Session 10

Anton recognizes the goblin trees as twigblights (24)

We are not sure what this wood lady is

she has some kind of axe within her

Coletrane pulls it out and it begins to talk to him

her name is Karana, she said she thinks she was waiting for Coletrane

Before heading back to South Kort we will look around some more to make sure there are no more threats

we don't find anything else of note

We head back to South Kort

speak with Rakak

he'll have Sesha talk with us tomorrow

We rest

Marley had a strange dream about being torn away from Caden

wakes up with tough skin, and less dexterous, little sluggish

might have something to do with the curse the wood lady said as she died

Meet with Sesha

catch her up on the details of the attacked lumberjacks

she doesn't know what is affecting Marley

she will send a guide (Kestra) to show us to the undercity

South Kort was built upon the ruins Jorlon, which was abandoned 75 years ago

South Kort itself is only 10 years old

Kestra gives us a tour

a lot is sealed off due to cave-ins

she does show us to a site that is currently being excavated

the floor here collapses often

we will descend down one of our holes

Below we find some big stone doors

ornately carved and sealed shut with molten copper

large figure in a crown, and some runes we don't understand

Marcellus translates it to "Here lies Elrin, king of Parcivell. May his greatness long be remembered"

Elrin is definitely human.

Dwarves, gnomes, halflings and elves are fighting along side him against orc, hobgoblins, gnolls and other bestial races

We strip the copper and open the door

Inside are some tapestries, that still look new

Marcellus magically translates that Elrin routed an orc kingdom that used to maraud

Thousands of coins are present with Elrin. Dozens of suits of armor, lots of weapons

Lingering magical aura is ever present

Another tapestry mentions that Elrin joined forces with the elves of Nordurin

He also made a trade alliance with the dwarves that dwelt beneath Sur Kratoom

One room depicts the defeat of the dragon Straaturn, Spawn of the Cinder Oath

lots of weapons, armors, coins and gems there

A room speaks of an alliance with someone known as the Magebinder

the only item in this room is a replica of a sword

everyone image in this room is bowing, except for Elrin and a hooded figure

the hooded figure wields a sword like the replica. Very intricate

It's made so that the sword is the focal point, not the wielder

Inside a central room are 3 constructs (13) that attack us

beyond that room is a perfectly preserved human body laying in state

with him is a huge 3D map, made with precious stones and metals

the landscape does not look like area we are familiar with

Marcellus, Anton, Fabian and Marley stay behind while Coletrane goes to get Kestra

Everyone that stayed behind gets sick after some searching, so we head back

after telling Kestra what we found

We also noticed that any spells we cast while in there were more powerful than normal

did not effect the wand

Marley has another strange dream about being ripped from Caden

skin becomes tougher, and less dexterous

he has a strong transmutation aura on him

Uwem and Jurgen are waiting in the inn lobby

Uwem informs us that the trackers have been unable to find any more seamen

We tell both of them about the curse that has befallen Marcellus

Jurgen knows of an old hobgoblin woman living in a swamp that may be able to do something

she lives in the Labat Gurz marsh, it's very far

her name is Gal Mega, she takes payment in green and black gems

Jurgen and get us in touch with his friend Grix, who goes that direction

We'll check with Sesha for a second opinion before moving
