Act 2 - Chapter Twenty-One - That's a big spider (Nov 20, 2021)
-The group makes their way to the Reapers Guild in Pacapa
to collect the Reaper’s contract for the Yugoloth
·
A harengon is working at the front desk and
inspects the Yugoloth’s tongue and lungs, performs a small biopsy, and rewards
the group coin
-The group then goes over to the
Hospital House to get some good grub (seafood, lobster, crab, fish, yum!)
·
Kel gets a bit drunk on light ale
·
Lotty goes over to the bar and gets shots of
peach snaps
·
Kel gets too drunk and falls asleep
·
Upon waking up, Lotty finds a note from Sailing
·
“I can’t do this anymore. I am done with
adventuring. I wish you guys the best.”
·
The group is now down to 3 members
-Order of
the Arcania
·
Cade wants to join the Order of the Arcania, so
he sends a sending message to Ezra asking if there is a contact in Palirano
·
Ezra tells him to look for Vyria, a local sage
·
Cade follows up with another message asking
about a contact in Pacapa!
·
Ezra says to look for Ashton (don’t mention
Vyria to Ashton though)
·
Cade finds Ashton, a 7-foot bugbear in wizardly
robes
·
To preserve and develop lost magic/create new
magic is what this order wants to do
·
Ashton mentions that Cade is different from the
God-forged. Cade is almost humanoid. Other constructs follow their programming,
but Cade isn’t following a program.
·
Cade offers his Flail and Googles of Nightvision
to Ashton to get into the order
·
Ashton gives Cade the Arcane Eye brand and
inducts him into the order as an Apprentice!
-The group makes their way to the
Harbor of Haggling to meet up with Fallah
·
Fallah tells them that Sepsis and Sepia have
made a business arrangement with our friend, the green dragon
·
She also let them know that the Head of the
Divine Pansophical was killed, assassinated by Draugh Poison
·
She says Elric is wanted for questioning, but
also notes that anybody can pick up Draugh poison
·
Cade tells Fallah about the Demonomicon that
changed Elric, and she asks to see the book
·
Lotty hands Fallah the book
·
After examining it, Fallah says that the book is
empty
·
Feeling betrayed by Elric, Lotty throws the book
into the ocean
·
The group makes a pack not to lie to each other
-The
group makes their way to Alya
·
They encounter rain and thunder during the first
part of their journey
·
As the dirt road turns to mud, the carts begins
to slow down and eventually gets stuck
·
As the group tries to move the horses and
dislodge the cart from the mud, a giant mechanical spider appears out of thin
air and attacks the group
·
The spider, as the group discovers, has immunity
to non-magical damage, charm, exhaustion, paralyze, and poison and has
advantage on spell saves
·
After defeating it, Lotty discovers the etching
of its maker in its circuity panel board, a mark of her family name
-The
group arrives at Alya, a military fortress decorated with religious symbols
·
A guard scans the group before coming in with
divination spells such as detect good and evil, magic, and thoughts

and tells them that they can rest in Aurora’s Grace
