Session 11 - Approaching The Chasm - Mafaldine's Notes

General Summary

we awaken without bullshit having occured
Diiorehen joins us
we are looking for a ruin by a chasm a few days due west of beacon, potentially containing treasure and a door opening crystal
We find a giant who resemebles Kanack (Mae's brother) being attacked by five vulkoori
we join the fight
things seem to be going well
"I see your scales" Kanack appears to be tripping balls, likely the result of a curse
"the scales of flames"
I manage to knock him out via sleep esp thanks to shiv fucking smacking him.
things get kinky
using detect magic i discern he is not under the effect of any magic
a softly glowing rune/brand appears it IS enchantment the rune is draonic
Kanack awakens and seems to have regained his senses
"it is taking me again. the Durashkatul
" i remeber going to sleep and little else"
"it does not leave, it never let's anyone go.
Kanack gives us some final words to pass onto Mae.
Illalai kills him at his request.
Diiroehn attempts to kill the drow, I stop him
Diiroehn threatens me with death if I stop him again. Tells me to take it up with the govener.
we take a carved ivory necklace from Kanack to give to Mae.
I copy the mark into my spellbook.
I make gnoll stew with a side salad for dinner, Rakki, illalai and shiv help forage, Deborah give me some honey
Skywarrior steals a bowl, shit my dinner set
we begin the day following the same direction
after about lunch I believe we come across a waterfall
we see sunlight for the first time in a while.
oh shit we found the chasm.
500m long and 100m wideat least 100m deep
dozens of waterfalls pouring out of the ravine and form a mighty waterfall
a lake is at the bottom, choked with vines
a ruined village at the bottom
the walls of the ravine are sheer and damp but heavily coated in potentially climable vegetation
buildings in the cliffs at the top of waterfall
oooh we spot a ruined stair case that seems to be our best option
we brainstorm a way to descend.
after a whie we decide to try and descend via some higher up ruins
we find 3 entrances to the ruins 1 obvious 2 slightly hidden
Illalai and I detect magic

we find a scrap of paper under a stone on a pedestal "danger. not safe. if we need anything more here we should get a big group of people from town, don't go in alone, signed Gideon"
" life to have it, but death to hold it, running hot, running cold, running to the beat." riddle in giant" apparently it means blood
Diiorehn cut his hand and laid it on an alter, caused a deeper rumbling.
we head in, we find a chest in the room the diiorehn opened. we spot a vulkoori child who spotted us and ran
I open the lock via Magic Missile, a black orb rolls out coated in abjuration energy. apparenlty theres other stuff i nthe chest, I inevstigate
I find 2 elven scrolls (phantom steed and connjure food and water) and some coins
Mafaldine: what the fucks going on?
Shiv: Demon Lama
Mafaldine: white guy blinking.gif
Illalai identifies the stone orb. will have some sympathy with fire given it's origin.
the lama attempts to kill rakki via cliff jumping. it unravels into vines before it hits the ground.
the little girl "help me Diiroehn, there's monsters everywhere", lures him away and charms him.
apparently these things are called kelpies, they charm and lure people to their deaths
also they want me to go over and have a look, near the edge, over a waterfall, fuck
and session is over.
