Recap to Current Situation

  •  We caught a bug in a bag of holding and don't know what to do with it

Session Notes

  • The group decides to carry the bag with them to the focal point of where the other Vardo are arranged around
  • As we approach, Jin's brain feels itchy, like it is filled with static
  • We decide to continue proceeding
  • Ahead of us, we see a patch of dead grass in a clearing that has a pool of bubbling substance
  • Erica decides to investigate by poking it with a stick
  • The goop wraps around the stick and pulls the stick away and throws it aside
  • We try to catch the insect as we release it, but it escapes into the pool
  • Out of the pool comes a humanoid-insect being that is dressed in a nice suit
  • It thanks the group for helping it become whole, it refers to itself as "One"
  • Jin tries to talk with The One, warlock to patron (mind to mind)
  • Jin asks what happened to The One
    • It says that it was dead, but is not dead any longer
    • It enacted a contract clause with employees to revive it
    • The One doesn't know who killed it
  • Jin is able to deduce that The One is a being of great power that exists outside the Prime Material Plane (PMP)
    • It is some kind of abberation from another plane that is an individual being that was exiled from its plane that was otherwise full of collective beings
    • When it dies, it needs to build a network of warlocks to sacrifice in order to come back to the PMP
  • The One offers insects to the party to have them become employees
  • It offers a reward to the party; one of the Vardo that it's former Warlock was using
  • Before the party can use it, The One removes a small box from the Vardo, but now the Vardo is free to use for the party
    • The Vardo is bigger on the inside! It is some kind of dimensional anomaly
  • We also ask The One about the other group of Mercenaries that we ran into
    • It is familiar with these mercenaries, but not much more detail beyond that
  • We have dubbed the Vardo the VARDIS - acronym pending
    • tentatively Vehicle And Relative Dimension In Space
  • The group decides to get back on the road back to Wudu
  • Day 1
    • No events
  • Day 2
    • The group is attacked by bandits
    • Roll Initiative!
    • The bandit leader was knocked out and was named Bruce
  • We win the fight and Jin wants to chat with the bandit
    • He tries to deceive the bandit to learn info about the area
    • He does not succeed, so we decide to kill Bruce
  • RIP Bruce

  • Level up to level 3

  • We continue on our way to Wudu
  • We see smoke rising in the sky above Wudu
