The Curtain Rises

Current Date: Night of 23 Octatyr, 994 AN (New Moon)

---

The session started off with the DM and Turt being late because they walked the dogs too far. But that aside, the party was given the tasking to investigate one of the local theaters at the Drawsmith Arcade after a dark play left civilians dead, missing, or left in a maddened state. Unfortunately, the Piltover Wardens had declared the sitte off limits so the party had to find their own route in.
A little bit of scouting and bribery got the party in through the front door. The inside of the theater was dimly lit and a weird magic lingered about the air - a mixture of illusion and conjuration magic. Looking through some of the private boxes, the party found an odd mixture: a man that had died after gouging out their eyes, a magical brooch, and parts of people.
Down on the stage, they found a summoning circle that was connected to the void. As they party was looking around and preparing to deface the circle, a portal opened and several Void Crawlers entered the area and began attacking the party. After a small struggle, the party overcame subdued the creatures and they melted away. Leaving us in an eerily quiet auditorium and a nice spot to pause.
