Ragnorra Session 47

Start: 7 pm, Monday, Flamerule (July) 26, 1396

Montgomery dominated Indrix, and the party took stock of their surroundings. They decided to find the 'heart' of the corruption, having Omen dive into the spawning pool nearby. There, he found what appears to be a fossilized skin flake. It appeared to have subtle skin folds, like a dream larva, but indicating they came from a much larger creature. The flake radiated a malign aura of healing. The party decided to destroy it, and collect the powder in samples.

Next, they questioned Indrix at length. He divulged important information under the dominate. Firstly, the general layout of the Cormanthor shrine. He described it as a funnel-like shape, with a rift to the astral plane, the outlands, and 'other' portals he did not personally use. He confirmed the dungeon is trapped, and has several monsters guarding it enthralled by Ragnorra, with instructions to attack those not under her control. He specified the Suzail base is abandoned, and Vaaren-Uul and his lot moved to the Cormanthor base. He described more void-minded thralls of Vaaren-Uul among the monsters guarding the base, as well as some constructs doubtlessly of his design. Indrix personally reports to Vaaren-Uul.

Responding to Jinx's questioning, he revealed important organizations infiltrated by Ragnorra, the cult, and the malshapers. Those included were the Red Wizards of Thay, Lords of Waterdeep, the church of Selune, Zhentarim, the Al-Badia, The lords of Cormyr (formerly), the Assassins of Galenas, the clergy of Asmodeus. Additionally, he specified Orgin Ulmokina, a red wizard agent, is enthralled by the cult, surreptitiously converting red wizards and underlings from his station in Undermountain.

He then specified links captives had to powerful creatures the best of his understanding. Aziza's birth was cursed by a vengeful Djinn, Keesa is distantly linked to Ubtao on her maternal line, Yeshelne has distant ties to Baphomet and Obox-Ob, Alina is a distant heritor to Rashemaar. He went on to specify when the 'chosen' is ready, the mind of the goddess will inhabit them, and the body of the goddess will enter the world. Indrix suspects her body will drop in the farsea swamp, west of Cormyr. He did not know every detail about this process. He believes Vane is a spirit which possesses bodies, and thinks he used to be Zenythri. Indrix showed spite and distaste for Zira, and bitterly lamented the fate of his people. He seemed to dislike his current predicament, and implored the party to purify him and true resurrect him, so he could escape his torment, promising to be an ally if they did.

Indrix went on to describe the 'guidestones' in the Astral Sea, which the rift below Myth Drannor links to. Collaboratively, they ascertained it is in a region of the Astral Plane named the Sea of Glass, and is guarded by four Anaxims. Perhaps Ragnorra can be steered away from Toril, if they act quickly enough. Mary ascertained Ragnorra must not be a true goddess, and lies outside the sphere of deific influence.

Indrix shared his wizard spellbook, containing the spell Touch of Corruption, which the fossil radiated.

The party then released his captive, who turned out to be Hisbela Rowanmantle. They informed her of the situation and she seemed dazed. Omen detected she has a good alignment. They consoled her and told her to come along and she will be safe. She asked a few basic preliminary questions, and seemed to be out of it.

Vix took a few water naga eggs once Omen sensed life in them.

The party decided to decurse the area and let it crumble, after looting what they deemed important.

They returned with Indrix in tow to the Green Chapel. There, Denethor was tipped off about the farsea swamp, and he asked the party to come with him after his rendezvous to meet other members of his order. The innkeeper graciously gave Hisbelda a traveler's outfit, and Vix walked the dogs.

They stalled for time until the Wychlaran were ready to see them. Once they were, they presented them with the townspeople for care, and surrendered Indrix. They were presented with his skull later on.

Shevarra performed an augury for the party, and presented them with a chest as a reward for their efforts. The augury revealed the guidestones are guarded by four abominations named Anaxims, and it is possible to redirect Ragnorra if they are slain. Vix has a distant relation to the Queen of Air and Darkness on her maternal line, and her paternal line is 'common'. Ronja must either literally or figuratively consume her patron to be free of her evil. They thanked the witch and departed. On the way out, they saw Hisbelda and Denethor speaking.
