Upon being sighted, he turns to leave but instead seems to be encouraging the party to follow them. The party approached the man and learn that he was an associated of [[Rhytsar Kharn|Rhytsar's]] brother. He pass on the message that his brother needed his help. He was in over his head and wanted to find a way to secure his safety. As such he offered the party the Blue Dragon Mask if the party could come to him in Xonthal's Tower. The party agreed. The set of back to the Waterdeep Council chambers and acquired the services of a teleporter. From there they arrived with a splash in a lake surrounding the town next to Xonthal's Tower. The party spent the night in town learning that Xonthal's Tower was not a place to go. The town had witnessed many people attempting to enter the tower but no one ever returned. 100+ years ago Xonthal's had asked his assistant to leave and built a magical hedge maze around the tower so that no one could bother him. The townsfolk were convinced there was still someone living in the tower to this day and believe that Xonthal's is now a Lich living safely behind the walls practicing dark magic. The next day the party headed off to tackle the hedge maze. They entered the maze and found themselves at an area with 8 entrances and a sundial. The party had come in from the northern entrance but quickly found themselves disoriented. When they had entered, Xonthal's Tower was in front of them. Now it was in the direction from which they had just come. This caused much confusion. ![[2023-12-17-20231217212601632.webp]] Also of interest was the sundial pointed to the north, and yet the shadows of the party landed correctly in the opposite direction. The sun dial was not displaying the shadow of the sun! Figuring the party should head towards Xonthal's Tower they headed north in the direction of the sun dial shadow. They marked the ground before they left. From here the party entered a large square with a dark pool in middle. Above the middle of the pool hovered a garnet gemstone. The party approached the pool only to be met with a dark snapping claw launching out at them. The party were attacked by 4 [[chuul|Chuuls]]. The important thing to know here is that [[Rhytsar Kharn|Rhytsar]] was successfully hit, took damage and was paralysed! So was [[Ariah Eran|Ariah]]! ![[2023-12-17-20231217213609008.webp]] The party responded aggressively with black tentacles of math harming doom. The Chuuls were largely stuck in a sticky black mess. Then [[Khass]] pulled some stupid d4 math rock out of his package of cleric bullshit which basically means the Chuuls missed every single attack from that point on. ![[2023-12-17-20231217213807256.webp|250]] The party killed the Chuuls and then searched the pool and found a ridiculous amount of magic items. > [!tip]+ Treasure > six [potions of healing](app://obsidian.md/2-Mechanics/CLI/items/potion-of-healing.md), one [potion of growth](app://obsidian.md/2-Mechanics/CLI/items/potion-of-growth.md), one [potion of fire breath](app://obsidian.md/2-Mechanics/CLI/items/potion-of-fire-breath.md), a [wand of fear](app://obsidian.md/2-Mechanics/CLI/items/wand-of-fear.md), three +1 daggers, a [driftglobe](app://obsidian.md/2-Mechanics/CLI/items/driftglobe.md), and an [elemental gem (clear sapphire/air elemental)](app://obsidian.md/2-Mechanics/CLI/items/elemental-gem-blue-sapphire.md). They grabbed the floating gem and left the area finally coming out at. ![[2023-12-17-20231217212601632.webp]] This felt like the same area except the mark they made on the ground was missing. Also this time the sun-dial was pointing north and east! Two shadows! The party figured they should just follow the latest shadow and headed east. ![[2023-12-17-20231217214121150.webp]] By this time [[Rhytsar Kharn|Rhytsar]] was quaking in his boots. He no longer felt invincible and had convinced the rest of the party that they were all too weak to take on a real fight. So when they came across some lovely beautiful smelling flowers with long tentacles and ability to speak to them telepathically... they decided to take the safe approach and just start a fire to burn them all down and stay at ranged distance for the entire period of the fight. ![[2023-12-17-20231217214402652.webp|300]] Everytime the flowers died, they dropped a shiny pearl. The players proceeded to kill all of the poor precious flowers and greedily took all the pearls. They left the area returning to a very familiar location. ![[2023-12-17-20231217212601632.webp]] They entered through the South West. #### End Session | Column Name | Column Name 2 | Column 3 | | ---- | ---- | ---- | | Value 2 | Value 3 | Valu 6 | | Vaalue 4 | | |
