• “I would like to… Are you [Mariana] watching me?”-Devin's player
• Quill evades Mariana’s line of sight
  • Walks between 2 lights + fades into shadow. For flavor
• He goes to find Maeve and experiments on his chest pain; none is felt
  • Slowly lets grip go, does not let go completely
  • No chest pain
• Rest over
• Quill finds 25 standard arrows in a quiver
• Instead of Lya, there is a yellow elf with short hair in her bed, that doesnt really look like Lya
• Aster is the only one who recognizes Lya as herself then they start drawing her
• She wakes up and Meph immediately asks “why are you like this”
• Are we killing big blue or talking to them
  • Talk first
• 2 more gems lit on behut
• Going to crypt
• If talk no work then we know to cover our ears because scream

  • Quill
  • Maeve
  • Mariana
  • Dorian 
• Lya skiff
  • DD
  • Aella
  • Gelvrever
  • Aster
• We’re skiffing
• There’s something different about the expanse
  • Before: shifting dunes everywhere, no landmarks
  • Now: small tiles of sandstone everywhere, it would be more difficult to traverse
  • The tiles almost form an almost landscape
• Lya goes to get Vasalor
• He knows what the tiles are
  • ‘We’re bringing the avocado here’
  • The advocatus is a being of elemental earth
• Second skiff -> crab

• The rest of people are in crab
  • Aster driver
  • Mariana driver
  • Dorian
  • Aella 
  • Maeve
  • Lya
• Glelvrever is looking at the crab and dorian is looking at the skiff
• Meph is going to teach Quill and DD how to navigate through the sand by watching the changing winds and weird sand from ceiling stuff
  • Quill understands it pretty well but DD doesn’t understand it super well
  • DD understands what is being taught but doesn’t fully understand how
• Are we about to smack into people??
• There is some figure in between the skiff and the crab
• Right between the two skiffs is a walking corpse, it seems just like a dried out skeleton
• As the skiff goes past it above it, it reaches for a sword
• The skeleton starts to stalk straight towards the skiff, and there is a disturbance in the sand under it, we are also in that area of disturbance in the sand
• Skiff is 30 ft away from skeleton
• The creature closes the distance for 8d4 damage (quill’s difficult terrain spell) and walks straight up to Meph and the skiff
• Skeleton points sword up and summons wind from the sky that starts ripping at skiff sail, skiff people dex save
• ≥Skiff people are within 10 ft of the skeleton and Quill is 5 ft away
• 3 more skeletons emerge and there is a crouched figure on top of the dune to the right, the figure is 70ft away from Quill
• One of the new skeletons go towards the crab and attack crab the same way
• Quill loses concentration, spikes gone
• Maeve casts turn undead (3 turned)
• Dorian casts crown of madness on skeleton, has to attack whoever is in melee range, caster’s choice, bonus actions bardic inspiration on Quill
• Thing on hill sprints down faster than expected and lands on top of the ground, attacks Lya, she has to con save (knife is poisoned)
• Second attack: same thing, con save failed, Lya paralyzed by raw pain for 1 turn
• It has bad Gaze if you look at it wrong, it has bad effects if you look at this thing, it feels like almost sleepy (Lya warns them)
• Aella looks at the figure and she does not feel the pain of sleeping weirdly
• Bang bang in the crab and Aster moves the crab, all party members on top of the crab are still on the crab but the figure falls off the crab
• Mariana is trying to run it over with the crab for 8 damage and it’s under the crab
• Crowned guy is immune to charm, removes crown mask of madness + breaks it, attacks skiff with magical sand
• Maeve heals Lya and stabs crab guy
• Dorian dissonant whispers crab guy, they run 80ft onto skiff
• Gelverever smacks zoomy guy
• It’s thing time, Quill is paralyzed
• Cat down :(
• Lya cant do a sneak attack because of Quill being dead
• She does 20 damage anyway
• Aella lightning javelin hits crouched guy
• Oops it was a line attack
• Yay one skeleton down
• Aella heals Meph
• Crab moves forward 30ft
  • 30ft to the skiff, 50ft to lanky boi
• It’s not warlock time
• DD takes Meph’s healing syringe + gives to Quill
• We win :)
• Skiff sail is fine
• Obelisk found!
• 6 obelisks later: ziggurat that’s actually there this time
• Large hole at its base, gargantuan jade mechs
  • Quill and Mariana recognize the jade as the hand they saw when they went off looking at stuff 
• Approach hole
• The room the hole is in is the same room of the crypt that the party had been in before, the hole that the party came in from the ceiling is gone, the lid of the box has been fixed and is leaning against the box
• They knock and talk, no response
• Sunder knocks on the door, it makes a sound, no response
• The almost jade substance that the figures are made of is around the strength of stone, when hit with DD’s hammer it doesnt shatter, its some sort of amalgam of metal and stone, it is about the weight of metal and creates sounds similar to metal
• We get pieces of the stuff
• (it‘s almost Brillig btw)
• Bomb ready, leave room and go 15 feet from corner on the other side of building to avoid shrapnel
• Lya will mage hand tinderbox then book it 90ft
• > 6 second fuse

"So we should knock on their door and go, 'Hey there! Can you give us your balls?'" - Meph
