The group continues their way through Shoklee's tower, after beating back his beasts at the entrance. Volk Lesnoy, noticing an odd human corpse in the beasts' enclosure, looking out of place on Katiel, decided to investigate it, finding a bloodstained piece of a letter saying "Your Order...", as well as a pin with a symbol of a skull in front of some chains. Volk had his suspicions about it, but those were confirmed when Cerviel mentioned that this was the symbol of the Jailers of the End. This man likely had been one of their agents. Philomena Snapdragon asked Cerviel to have a conversation about what he knows about them, after they were done here.
On the next floor, the party found a large collection of statues, as well as a magically sealed, metal door, leading to the next floor; putting things together, it seemed like the party would be able to find the key to the next floor somewhere on this floor. After looking around, the party was able to find four animated statues, which then were promptly dispatched; though they left the party a bit exhausted. The key to the next floor was found inside one of the statues, and to the next floor they went.
Upon reaching the next floor, the party found a closed door... with a door knob and keyhole. Remembering the Domclavis she and Volk had, the party decided to use it to rest up before exploring more. This was a good decision, as this floor seemed to be some sort of arcanium, guarded by several magical creatures, such as mechanical snakes, paper golems and even oozes made from other intruders called "Yaga Goo"; which Philomena recognized, as the Archhag Baba Yaga utilized these and turned intruders to her hut into these. They also found a room that, as Kaliah "Mama K" Stratum looked through the keyhole, contained a demonic summoning circle, likely rigged to go off once the door was opened. Deciding to only touch that after they were done, they sealed it with a bookshelf, an moved on. They also found a teleportation circle, committed it to mind on a piece of paper, and then rigged it with spears, in case Shoklee utilized it mid-battle.
The party then found the next key and moved to the next floor; the top of the tower, where Shoklee resides, and has already been waiting. The battle was quite swift, but Shoklee was able to deal quite a bit of damage to the party using poisonous and acidic spell work. Nonetheless, Philomena was able to finish off the Yuan-Ti wizard with a swift rapier-stab and slice to the head.
SESSION END.
