Sessions 68-69: Solas, Ithronel 8

 A summary of past few sessions:

6 days ago, the group visited Shel Alari to learn more about the future Peace Talks between the Seldarine and the Drow/Unseelie, as well as searching the library for more information about dragons and the drow. Whilst in Shel’Alari, the group met Elered, a young and talented half-elf with an interest for outfits, enchantments, and an eagerness to see the world outside Shel’Alari. Elered accompanied the group to Cathrill, On their way to Cathrill, however, the group was once more approached by the two druids of Yigdrasiil they had met before. They were given a balm that could protect them against corruption, and the druids also revealed the discovery that one ingredient in particular could be vital in concocting a cure for the corruption: Yemoja’s Tears. The druids hoped they could find more of this ingredient at the sunken temple, and asked the group to pursue this.

-        On their way to Cathrill, the group came across an aggressive werebear, and Hazel was bit.

-        After spending some time resting in Cathrill, as well as helping some Multruvian refugees, the group set course towards lake Avaranthia. During their journey, Hazel discovered she was now the carrier of Lycanthropy, and can herself now turn into a werebear. This lead to the group being approached by Yinfaren, a werebear from Mossgrove, a werebear settlement where they all live in peace, feast together and have otherwise no interest in outsiders. Hazel learned a few things about her new abilities and the moon she’s under (Avalan).

-        Lennie noticed during one of their nights that they were being observed by a spell.

-        The group continued their way to the lake, and made the delivery of Hazel’s blueprints to Tincan, the construct who likes to take on the disguise of a halfling. Hazel had the harrowing realization that Tincan does indeed look like a halfling she used to know, and that Tincan has been programmed to “obey” a master.

-        Upon arrival at the lake, the group summoned a boat from a magical feather token gifted to Elenion by Selune a few weeks prior. On their way to the temple’s location in the lake, the group was attacked by sahuagin with corrupted weapons. During their descent to the temple, they saw more of these sahuagin, as well as undead priests near the entrance.

-        Stealthily, the group gained entrance to the temple, through a door that functioned like a teleportation device activated by their blodrur weapon.

-        Inside the temple, the group encountered a few foes, such as the sahuagin and undead priests. Hazel noticed that some of the weapons they were using did not hurt her. There were some traps in the temple, as well as some undead tentacles in the central area of the top floor.

-        Once they descended to the lower floor, the group encountered a beholder and its basilisk pet. The corner of the room had a massive carcass of a decomposing kraken, as well as a very obvious hole in the wall and some form of magical barrier.

-        After a long battle, the beholder was defeated, and the group was able to search around the now silent lower chamber of the temple. Pinkerton, the summoned Duergar survived the battle as well.

-        The group found what looked like a garden with some living and some wilted plants, as well as a table with some simple tools probably used for mixing ingredients (mortar and pestle, vials, bowls).

-        A notebook was found on a body near this garden. Additionally, there is a modified teleportation circle here.
