Session 21: Meeting Tekkdekk
General Summary
September 8, 2023
Before you even arrived to the mansion, you were headed toward The Radiant Keep, where the librarian Atrix said Esoti would likely reside. Instead, you turned south and parted ways with Swyndolyn from the town of Ballater. You made steady progress over the course of a day clearing out the mansion. With two doors left in the Sparkle Baby Big Boy Party Town, Theo got up from the short rest first and opened the last untouched door. From within, a serpentine dragon creature with feathery wings emerged and began to attack you. Fen and Theo used flaming attacks to bring it down to critical health and Thorns held the Couatyl in a grapple before a mysterous force fired a webbed coocoon sac at the dragon creature. Killing it on impact, a bandaged hand emerged from the webbing and a mummified human, reeking of mead and ale emerged from its encasement. It began to stagger around the space, but surrounded by the six of you, and entangled in fire users, you made short work of the alcohol-soaked mummy and Theo ultimately destroyed it. Shaken from facing their past head on, and lost in the shock of the suddenness of its appearance, Theo ran to the other door, opened it, and started a debate of whether or not to engage in another fight. You decided against it, barricaded the door, and left Rockin’ Croc outside to guard it and keep the monsters stuck within. Returning to the master bedroom, Theo was able to locate a hidden panel in the ceiling with lead to an attic. Crawling inside, Fen identified a mysterious statue to be the likeness of Tekkdekk. Remembering her name, Thorns approached the marble statue and set the boon he received at her feet. Just before he did, his fingers acted on their own and twirling and flipping the board in the air, he landed the trick which lit the rest of the brasiers. The statue animated and you managed to speak to Tekkdekk. She took a keen interest in Thorns and struck a bargain: she would give Thorns power over time so that he could spread her influence across the material plane as long as Thorns gave her his hat and promised to not take up another patron while he created this pact with her. She in turn, promised to eventually give his hat back and to not damage it while it was in her possession. In the meantime, Theo noticed Tekkdekk come to a satisfied realization at the mention of Loth’s name and seemed fine with you guys all knowing and meeting up with her. After the bond was created, you felt a new resurgence of power fill the air as you leveled up three times, Tekkdekk returned to her statue form with a new accessory, and Joan left you with a poem of her uncertainty. With the mansion cleared out, the path before you branches in many directions.
