# [[The Gauntlight]] The Gauntlight is the name of the lighthouse just outside of [[Otari]], in the [[Fogfen]] swamp. In [[006_20220528 Begrudge not the thieving monkey#^b24f9f|the Otari Fishery]], we got a map from the kobold queen that depicted what looked like a dungeon. [[Quen]] suddenly remembered a nursery rhyme that seemed to fit the description: > When the fog is creeping and the moon is low, when the town is sleeping, gauntlight starts to glow. That's when she arises for her midnight lunch. Naughty kids are prizes for her teeth to crunch. But if you obey me and obey the rules, you're safe from [[Belcorra]]. She just eats the fools. You can get to The Gauntlight by going into the [[Fogfen]]. The Lighthouse towers above the surrounding swamp. ## Locations in The Gauntlight - [[The Gauntlight Level 1 - Mitflits]] - [[The Gauntlight Level 2 - Morlocks]] - [[The Gauntlight Level 3 - Ghouls]] - [[The Gauntlight Level 4 - Ghosts]] - [[Level 5]] - Gladiatorial arena with themed rooms ## NPCs and Factions in The Gauntlight ```dataview table description as "Description" from "ttrpgs/The Undead Unkillers" WHERE contains(type,"NPC") and contains(location,"The Gauntlight") SORT file.name ASC ``` ## Factions in The Gauntlight ```dataview table description as "Description" from "ttrpgs/The Undead Unkillers" WHERE contains(type,"faction") and contains(location,"Gauntlight") SORT file.name ASC ``` ## Monsters ```dataview table description as "Description" from "ttrpgs/The Undead Unkillers" WHERE contains(type,"monster") and contains(location,"The Gauntlight") SORT file.name ASC ``` ## Session 081 - Death Shepherd Battle - **Combat Encounter**: The party engaged in a major battle with ghasts and the [[Death Shepherd]] - **Entrance Navigation**: Party disabled and re-enabled barrier constructs to gain access to deeper levels - **Tactical Planning**: Party developed a multi-phase plan to permanently defeat the Death Shepherd - **Combat Strategy**: Focused on eliminating all minions first, throwing minion bodies down a pit to prevent resurrection - **Defensive Tactics**: Planned to prevent the shepherd from reaching the pit by grappling and blocking line of sight ## Session 085 - Level 5 Exploration - **Level 5 Discovery**: Explored [[Level 5]], which functions as a gladiatorial arena with various themed rooms - **Historical Murals**: Found murals depicting [[The Order of the Ebon Hand]] fighting aberrations, led by [[Jade Quarion]] - **Undead Transformation**: Discovered that when someone is killed in this level, they can become undead, creating [[Hollow Eye Harbinger]]s - **Fungus Infection**: The party became infected with a fungus while exploring this level - **Teleportation Circles**: [[Galiath Banderdash|Galiath]] can operate teleportation circles throughout The Gauntlight for a fee ## Session 077 - The Clone's Revelation - **MAJOR REVELATION**: A clone of [[Zarmavdian]] revealed that [[Belcorra]] was installing [[The Fulcrum Lenses]] as the last part of The Gauntlight - **Lens Purpose**: The four lenses were supposed to focus something, but [[The Roseguard]] did not know what they were meant to focus - **Attack Timing**: The Roseguard attacked while Belcorra was in the process of installing these lenses - **Current Status**: The Gauntlight hasn't turned on since the party left, leaving [[Otari]] vulnerable to werewolf attacks
