The Omega Facility

by Kai'okoa

Well.. we are all still alive. We conquered the Omega Facility and got our contracted items but they didn't come easily. Initially when we arrived we started towards the building and were ambushed by some giant ants that were as hard as metal. We managed to work together to get everyone inside the perimiter but we couldn't agree as a group what to do next or how to approach, because of this we were ambushed once again by some clawfoots. They very quickly knocked out Zora'kas and Aethelwulf but we scared them off after killing some. After some scouting and finding a way inside we started investigating and found a Tiefling ghost after locating their body and an amulet they had. They requested that we find the other pieces so they and their friends could rest.
 
Venturing upstairs we found some miniture wyverns and their nests, they weren't so hard to take out although some did escape. The bigger problem was the displacer beast picking off our enemies and waiting for its time to strike. With a lot of time left in the day we went down a couple floors and found stumbled upon a generator to which Zora'kas provided a crystal he found to power it. Upon activating it more ants were awakened by it's constant hum and came to attack. It was an exhausting fight but we were victorious. After that we decided to try and take it easy for the rest of the day and seal ourselves into one of the quarters. It was small and we had to squish in there together but we made it work, until we heard the beast tearing open doors and making its way to our room; following our scent.
 
We decided it best to vacate the room so we'd have more space to fight which I think was a good decision. It wasn't so scary once it couldn't go invisible all the time and we managed to kill it. After this we were spent and I wish I could say it was easy sailing from there but most of us wanted to rest, we were wounded, exhausted, and in unfamiliar territory. Dhok had other ideas and wanted to keep investigating, Zora'kas disputed his idea and tensions rose. I wanted to stay behind and rest but I didn't want to be split from the group, so I went with. Once we got to the roof Dhok revealed that Aethelwulf had been wrong about his initial scouting, something he didn't want to share with the group which made Esi and Zora'kas very annoyed. They had a go at him for withholding information and not trusting us.. it makes me think of my own situation and I feel like after what I admitted about stealing that if I was to reveal more, I might not be welcome anymore.
 
I know I haven't known them for very long but I've never had friends before.. if they even are my friends. I admire Esi, the way she wants to find out more about the spirit inside her. Aethelwulf seems to want to help but I do not know if I should put trust in him.
 
We eventually went to sleep in the facility, although it was a very tense and restless night for me. The next day we destroyed the entire building after discovering how they left their test subects to either break out or die in their cages, I think it really upset the party and made us realise what they were doing to these creatures. We then made the journey back to the Peckish Pixie and immediately went to bed.
 
I hope as a group we can learn to work together more.
