Still has one red eye that is gleaming in the darkness. She is still holding her mantis blades, but she doesn't seem to be moving normally. Something has changed. It's like she's crumpled. She's a bit bent over and... deformed? - She said that she agreed to let us go while she searched for the target of her contract. She said that she remembers that [[Vayle]] killed her. - No, she is not free of [[Belcorra]]'s influence even though she has died. - She asks us for a target. We say [[Jafaki]]. She says our task is to lure him to her level in two days. - Vayle attempts to break her contract. They succeed! Vayle becomes *Doomed* 1. The energy that made Siora undead and bound goes into Vayle. Siora slumps to the floor and dissipates. We don't know what has happened to her. Vayle's *Doomed* condition is not going to be removed after a long rest. - We pass through this level. This is where the [[Hall of Trophies]] was, where [[Ashnefrotty|Ash]]'s old body was. Something happened here recently. Those with [[The Apometi|the Apometi]]'s blessing realise that this level is free of vines and plants. We get back to [[The Rowdy Rockfish|the Rowdy Rockfish]]. Ash has nightmares. He's afraid of going insane, turning on [[Zuhri]], and leaving me alone. It seems like the roles are changing--instead of Ash being my guardian, he's the one who needs me to protect him soon. We go to [[Dawnflower Library]] to talk to [[Vandy Banderdash]] about Vayle's *Doomed* condition. She doesn't quite know what it is, though. She thinks it's Vayle's god telling them about something that they did down there. It's a Divine Bane. She reminds them that they need to be careful about the [[Pharasma|Pharasmins]], who walked out of town. She's sure they'll be back at some point. I ask about [[The Fulcrum Lenses]]. She doesn't know about them, but I speculate that it's possible that they summon [[Nhimbaloth]] or something. She says that that name has come up again and again in auguries and nightmares of people. We tell her about the portals that were opening in the Gauntlight. We visit [[Wrin]]. She saw a dog with two heads and seven legs. It was running around a sharp corner and it had a black Fulcrum Lens in its jaws. It was running after her. She went out in the open sky where everything was curved, and it stopped chasing her. She can't even sense Vayle's *Doomed* condition. We go to [[Morlibinth]]. I tell him about [[Zarmavdian]] coming to meet us in [[Otari]]. I ask about Fulcrum Lenses. He said that [[Vol Rajani|Vol]] mentioned somewhere that they interrupted Belcorra's ritual when she was about to place the fourth Fulcrum Lens. She was stopped before it happened. Vayle did the therapy for [[Lazda Venkervale]] before we went on the long rest. %% ## 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"}} ``` %% ## Granola ### Summary ![[plugins/Granola/Game with Kuya]] ### Transcript [[plugins/Granola/Transcripts/Game with Kuya-transcript|Game with Kuya-transcript]]
