Session One Hundred and Ninety-Eight (Graveyard of Empires Summary)

SESSION 198 – April 11, 2018

The party managed to finally leave Feldmark and reach the open water with course to Lonely Isle.

During the trip we all trained using the automaton plans and devil fish bilogy notes to gain advantages in fighting them. Rallion scanned Lonely Isle, Midmark, and Xen Khel for signs of activity. Clean up from the use of the weapon in Midmark, dwarven guards keeping watch over the entrance to the depths of Xen Khel, and swarms of infected at the docks.

We encountered an odd area of clear sky and differently colored water in the midst of the storm. Nash swam to is and saw swirling water funneling fish into the depths. Kauri sent the mini-ship to investigate also, and we did not discern the source or cause of this phenomenon.

A similar effect was encountered by the Starchy Boyz between Midmark and the island with Grell’s pirates.

The next day we encountered a pirate ship crewed by half-orcs from the same fleets as Nash and “Darla”. All ships of the fleets were to head home. Nash and “Darla” were cautioned to not take too long or risk missing out on land. We advised them to avoid Curabell as there were hordes of infected. We also explained to be careful when disposing of the infected to prevent it spreading.

Nash spoke once more with the virtual goddess, Lysander, and learned that Xeno Tel is tracking us. We decided to put out most powerful ancient dwarven artifacts in a chest to prevent being tracked. To further hide, we tacked a silver circlet to one of the masts and designated it a shrine so the sailors wouldn’t touch it.

Xeno Tel plans to shoot down the ship. Lysander says that she and the others can give us a chance by distracting Xeno Tel long enough for us to get in the air.

The plan is to board the sub and find the tunnel under the island, while the Bronze Wizard draws the infected to the far side of the island. We hope to find the ship and get into the air with enough time to beat Xeno Tel and prevent the armada from arriving and destroying those who live here.
