# 22_20201121 Who Is Declan ## Session Summary After some of the Ustilagors fled and we defeated the others remaining, we talked to Declan. Maestro told Declan that Father Tyson was dead, and Declan took this news with surprise but not sadness, despite the fact that he said Father Tyson had taken him and his brother in when they were young. Declan said that he had been scouting for his Order while hunting demons in Ebenheim, three days' travel from Helm's Hold, when a portal had opened and he'd found himself in the Ballista Room, then the Temple of Bahamut, and then the Well Room. The other room changed into the Stone Garden Room, and we decided to just take a long rest in the Well Room. During the night, the door opened, but nothing came in and I closed the door with my mage hand. The other room turned into a Kitchen. When we woke up, we chose a door and ended up in the Ballista Room, except gravity was horizontal. We climbed down using the immovable rod, rope, and the ladder and we enter the Kitchen again. ^summary ## Recap ![[21_20201120 Ustilagors Attack#^summary]] ## Log - {{[[table]]}} - **Name** - **Damage taken** - **Total HP** - **Healing Surges** - Maestro - 0 - 56/56 - - Ka'ira - -36 - 67/68 - 12/12 - Hill - - 51 - Gloomtoes - - - Xio - -10 - - Eraithe - -0 - - Declan - - 11 - Interrogating Declan - Declan is badly injured. - Declan did not go to Neverwinter but we somehow ended up in the same place. He was scouting for his order in [[ttrpgs/Order of the Wandering Mind/Ebenheim]] (?). - Declan and Maestro met in [[Helm's Hold]] - He seems genuinely surprised to learn that [[Father Tyson]] was dead, but he doesn't seem sad about it. - Father Tyson took Declan and his brother in some time ago. He owes Father Tyson his place in this world because he gave Declan training to help master his mind. - Tattooed arm - Declan says Father Tyson told him about it, but obviously FT didn't tell Maestro - FT trained Declan for the first part of his training, and then someone else ("Master") took him in. This Master has no way of sending people dreams or affecting minds, only bodies. - He was scouting the mountainside, tracking demons, when a blue portal appeared. About 3 days' travel from Helmshold through forest and mountain terrain. - Declan offered to take Maestro to the Master, but warned that Maestro must have particular traits before the Master will teach him. - [[ttrpgs/Order of the Wandering Mind/The Order of the Gilded Eye]] - have started employing angels to fight demons - a bunch of clerics, paladins, fighters that worship thorm and Tyr. - Ka'ira is part of a similar order. - We tried to go back, but even though the door wasn't closed, it's a new room. Stone room. 5' circular hole in the ceiling. There's another door that leads out. #[[Stone Garden]] - Piles of dirt, knee-high. We can barely see the floor - covered in soil or dirt. - Has a faint smell of rot - We take a long rest-- this means the wellroom is not in [[Neverwinter]]. - wooden door: Another room with stone tables built into the wall, and the room has pots and pans. #[[Kitchen]] - 20 x 30' - stone door with an oblong mirror where head and chest are - magical robes - [[ttrpgs/Order of the Wandering Mind/Robe of Magical Patches]] - funky looking robe - dark green material - designs sewn into the fabric - 2 daggers - 3 lanterns - 2 mirrors - 2 sticks - 2 ropes - ~~2~~ 1 sack - 1: used in [[23_20201122 Bullying the Blazing Skellies]] - 3 doors - ~~1 ladder~~ - used in [[23_20201122 Bullying the Blazing Skellies]] - 1 window - 1 coffer - 1 dog - 1 pit - 2 vials - 1 battering ram - gave to [[Maestro]] - Two doors - wooden door - stone door with an oblong mirror where head and chest are - We go to the wooden door: [[Ballista Room]] - But as soon as Ka'ira enters, she gets disoriented and falls. Gravity seems to be horizontal. - She opens the wooden door: kitchen - Maestro uses his ladder patch to create a ladder. We use it, the immovable rod, and my rope to climb "down" to the next door and use my mage hand to get the rod back. - I write "kitchen" on this side and "ballista" on the other side. - [[Kitchen]] - metal door with small windows and bars -
