Recap to Current Situation

  •  We researched dragon necklaces, made friends with a single mom and kid, and ended up getting transported to a mysterious place from Erica's dreams...

Session Notes

  • The figure in this room apologizes for the abrupt way in which we were summoned
  • He says that we can refer to him as "The Archivist," working for the Council of the Few
He was unaware of us until we started making inquiries into dragon artifacts When he learned more about us, he was relieved to find out that we were not the other group of mercenaries, members of Red Omen He asks if we want to do some work for him to work against the Red Omen Red Omen info
    order that existed >3000 years ago thought not to exist any longer if it was alive, but in hiding, then it is likely most well informed about artifacts The Archivist is hoping that we can help go to the Grayogen Empire to ask the Empress, Lalali-puy, for cooperation against the Red Omen He says to ask the Empress, "Are you aware that Rajat still exists?" He can also help us get into the Empire Currently the Empire is having trouble with rural villages having their population suddenly disappear We hand The Archivist the amulet to examine and he says that the Cantrell family history about heroes is likely exaggerated
      Upon inspection, he believes that the amulet belonged to Naezo, a dragon heroine that protected the weak with a fiery temper Her residual magic resides in the amulet The Archivist thinks that the hobgoblins were being attacked because the Red Omen wishes for hobgoblin extermination (as one of their goals) We also ask The Archivist about "The One," previous owner of the VARDIS
        He says that The One is an extra-dimensional being, history is full of them Striking up bargains with warlocks to grant temporary power for some future cost Most beings like this try to remain anonymous, so The One might be a bit different in that regard In his youth, The Archivist ran across a similar being that The Archivist turned down Jin asks The Archivist about the Graves family
          Investigating birth records, Mrs. Graves is 35 years old, no father of the kids on record Completely unremarkable

          Quest begin: Seek audience with the Empress and collaborate to thwart the Red Omen

          Next steps:
            Go back to Wudu, say our goodbyes, fetch our VARDIS (and Porkchop) Head outside of town, somewhere unseen, teleport away to the Grayogen Empire Doing this, Jin inspects Osulf, the kid, and finds traces of magic on one of his shoes Jin reads the scroll to use the teleportation scroll He does a great job and we teleport right to where we were meant to, just inside the border of the Grayogen Empire We are in a temperate rainforest (think Pacific NW), weather is a little windy with light mist Our VARDIS is now located on the side of the road There is some motion ahead of us on the road, with armored humans approaching us Nick recognizes the banners as the colors of the Grayogen Empire Walter and Erica are driving the VARDIS and greet the soldiers We are welcomed by the soldiers due to our paperwork They want us to help them out with some things and will offer us a payment of 100 gold The captain's name is Adare Havsa We are asked to investigate a village whose population recently disappeared Villages have been disappearing since 5 months ago New village disappears each three weeks like clockwork Looks like people just literally disappeared ~30 soldiers in the town Upon investigating:
              The captain says this happened ~3 weeks ago However, nature has reclaimed too much to have just happened a couple weeks back The recent growth in the forest show that the tree roots are all growing in one direction toward the town We ask if there is a map of the empire with the town that have disappeared
                The map shows that the towns closer to their border have been effected first, moving closer to the center of the empire It is clear from arcana investigation that magic is influencing the natural growth here, possibly from a spirit of some kind
