Four Fates Under the Southern Sun, 3.5, Session 27

Start: 6 am, Foreautumn 23, 401 GA

After examining the situation carefully, the party decided to bypass the aquatic threat.

Continuing on aloft on Winter, they passed into a chamber with a branching path and several spawning pods. The pods appeared to contain a few of the transformed creatures. Additionally, in one of the pods lay a deceased Ishite priestess. Her belongings appeared badly damaged, aside from a scroll case. Emilia made quick work of this, cleaning off the case and finding a scroll of restoration inside. Evidently her bodyguard was contained in another of the pods, nearly entirely liquified by the humor.

However, another of the pods contained a harpy, evidently alive and healthy. Upon a closer examination, the humor of the pod appeared to be free of parasitic taint.

The party decided to free her, and restore her senses, once they determined what afflicted her. After a brief introduction, they decided to join up for now.

Together, they explored the north branch. It evidently led out, and was sealed in a similar way the giant's tomb was. That is to say it was not sealed against passage for the party.

A further exploration by Pan revealed a path back to the spawning pool entrance of the cave.

Taking stock of this, they explored further down the only path left unexplored. There, they found several of the deeplings, and perplexingly, Iaril awaiting them.

They made short work of these creatures.

The chamber shook, and an enormous creature emerged from the depths. They determined this creature is a spawn of the queen of filth, Gisarlarinzee. It was accompanied by a retinue of Iaril. They braced for the engagement.
