The kobolds had been captured by the Black Knight three days earlier after fleeing from [[Jafaki]], who had examined their gun. They provided valuable intelligence about the Gauntlight's layout, including areas with giant snake-like creatures, a water area with five pits, a heavily guarded southern section, and the location of the [[Gibtas Bounders]]. > > The party looted the construct's remains (worth 90 gold in monster parts) and discovered that the local plants have evolved to exude an aura blessed by [[Gozreh]], which hurt [[Vayle]] slightly but represents nature's resilience against the odds. Bond learned that this Black Knight was one of [[Volluk Azrinae]]'s earliest and more functional works, compared to his later showy but inefficient constructs. ^summary %% ## Video [Video]() %% --- ## Recap ![[ttrpgs/The Undead Unkillers/105_20260104 The Black Knight Falls#^summary]] --- ## Log The construct was definitely made by [[Volluk Azrinae]]. It sounds like there's something trying to get out from the [[Soldier Construct|Black Knight]] itself! [[Grumblebum|Grumble]] tries to examine it, but can't figure out how to open it. [[Jaspen Bond Callistair|Bond]] looks at it, removes the soul gem, and learns how to open it. Thoughtsense detects two thoughts inside. Bond realises that this is one of Volluk's earliest works. He now uses a lot of techniques that aren't really efficient but are showy. This one's more functional and direct, but also a bit cruder. Two kobold kids come out! They recognize "Mr. Bond". It's [[Andy]] and [[Gran]], coming out of the Black Knight with a bandanna of smokepowder and also a gun. Gran says that the Black Knight fights everything, and Andy corrects him and says that the Black Knight actually STOPPED fights. They've seen little worms that turn into a big worm, [[Jafaki]]. The Knight captured them. One of the snake people with no noses were trying to kill them and the Knight killed the snake people and captured the kobolds. They have been there for about three days. Jafaki talked to [[Stonescale Kobolds]] about Bond's gun. Jafaki also has a gun. He also looked at their gun but gave it back. He did take one of their black pepper "things" though. Then they got bored, so they left while he wasn't looking. He was busy with many things. There were lots of things in his lab. It was easy to get lost. Loot - chain shirt - pick - caltrops - professional fishing tackle - spyglass - 14 pitons - 30 feet of chain Bond talks to Gran and Andy and gets information about where they had been. The kobolds tell him about where else they've been: - tunnels where there were giant snakelike things that ran away from the Black Knight - a water area that has five pits from the room above it - to the south of the tunnels and before the water area, there is an area that was always guarded. - the flying devils fighting the flesh warps - they found the [[Gibtas Bounders]]. 90 gold monster parts for the Black Knight. Keywords: - *construct, fire, force, poison, mental, vitality, void, strength, con, bludgeoning, heavy armor, shield with hardness, darkvision, athletics* The plants here have evolved to exude an aura that hurts [[Vayle]] a bit. They learn that they are blessed by [[Gozreh]], the god of nature, freedom, wilderness. He blesses creatures that survive against the odds. ## AI ![[106_20260111 If you can't beat em, climb inside em]] [[106_20260111-transcript]] %% # Excalidraw Data ## Text Elements ## Drawing ```json {"type":"excalidraw","version":2,"source":"https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin/releases/tag/2.0.25","elements":[],"appState":{"theme":"dark","gridSize":null,"viewBackgroundColor":"#ffffff"}} ``` %%
