Interlude

This arc is being DMed by a different person.

Part One

The first part of this session will be the handoff to the new DM for the arc.

Part Two

The party discovered an Astral travel who was separated from his companion when he came into this realm. This traveler is looking for his companion and shortly after arriving the party hears another sound indicating the arrival of another Astral traveler off in the distance.

In the direction of the noise, the party discovers a slightly sticky town.

Part Three

The party dug deeper into the mystery of the sticky town and discovered that they are a colony of mimics being coerced by some mind flayers. The mimics allowed the party to stay in the town overnight. In the morning, the party went in the direction of a cave where the traveling companion of the Astral traveler was being held. In route to the cave, the party was attacked by strange creatures in the forest that detected their footfalls.

Part Four

The party discovered a farm for the mimic colony and a mimic that has been staked up and left to die. After saving this mimic, the party discovered the nearby cave that they were told held the Astral scientist. The cave entrance was trapped and alarmed with a contingent of guards who work for the Friends.

Part Five

Ultimately, the party fought their way deeper into the cave and found the Astral scientist and four other victims. It seems that the Friends were working with Illithid criminals to prepare people for consuming their memories as a delicacy among certain groups of Illithids.

The party took the young mimic back to the colony and helped with funeral rites for the mimics that were killed by the Illithids while the party was freeing the child and the captives. After staying overnight at the site of the mimic colony, the party went back to the road and their portable house.

Upon return, this scientist revealed that the party has an Astral ship. The ship was designed by the elves that lived in this region before the cataclysmic accident that separated this realm from the Astral sea and the rest of the realms. Criminal groups in the Illithid Empire would like to locate old technology to use as weapons of mass destruction to recreate the cataclysm to destroy the Empire.
