Next Session: Session 4

We’re doing our fucking performance
It kinda worked!
Combat with Bun the Black and also. A spiny eurypterid that comes out as well
- Absolute bwip!
- Bun the black was a scourge upon the bay area
Send trahern and jabari out to get the pod
He is the salt wizard’s domain, hurts to look in the water
- Able to see that the pod is tethered down to his treasure down below where his hoard is, abt 100ft down
- Jabari swims down, grabs whole congealed mucus hoard, swims back to shore
Pulls the pod ashore, allowing the people inside out
Pull the lever
They slowly wake up over the course of an hour
This pod contains 4 people on it
- First is Bosun Gransul, dwarven man who sees to the repairs on the ship
  - Wouldve been Trahern’s boss
  - Strict bc he used magic to ask the metal to be good
- Yeoman Zath, dwarven person
  - Person in charge of a registry of a ship
- HR Coordinator Braxor
  - Trox woman is someone we can trust
- 1 engineer who was nearby, Guanspio
L: you all alright?
Bosun “fine. Why did you wake us up?”
L: its been 2 years, the ship has been crashed
T: more importantly, the rescue ship will be exploded
L: we kind of need to stop that otherwise it’s gonna be another 20-ish years before any service to get back out to get another rescue ship
“What parts of the ship survived?”
L: well,,,as far as i’m aware, not much, we did recover the antenna at the very least. We’re able to figure out where other people are, but a lot of it is destroyed. We have a central base with Basil
T: this place is very inhabited with Concord of Aedryn wizards
“Is it inhabited?”
L: we’ve only encountered one, over the radio. And we found the remains of where someone lived (shows them the compass) people are teleporting around
Tells them the first mate has gone crazy
Jabari brings braxor along
- “Has lucine been harassing you?”
- J: …no
- “You know you always have a friend in HR!”
- J: thank you braxor
- “Of course. The 2nd we get a printer we’ll print out consent forms!”
- J: alright. Yes. that’ll probably help
- “Is there anything HR needs to know at this moment?”
- J: first mate almanthier called us minions?
- “Not proper terminology, did you feel degraded by it?”
- J: i did
- “Would you like to file a complaint?”
- J: i would love to. He even called me his servant
- “Hmmm. did you feel this was ancestral in nature?”
- J: i did wonder! I dont have any proof but yknow
- “Good to know!”
- J: ty for ur help ms braxor. I feel a lot better after talked
- “Of course. Do you happen to have a knife i could borrow?”
- J: basil may have one? I only have my rapier, im sorry.
- “I’ll find a way, dont worry.”
Grab the rest of the party
Yeoman looks
- “So do you do you have?”
- Just you, and basil
- They tell us that we should use tech to convince the wizard that we’re a wizard as well
Go back to BASIL’s camp
Work on the battery
The bosun wants to go to the antenna, best shot at figuring out the impact site
- WE DROP HIM OFF HERE, WE MUST REMEMBER HE EXISTS
Go to the other drop pod
- Coiling snake of fire
- Flariska, not dangerous but do go around and make a lulling sunlight. Want to warm up ppl
- Also have the ability to knock you unconscious if you stay in their light for too long
- Bwip digs to the pod
  - The seal on the pod is odd
  - The pod seal activated their awake mechanism before their full revive. They wouldve been awake but frozen if the creatures werent there
- She digs a tunnel for the ppl, hits the lever, ready to free someone and gets hit with cryogenic gas
- Bwip found the science team! She pulls them into her hole
  - 2 astronomers, 2 xenobiologists, and 1 geologist
  - B: DO YOU SPEAK PYRRIC
  - Astronomer Fenxsys “...yeah?”
  - B: good morning!!! Can you talk to talk to fire elemental snake things so that they know we’re not a threat
  - Olzii “firesnake things? Fire or sunlight?”
  - B: sunlight?
  - “Flaryscas?”
  - B: yes!
  - “That should be easy. We could tell them theres more in need of warmth, they could search for those. They glow in the dark, we can see where another pod may be.”
  - Fenxsys talking, the creatures float away, wiggle of happiness as they go to look for more
  - The ppl are
    - Xeno-biologist Olzii - specializes in fauna, mammalian genetics mostly
    - Astronomer Chakha - elf - wizard - astrologer and astronomer. She can look at the sun directly
    - Geologist Meleas - halfling
    - Xeno-biologist Zadok - gnome - flora expert
    - Astronomer Fenxsys - elf - planetary astronomy (compositions of atmosphere, etc)
  - “Are we awake early bc of the dead planets?”
  - T: and the anti-air system. Wdym dead planets?
  - “There was life there, it was eaten. It wasnt apparent until we got into orbit of the sun.”
  - “Its why we were called to the front bay.”
  - T: we found an observatory
  - “That would be useful, we only got to look for about half a day.”
  - Fenxsys (elf) “i can go there. I presume you are using solar panels? The sun is a bit different than what we were expecting. It does mean the solar panels could run more effectively to charge the vehicles better.”
  - The land patrol durgible is destroyed, but the 2 buggies inside are in tact
    - They could repair the patrol durgible. Can hold 2 other vehicles and up to 12 passengers
  - Explain the situation
  - J: be wary of the radio. One wizard does not know what tech is, we’re gonna keep it that way so we can ge the survivors they kidnapped. He thinks we’re casting sending over the radio
  - “Does that compass of yours flick in regular intervals?”
  - Yes!
  - Could be a clock
  - Also the wizard servitor Irvex is most likely a clockwork/automaton
  - warn abt Almanthir Mialari
  - Also havent heard from the captain
  - They think theyre probably dead
- Zadok was in cryo sleep due to being a gnome. Would get bored
- Astronomers go to observatory
- Gnome wants to start from the top and go downwards, can see the rocks and see what happens
Engineer presents us smth after some time
- “Put this on the other side of the valley. Its a wave jammer! For us. Stops our messages from getting out unless we want them to. Closed communication loop.”
- Shoot it with electricity and itll go down for sometime
- “U could also. On switch off switch. Big issue is we wont know if it’s off.”
- Guanspio has family tattoos, hes part of the Marrione Family
- “500 should work. I could set up protections.”
- Lucine tries to offer sexual favors in return of hes on a mountain alone. It was a real bad roll. Hes going to get 500 credits + a car to use
- Hes immediately starting a protection racket
Trahern gets grabbed by HR
- “Why do you think some schools of magic are worse than the others?”
- T: mines the coolest!
- Trahern doesnt like WIZARDS
- Trahern is going to get a month’s deduction of pay
- She writes down a consent form abt the meeting with a berry pen
- “I dont think we addressed it on the ship. How would you like to receive thanks?”
- T: IVE NEVER THOUGHT OF IT BEFORE
- “Is there any way in ur culture you wish to be thanked upon!”
- T: exchangement of scrap!
- She gives pieces of metal and wire she found
- T: how do u like to receive thanks!
- “In mine we pound our chest. 3 is customary!”
Gurastoff's Dungeon
- Can see where the pod crashed in the side of the mountain
- It crashed onto a bridge. And see the drag marks on the mountain
- Giant door, says “The wizard Gurastoff’s Lair! Enter for a modest fee of 100gp to speak to his servitor himself.”
- Knock on the door
- Go through the hole, enter
- Lava drake :(
- Go my jabari
- “Who enters!”
- J: hello
- “Why have you entered the vampire wizard’s lair!”
- J: we came to deliver a glorious bounty in exchange for some slaves that you may have, for the wizard lord gurastoff
- “And you cleared it with his servitor?”
- J: yes! We spoke via sending!
- “Why lie to a mighty dragon!”
- J: well. We wish to enter the dungeon of the mighty wizard lord gurastoff
- “Why enter thru the door and not the front door?”
- J: we knocked and no one answered
- “The door is automatic”
- J: since the hole was open, we assumed this was usable and permitted way to enter. Im sure he would fix the hole if it wasnt permitted
- “Would it not break one of the 70 laws of gurastoff?”
- J: if we provided a gift would u overlook this shameful breaking of laws
- This dragon is the wizard equivalent of a minimum wage worker putting on a mascot costume. Just show him smth cool or pay a tithe
- Trahern makes a cool metal statue
- “you understand a mighty wizard’s draconic servitor!” goes down. Comes back up “what year is it btw!”
- J: 1000 years since the wizards arrived
- “Then i have a mere 1000 years to go!”
- J: for what!
- Signed a contract that allow u to ascend from drakedom to draconicdom. Even if wizards are gone they can still become a dragon
- J: also a 2nd one. Also wahts up with the blood fountain
- “Its decrative for those who wish to receive his embrace
- Go past
- Crackling purple fountain
  - Signs posted that say “insert a mere 1k gp and receive the embracing fountain which will grant u eternal life.”
  - Malfunctioning. Drinking this would def be death or being unconscious
- Plants are odd
  - Wizard sponge
  - Named such bc theyre a type of amoeba that scrubs dungeons. Eventually learned how to eat flesh
- Go further down
  - Sign that says “enter 1k gp to enter the inner sanctum!”
