Chutes and Spheres
The vision shared by Alaric, as revelatory as it was, left a chilling aftermath. With the vision's conclusion, Alaric slumped lifelessly, succumbing to prior acidic injuries. Darcell's assessment revealed that Alaric had been kept alive solely to convey the crucial vision granted by Savris. His sacrifice weighed heavily on our hearts as we sought out his chambers in the temple.
Upon entering Alaric's quarters, we discovered a treasure trove of books and writings, a testament to his lifelong pursuit of knowledge. Among the writings, Haldir stumbled upon intriguing references to a beacon and a weapon designed to threaten Amn, sending shivers down our spines. Further notes hinted at the existence of something dwelling in Esmereltan Lake, while others mentioned sharing this information with Necrom.
As Darcell explored the prayer room, an uncanny occurrence disrupted our efforts. He heard the sound of stone shifting beneath his feet. Alerting the party, we soon realized that Sorcha had vanished, and our pursuit led us to a hidden stairwell beneath the altar. We descended into the depths.
In our haste, Mavros surged ahead but was met with a shocking surprise, an electric arrow to his knee. Ellis retaliated with a firebolt while Darcell employed Otiluke’s Resilient Sphere to navigate a path through the ensuing wall of fire. The sphere rolled downhill, and we found ourselves in a perilous situation as water began to flood the tunnels.
Sorcha and an enigmatic elf, mentioning a nearly completed ritual, teleport away. The sphere and water enveloped the party, propelling us off a cliff. Ellis, who had landed beneath the sphere, lost consciousness. Darcell swiftly administered healing to Ellis and the rest of the party. Amidst the chaos, Mavros delved into a bag Sorcha had dropped, uncovering a pristine crystal similar to the one some of us had seen on the boat.
Our surroundings revealed an open cavern, but we deduced that it was rapidly filling with water. We found ourselves caught between Amn and the elemental plane of water, seemingly intertwined in a perilous dance that threatened to submerge Amn in an elemental onslaught.
The mysteries surrounding Esmeltaran and the elemental forces at play have taken a perilous turn, and we now stand at the precipice of a daunting and enigmatic challenge.
