title: Log
collapse: open
#### Players: 
#### Starting_Location: [[Vanishing Isles|Island of Pennance]] 

We looted and saved people from the [[Vanishing Isles|Island of Pennance]] before being thrown to the astral sea.

We woke up at the armoury and picked up the 3 sending stones from the armoury. Sending stones were all labelled

• L

• G

• R

• Check if the party has any of the other sending stones

• See if I can re-work sending stones to work together - potentially take a few weeks

Found letters regarding a Dragon Encased in Amber.

Searching the vault we found

• Pierce
  • Wand of Magic Missiles
• Spear of fortune
• Shovel of power
• 4 oil flasks
• 6 potions of healing
• 1 potion of superior healing
• Scimitar of Mage Slayer

We went to a workshop used to construct automatons. In it was a room that was immaculate, it had a Unseen Servant charm on the location to clean the area.

I don’t think anything of value was taken from here?

We made our way to a large pit, in the bottom was a large automaton that may have been aggressive. Ggnurk used heat metal to kill it from a far. The body had no usable parts.

We made our way through a trapped area into a workshop/library. It was guarded by a demon illusion, Pierce went in alone and cast dispel magic on it as a self proclaimed “demon expert”, however was quickly overcome by toxic gas and had to get help. The gas cleared and we searched the room.

Using detect magic Pierce found a secret room containing some magical items. We spent some time identifying these

• Bag of holding that Pierce took
• Gauntlet that can be affixed to an automaton, this was given to Barbo in case of hand to hand
• Scroll of Arcane Lock
• Gold lamp that does not go out work 100 gp. Arbor walked in and took this
• 500 gp of gems
• Innovating Arcane Constructs
• Fighting Prisoner Ledger

Pierce also filled the bag of holding with various books from the library to have a repository of arcane knowledge with the party.

We might our way through large fields of sage sage and took some Sage sage Seeds. Ggnurk ate some and got high af.

• Process the sage sage into a potion
  • Get potion making equipment

In the fields we hid from something very large, it didn’t find us.

A tower marked the surface, Ggnurk searched it but didn’t find anything.

Inside we fought a banshee, it was almost TPK with 3/4 of the party down from the initial scream. Luckily Arbor remained up and got us back to our feet.

The inside of the prion was guarded by a mirror of apathy that sapped magically energy.

We searched nearby rooms and found that something undead guards core.

One room was locked by a riddle the party solved, in it was plenty of necromantic artefacts. We also found a lead lined box containing the Dagger of three dread. There was a dead body with Flesh fruit growing on it, we took one each. Pierce also found Diamond Dust and Bone Dust. The necromantic room had a fountain of tainted blood, Pierce took some of this blood in a vial.

In the centre of the room was a Dread Circle. This is used to combine undead and has runes for the different schools of magic, Pierce knew of the odd property that the nth rune was always destroyed on these. This Dread circle followed this pattern as well. Pierce made notes about the circle in the Book of Ancient Secrets knowing it was rare to find one in such intact condition.

We entered the core and were quickly in combat with with “goo skeletons” that were kept in large glass cylinders. During combat, a larger skeleton arouse from the pool of goo which had multiple heads and extra arms and legs, it was holding a tablet and also basic weaponry. The tablet was destroyed when the skeleton was.

After defeating them we entered into another room with an amber sphere on the centre, runes on the wall and a transparent pane holding a very large brain.

Pierce cast identify on the sphere, in it was a sleeping dragon. The item is most likely the previously mentioned Dragon Encased in Amber. The spell contained on the sphere was Haldrons Greater Confinement.

A chest was opened by both Pierce and Ggnurk which contained 3 spell scrolls.

• Scroll of Augury
• Scroll of Feighn Death
• Scroll of Bigbys Hand

While Pierce examined runes, the brain and the Dragon Encased in Amber, Ggnurk became enamoured by the picture of a vault with piles of gold and jewels. He tested it and found it to be a pocked dimension, and in blind excitement bounded in, with his bag of holding. A hole ripped in spacetime and we were all sucked into the astral plane
