Session 66: And Now For Something Completely Different!
General Summary
After reviewing their options, the party decided to put their trust in Trislee's newfound mastery of Teleport. The wizard-archaeologist spent her afternoon shopping and studying A History of Alhaster, and returned feeling confident. The party gathered their gear, and the wizard began her spell.
But guiding creatures through the weave to a place you've never actually been is difficult, and after some magical turbulence, the party landed somewhat outside the target - about thirty miles north of it, on the slopes of a mountain that Trislee and Lins both recognized immediately.
The dungeon on whose doorstep the'd landed was well known to both of them as the creation of the mad genius mage Keraptis, who stole three of the world's most powerful magical weapons, and invited any adventurer who dared to come and get 'em. That was decades ago, and no party who entered the volcanic tunnels of Keraptis' challenge ever left them again.
But those guys were less experienced, surely this party's luck would be different. And they could certainly use the power-up. After realizing that Alhaster was only a day-trip away, they resolved to try their luck in the mountain - with any luck it wouldn't take more than a day or so.
They found the tunnels below flooded by about a foot of murky water. After solving the riddle of the sphinx guardian, they began exploring.
Charming Kelpies (and their treasure), pit-traps, mysterious metal-heating corridors and undead amulet-wearing ghoul ambushes may yet be the least of the party's problems as they seek the treasures of White Plume Mountain!
