Session 103: Seeking Refuge and Blessing the Dead

 

Session Date: April 8, 2022

In-game date: 22nd of Flamerule, 1491




The Wanderers escaped from the prison by fighting their way through a wave of enforcers. They had one puzzle to deal with but the solution was deduction and arithmetic. They made their way back to the Wild Hunt Nite Club where they healed and rested.

Garren learned Neilum the Undertaker may be conducting a ritual in one of the crypts. Ezriel suggested Garren take this opportunity to put a rest to the ritual and bring peace to his fallen comrades.

The party entered the crypt. Andrasti saw things in the Ethereal Plan so she stepped into it and took a stand against several Lich Hounds. Andrasti unfortunately suffered a major bite from a hound and is currently incapacitated. Treori stepped in and grappled the Lich Hound. The rest of the Wanderers found the secret panel leading to the room Andrasti is in. Currently everyone and the enemy is on the Prime Material Plane.

Session 102: Jail Break

 

Session Date: April 1, 2022

In-game date: 21th of Flamerule, 1491


The wanderers licked their wounds and recovered from the chase party fight. They then proceeded deeper into the prison in search of Senitar. Eventually the PCs found a basin attached to a wall beneath a plaque with a graph. It was a puzzle. What did it mean?

Basin

~231 cubic inches

Andrasti correctly deduced the graph represented the freezing of water. The party poured a mixture of straight and holy water into the basin. Wizrd for Hire froze it. This opened a secret door. Some of the PCs entered into the hallway and chamber beyond where they found an injured Senitar Bladestream. They healed her after confirming her identity.

The party was then ambushed by a cunning enemy; couple of Ooze Masters, an Anti-Paladin, Sword Wraith Warriors and Vampiric Mist. They split the party when someone dispelled the magic holding the prison door open. ElaDyn and Eretria obliterated the mists. The party prevailed. They freed Senitar.

The puzzle portrayed a temperature graph of an unspecified by finite volume of water as it froze. The initial temperature of the water was 50 degrees F. The final temperature after some 900 minutes was 0 degrees F. The main clue was the plateau at 32 degrees F.
