Got attacked by some raptors who ran like BITCHES
Entered the temple
found some pictograms; investigation showed pictograms depicting tortles and serpents and 3 interlocking circles; not part of tortle culture
came up to a big room with a similar statue in Tortle town; has description of "all petitioners must bear gifts"
bore gifts; altar shifted and we went down to the riddle room; answers were 'promise', 'courage', 'choice'
descended into a 20' x 40' hallway lined with pressure plates and small holes
came across a stone dais with a bunch of gold next; was warded with abjuration magic; didn't take any
walked into some blue mist; aged down
Met Azeragoth, the Platinum Serpent (AKA the Sleeper) down in his lair
Last petition was 150 years ago; got no more because the world broke
Able to transform into a Yuan-ti pureblood with platinum gray hair and symbolic tattoos covering the chest and arms similar to Rapp's magic tattoo + bright blue slitted eyes
What Azeragoth knows:
Our party is fatebound- we're individuals who have the ability to change the world's meaningful balance
Not chosen to be fatebound; just comes to you or is built into you; Dan the deathless is a fatebound
World broke through the Precursors trying to create a god; could've happened in the middle of the continent?
2 intelligent races were native to the world before the collapse: the precursors (humans) who enslaved the Giff (empire)
Giff are attacking the continent as of 3 days ago; planning an invasion?
Pact of Binding- an agreement made by 16 gods to limit the power/influence of interdimensional beings traveling to/from our planet, as well as banning other things; Lightning Train is one such example
Someone sent Monomon here, but why? For the power of potentially becoming a god?
