Rool — Session 27 (May 4, 2023)

The Korred Clans & the Basilisk’s Stomachache

(Took a long rest at the start.)

• Flint Clan: Went to the Flint Korreds first. When they arrived, saw two Korreds fighting. Myster charmed them. Found out they were sleep-deprived.
  • They told the party to talk to Budoc (the leader). He said they needed to silence the brigganocks who were making noise that interrupted their sleep.
  • Searched and found it was little creatures called mites that enjoyed making irritating noises. Dawn made her own noise and led the mites into metal cages. Once covered, the mites went back to sleep.
• Basalt Clan: Saw Korreds including Yana, the leader. The ground rumbled.
  • She said that Gorgoniad and other Korred friends had gone off and had not returned.
  • Went to rescue them. Investigated a house and saw a map to the Brigganock mines.
  • Went there, found a river of lava. On an island, saw kids cowering from a pair of salamanders stalking them.
  • Turns out the salamanders were looking for their eggs — an obsidian clan had taken them. Returned the kids and the eggs.
  • Heard there was a dragon shrine laden with bloodstones and glittering gem stones.
• Marble Clan: Went to the Marble Korreds to seek peace. They declined to fight — they were artists and uninvolved. The kids dragged Dawn aside to talk about gathering materials.
• Worked with the kids to make a puppet/statue that mocked Endelyn. She was controlled like a marionette by the eclipse — did a “thriller dance” and [freed her from her parts?]. With that, they convinced the adults: if the kids could be inspired, they should be too.
• Slate Clan: When her mother passed away, Myzilda became leader of the Slate clan. She was on board with joining but unsure of her own ability.
  • A puzzle to earn an item. Myzilda saw an inscription: you should always lead by example. She gifted the pendant to the party to lead by example. The party gave it to Jingle Jangle since it can counter [harmful] effects.
• Jagu appeared with a look of concern. He explained they had been working on statues to put outside the Brixemout mines, but a basilisk had mistaken them for prey and had stomach issues from eating the statues. The party teamed up to help the basilisk empty its stomach.
• Ended here. The party learned how to manipulate [marionettes/levers?] for the next step.
