E26: Arrival at Port Apollo! Report
General Summary
Notes from Timber, to be embellished later.
We arrive on the moon and watch globules of light form a path toward the city.
Drathar carries Ula's body. We offer registration and a crew manifest to the person at the "window".
We fly through the traffic and find Samwell. He welcomes us with open arms, but soon learns why we're here. He attempts to help us rest and conceal Ula's body.
We explore the city.
Drathar hears "Xidis" say to be weary because their body is buried there.
Di'Nok's Reach slowly sinks underground. All the buildings begin to sink. Everyone rushes inside. It feels like an elevator.
We climb in and go down a ladder that feels like it may never end. When we reach the bottom, a hallway lights up with blue magical flames. We discuss a funeral plan for him. The party then discusses putting Ula's soul either into a sword or the body. Ula feels that he doesn't need t ocome back.
The party is given his ashes and Timber makes a 4-page portrait of Ula.
Timber makes a new 1-page portrait of Ula and pranks Todd (who is now back at the helm of that body.)
A bone dragon stands up in front of everyone. "Todd, I expected your brother".
We learn we need to destroy the decaying body or else Chaerynn will change it into a Dracolich.
** Timber tries to secretly put the 4-page portrait of Ula into his portable hole. (rolled 19) (Doing for myself, trying to decorate a room in there full of moments from our campaign. Plan to let someone in the party in there to find out I've made a small apartment lmao.
The bones are straight up arcane (blue) magic suspending the skeleton like a puppet. Timber tries to ask Todd for help.
We spend 30 minutes walk toward the enchantment shop. When we reach the top of the spiral stairs, and we find a door that usually would lead out to the street but is now a 15x15ft floating platform to Dark Side Armaments. We ride it all the way there, watching it traverse the air like spelljammer traffic.
The shopkeep sells the group some stuff and agrees to enchant Ash's sword.
The group gets a room at an inn called The Ball after Ash wins an intense game of Rock, Paper, Scissors.
** Timber tries to put the gallon of Emerald Lion Fruit Ale into his portable hole. (Rolled a 13)
Timber moves over to the bards and **records** the song the bards are playing so he can emulate it like a radio later on.
The party winds down and long rests.
Timber gets a message that the enchantment is ready. He goes to get the sword on his own, and then fences against it as sword practice in the streets.
The party finds Timber, gets the sword, and then presses the magic rod button from Samwell to take us back to the burial ground.
"the binding curse broken, good. I am free." - Xidis transforms into an old man.
