Last session was [[TTRPG/DND/Cruthea/Umbral Spark Campaign/Session Notes/2026-01-30|2026-01-30]] ## Current Party - [[Chelo Nian]] - [[Estellene Atropos]] - [[Barnie Marsh]] - [[Tajka Walenth]] - [[Dax Davenett Derichael Daydrich the Druid IV]] - [[Pemme]] - [[Roth Ira]] - [[Bie]] ## Before Session We are in [[Port Innsmouth]] and are being detained by [[Protectorate of the Umbral Primacy]] at [[The Lofted Spirits]]. ## During Session [[Tajka Walenth]] has a sister. [[Chelo Nian]] hands out business cards to the group. [[Kee]] greets the group as we approach [[The Lofted Spirits]]. There is a loxodon here named [[Trunks]] Barmaid is [[Jovanna Smit]] [[Branko Koche]] is the Protectorate leader who gave us his card [[Estellene Atropos]] asks for 'Moonwater' to drink [[Bie]]'s mouse can talk apparently. The mouse's name is [[Mouse]]. [[Estellene Atropos]] admitted she is from [[Ni'imora]], specifically [[Mossdeep]]. [[Pemme]] pulls out the item they took and start casting identify. [[Mouse]] thinks the blood on the item is bad, weird blood. This blood is probably not the blood of the undead worker. The SS Gallant is owned by the [[House Karsyn]]. We head up to [[Pemme]]'s room. The object is a grey dodecahedron with raised smooth metal edges. Glass windows. [[Residuum]] infused. Faint golden hue glowing inside. - not necessarily a phylactery, but kinda like a phylactery - it is storing something Two memories come from the artifact: - A woman in a laboratory, being strapped down inside a capsule, a gas fills the capsule, another woman says encouraging words, this is for the shared goal of [[Cirumbra]]'s further growth, spells are cast, there is a surge of white-hot heat, then the memory ends, presumptively in death - Different memory for the second person, smell of a coming rain, smell of tobacco smoke from alehouse, you head to a door, behind it is your 'quarry', the Umbral Primacy has laid its foundation on heresy, he will receive an Awakening, use magic to erase the doorhandle and lock, crest of [[House Drazhel]] inside, the quarry is hiding in his study, "we are spirit, we are will and wonder, bound to remember, born of one breath, one word, we are all one spark, wake up child, release the light, wake up and remember", his eyes show clarity, you see things from his perspective, and our memory-haver looks like: teal and dark blue cloak with orange hieroglyphics, dusty grey skin, large ethereal ringed golden halo behind your head, the quarry says he understand, and the memory-haver leaves, "the souls of cruthea may not see it yet, but soon they will understand, so very soon they will awaken" - [[Takashi's Tavern]] in [[Jogetev]] [[Jovanna Smit]] knocks on the door and now she knows we are all in one room. [[Chelo Nian]] intends to stay up all night keeping an eye on [[Pemme]]'s door. Rumors and things that people hear: - a ranger looking person says something about how strange it is that the [[Brumestone]] failed, as that is uncommon - the ports were not shut down after the crash, this docking area on the prime dock was shut down, but the docks as a whole are still functioning - [[Maribel Quince]] - middle-aged drunk lady who is saying: when she was checking the logs, the investigation was getting serious, they believe a senior member of the Ministry for Arcane Research was killed in the crash, but they didn't say killed, they said murdered, [[Merrick Voss]] was the one killed - Poem: Once upon a flower, as pretty as the blue sky and ocean, there you have such power, I forgot the rest of it - [[Sister Aurelia]] is a halfling woman is handing out pamphlets while wearing vaguely clerical robes - She is talking about [[The Golden Word]]. - [[Tajka Walenth]] uses her sister's name [[Tish Walenth]] - Encourages them to go to [[The Last Anchor]]. - [[Roth Ira]] asks about the explosion last week - [[Sister Aurelia]] says there was another big boom the week before that - "We have many friends in the south and the time will come soon for new alliances" [[The Golden Word]] is a New Religious Movement based on the sanctity of the human soul and framed against the use of the undead labor in [[Cirumbra]]. Drow with facial scar walks into the inn, like [[Dock Warden Jax]] told [[Roth Ira]]. ``` Chelo sees cloaked figures and needs to roll initiative 22 - Individual 21 - Bie 21 - Barnie 19 - Pemme 19 - Taj 18 - Dax 14 - Roth 11 - 3 individuals 7 - Chelo 1 - Estellene Chelo is knocked unconscious by arrow-shot Chelo was stabilized by Dax Bie gets the final shot Estellene offers surrender, he considers escape. Estellene has grappled the final survivor ``` One of the two other guests is a shadar-kai. The guy we captured has a medallion of the [[Nightwrights]]. John is our captive's name. We went to the basement to discuss things with [[Kee]]. ## Chelo's Messages The SS Gallant had failure of its [[Brumestone]] and catastrophically crashed into the docks, killing dozens. - That's quite the development, thank you for reporting back, I'll ask around.
