Way of the Dragon Charm 6 charges. Expend 1 charge. Difficult Terrain is regular until a long rest. Or next time you are paralyzed/restrained the condition is removed. 1 charge per long rest.I had a weak group of four. Thrash Path of the Beast Kobold Barbarian with Sun Blade. Zon Voidcraft Artificer Astral Elf 14. Plebius Downing Human Bard 14. Road Flare Dwarf Light Cleric 14.First Speaker Sholeh asked the group to check out the kingdom of Jingling. Rumors of a possible insurrection is being to start. The White Jade Emperor for a human Um dwarf (Looks human in the picture) has lived a really long time. Almost as if he is an elf. Check out to see if he not a lich. Your contact is Grant Secretary Wei an archmage.Taking the crystal ship to Youngling burns two days. Arriving at the city of empire called “The City of the Empire”, they are force to wait in the barbarian line of new arrivals. Finally, around noon a minor bureaucrat takes their name. Plebius talks nicely to the dude and gets to front of line.Grant Secretary Wei talks only to Plebius and ignores the little barbarian kobold who interrupts her. Before she will discuss the rumors of Emperor, the Emperor is proud that they accept a minor task for him. A new part of the old city which was destroyed in the Epic Earthquake of 1906, has been uncovered. Perhaps the ancient diaries of the Moon Cloud Empress will help guide the emperor. Or at the various least her hot cocoa recipe will be found. Be aware the new city has been built on the old city.Thrash, “Why? Not just move out the rubble and build on bedrock.”Wei, “Well actually the founding Empress built a castle in a swamp. It fell over so she builds another castle in the swamp.”Flare, “DM quit quoting Monty Python!”Wei, “Very well the scholar Lu Zhong Yin will be your guide. She will take to the finance office for your upfront payment. Then shopping for various archelogy expedition equipment.”The group is dumbfounded and has trouble understanding they are getting a partial payment up front. Flare find a nearby temple to setup a Word of Recall zone. And others do some minor shopping.Arriving at the underground site, Zon sends his familiar out ahead. An Altar chamber is to the north through a suck in your gut passage. And something ate it to the south. Flare, “LEROY GENKINGS!” After taking the ropers down they group checks out the altar room.The mirror of life entrapping swallows Flare but spits Lin Gong. While the scholar is translating to modern common, Flare retro actively spends 250 GP on a tuning fork attuned to the prime plane, and gets out the mirror. Lin is the current um former lover of the Moon Cloud Empress. It appears all the people in power in this kingdom have a hang up on extending their life span but not becoming a lich.Exploring in former home of Gong, they defeat some undead and find some magic loot, diaries of the Moon chick, and some potions of longevity. The scholar betrays herself when she is more interested in the potions than the diaries. An earthquake conveniently hits collapsing the entrance. A switch in the throne room leads to a secret passage but it is a trap.As the throne covers up the secret passage entrance, Secretary Wei comes on the evil hologram network and terminates them. Well. The stone golems will terminate them. As Thrash is fighting the stone golem, the rest head for the bronze doors. Flare’s cunning plan is to stone shape under the doors. He starts working his cunning. As a second stone golem activates.Plebius, “Hmm I wander what happens when I press this jewel. Cool beans. The doors open.” He steps on Flare’s head and moves into the corridor. The group follows and closes the door. The scholar switches loyalties and helps the party. The Emperor is dying of long-term longevity potion poison. Some the documents they have recovered will help Grand Secretary Wei create a new formula but they still need to find a way out.Thrash, “Found one. I think. It only guarded by a shackled Adult Gold Dragon and two mages.!” Plebius takes over and talks the mages into taking an early lunch. The dragon is hit with various healing spells, and shows the group the way out.Flare, “I could just word of recall us out. In fact, WORD OF RECALL!”The weave, “I am sorry all teleportation types are spells are not working due to author’s demand. I mean. All teleportation spells are not working at the moment. Please try again later.”Flare, “That sucks. We are sent underground. The moment we find the diaries Wei collapses the entrance. When we find a new way out, it is trapped. And escaping the trap just drops out in one of Wei’s research basements? I want out this dungeon.”DM, “The secret exit is to the east.”Escaping the research basement, a trap door leads to the Emperor’s Theatre where he is currently having a “Dinner and Movie Um Theater”. He dismisses his subjects except for his guards and listens to the group. The Emperor calls for the Grand Secretary. He offers a bonus for the group to keep their traps shut. No one is going to be punished. His subjects will gladly die for him. And barbarian lives don’t matter.As they are boarding the Crystal ship, a rain cloud turns into a white fluffy dragon shaped cloud and winks at them.End of Session 380.</blockquote>
