Who’s Prometheus? Note about Prometheus being saved by their sister?
Gabriel has been tracking us, and then turned the water elemental against us and intends to kill us to kill all witnesses
04.21.0347 Late Afternoon | Sunken Temple
Sarah and Bloo were in B6
Nim and Yul are in B7, next to control panel
Nim is pulsing purple
Map from last session:
Nim would like to walk towards the light behind the secret wall
Yul ties Nim to a rope and Nim walks towards it
Nim is in magical darkness, and makes it through into the light
Nim unties the rope
At the end of the hallway is a dusty box, Nim goes to open it, it’s locked, the lid is stuck and the lock is rusty
Nim uses her crowbar to pry it open, not before feeling a release of gas pop open, there was some pressure in the box
Nim fails to sneeze
2 folded parchment in the chest
Nim reaches in, feels like it’s being submerged in ice cold water, manage to grab the papers, now feels like her hand is on fire
Nim yanks her hand out, it looks like it’s still on fire, but no pain, but your entire lower arm is on fire and radiating light
Nim walks towards magical darkness, the fire goes away, back in the light the fire returns
Yul hi fives the flaming hand, it does not burn Yul
Nim feels compelled to do impulsive things, feel an urge to find shiny things, very strong urge
Nim tries to rifle through Yul’s pockets for shiny things as Yul runs away
They chase each other around the control panel
Sarah and Bloo, Map Room
Insufficient amount of water to make it past the main hall
The reservoir below is low on water
Bloo opens a box, there’s a key, slightly rusted over key, key that would unlock either a chest (really large lock)
Bloo and Sarah jump into the middle tank to floor B7, go through top water barrier
See effigy of Thetis on left, see 2 boxes, a small crate and a large chest
Bloo tries key on small crate, the box opens
Inside is a note saying “to always keep the boiler on, otherwise the uppermost floors are at risk of freezing”
Key doesn’t open large chest
Nim chased Yul into the room
On the right side there’s a massive thick sheet of ice
Nim picks the lock, but it fails
Nim tries to pick the lock again, and manage to open it!
Inside, it appears to be empty
Nim holds her magical flaming arm in the chest, see that it’s starting to melt the bottom of the box, which was plated in armor
See text burning through, appears to be some weird message that pops up, but it’s in Celestial
Bloo: “SAAARAAAHHH”
Sarah: “Wtf happened to your arm”
Sarah: “I will save you Prometheus” signed “Your sister”
Nim retracts her hand, the message fades
Yul: “Nim you should run towards the ice wall!!” (ice wall on the right)
Nim tries to go back towards the chest, but it’s no longer there
Nim walks out of the magical darkness, and her arm no longer appears to be on fire and she no longer has an urge to have shiny things
The hidden corridor is gone
Boiler, there is a slot at the bottom of the gas panel, for a key
Bloo tries their key and give it a turn
Suddenly hear metal clanking and sparks and some heat, see that the boiler is emitting light, it appears as if the boiler is on!
We can now go through the ice wall from the previous room, there is a valve
Sarah turns the valve, everything suddenly starts to feel a lot warmer, hear in the distance water sprinkling down into the pool (plip plip plip)
Bloo’s key doesn’t work on either chest in the room past the ice wall
Nim picks the lock of the bottom chest, Bloo and Nim peer into the chest, it appears to be a horde of gold, but this is just an illusion, and there are melting ice cubes in it, there also appears to be a claw in it
Nim high fives the claw, nothing happens
Nim picks up the claw, it appears to be a creature that you haven’t seen before, but it looks like it’s related to a creature we’ve met
Nim gives it to Yul
It’s a pale blue-ish white, very bony
Nim tries to pick up an ice cube, it’s organic somehow
Yul tries to smell the ice(?), in this context, the ice is analogous to blood(?)
Yul gets 12 ounces of ice/water/blood/organic material(?)
Nim picks the lock to the top chest, which opened a lot easier than the other one, hear a screech and a weird creature flies up, it appears very sickly
It immediately starts attacking Nim
Tries to attack Nim, bloo silvery barbs (advtg to Sarah), Sarah and Nim attack it, it explodes and shatters
That was a Mephit, it appears the bottom chest had the corpse of a Mephit
Nim notices an opening at the bottom of the southern tank
Nim raises the water level to B6
Sarah and Bloo go back to the map room
New map:
Indicator in reservoir flashing
Bloo and Sarah go back to floor B7
Bloo is looking at the southern tank room, sees a tunnel that has opened
We all swim down
We all see a water elemental standing in the center, we are all no longer underwater, there was a water elevator
The water elemental judges us
Yul uses the rock of judgement, the water elemental does not mean us any harm
It tries to approach, but before it can approach, hear a noise
Nim is glowing an extremely vibrant purple
Nim feels a weird pulsing sensation on her neck where she got bit
We all hear a familiar voice, “so you show yourself here at last, I figured I would find you”
At the opposite end of the room, we see the fallen aasimar, Gabriel
He looks at us: “you certainly made it easy to track, I can’t believe that worked, I thought you were astute adventurers, it made my life so much easier, is there anyone else I must slaughter to prevent witnesses? Tell me, why are you here? Why did you come to Thetis’s temple?”
Nim: “Cause a blue stone told us to”
Gabriel: “Well you could’ve simply perished, but that’s not my problem, hand over the Sapphire and I’ll let you go free”
Nim: “Nah”
Gabriel: “I take it you head for half moon bay after this, I hope to see you again, but for now, I’ll leave you a parting gift, leave the sapphire here and I’ll collect it from your corpses later, oh and don’t bother trying to find me, I’ll love the pleasure of killing you, Alright, I’ll give you a nice gift, enjoy it!”
Gabriel shoots the water elemental, “Now die for me, goodbye!” and vanishes
And now the water elemental was blasted with a necrotic ray, it now has adorned armor and it appears to glow purple (same shade as Nim)
It screams and summons two water weirds
Bloo casts Armor of Agathys sometime here
Glowing purple, bug injected something in Nim so Gabriel could track them
Combat with Ruined Water Elemental
Nim: shoots the elemental, and then asks thetis for help from the sapphire, “Sorry he interrupted my control over the elemental, you’ll have to do this on your own, just try to hold out as long as you can”
Bloo: casts Hunger of Hadar
Water Elemental: Hear a weird shink of ice sound coming from the middle of the Hunger of Hadar, the elemental pokes his head outside
Yul: Guiding Bolts the elemental, its armor has been cracked a little
Sarah: Dashes and runs towards the elemental
Nim: shoots again, pierces it right where it was glowing, now no longer glowing
Bloo: Mirror Image, Mind Sliver (quickened), silvery barbs (advtg to Sarah)
Water Weird: Grapples bloo, destroys Armor of Agathys, 3 bloo clones left
Water Elemental: Tail that tethers it to water, swings blade down on Sarah, who silvery barbs, completely misses, feel an irradiating aura from its blade but Sarah is immune!
Yul: moves back a little, guiding bolt water weird that’s grappling Bloo
Sarah: Abjure the extraplanar, hits the elemental and one water weird, they will run from Sarah unless they take damage before their turn, notices a sense of remorse and reluctance from the mermadon/elemental, as though it doesn’t want to do this and it’s glad it’s being forced by Sarah’s divine power
