Session 64: At Dawn We Plan

Our impact after we kill the High Saint, we are starting a war with this attack. Should we send a message to Feyra and see if any druids from Centuris can aid us with the High Saint. Should we scry to Sara's dad to see if he is okay? Vakil gave us more infromation about the Golden Goddess.

Maybe some legendary being will come back and get me ungrounded as well .

— Sara

We decided to scry to Sara’s dad.


Out of game: we have the idea that the crystal contration is related to the Obsidan Nexus, as it is known to hold crystals of magical power.


Timeline Analysis



Lady Hanata told Vakil that he was blessed by dragons (by the Golden Goddess herself?)

Land outside Wealdstone a safe distance away, about a mile and a half’s walk. We land in a sparse open woodland that looks pretty normal. From here, we don't see any blight.
As we are walking to the village, Sara sends a message to Feyra informaing her of what's happened and the possibility of aid. Feyra doesn't have access to druids yet, she will need to talk to her mum or the guardian. The closest access that the druids have is Blaenau.
We reach the village, and walking through it appears like a standard village. Kids a playing in the street, people are walking through the town, carrying washing. We make our way to the inn where the lady behind the door tells us that there are no vacancies. We asked if they knew an Angelina Poppers, which she adamantly said no. I noticed something off about her, as if she was hiding something. Sara ethreal stepped through the walls into the inn, where Serena made her way to the back of the inn to the back door. She nearly got knocked out by the guard, but he hurt his elbow on the crates next to him instead. A blonde-hair, golden eyes, hair shaved down the sides half sun-elf opened the back door to see what was going on. Serena and Phil (the guard) made their way inside. Vakil and I followed as quickly as we could after hearing the commotion, finally figured out that the door was actually unlocked and we made our way inside. Sara let the siblings in through the front door.
Inside the inn was set up much like a war room. Tables were pushed together, and on top was a map of the region and various dining implements (salt, pepper) used as indicators of movement. Around the table were an ecletic collection of people, mostly farmers and workers from the village or surrounds.
d Nabala - firbolg
d Roloris - red tiefling
Human male - mid 40's
Half sun-elf male - same facial structure as Angelina, possibly younger
Dwarf


We inform the half sun-elf, which we figure out is d Angelina Poppers, of our intention and the information that we know. She doesn't trust us, still hesistent with what we know and who we claim to be. She has heard of us though, as word got around of us killing a black dragon. That trust declined more when Vakil mentioned Lady Hanata.

Angelina took us to the edge of the blight, and told us more about the way it moves. It is resistant to regenerative and earth-like magic, returning back to its unnatural state in seconds. Channeling energy doesn't work either, as once any ritual is finished it returns back.
We made our way back to the inn to begin preparations. We noticed when leaving and coming back, the villagers were different from how we saw it when first coming in. People were gearing up, grabbing weapons and preparing themselves; no one was idling or doing chores. The kids we saw weren't kids.
From their map, based on the most recent reports of people who can survive the disease, they have the location of the current High Saint's camp. From there, the estimated time it could take her to get to the village could be as soon as one day, or best case scenario four days. Near Blaenau, the closest activity is in Lanicrest. If we need to send the airship to there, we'd have to avoid there.
