Ragnorra Session 30

Start: 7 pm, Tuesday, Flamerule (July) 20, 1396

The party investigated the storage room up above the tank room thoroughly. Cassius took time to decurse the boxes with the material containing the orange substance found at the shrine. In the storage room, they found 18 lbs raw starmetal, handy haversack, 334 pp, 216 gp, cloak of the manta ray, apparatus of the crab, 136 dry oats, beans, and lentils rations (dry porridge), cultist robes (30).

After an inspection of the pump to familiarize themselves with its functions, they began releasing captives one by one.

In the first tank, there was a dead beholder. Vix salvaged as many parts as she could from its body, and managed to recover 4 eye stalks. The rest appeared unsalvageable.

Cassius took a considerable amount of time during this process to dispel the portal, which appeared to work with this method.

The party took a considerable amount of time inspecting the subjects they saw suitable to release. They took note all of the subjects appeared to be innately talented in some way, whether it is brawn, or other less apparent attributes. Additionally, they noted none of the subjects were below average height. In fact, most, with the exception of the doppleganger, appeared to be quite tall.

Mary revealed the purpose of these subjects were to make crossbreeds. She specified "2 successful illithid crossbreeds were hauled off to Suzail". She lacked some critical information, and did not seem to oversee the entire process herself, although was most likely involved in some capacity. Additionally, Mary revealed there were other facilities. Newer shrines would not have facilities like this right away, as they take time and money to construct. She told the party the facility at Myth Drannor was the first.

The second tank they released contained a moonelf female named Gaelira Mirhjiakra. She was shocked, and cried, but the party managed to get out of her that the last thing she remembered before getting captured was walking with mother to get horse feed around everlund, south of silverymoon. She was captured Tuesday, 3 May, 1395.


The third was a sun elf. She immediately cast dimension door, and Cassius, with his extreme speed, chased her down to the ladder exiting the well, and convinced her to accompany him. She told him her name is Yeshelné Ni'Tessine. The party realized she is a minor scion of the fey'ri house Dlardrageth. They showed her around. She was vague about the circumstances surrounding her capture, and the date was around Wednesday, 5, September, 1393.

The fourth was the illuskan barbarian woman. Upon release, she immediately lunged at and grappled Vix, who was able to escape. With the sun elf's help, they were able to shakily calm her down, but not get any pertinent information from her. She spoke Bothii, a dialect of Illuskan. She accepted "tribute" of clothes, and decided to snoop around the chamber.

After this, the sun elf teleported away, and told Cassius "she would be in touch", cryptically.

The next was the Zakharan woman. She gave her name as Aziza bin Khali. She hinted that her father was a Zakharan nobleman, in liege to the sultan of Huzuz. She was captured Friday, August 2, 1395.

The next was the chultan woman. She gave her name as Keesa Boku. She was surprised, but answered questions. She revealed she is the daughter of an important merchant in Chult. She was going to the market with a servant when she was captured, and the date was Mon 21, February, 1396.

The next woman was the Mulani. She gave her name as Alina Odesseiron. Cassius recognized this woman as the daughter and heir of Homen Odesseiron, Tharchion of Surthay. He revealed this information later. She was obviously surprised and frightened, but wasted no time, and told the party if they brought her to her father -unharmed-, they would get a ransom. They realized she had been kidnapped before. She did not seem to like Cassius. She was captured Thursday, 11 August, 1393.

The party decided to release the untainted Zenythri. She gave her name as Zira-Oku Dalzakagar. She showed no fear. They asked what became of her world, and she told them of "Ar-Ya-Rakul" her demiplane home coterminous to the Astral Plane. As Zenythri royalty, she was offered a choice to be resigned to the fate that befell her, or have her kind perish forever. On the small chance she and her kind could repopulate and recover some day in the distant future, she chose the only option she saw as reasonable. She was captured Tuesday, January 11, 1211.

Lastly, they revived the doppleganger. He gave his name as Ino Hof. Through context, they discovered he is a possible assassin and spy. They considered an arrangement to further their goals, and he seemed open to it. The party couldn't shake the feeling the moment he found a better offer, he would take that instead, however. He gave his day of capture as May 20th, 1392.

Using Omen's detect good, they found out the Chultan, the Moon Elf, and the Zenythri are good.
