Who attended:

  • Saera (Nyx)
  • Darin (Tink)
  • Shannon (Zelanis)

What happened:

The party awoke from a long rest. Tink sends his owl up the spinal column of Landro to see what is above. His owl sees there are three levels above them. The next floor up has a large stone table, the one above that has a unmoving warfordged, and the highest floor has a huge contraption. Tink commands his owl to attach a rope to the next floor up and the party climbs up to the next floor.

There is a large stone table in the room with maps on it. When Tink goes to look at the maps, the table comes alive and becomes a stone golem. The party is able to quickly destroy the golem. Tink looks at the maps and discovers they are maps of Cyre from before the Day of Mourning. He takes them. The party explores some of this floor and find some old holding cells. They then decide to go up back up the spinal column to the next floor.

Tink goes first and triggers a trap. He is shot down by a water cannon back to the floor below the rest of the party. Zelanis decides to climb up next and casts Mage hand to tag along with her. The trap was already triggered, so she reaches the top and find Glaive waiting for her. Zel slaps Glaive with her Mage Hand (doing no damage, just pissing Glaive off). The party quickly climbs the rope to reach Zelanis. Filch runs and hides. Zelanis is grappled by Glaive and dragged to a nearby open air ledge. Tink desperately tries to pull Zelanis back in, but fails. Burton casts Enhance Ability and Bardic Knowledge on Zelanis to try and help her break free of the grapple. Zelanis tries to charm Glaive, but she is immune. Nyx attempts to push Glaive away from the edge, but fails. Zel finally breaks free from the grapple, just as Glaive attempts to throw her off. Burton give Zel more Bardic Inspiration. The party tries to push Glaive off the edge, but is unsuccessful. Zel angrily attacks Glaive. Glaive then grapples Zelanis again. More attacks and misses from the party. Zelanis breaks free. Burton casts Bardic Inspiration again. Nyx goes into a rage and finally shoves Glaive off the ledge and she plumets to her death.

The party is rattled, but continues on. They climb up another floor, this time Tink going first. Here they find a giant oversized brain and the rod piece is floating above it. When the party enters the room a the gray matter manifests itself into a physical entity and asks the party why are you here? The party explains they are on a mission to collect the rod in this room. Landro explains that he has been watching them ever since they first entered Landro and he was unsure if they were friend or foe. After watching their actions, he has decided that they are friends. And offers an exchange: the rod for a secret. Burton insightfully believes Landro and agrees to give up a secret. Landro takes a tentacle and touches Burtons head. Burton is unharmed and Landro learns of the party's last secret gathered.

Landro thanks the party. He then warns them that if the rod is removed that four guardians will attack and the Landro shutdown sequence will start. The colossus itself will self destruct in one minute. Tink is concerned that Landro's consciousness will be destroyed if that happens. Landro asks if he can travel with the party. He tells them they need to find an id crystal. There happens to be one in Landro's left foot. Landro can not leave the graymatter engine room, but if the party can find the id crystal, then Landro can transfer his consciousness into the crystal. The party agrees to help Landro before taking the rod piece.
