Burgess — Session 14 (December 17, 2022) — Finale

• Did not have Zybilna’s true name; decided to explore further
  • Looked at the paladin frozen midair; explored above to see if we could save him
• Went further right; saw a room with a frozen dwarf
  • After freeing him, he offered Kizz a chance to copy from his spellbook
• Went further; found a gargantuan bird stuck in a time loop — couldn’t free it, didn’t know the name, behind iron bars
• Went to another room; found a malformed giant eating food
• Went upstairs; Acesis picked up another gem — a red gem that hums faintly
  • Rolled insight; did not determine what part of Zybilna it was
• Went up another staircase; floating 10’ above was a banshee frozen mid-scream
  • Outside the room: Strongheart floating in midair
  • Saw nearby: two of the hags
• Room with a hatch; a bugbear inside yelled; went further
• Room flooded; a sailboat floated into view
• Turned around to tell Ringlerun about seeing the hags near Strongheart
• (Stepped away — while away, they found a weapon theoretically)
• Returned when they found a guest room
• A door asked which was more important, intelligence or wisdom — Anthony answered
• Found a room with two animal-featured human hybrids who asked if we were important
  • Acesis gave them quite a bit of information
  • They did not know Tasha’s true name, but were looking for Zybilna
  • Looked in a mirror — didn’t see it
  • Chess game at the start — the chess pieces grumbled when moved
• Final room in the boat region: a library with blank books and a quill
  • Acesis wrote “Early life of Natasha” on the title line — the writing disappeared
  • Tales of the Gloaming Court worked; could do two copies
• Returned to Zybilna and freed her with the name Natasha
  • She told us we can create a representation of an eclipse
• Returned to the room with the heads that made sounds — made it say “Baba Yaga”
• Teleported into the room with the sisters; fought them
  • Endelyn disappeared; Skabitha fought; Skabitha fled downstairs
  • Saw the League of Malevolence
  • Warduke died — got his stuff
  • Kelek disappeared; Skabitha disappeared; killed the basilisks
• Zybilna gave us one wish — Acesis chose resistance to necrotic damage

Campaign ended.
