Session 37 - Bottom of the Prison

by Jack

After tying up their captured Ragesian soldier, the Protectors of the Pass continued through the undercroft of the Sunken Prison. The next room they arrived in seemed to be a chamber of experimentation, where more of the fish men the party fought previously floated in tanks, unmoving. Near the tanks, there was a book, in which the writer detailed "I have not been able to replicate the process that created many lives from one. I cannot help but assume that something outside of the realm of normal experimentation and scientific process occurred that night that I may never recapture." It continued "while the Aquiline Heart may be only myth, this could be a true method not only towards success, but eternal life."
 
Near the experimentation room, there was a bedroom, and on a shelf was placed a dark orb. After a quick look-over, it was determined that this was in fact the item that was causing the odd weather in Seaquen, not just the continuous rain, but the hurricane too. However, there was a missing item, a wand that controlled the orb. Collecting the device, the party moved on.
 
The next chamber was designated to be a room of torture. A number of cells lined the nearby wall, and within the Protectors found a young sorcerer from the Lyceum, bloodied and imprisoned. In another cell was an unusual stone pillar, that was revealed to be some sort of magical teleportation focus, which was designed to draw those attempting to teleport within its proximity to be drawn to the pillar instead of their destination.
 
In another room, the party found a young elf woman tied to a torture table, and applying his trade was a Ragesian Inquisitor named Damius. The Protectors attacked, and though Damius was alone in combat, he fought well. The party eventually felled him, but were very hurt from the fight. After hearing reports from the two captives, as well as tied-up soldier, that Lee had fled hours before the party arrived, the party believed that the druid was in the wind. Collecting the captives, the party began their trek out of the Sunken Prison.
 
Nearing the exit, the Protectors heard the raging hurricane outside, seemingly worsened after their time in the Prison. The party prepared to head back to the Lyceum and see what to do next. However, a shadow passed before the front door, and as the Protectors left the Prison's walls, they were greeted by an unwelcome sight - Lee Sidoneth, and his pet squid Lula. "Looking for this," Lee yelled through the storm, and held above his head, the missing wand that would stop the storm. Drawing on their small reserves of strength and determination, the Protectors drew their weapons, and dove into the battle to save Seaquen.
