Full Report:
After a short meeting at the The Blinking Pug, Guhdhag tells the party of his purpose of freeing his trapped Goddess. He gathers a few materials, and the party sets out for Kobolds of the Watchers' Tribe territory. Bluffing their way into a sealed off silver mine, they put down some undead, taking note of a particular Necromancy stone. Realizing a different ritual or resources would be needed to purify the source, they pressed on. Reaching a 'safe room' (written in Aklo), Guhdhag leads the party in performing a ritual that transports the group to the surface of the moon (thankfully with protections from the extreme temperatures and lack of atmosphere).
The party trailed behind Hecret and Guhdhag, following a 'pull' to a cave filled with crystals. Discovering 2 Crystal Unknowns guarding a pool of water, dialogue was exchanged between Hecret, the dragons, and the party, about their presence. They had been tasked by the dragon dieties (Tiamat and Bahamut) with guarding this 'tomb', holding a 'dead God' called Monday, that had previously "cultivated and slaughtered civilizations".
The party took their leave to plan, and returned to attempt to convince the dragon(s) to leave their post. Hecret became a bit too forward in his insistence of seeing the seal, leading to us battling the pair of draconids. The party managed to knock them out, at Jericho's urging, and Hecret and Guhdhag descended to the bottom of the pool. The pair managed to break the seal at its depths, causing the moon to crack and shift, and light to spill out. Jericho attempted to resuscitate the dragons, but their life force was drawn away instead, and the party was forced to recall as the moon continued to quake.
