Session 76: Piss, Holy Water, or Blood?
General Summary
The session began on BranchForth 26, 2597 around 11PM in the depths of the earth for Atticus while the rest of the party and contents of room TT008 were nowhere to be seen.
Kale, Alena Birch, Wren, Rodan Spice, and Tork found themselves in a 20'x20'x30' room made of jet black rock and absolutely freezing. Kale detected an aura of necromancy but was unable to pinpoint a source. Ice was at the top of the walls and coating the ceiling, but Wren created a bonfire to fight off the creeping exhaustion of the cold. Kale discovered that holy water damaged the rock and in combination with Tork's smashing broke through a wall. The chamber beyond (as discovered by Tork, Rodan Spice, and Parrot Kale) had an anti-gravity affect causing some blunt force trauma after a 150' fall. Eventually the party discovered several other rooms thanks to radiant damage from Wren's summoned dragon and Kale communicated the location of four sigils (circumscribed percentage signs) in the adjoining chambers. Tork and Rodan Spice touched them and took the disentigration force damage to power them. Once all were glowing sickly green, the floor of the original room lowered to reveal an archway.
The room within contained an altar 5'x5'x8' of jet black stone with two black candles atop lit with black flames that did not give off light and a black stone dish between them. Within the dish was a rolled scrap of parchment reading:
With this the party noticed the top of the altar could be pushed off and within was a skeleton with a piece of the altar of the titans embedded in its skull. This was retrieved (skull and all) by Rodan Spice who also got into the crypt and found a lever which transported the party back to the original room with Atticus. Atticus shared with them a hidden note he found behind a removable brick in room TT008:
While in the room, Alena Birch cast speak with dead on the skull and the following questions were asked:
After this Rodan Spice asked it what its favorite color was, but it did not reply. The party then backtracked to the original room through which they came in the vault and found along with the gold being gone, so was the painting portal as well as Zirk and Jandar. Atticus banished himself and Kale to the demi-plane the portal connected with while Alena Birch sent a message to Zirk. Zirk and Jandar were within the demi-plane (having hidden there when they heard voices and door opening to the vault) and Atticus and Kale constructed a tuning fork to the plane using a regular kithcen fork. Huh.
With this Atticus and Kale were transformed invisible and they went out of the portal. They found themselves in a small office with a desk, two chairs, and two people entering, Gasta (the head of internal investigations for the bureaucracy) and Atticus' Benefactor, Charles Atticus Fitzgerald. They were discussing how the Benefactor had provided information to Gasta about the criminals that had taken him hostage earlier that day and also how the Benefactor would take the portal back to his estate to deal with the criminals. As three henchman of the Benefactor came in to take the portal, Atticus seeked the invisibility upon himself and Kale. The Benefactor smiled widely and shut the door to the office in which they found themselves. With this, the session ended on BranchForth 27, 2597 around 1AM under the headquarters of the bureaucracy. Atticus and Kale were squaring off against the Benefactor, Gasta, and three apprentices while the rest of the party (minus Zirk & Jandar) were in the vault about 40 floors beneath them in the entryway to the vault, opening the extrodinarily heavy door.Makes Me An Honorary Asian

Artifact of Ascension - Here within lies the artifact of ascension. It alone will grant the bearer the ability to displace the pantheon. Its power is not complete, but still useful it is. Remove at your own peril.
With this the party noticed the top of the altar could be pushed off and within was a skeleton with a piece of the altar of the titans embedded in its skull. This was retrieved (skull and all) by Rodan Spice who also got into the crypt and found a lever which transported the party back to the original room with Atticus. Atticus shared with them a hidden note he found behind a removable brick in room TT008:
"If you find this, it means something horrible has happened likely. Warn others of Ta'jat"
While in the room, Alena Birch cast speak with dead on the skull and the following questions were asked:
What is your name? Jordan.
How did you die here? The thing in my head.
Why did you get a whole tomb in here? The thing in my head.
What does it do? Nothing of consequence.
What was Ta'jat doing here? Ascending.
After this Rodan Spice asked it what its favorite color was, but it did not reply. The party then backtracked to the original room through which they came in the vault and found along with the gold being gone, so was the painting portal as well as Zirk and Jandar.
