Session Journal – April 17, 2024
4/17/24
High above the cliffs, a room glows with crystals, two rulers argue surrounded by rich people shit. They point to other floating islands on a map, they speak of fighting the Boggarts before they move on to their own floating islands. The woman speaks stating that their citadel is hidden by magic and fighting to Boggarts would just reveal them. Simirel – The magic woman ruler and her Brother – ??? We fade out to Drydus who has woken from a dream of perhaps his brother and sister, who he thought were dead on his original world, that he possibly abandoned. Though he knows for certain that they are here on this world speaking of the Boggarts ships.
We’re back in the Finna village and it’s significantly more fortified at least by magic. We know we were being followed by Boggarts but we’re not sure how many as we think we lost them 3 days ago.
We talk about a plan to meet up with Drydus’ siblings in the sky and how we would get there. We talk about stealing the Boggarts flying ships either sabotaging 2 or stealing 1 or something but either way trying to get all 3 so we’re not followed. Before we plan our new heist we delve into Drydus’ back story.
His home world suffered some sort of catastrophe and he escaped through a portal thinking his whole family was already dead. The catastrophe was the PLANE BREAKER that was proceded by a swarm of demon locusts that destroyed the cities and the sky split reveal the plane breaker and he escaped through a cubic gate. He lost the cubic gate trading to survive in Sigil. The dream of his siblings shook him thinking they were dead this whole time and being unsure if it was actually true. He is used to messing amongst other’s dreams and to have his own be strange is very unsettling. He decides against telling the rest of us his dream but is going along with the ship stealing plan so he could possibly get to his siblings.
Pip’s world was sucked into hell and thought she was a ghost and a trinket on Maggie’s belt until being freed and wants to figure out what actually happened. Her ultimate goal is to find the fate of her sister who was last seen during the cataclysm that sucked her city into the nine hells.
Susan as far as we know was once a great wizard that ruled over her families lost kingdom now destroyed and essentially a kingdom of the dead.
Duckfoot is just out for an adventure and wants revenge on the Don.
Orna is running from “the bleaching”.
EVERYDAY I NEED TO ROLL A D20 TO SEE IF MY GOLDEN LION RETURNS, 20 IT RETURNS 1 ITS GONE FOREVER.
We have 4 days for downtime. Drydus has something for Pip, it’s the sun dazzler that Spin had when he died. Orna heads out to the woods to get wasp venom, he hear a few roars until we see her run full speed out of the woods chased by a huge feathered tyrannosaurus and we roll initiative.
It reaches Orna in a few strides reaching down and attempts to swallow her whole but she just ends up inside of its gullet. She throws a ice bomb while inside and does 12 frost damage and icey cloud releases from it’s mouth and it begins running at the wall of the keep. I back up and run fast jumping from the edge of the wall and whiff it smashing into the ground about 9 feet from the dinosaur, it cocks it’s head looking at me like a confused bird. Duckfoot recalls knowledge but has seen this kind of creature before in the outlands of Sigil. It’s dumb as shit but it’s AC is 29, he then yells this to all of us for +1 attack bonus then he shoots it, blowing a chunk of flesh off. Pip pulls out the SUN DAZZLER unlocking the hatch and shooting off a huge explosion of light against the dinosaur and susan, both of us roll super high and are unaffected lol.
The monster is called the mother humper, it steps forward slamming Susan into the ground then picks her up in its jaws and flings me at Duckfoot but I hit the wall and latch on now back on the wall. I jump off the wall and run up to it as it burps from Orna’s spell and I swing at it’s leg tendon taking a large piece of it as it snaps at me from underneath, Duckfoot shoots at the face hitting the side of it. It begins dodging his shots. Pip takes out her bow and fires an arrow and misses twice. Drydus casts blindness on the creature blinding it for 1 minute. It sniffs the air then lashes out attempting to hit Susan but misses then swings its tail slamming into me for 24 damage, then it turns around towards me stumbling over a log and falls prone. We see a spear tip poke out from inside of its throat then pull back inside. I stab it while it’s down onto its neck, blood is spraying everywhere and stab it again but it’s flailing around blind and bleeding with Orna still in its throat. Duckfoot shoots for 51 damage and the tyrannosaurus’ head explodes, Susan stops hacking and looks up at Duckfoot. From the neck crawling out is Orna, holding a wasp abdomen for her formula and lifts it smiling. I look absolutely fucked up, more than probably any of these people have seen me before. The Finna cheer and chop up the Mother Humper for a feast.
BACK TO THE DOWNTIME, Duckfoot plants traps around the village. Susan spends time healing from the Tyrannosaurus flex then comes to Mad Maggie attempting to recall memories from her past and figure out who she is/was before she woke up in Sigil. Pip spends time scouting the perimeter looking for what’s coming. Drydus attempts to repair the cataclysm wand, but while getting close to fixing it he can’t quite figure it out.
WE ALL GET 2 JERKYS OF MAJOR HEALING made with the heart muscles of the Mother Humper. Orna has a rib bone made into a spear for herself. Pip gets bone tipped arrows.
The end.
