Session 8 - Power of the Gems

When Bale and I approach the front of the building to see where our allies went, we get pulled towards the door and the floor gives way. We fall for what feels like quite a while. We appear in a very dark cave, only illuminated by Suhk Sook's light spell and Bale's torch. As we get about 30 feet in, we hear a booming voice from Franky Four Fingers. Said we must complete the trials to get his gems, which we've already done 2 unknowingly, the Gorgon we fought and the Water Elementals earlier in the day. On the floor are 2 cloaks, which turn into creatures which attack us. We defeat the creatures and Franky's voice booms across the cavern, saying we defeated the air trial. He invites us to drink from the stream, which when we do we feel revitalized. Once we've drank from the stream, Franky says the next trial is here, and 2 fire elementals appear and approach us.
 
After we defeat the fire elementals, we drink from the stream again and go through a tunnel and end up in another room, designed around a game of chess. We manage to beat our invisible opponent. We go through the door which opens and appear in a very long room. Where in the middle is a circular like platform, with images of us on them. Franky tells us to take our positions and says may the best man win. I send my echo at Suhk Sook and move myself to defend Carro.
 
In the fight, I down Bale and Suhk Sook. Elrbrick downs Carro while he's flying so I'm unable to defend him. Franky then says this will be a fair fight and gets rid of his flight and I manage to send my Echo forward to down him. At the end of the fight, Franky says he found a worthy person to take the gems from him. The gems appear in front of me and I take them. We then find ourselves transported into a room, with Franky in front of us. Franky, now that he no longer has the gems, withers away and dies. He must have been extremely old, from ancient times. I gave out the gems as I saw fit to my allies.
 
In the room we find 250 gold, 50 platinum, 8 healing potions, 2 potions of poison, and what appears to be a bomb.
 
We leave through the ladder and end up back at Franky Four Fingers' house. The next few days are spent in Blackwater, where I had to contain the power of the gem within me, as well as deciding to have Keely stay in Blackwater to learn from the shop that can now create the bullets for his weapon.
 
Elrbrick also revealed to us that he can change forms, and his true form is a strange white coloured humanoid, but he prefers his Dwarven form.
