Session Summary
- We have crossed over the dome, and we are slowly making our way up the hillside while being watched by small vessels hounding the corpse of the vessel we fought
- We crest the hill and watch dawn break over the fields and city of Carcosa, an idyllic scene betraying the mystery of the place. The color which shines from the cities central tower is eerily similar to the color of the liquid in The Amphora.
- While taking a long rest, the bandit we had in the caravan escaped. Hen tracked the man to a farm on the hillside with a trapdoor underneath and a weird stone basement and an odd symbol on an oaken door.
- We enter the room - small room with a small mirror giving off magical presence and a small dart trap. The magical mirror has a small inscription on the bottom back âDarken the sun, brighten the slightâ - A mirror of sending and the inscription is the activation phrase. But the mirror was destroyed as the man at the mirror on the other side smashed his side.
- We stop in the city, receive our payment and spend some money on items.
- We travel to The Seraphim, help and heal some of the inhabitants. About 9 were injured in some occurrence between the grove and billows
- Described as being eaten by an invisible entity
- âPart of living in Carcosaâ
- Talked to the main doctor, Zelca, described by the The Beholden as the âinsolentâ or the Casapear, they investigate the disappearances in Carcosa.
- People who live in Carcosa for an extended period of time seem to lose the ability to see vessels - avoid the food grown in the city
- Told to travel to The Joy an inn ran by Carphius
- Assistant to doctor, Gurney, told us to deliver a sack with an item (told not to look at) to a small house with a small red door in The Billows, knock 4 times and tell them âDarken the sun, brighten the slightâ
- Additionally, the âParade of Lordsâ is to occur tomorrow around the city
- Asked by Carphius to examine the contents of a nearby building
- In the building two cages each with a decrepit person, seem to be tortured by someone, mentioned a man with white hair and orange eyes.
- In the basement of the building, a manhole is the entrance to a sewer-like area, taking you to a pile of bodies inside the sparkling towerÂ
- Uh oh she turned into a vessel (YIPEEEEEE)
