Message: <blockquote data-quote="el-remmen" data-source="post: 9401956" data-attributes="member: 11">We played a session of our "Primordial Evil" campaign this past Sunday.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The PCs conferred some more with the druid they visited in order to decide if they were going to the site the star supposedly fell or to go the other way around the mountain to look for the monks that should have been on their way to the druid to get the star info.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">They decided to go after the star because the Tabaxi druid PC's prophetic dream warned that various elemental cultists might be seeking it out too.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">They then went back to the village and met up with a young NPC wizard who was also waiting for those monks to bring him to the Tower of the Heavens where he was supposed to do a post-graduate internship. As the party of adventurers he'd hired dropped him here and refused to bring him further. As the PCs are planning to seek out the tower after finding the star they invited the wizard to join them - but first he extracted a promise from the party paladin to protect him. The PCs soon found out that the other party probably dropped him b/c of how annoying he is.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">They then traveled to another nearby village with a letter of introduction from one village prefect to another, in hopes of buying or borrowing some canoes to go up a partially dammed river to where the star supposedly was.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The village prefect wanted them to go investigate some missing trade caravans instead, but relented and arranged for the canoes with a promise they'd return to look into it.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The PCs traveled up river finding evidence of some kind of ecological devastation.  Lots of debris, dead rotting fish on the revealed banks of the river, and other dead or dying wildlife. Eventually finding the impact point of the "star" and the vast damage it caused to the mountainside and forest which tumbled down into the river valley. They also found the stripped and abandoned corpses of several members of "The Children of Yanbin," one of the evil elemental cults. "Maybe the enemy of our enemy is our friend?" they thought.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The party druid wildshaped into a rat to scope out a cave they found and spotted some derro conferring, but since she could not understand their language, she was not sure what to make of it. While locals had warned them about strange anti-social dwarves in the region who frequently warred with people of another isolated village (those who had dammed the river with their giant beaver companions) and the party paladin knew some derro worship Ogremoche (whose cult he had escaped and now he swore revenge on), the PCs still wanted to try to negotiate with them for the star.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">When they entered the caves to talk, the derro were like, "You'll make excellent slaves in helping us dig out our outpost which collapsed from the impact of the star above!" A fight ensued, which the PCs won.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Further exploration of caves found a old slave who claimed to actually be 23 years old and that the derro were extracting the lifeforce of their captives for their nefarious goals. He also explained that the derro had had their captives dig up the fallen star.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">We left the session there with the party Gloomstalker considering using disguise self to go deeper into the caves and figure out where they are keeping the star before going in as a group to free the captives and get the star. The paladin, however, is itching to just rush in and put all the derro to the sword. We play again on August 18th. </li> </ul></blockquote>
