Session 75: Brave the Elements
General Summary
2nd Unndilar 836PD In the room is several pictograms that when combined together represent the Prime and Betrayer Deities. When in the right order, a trap door in the floor opens and the group jump down into a square room with a pool of water that flows to a door. In each corner is a plinth with a brazier and markers related to each of the elements, earth, fire, air and water. The Group put an element of each into the corresponding plinth, water in the water brazier etc. Once done, elementals appear from each of the braziers and start to attack the party. The Earth elemental swallows a lot of the damage and attention and deals thunderous strikes. Fire elemental tries to avoid the water but is grappled and dragged through it by Sabali and put out. The air elemental's lightning strike fries Orlando to a near dead crisp, before Raph's eldritch smites blows the air elemental away. Zeni turns the water elemental into steam with her firebolt. With the elementals defeated and the room clear, they discover that by reaching into the braziers, they can pull out a small element that acts as a key to opening the door. They enter into a corridor and take a short time to rest and heal up for next room, which has moveable tiles that when arranged correctly allow the flow of water from previous room to flow to 3 other doors, unlocking them. The group enter the door on right that goes into a corridor, and soon realise there were pressure plates, and managed to quickly escape before a spiked wall rushes down the corridor that would have pushed them into a pit. The door on the left is a similar corridor and trap, but the bottom door opens up to a sunken floor and on the opposite side is a statue of Ioun with a glowing magical stone. Sabali manages to jump over the gap and back with the stone, and is identified to be an Ioun Stone of Leadership which would enhance Zeni's natural charisma. With no clear route to next level, the party consider their options and where else to explore...
