  • Steve (Burton)
  • Saera (Nyx)
  • Shannon (Zelanis)

What happened:

The party uses the 2nd piece of the rod as a compass and it leads them to Landro, a huge colossus that is embedded into the mountains. Only the top half of Landro is visible as they approach the mountains.

There is a large cave at the base of the mountain with liquid graymatter dribbling out. The party investigates the liquid graymatter and decide that the graymatter is pollution. Good for the machine, but bad for the body. Tink takes a vial of the graymatter. It is completely dark inside. Tink casts light on Burton.

Zelanis goes in first to scout things out. As she sneaks around, she finds the corpses of recently fallen Cryan soldiers. Zelanis goes back to bring the rest of the party to investigate. She uses her new catch phrase, "Get Yo Ass In Here". The party discovers that these soldiers have been magically preserved. Tink attempts to dispel magic, but nothing happens. The party realizes that the magic around Landro is preserving these corpses. Zelanis attempts to loot the bodies and two animated swords and two suits of animated armor spring to life and attack Zelanis. The party is quickly defeats the animated constructs.

Tink uses his owl to scout out ahead. There are two tunnels, one of them leads to some metal walls and there are aggressive sounds coming from behind it. The party decides to follow the liquid graymatter.

Tink uses his owl again to scout the direction that they are headed. Nyx gets bored and wanders off deep in the caves. She finds a comatose warfordged. Nyx wakes him. She finds out that his name is Filch and he was separated from his friend, Mercy, when the Day of Morning happened. The stress of the situation caused Filch’s comatose state. Nyx tells him to come with her. The Zel and Burton don't want to leave Tink while he communicating with his owl, so they wait till his owl returns before the go to find Nyx. They regroup in a tunnel and Nyx introduces them to Filch. Filch seems super nervous and anxious, but the party believes him.

Then the party is ambushed on both sides of the tunnel they're in. Filch flees further into the caves. After a quick round back and forth, the attackers flee back into the tunnels. Nyx wants to go find Filch. The rest of the party wants to follow the graymatter, which happens to be the same direction that Filch ran.

The party finds a pool of graymatter that has pulverized dragonshards in it. There is some melted weapons near by. As the party investigates the pool, Nyx is calling out for Filch and goes looking for him. She wanders into a blazerbear's den. Filch is comatose in the corner of the blazerbear's den. The blazebear immediately attacks her. The party comes to her rescue. A long battle they party is able to defeat the blazebear. Everyone is ready for a long rest. The party drags the corpse of the blazebear further into the cave to try and block their presence. The party tells Nyx not to wake Filch up till after they have rested, they don't want him to panic again. Then the party attempts to take a long rest.
