their collection of knowledge may prove useful.
* While sailing to the Candlekeep Library, the party found two cows swimming by a capsized canoe. Sybil, Dead Amy, and Clows helped the cows aboard. Sybil polymorphed one into a peasant child. The cow explained a green hag turned her and her twin sister into cows after seeing them canoe in cow print bikinis. She asked them to remove the curse with the party's magic. She also asked they leave her sister a cow so she could be the best canoeist. Sybil broke the curse on the sister who was still a cow.
* Frightened by Barb and Dead Amy, the peasant child sister jumped over board. Unfortunately, she dived right onto one of Clows' floating disks and died. Dead Amy then ate her. The twin who was still alive freaked out so Sybil manipulated her memories to make her forget all of that and think her sister was lost at sea.
* Closer to Candlekeep, the party found a dwarf named Burron Sternmettle floating on some debris. Barb noticed he was clutching a book and Burron gave it to her in exchange for coming aboard. Muchomucho read the book and saw it was schematics and blueprints of Candlekeep. One of the library's towers had been turned into a spacecraft. Burron explained a Hadar cultist named Stonky Nobtopper was planning on sending a tower full of books and humanoid sacrifices into space and flying it into the fading star to keep it alive. Burron shared the tower housed tomes on astrology, astronomy, and demonology.
* When they docked at Candlekeep, an earthquake struck the library. Barb asked Master Librarian Libro Cognisos about Stonky Nobtopper. Libro explained he went missing a few months ago right around the time the first of these regular earthquakes hit. The quakes damaged the Burnbright Tower so badly they had to condemn it.
* Using a very complicated password Burron gave them, the party entered Burnbright Tower. Barb convinced the cultists in the first level she was one of them and had brought in some new recruits/sacrifices. Unfortunately, Dead Amy blew their cover by coming onto one of the cultists (all members are promised to Stonky). One of the cultists launched a fireball at the party but Clows used counter spell to negate it. The tortle wizard then cast magnify gravity to hurt the cultists. A second cultist cast fire ball successfully and damaged most of the party. Aryan's synaptic static shocked them with psychic pain. Muchomucho unleashed a chromatic orb and ended a cultist. Juxxtina killed the second cultist with her guided bolt. Sybil blighted the third cultist and Dikarus threw a psychic blade at him. Dead Amy knocked him out with her great sword.
* Barb interrogated the third cultist until Dead Amy accidentally bit him to death. The elderly tiefling was forced to finish her bit on one of the three other cultists who were chained to chairs in preparation for takeoff.
* The party then found Stonky's personal chambers. Sybil destroyed a well without a lid and it caused the tower to start flooding. Dead Amy found a checklist and realized the tower was due to launch very soon. Muchomucho collected some water and stole 99 good berries. He also found a Heroes' Feast spell scroll.
* In the next room, the party found a telescope. Barb found a key hidden in it that could shut down a robot guardian hidden somewhere in the tower. They changed some numbers on a steering wheel connected to telescope before moving on.
* The Acolytes teleported into the tower's basement and came face to face with the skitterbug robot. After a few rounds of battle, Clows was able to shut it down thanks to Sybil's Bigby's Hand.
* Our heroes then saved half a dozen captives from a cramped cage. Sybil turned them all into werewolves. Muchomucho gave them some good berries to revitalize them. The party teamed up with the new werewolves and attacked Stonky's command center. The gnome warlock activated an emergency launch sequence.
* The tower launched but the group changed the coordinates on the steering wheel so the tower then started flying towards the sea. Aryan used her wild magic potion to make her, Juxxtina, Barb, and Sybil resistance to all damage. Clows cast slow on the command panel and depowered the dragon torches (rockets). Muchomucho strained himself to use divination magic and ask for Kruphix's intervention. The god safely guided the tower back to its original location. Stonky activated the tower's self destruct but Kruphix focused the blast just on the deranged gnome.
* Libro invited the party to stay the night at Candlekeep so they could rest after their harrowing experience. He and his team found the book Tasha's Guide to Demonology that had some pertinent info about the red dome over Waterdeep. Muchomucho read it and discovered the Harlot Witch prophecy: When the Harlot Witch turns the world red with desire, the Demon Prince shall rise again. Thanks to Muchomucho's arcane knowledge, he knew this was a reference to the demon Bedlam who oversees a domain of decadence, debauchery, and desire.
