Session Eighty-Two Summary (Graveyard of Empires: After the Fall)

Session 82, February 16 2022

Introduction

We continue at 3:20AM on the 4th of Denrilden (00.000.09.27 on the Apocalypse Clock) with the party split in two groups: on the surface of Curmidden, Velkin visited with an ancient elven woman named Solanna who lives in the middle of the jungle; meanwhile, in Malgrim, the party has confronted the Czizek Jagartha in the high temple and things have deteriorated quickly into a physical struggle ...

Kauri charms the Czizek Jagartha and he corroborates the story that the junior priest Taman was corrupted by the Silence and tried to assassinate the Czizek Jagartha.

Taman is deposited in a cell in a converted store room down below.

We stop by the citadel and tell Sir Firthold about the "assassination" attempt and he will use it to request volunteers to go fight the Silence for trying to assassinate the high priest.

We then go check the embassy to verify that the Higeki guards are there. There are four guards and suggest that those in the embassy take a Higeki guard.

Dampfoot has a friend Rot Breath who wants a job, Lungmold OKs it and says talk to Cybil.

Talk to Jax and Ithirialma.

Itirialma will join us once we reach the Inquisitor's Library.

Rest of party rejoins Alician, Ajax, and a few Winter Elves inside Velkin's portal.

Alician says, "Finally, you missed out on some weirdness."

Mentions meal with old woman, cemetery, flying snakes, Jardin will reach Eastern shore by mid day.

Velkin & Jardin continue their journey and reach the coast and Jardin lands and promptly declares he will sleep.

The plan is for Jarin to sleep til the next morning. It is now midday.

They passed an automaton with a pile of gears like worship, and spotted two giants. Velkin decided to investigate the giants and sent to the stream.

Velkin came upon a group of giant beetles and evaded them, as he is invisible.
