Here is the post session map.


Here is the post session map. I was running off pretty sketchy notes about level 2 last time, so there's a bit of filling in detail I'd like to do at the start of the next session to set the scene. I'll post some room descriptions for the first four rooms in the comments below in a little bit. Note that the most Southern room is not one you've explored yet. You just poked in long enough to see that there were a couple doors to the west and perhaps an archway at the end. It looked like there were murals on the wall. I'll tag folks when I have the room descriptions up.

    Good question Cédric Plante. Here's what the party knows about the masks and the individuals involved. These individuals are from Zyan above, the flying city in the dreamlands that sits atop the rock from the bottom of which the white jungle hangs. (It's literally a mile above the party's heads right now.) They are the first and almost only NPC hirelings to descend to the base camp that the party has been operating from at the top of the White Jungle, the Pagodas of the hanging merchants. Other than the hanging merchants, people don't come down from Zyan anymore to the White Jungle.

    The party took them on a series of adventures exploring an interdimensional temple. In the course of the adventure, Cavimesh fought bravely against some demons.

    As for the masks, everyone in Zyan above wears masks associated with their clan, or guild if they are a guildsman. In the past the masks were ceremonial and only worn on special occasions, but owing to the decay of society, the Zyanese have retreated behind their masks, which are worn in public at all times now.

    Here was the original descriptions of the two NPCs.

    Cavimesh F1 HP7 AC6 (Splint) MR9 Climb2 Longbow 1d8 Shortsword 1d6 ½ share XP and Treasure
    He wears a grinning mask with a protruding tongue. He belongs to the imperfect Clan of the Grape Stompers. His demeanor is jolly. He says that he has come to the jungle because he exhausted his career prospects in Zyan above.

    Marulu F0 HP4 AC9 MR8 Climb1 100GP. He wears a grimacing mask with sweat dripping from its creased brow. He belongs to the contemptible Clan of the Porters. He appears to be a simpleton. He says in simple language that he has come to the jungle accompanying Cavimesh—who constantly jests at his expense.

Zyan as Scented by Hiero's Nose

The Sunken Circle, The Temple of The Archons Steps lead down from each of the five shrines into the sunken area at the center of the Temple of Archons. Along the wall of the depression at shoulder height, an inscription is carved, “It Belongs Not to the Pawn to Question the Intention of the Hand That Moves It”. The bulk of the sunken area is taken up by a single immense block of red stone that has been carved into a wondrous model of a city. When one descends the stairs, the model lights up, illuminated by the same light that currently falls on Zyan above. When you first viewed the model, the streets are lit by the mottled light of sun through dappled clouds. But later, when you poke your heads in to the temple, the model is lit by silver light of the moon and phantasmagorical pools that accumulate below the city's dangling colored lanterns. The model rises to shoulder height at its highest, and waist height at its lowest. It is stylized, with some buildings and locations of ou

The Riches of Bazekop

Image
Over the last five sessions, our party of daring dreamers plummeted in the aerie depths of the lowest level of the White Jungle on the back of a fleet of giant war crows, violent and wild, with a phalanx of storm rider paladins. Their mission was to loot the invisible tower of Bazekop, Prince of the South Wind. In all honesty, my imagination had begun to wear a bit thin and algorithms repeated themselves, over the course of these sessions. So, I’d prefer to be forward looking here. This post is dedicated solely to THE TAKE, the greatest take the party has pulled in our three years of adventuring. (I still hold that had Clovis been present, the party might have perished. The party has a long history of accidental but timely player absences. You wouldn’t have the Petal Blade had Sir Tresken been present for the session in the Cenotaph of Lady Shirishanu where you faced Shirishanu’s handmaiden. But I digress…) Unasi removes his chainmail armor, and sets aside his ho

Campaign News for 5/9/2019

Two weeks pass since you returned from Bazekop's tower with your epic haul. It takes a long time for the items you brought through to be identified, appraised, and for the payouts to the party. In the meantime, the party has been scouting real estate locations, doing research, and pursuing other long term downtime goals. During this time, the party learns of several rumors and events: Since the party's trips to the dreamlands are a state secret, none know the true source of the Chatelaine's newfound wealth and splendor. Wild rumors circulate about the Storm-Riders having won a legendary haul for her. Some say they hunted and slew an ancient dragon that roosted about the shattered isles. Others say that the Storm-Riders ventured in secret through the door in the locked down section of Carver's Quarter around Ultan's Old Print Shop and bring back the riches of the dreamlands. Meanwhile, everyone at the Temple of Ulim is speaking about the party in the Lavender R
