Session 3

I think that this session was sort of brief, for some reason. Anyway, after the throne room warning, Talula decided that her former career as a prostitute was both safer, and more financially rewarding, and left Jzadirune and went back to Caldron.

Fyn, Alice (w/Usula), Sirrach and Vesper decided to follow another recently dug tunnel to the south. They came upon an old theatre. Sirrach decided to look behind the backstag curtain, but was surprised by a Choker, which almost choked him to death. Back in the tunnel, Alice was attack by another Skulk, who seemed mysteriously transparent, almost as if he was 'vanishing' away. They defeated the skulk and the choaker, and then found a secret door into a costume room. They then found a large hall with dancing lights, a pool, and two more skulks to attack them. After defeating the skulks, they followed a tunnel north, and back to the original room. They decided to ascend to the locksmith shop again, and rest.

Session report 2

Ok, I guess I haven't kept up on these! Sorry! I've probably forgotten some stuff, so feel free to add posts or comments. Anyway....

Fyn, Alice (w/ Usula), Sirrach, Talula, and Vesper decided to head down the stairs. Sid decided to head off and search for his family on his own. Yarrow hadn't returned. They went into a room with gnomish masks making various sounds. They discovered that they were in the ruins of the lost gnomish enclave of "Jzadirue." They fought off some rats, and then were attaked by 2 skulks. Vesper and Talula tried to open some trapped, gear shaped doors with mixed success. The group was already fairly beaten up, so they decided to rest. Everyone but Sirrach and Talula decided to go back to the locksmith shop, but they decided to lock themselves in a room. Surprisingly, they survived.

The group explored down a hallway, and came upon more gear doors. They found a room with some secret doors, into a room with a level. Fyn pulled the lever, and heard a trap door open in the adjacent hall. They went into the hall, and then decided to follow some recently dug tunnels, that they surmised were dug by the skulks. They followed the tunnels, eventually into a large 'throne room.'

In the throne room, they saw an illusion of a sleeping gnome king, and message about depositing coins in a slot. They searched the throne, and found a hidden compartment with gold. But the illusion king whispered a secret warning in gnomish about 'the vanishing.'
