adventures in flumph saving.

Dazy, Norman and I set out to go talk to zelix the illithid again in his new laboratory. We brought him Gazy the baby beholder whom he said he would study. Furthermore the mention of Alhion unnerved him and he mentioned to us that the artifact that Alhion was powering up with the chaotic energy of the old Town was a relic from their world that when detonated turned normal lands into the current wasteland that is the hallow tears.
 
Further conversation mentioned the flumph thralls that Alhion used Zelix told us of a friend in the incommunicado that raised flumphs that lived deep in the underdark named Qvak. We traveled the deep trek down and found an underground lake with the emaciated illithid in a boat amongst a group of flumphs. Then a pair of quagoths and a pair of humans all seemingly thralls of alhion came into the cave to steal 2 of the flumphs. We killed them after a brief chase we were able to save both from being stolen. Then we spoke to Qvak who told us it was he who found the artifact among the svirfneblin which is later how alhion got his hands on it, we assume them dead. We noticed he was too weak to protect his flumphs from alhions capture Norman mapped out some of the tunnels and after staging the quagoth body we caused some cave in to keep them from finding him again as best we could.
 
Returning to zelix we spoke to him and he mentioned that learning more about Gazy will take time cause it has psionic protections. As well as he told us he would look into some items that would help us defensively so that we may stop alhion from detonating the artifact again and possibly splitting the continent.
