I set this game either in the future or the past of Amaranth Island, at a time when the Five Nations controlled Amaranth, but the characters were escaped prisoners just the same!
Notes from our note taker Andrew:
Location: Outside the keep, prison guards pursue the PCs; PCs disassemble raft and let it float away. PCs see a keep in the mist and enter first chamber. Statue of a Lord/Lady visible in the chamber. Lagghak (the Goblin Basilisk Warrior) explores alcove; dripping with acid, which she licks. Stone shifts when pushed.
Mud tracks (child-sized) in main room and chamber beyond, terminating abruptly at a polished wall.
Discovered tunnel behind alcove. Natural cavern.
Mud tracks end and slide under the wall.
Mold person emerges into second second chamber, sees Estam (the Elf Bard), brings Estam into door she came from while muttering about the disolving.
Lagghak find worshipping mutated catfish and befriends them.
War-painted halfling entered secret chamber and signals to Adel (halfling thief). Estam tries to ally with mold cultist “Dissolver”.
Dissolvers want the whole world to become a single ooze.
Graff, with the Howlers (halfling barbarians) offers an alliance with Adel.
Burble stone makes Laghakk strong (only when she’s on it).
Cold room with bowl full of ash. Vixuel (Human wizard) digs out a peal with a flask, but it drawn in by a skeleton hand.
Giant catfish moves to the surface. Howler leader is eating a night vision algae.
Estam pulls Vixuel form the ash and bones bowl.
Skeleton climbs out of the ash bowl.
Giant catfish speaks to Lagghak and Relel (the Elf Priest). Howlers are eating the catfish, but catfish dislike the mold people even more and want help forging an alliance.
Vixuel destroys the skeleton with a spell and searches for the dropped pearl on the ground. “Pearls before spine.” Discovers and iron key in the hem of banners.
Lagghak has a vision of Mugdulblub from licking the wall too much; is promised power and oneness. Finds it therapeutic after life as a Basilisk Warrior.
Estam takes dagger Witch Bolt from dead halfling; it sets her on fire; Kione (ooze cultist) douses fire and gives first aid.
From Randy. “At this table we play to ooze.”
