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
  • The city is on fire! We can hear people screaming
We stow the wagon and hide it with some camouflage As we approach the city, we see people running around trying to fight the fire or rescue people from burning buildings We pull aside a goblin nearby and ask what is going on He said that "they came in the night" - a group of humans, fitting the description of the other mercenaries we met in Radan Erica is able to figure out where the local government building would be located, so we make our way there, avoiding craters and fire on the way When we arrive, we see a large gentleman that appears like he might be important and is directing people He is pretty distraught and asks us to help out with putting out the fires Jin is able to extinguish the flames in the entryway of the building using the Hunger of Hadar We make our way to the office through the use of an Eldritch Cannon that shoots water In the office, we see a figure run out and through the window.
    It looks like a hobgoblin Nick gets enraged and jumps out the window to chase after him Walter chases after Nick to stop him After a chase, some thrown corpses, and some emotional bro-hugs, Walter manages to stop Nick and promise to chase after his family's killer together Inside the office left behind, we found an empty safe Talking with the mayor, we find that the safe held some tax and census records as well as a necklace that contained a shard of dragon scale Jin is able to determine that a spot in the safe is seemingly colder than the rest of the safe, magically cold...
