Previous: Session 002; Next: Session 004


Start: 2nd of Duratus morning, leaving Port Ghamd, walking the western coast of the Greater Sheathe Gulf towards the Lighthouse

Walked 10 miles north along the rolling hill gulf coast, arrived at the Greater Sheathe Lighthouse

Observed 7 Kuo-toa in a line from the door to the east near the water. Some had buckets. Aoife was caught and combat ensued

  • Aoife went down, Archpriest with a squid on his head retreated up the lighthouse.

After the fight, group set up at the door of the lighthouse to rest. After 40 minutes, they observed a bright white flash from the peak. They stopped the rest and entered

Floor 1, The Keeper's Quarters. Observed dusty beds and furniture, followed the trail of salt water upstairs

Floor 2, The Storage Room. Otto was attacked by 2 Kuo-toa Whips from bookshelves in the doorway. In combat, the group discovered 2 Kuo-toa in the corners with 6 buckets each.

  • Combat was difficult with the whips, and multiple crits from the bucket throwers

Group short rested (1 hour) in the storage room, moved a bookshelf in front of the upstairs doorway

Floor 3, The Library. Group found this room badly burned. Most of the books and parchment stored were burned to ash

Floor 4, The Chapel. Two altars on either side of the room face each other, one with a smaller stone relief of the Grace Marshal (suit of armor, sword pointing down), another with a stone relief for the Flamebearer (stone candle and wick, unlit).

  • Aoife removed the stone sword from the Grace Marshal and turned it around to face up in the relief's hands. This triggered a flame to light on the stone candle of Migneus

Floor 5, The Peak. Group found the White Flame still burning strong atop its small (1.5' tall) platform.

  • Aoife followed a trail of salt (evaporated salt water) to the western side of the lighthouse and found a section of ropes leading down and out the lighthouse.
  • Aoife observed a glint in the grass below. Crax rushed forward and firebolted the grass. Aoife and Argus descended the slick, salt watered rope and retrieved the item - an unknown holy symbol, an empty circle whose perimeter is wavy (symbol of Di Mala, the Creeping Dread

End: Just after noon on 2nd of Duratus at the Greater Sheathe Lighthouse, having killed a number of Kuo-toa and discovering other individuals present had fled (Kuo-toa Archpriest, at least)
