Synopsis

e

Plot

  • Block 6 cont.
    • Dorian spaces out essentially
    • Mist just sits for an hour listening to sounds
  • Block 7
    • Ullanor is Ullanor
  • Blocks 8 and 9
    • I dont know, DM stole Daisy Daisy's player
    • Daisy Daisy wakes Mariana up
    • Dorian’s eyes are completely blue and they are stationary
  • Block 10
    • Mariana and Daisy Daisy plan on telling the rest of the party when they wake up about Dorian
    • It passes largely uneventfully
  • Quill and Orchestra still need 2 more hours for a long rest
  • Mariana wakes Rey up since she thinks that she remembers Rey interacting with Dorian the most
  • Rey mentioned that he was talking on her watch but that Aster and Mist were next so Mariana wakes up Aster then Mist
  • Mist said that he stopped talking mid sentence while talking about where he was from 
  • Aella wakes up asking about where her basket went
  • Mist mentioned how there was wind outside and it sounded like screaming
  • Aella thinks about wind and the last time she heard screaming and says it should be fine since there isnt any water around
  • There is very faint lettering in the eye, its too faint to see, she asks Aster to help, the text looks reversed, it is in a language they don’t know and its like .5 font
  • “Oops I guess”-Aella
  • Daisy Daisy also heard the screams and saw ripples in the ceiling
  • Extra info/reminder-the ceiling is like 20 ft above and the only things that go through the ceiling are the stones
  • The area in the stones now feels safe, there is a different atmosphere, it feels like a bunker, like the outside is not as good as here but that here is something
  • All of us except Quill, Dorian and Orchestra walk through the sand after Aella
  • It feels like we are swimming through powder, like walking through a waterfall, you can’t breath while walking through and the moment you feel like you can’t breath you walk out and it opens out to the vast sight of sand. It looks like an endless sea of yellow sand, a field of endless sand
  • Aella notices shapes come into being then fall away again, a face looking back at you a pointed nose and ears and a shiteating grin on its face. A smudge can be seen in the distance that seems relatively stable. There is also for a moment a flash of blue, almost navy blue, in the corner of her eye
  • Rey also looks around, Aella guides her vision towards both the blue and the smudge, Rey looks towards the smudge
    • Its hard to make out, this is a by nature, chaotic landscape, she is able to land on it, it feels like it moves almost, its like a tree, there are no leaves but its like a grey gnarled tree
    • DM stole Rey's player
    • There is something else, there was a blue thing, it looked almost like a bird but it went away
  • We go back into the waystone circle
  • Quill was looking for eggs
  • Aella mentioned that this area probably won’t stay for long
  • Eggs
  • Mariana is taking a closer look at the monoliths, she feels a sense of calm kind of originates from them in some way, it seems like its projecting a sense of calm in some capacity
  • Aella asks if Astraea would like to cast identify on the waystones and also on the yellow gem diamond thing
  • Aella asked if Aster found any spell scrolls, they found a few
  • Astraea has a list of things to identify, the waystones, the yellow gem diamond thing, maybe the thing Daisy Daisy has that is why she is there, possibly the spell scrolls too
  • Aster is asking Rey to look at the book as well, Rey probably wouldn’t look to far into the spells in the book, she is going to look at the leyline map
    • It isnt a map of anywhere we’ve been and it probably isnt a map of where we are since it seems 
  • Astraea is looking at the yellow diamond thing
    • The thing inside of it pulses, as it completes the shape dims and compresses
    • This is a storage vessel of somekind, inside this diamond is a creature stored in pure magical form, spcifically a being of pure earth, upon the container breaking it will be called back to its form and be able to answer to opener of the gem for a short time
    • The Waystone is extremely old magic beyond the reach of identify, older than the spells we cast, the carvings at the top glow a little bit before fading back while casting identify on it.
    • Aella asks for the diamond back and she puts it with her stuff
    • First spell scroll is featherfall
    • Abjurative spell scroll holds shield of faith (somehow)
    • Strongest spell scroll, starts vibrating is a 5th lvl spell, maelstrom
  • Quill walks up to Rey, he mentions how Rey mentioned a bird, Quill, Mist and Rey went looking for eggs(player went to one on one and couldn’t take notes) egg!
  • Egg hunt
    • There is an egg hunt music
    • Rey could have sworn the tree was directly in front but its now rotated and slightly further away, we came out of the same place as last time
    • The same bird circling up near the sand, almost like a osprey might, maybe a bit bigger 
    • Quill sees for a moment, a figure, just around the bend of the sand wall, a head with an arm and spikes all over, almost like horns 
    • The edge of the sand that Rey and Mist saw before we went in the sand walls is not visible anymore
    • We are going after the guy, stealthy like, there isnt someone there
    • Mist feels something shift underneath her and looking back there is a patch of yellow glass where we used to be standing like it got struck b ylightning, looking back the glass is gone
    • All of us felt a shift and Quill swiped the ground, underneath the sand was the yellow glass again
    • The ground shifts again, a column of sand emerges from the ground and a pass of energy flows through it as it becomes a twisted spire of glass
    • Quill runs ahead a bit to look at the glass, its like a rough column of crystals, despite it definitely being glass, it has a crystalline shape to it, he hears a crash as he gets close to it
    • The column shatters into yellow glass hitting everyone, the shards that dont hit people turn back into sand
    • Quill and Mist are hurt and Rey is unconscious
    • Quill grabs Rey and jumps back through the sand into the camp
    • A large crystalline creature comes out of the sand
    • Aella heals Rey and runs through and sees the creature slashing an unconcious Mist, she attempts to hit it but it doesnt do anything
    • Rey is awake again and everyone who was inside the camp has now made it to Rey who is covered in glass, she runs back through the sand and slides through the creatures legs and rips into Mists side pouch and grabs the ointment and puts it on Mist
    • Quill runs back through the sand and jumps onto the creature and grapples it, he is going to do some fancy stuff, release the creature and run 10 ft away
    • Its going up to Quill now
    • From the top, it layer by layer starting at the top collapses into sand
    • It eventually came back up and shattered again downing Quill and Astraea
    • Both are conscious again and now only Mariana, Daisy Daisy, and Aella are outside of the sand wall
    • Aella just did a shit ton of damage to it and it looks still pretty ok just a bit more jagged the before
    • Everyone made it back inside the sand
