Ox ---> Tiger --->Rabbit --->Dragon Campaign Session #124

 

Session 124-  Rams Explore With Astral Reavers Part 2

4/14/2024

  • Team Rams and the Astral Reavers agree to take a rest in Room #29.  

    Encounters were rolled for but the dice said no;-)  There were some 

    nteractions between members of the 2 teams.  When everyone wakes 

    up in the morning, H’Raon takes his watch members aside for a 

    debrief in their language, so Rams can’t understand the exchange.

    • Watch 1.  Ornie comments that the area is dank and musty.  

      Gugula asks Idilac what kind of action the Reavers have seen.  

      He tersely explains they were doing patrols and supply runs in 

      the Astral Realm.

      • Idilac (Astral Reaver Lieutenant)

      • Ornie

      • Gugula

    • Watch 2.  Geoph tries flirting with Jeler and she seems 

      disgusted by him not wearing pants.  When Geoph’s flirting 

      doesn’t get the results he hoped for he farts and Jeler walks 

      away.  Tentacle roars softly when Geoph farts.

      • Jeler (Astral Reaver MU)

      • Tentacle

      • Geoph

    • Watch 3.  Sigrun seems like she has gotten slightly drunk.  

      Yigreg notices and asks Ferika what is wrong with Sigrun.  

      Ferika says Sigrun has PTSD from all the bad things that 

      have happened to her during the past adventures.  Yigreg 

      comments “Bad luck is no excuse for dereliction of duty.”

      • Yigreg (Astral Reaver Fighter)

      • Sigrun

      • Ferika

  • Room #31a the antenna for the beacon that drew the Astral Reavers 

    to Dwimmermount is discovered along with some teleportation pads 

    in 31b, 31c, and 31d.  The pads are without power and H’Raon asks 

    Tim and Fecus whether they had found a control room anywhere on 

    Lvl 0. They recall that the room (#20) that powered up the deity 

    communication device was probably the control room.  H’Raon 

    seems distrustful of teleportation tech.

  • Room #34 contains the machinery that dials up the teleport location.  

    Each of the 3 pads have 3 locations that they can transport to; 

    Areon (Mars), Ioun (the Moon), and Kythirea (Venus).

  • Room #32 an Ochre Jelly is encountered and killed.

  • Room #33 a treasure vault is discovered.

  • Room #35 contains some old wooden chairs.

  • Room #36 contains a steel desk and chair along with 2 Olive Slimes 

    that are killed.  Fecus uses his pry bar to open the desk drawer.  

    H’raon swoops in to take the treasure.

  • Room #37 is a moldy rotten barracks where 2 Yellow Molds are 

    encountered and killed.  A Treasure Map (14,000 GP) for a 

    location on the slopes of Dwimmermount is found.  H’raon shows 

    no interest in the exterior of the dungeon and gives it to Fecus.

  • Room #38 is a moldy, algae coated latrine/shower room.  4 Algoids 

    are encountered.  The Algoids win initiative and use their Mind Blast 

    powers to great effect, stunning the following Team Rams members 

    for 11 rounds:

    • Ferika

    • Kruluzax

    • Sasha

    • Gigurg

    • Tim

    • Ornie

    • Fecus

    • Sigrun

    • Tentacle

    • Shelby

    • Ewald

    • Gerben

  • The only Rams not stunned (Yaroj, Geoph, Gugula, and Gunda) 

    begin to fight the Algoids.  1 Algoid is killed.  H’Raon’s team is 1 

    room away and not stunned.  Session ends in the middle of the fight.

Ox ---> Tiger --->Rabbit --->Dragon Campaign Session #123

 

Session 123-  Rams Explore With Astral Reavers Part 1

4/7/2024

  • Rams and the Astral Reavers start exploring the Lvl 0 together; 

    they leave Room #27 through the NW door.  Rams take the lead.

  • Room #28 is a cell that contains a skeleton that has turned green 

    and brittle.

  • Room #16 is a guard post with nearly empty weapons racks.  

    An Adamantine Shield +1 is the only thing of value.

  • Room #15 empty.

  • Room #14 is a large solarium with a pool of water.  

    2 Shambling Mounds attack and Rams do the heavy lifting, 

    but the Astral Reaver female MU has to use Fireball to finish 

    off the 2nd S.M.  Treasure.

  • Room #13 is empty.

  • Room #12 is the Gallery of the Four Worlds, a room with frescoes 

    depicting Earth, Kythirea (Venus), Ioun (the Moon), and Areon (Mars).

  • Room #29 is a small storage area containing 2 Basidironds 

    (I nicknamed these creatures giant space mushrooms).  

    1 creature made a successful spore attack on the hireling Kruluzax 

    and he hallucinated for 3 rounds that he was sinking in a swamp 

    and the only course of action that made sense to him was to begin 

    stripping off all of his armor and gear.  The rest of Team Rams was 

    successful in killing the Basironds and Fecus ordered a team member 

    to collect some flesh for experimentation later on.

  • 2 Shambling Mounds killed = 3640 XP

  • 2 Basidironds killed = 1000 XP

  • 125 PP = 1250 XP

  • Lapis Lazuli (50 GP) = 50 XP

  • Chrysoprase (75 GP) = 75 XP

  • Ceremonial Military Belt of Wrought Gold with Bloodstones 

    (1600 GP) = 1600 XP

  • Potion of Undead Control

  • Total XP = 8007 XP

  • Tim and Fecus each receive 2669 XP

Ox ---> Tiger --->Rabbit --->Dragon Campaign Session #122

 

Session 122-  “Please Follow Us to Meet Our Commander”

3/31/2024

  • Rams set watches and rest in Room #19 with no encounters occurring 

    (rolled for the 3 watches and the dice said no;-)

  • The next day, they poked around on the Astral Vessel again, they 

    didn't learn anything new, but estimate that it would take weeks if not 

    months to learn how to operate the vehicle.

  • Tim uses Wizard Lock on all of the man sized doors of Room #19 and 

    they attempt to enter Room #21 again.

  • All the mundane Open Doors attempts fail, so Gunda uses Knock to 

    open the door.  A Potion of Plant Control is found along with a 

    Kythirean Stone (harmless) is also acquired (by Sigrun).

  • Room #22 is unlocked (the door has a Thulian Danger symbol on it) 

    and entered and 2 more Kythirean Stones are found, but their 

    condition appears active and Rams take a cautious approach to 

    investigating without touching.

  • 2 Astral Reavers arrive in Room #21 and ask Rams to come meet 

    their commander.

  • Rams are led to Room #27 where they meet H’raon (surrounded by 5 

    other Astral Reavers), the commander, and he asks if Rams are the 

    ones who turned on the beacon.  Rams are unsure what he means, 

    but a conversation leads to H’raon learning a barrier was dropped a 

    few months ago and the beacon had been transmitting all along.

  • H’raon proposes a non-aggression pact and co-operative exploration 

    of Dwimmermount.  Rams agree for now.

Ox ---> Tiger --->Rabbit --->Dragon Campaign Session #121

 

Telephone to the Gods.

Session 121-  Talking to Gods

3/24/2024

  • Intrigued by the possibility of speaking to Deities of the Realm, 

    Rams brainstorm some questions and decide who will talk to 

    which god.  There are 8 to choose from, some more known to 

    the party than others.  They are as follows:

    • St. George

    • Tycho

    • Tiamat

    • The Sovereign

    • Habeka

    • Ataala

    • Nirgal

    • Donn

  • Sigrun attempts to contact Donn, but fails and takes an 

    electrical shock from the communication apparatus.

  • Ewald also attempts to contact Donn and also fails and the 

    electrical shock kills him.  He reverts from spider form back to human.  

    He is quickly revived by Shelby.

  • Tim, a worshiper of Tiamat, chooses to contact her and succeeds.

    • Is Turms Termax still embodied?

      • Maybe

    • Are the Eld the biggest threat to the region?

      • Maybe

    • Do you approve of our quest to conquer Dwimmermount?

      • Irrelevant

  • Shelby, a cleric of Tiamat, contacts her successfully.

    • Are the Dwimmer Dragons in the belly of Dwimmermount?

      • Never

    • Are the Dwimmer Dragons thriving?

      • Never

    • Does Turms Termax pose a threat in his current form?

      • Yes

    • Do you bless our quest to uncover the truth of Turms Termax 

      and uncover the secrets of Dwimmermount?

      • Yes

  • Geoph contacts the Sovereign successfully.

    • Are we going to party again at the next Winter Solstice?

      • Yes

    • Are we doing a good job?

      • Unsure

    • Will the rash on my butt clear up soon?

      • Probably

  • As Geoph is finishing up his queries, 4 Slime Zombies wander in and 

    a quick skirmish results in Gerben Warbear being infected before 

    Rams can kill the Slime Zombies.  After the conflict, Fecus uses his 

    Black Flame Sword to carve the infected tissue off of Gerben’s upper 

    arm.

  • 4 Slime Zombies killed = 3280 XP

  • Total XP = 3280 XP

  • Tim and Fecus each receive 1093 XP

  • Ferika and Kruluzax each receive 546 XP
