Campaign Session #15 Recap

Previously on Roll Slayers...

With their mission to save Glass' Wife a technical success, Vim Populi delved deeper into the mountain keep. Deep inside they found a monsterous skeletal mass. They took quite a few hits, but came out on the other end victorious.

And so the Adventure continues...

The group surveyed the room the now-defeated skeletal mass. While Enlee examined the bookcases for a secret passage, Kev pulled Thoril aside to discuss the Artifact. Thoril had already took some note on the strange object and was eager to learn more about it. Observing that the Artifact seemed to siphon off the necrotic energy the prevented they entry to the room. Kev cast Divine Light on the device. It had some effect, but not nearly what it did to the door. They, with the help of Makaria, cast a variety of energy into object, but none reacted like before.

After that the team regrouped at a bookcase where Enlee had indeed found a secret passage. However, the mechanism to unlock the passage was a greater secret than the passage itself. They pulled and pushed at every point on the case, but could not pry it free.

Then Makaria used her Clairvoyance to look behind the bookcase and se what was on the other side. She saw an apothecary's lab. She saw Animals in cages. She saw where the lock on the bookcase was allowing our heroes to locate the latch and unlock it.

Inside, Enlee began to free all the caged animals, Finding a baby panther in the process. The rest of the group searched the shelves and desks. They found quite a few things: A map, some unlabeled potions, an amulet for Ruk and another artifact Thoril referred to as the Clamp, as it clasped onto the other Artifact with ease.

After fiddling with the newly combined artifacts, a small sigils appeared on a screen. no one in the group could read the language of the sigils, but Thoril believe if he could research it at the Enlightened Reserve, he might be able to translate it.

The group to a long, well-deserved rest after this.

...

The next day on their way out, they encountered a strange babel they spoke to them in a strange dialect of primordial. Enlee, who spoke Primordial attempted to communicate with it. Unhappy with it new interlocutor, promptly exploded. Kev healed the group and they made their way outside.

As they shimmered they way across the edge of the mountain, they noticed that the Bulettes had taken an interest in them.

And so the battle Began...

Ruk and Valamir had gone ahead first, so they were closer to the edge of the forest than the keep. everyone else made their way back to the keep. One of the Bulettes charged Ruk and Valimir. The other charged Estinien, Kev and Thoril, who acted as a defense for the rest of the group could climb the rope to the keeps outer wall.

While they didn't kill the beasts, they scared them away. As the group made its way back to the forest, Valamir attempt to draw the creatures out to finish the fight. They ignored his goading.

...So, what shall Vim Populi do now? Seek out more information on the Cult of Storms? The mysterious Artifact? Or see what other kind of trouble awaits them in the Kingdom of Tyr?

Find out next time on... ROLL SLAYERS.
