# [[003_20230106 Spirit bear of free HP]] ![[memoria-003.png]] ## Session Summary > [!tldr] [[003_20230106 Spirit bear of free HP]] > The party restored Ivon by reminding him about Nevena telling him someone named Gellert had sabotaged the ritual. The party went on to explore a weeping, wailing forest that turned into a dirt road. At the intersection of that road was Stefanya's corpse. They got a vision of Stefanya wanting to stay and fight, but being attacked, paralyzed, and ultimately killed by something they recognized as The Forgotten. > > The party started to hear something moving from the direction of the Well of Shadows, and hurried to the portal with the now fully activated Light of Memoria. However, they'd moved too slowly, and The Forgotten easily caught up with them. Head Banger was paralyzed for a full round, The Forgotten summoned more shrouds to do his bidding and attack the party, and Van Healsing summoned her spirit totem, a bear, while turning into a boar herself. However, it was Edalyn who got the final blow, wielding the Light of Memoria as a mace and using the extra fury of The Memorians along with it. > > With The Forgotten defeated, Edalyn quickly grabbed some loot from the graveyard area she'd seen, and then everyone hurried out of the portal, Tymon included. After Edalyn stepped out of the portal, it flickered closed, and the Light of Memoria dimmed, spent. ^summary --- ## Housekeeping ## Recap ![[002_20230101 Mnemosyne remembered#^summary]] ## Strong start The party saw in the vision: - Nevena telling Ivon that something had gone wrong: Gellert had sabotaged the ritual, and now they're doomed. The vision disappears, and the courtyard that looked vibrant is now still. The market stalls are faded and long abandoned. The fountain of a woman has part of her face chipped off. Ivon begins to stand in front of you, a tattered version of the elven man you saw. (Van Healsing wanted to yell out something to him to restore him). ## Scenes - [x] [[Ivon]] is restored: *“This place defiles our goddess, warping our sacred memories. I will help you end it if I can.” Once he vanishes into the light, his body crumbles to dust, except for the amulet.* - [x] Finding [[Stefanya]]'s corpse by [[The Oubliette#12 The Shattered Road]] and restoring her. The [[Light of Memoria]] is fully charged. - [x] [[The Forgotten]] awakens and chases the party towards [[The Oubliette#1 The Arch|the portal]]. - [ ] On Round 10, the Forgotten flees through the portal. ## Secrets and Clues - [ ] [[Mnemosyne]] is the goddess of remembering and of leaving a legacy for future generations. - [ ] [[Tymon]] thinks he's on to something about the ley lines that [[Cagoth-ze]] didn't teach him: he thinks that when the [[Divine Gate]] was built, Mnemosyne used her powers to make the other gods forget her. Mnemosyne is still on *this* side of the gate, but she's dormant. - [x] [[The Forgotten]] wants the PCs to open the gate with the [[Light of Memoria]], but the doesn't want to kill them. He needs them to be able to escape. - [ ] If The Forgotten tries to get the Light of Memoria, [[The Memorians]] will refuse to work for him and the lights will go out. - [ ] There are ley lines in the water, and there is also a place in the sea where many ley lines intersect-- it's like a counterpart to [[Redtower]]. - [ ] With [[The Memorians]] gone, [[ttrpgs/The Slayers Five/The Luxon|The Luxonborn]] gained power in [[ttrpgs/The Slayers Five/Xhorhas|Xhorhas]] and chased away the stone giants that ruled [[Rosohna]]. (Goliaths are descendants of the stone giants.) - [ ] [[Edalyn]] is not like other elves or drow. She is an astral elf, one transplanted here by unknown circumstances, and it is known that all astral elves eventually heed the call of [[ttrpgs/Light of Memoria/Ruidus|Ruidus]]. - [ ] [[Cagoth-ze]] waits in [[The Scarlet Citadel]]... but he serves another master, one more powerful than he, and also one more able to give Cagoth-ze the knowledge he seeks. - [ ] Those who follow [[ttrpgs/The Slayers Five/The Luxon|The Luxon]] have the ability to manipulate time and space. - [ ] The orc tribes are rallying under one leader (the Iron Brute) and they're growing weary of drow rule in [[ttrpgs/The Slayers Five/Xhorhas|Xhorhas]]. ## Locations - [ ] [[The Oubliette#9 Memoria's Courtyard|Memoria's Courtyard]] - [ ] [[The Oubliette#11 The Weeping Forest|The Weeping Forest]] - [ ] [[The Oubliette#12 The Shattered Road|The Shattered Road]] - [ ] [[The Oubliette#1 The Arch|The Arch]] ## Loot - [x] [stone of good luck](obsidian://open?vault=ttrpg-vault&file=items%2FMagic%20Items%20for%20Dungeons%20%26%20Dragons%205e%20SRD%2FStone%20of%20Good%20Luck%20(Luckstone)) (Eda) - [ ] Cuff of forgetting: cast *Smoke Chain* 1x/day --- the party let [[Tymon]] have this. - [x] 3x *amulet of memory* (all three; one each) - [x] [Seven-flavoured tea of forgetfulness](obsidian://open?vault=ttrpg-vault&file=items%2FVault%20of%20Magic%2FSeven-Flavored%20Tea%20of%20Forgetfulness) (Eda) - [x] gold diadem worth 250 gp (Eda) --- ## Log Immy really likes the puzzle aspect of it. She liked the temple, Shemshime, more things like that. Add stuff to D&D Beyond: - [ ] Need to make sure all characters have the right items (above). - [ ] Add the Light of Memoria as a mace for Edalyn.
