Session 13 Report, New Friends Old Enemies

General Summary

• Lyssandra was awakened by a dream she had, a female voice telling her to run! The familiar voice was Apricity. Once she awoke she was wet with sweat and her feet were wet and dirty.

• The alarm Anvil had set went off when the Cassalanter cult members were attempting to pick the lock.

• After being unable to enter, Lyssandra jumped out the kitchen window to see who was outside.

• Anvil made his way out the pantry door and soon enough a fight ensued.

• Toward the beginning of the fight… two new characters approached and were after the Cassalanters… one of them was a skunk!

• Once that fight was over and the cult members committed suicide, only one remained alive, constricted by Lyssandras staff of the python.

• Questioning the cultist, Lyssandra found out that they are after her for her parents refusing an invitation to join the cult.

• Once the fight was over and especially after a thundering boom was heard by the neighbors, several neighbors came out to see what all the commotion was about.

• Quickly being ushered off by Lyssandra and Tiffany using mage hand to grab the lantern of the NPC and motioning it in another direction the neighbors were turned away.

• While still outside the City Watch showed up and began asking questions… once the group showed proof of ownership of Trollskull and some deception, the City Watch cleared away the cult members and asked the group to keep the blood off the streets.

• After retiring inside, the group discussed what next questions to ask the stone of golorr. During this time, the stone had a conversation with Tahira through Anvil about wanting to know secrets of the forest.

• Questions were finally decided on and asked of the stone… (Can’t remember at the moment)

• Mirt dropped by after hearing about the fight and offered the group a Xanathar Amulet to hopefully help with the descent into the lair.

• While still there, a crossbow bolt was shot through a window into the kitchen, Lyssandra giving chase along with Tiffany, it was discovered that Sidra Romeir was letting Lyssandra know that the boss wanted to meet… Sidra gave the name, Arthur Magnus.

• Upon hearing this news, Anvil immediately grabbed Lyssandra and asked who did she say.

• The location of the meetup was Kolat Towers in the City of the Dead Cemetery.

• Anvil shared with the group that Arthur Magnus was his creator and the creator of many others like Anvil… Dippler freed Anvil

• Agkistrodon and Tahira both shared that they are part of a faction of Zhents, called the Doom Raiders… their specialty is plundering Lich lairs… as so aptly put by Agkistrodon, “Slaying Liches and Plundering Riches!”

• Agkistrodon and Tahira then shared what they knew and had heard about the Chaos Helix as well.

• The group then shared, on the suggestion by Lyssandra, about their combat prowess… things they were good at.

• Finally with all the information learned and some discussion, it was decided that the group would head to Kolat Towers and possibly discover who Sidra's boss is and what he wants.
