Session 4

Another day in the city of Jzadirune. The party has cleared well over half the city. This session they faced creatures they had never seen before. First a pile of rags covered Teela and only abandoned her as her life force was depleted. But she was not lost the cleric, Zylasria, stepped in to make sure Teela did live after all. The creature tried to slam into Zylasria but with Leander and Jarzen already engaging it it was unsuccessful and did not live much longer. A Skulk who was being controlled by rags also attacked the party but it was quickly disposed of.

The elves, Teela and Saelis, found many secret doors and rooms that had not seen a visitor since the Gnomes abandoned the city 75 years ago. Classrooms, workshops, living quarters, even a nursery.

A creature with long tentacles attacked the party in a large room. It made Verrad stand still for the whole fight and at first seemed like the creature could be more then the party could handle. But then Leander cut off one of its tentacles and after that it had trouble making contact. Coincidence perhaps, but the party again was victorious.

The party even fought a machine that did damage when it cried out a strange sonic scream – just before Leander put it to rest.

After a warning from an illusion of a gnome…

"I am Emirystul, Librarian of Jzadirune. The scrolls you seek have been destroyed to keep you and others from fading into nothingness. The curse of the Vanishing began here, in these mystic halls, and here it will remain. Be carefull what you find, and mind whatever magic was wrought here."

The party would make sure they learned more about the “Vanishing”. Bluecrater Academy helped reveal the truth behind the superstition of “The Vanishing”. Members of the party will think twice before the use any magic item they find in Jzadirune. But they also know now that the curse can be removed from items and people. But the cure is not cheap.

Much of the eastern half of Jzadirune still needs to be investigated before the party returns to the elevator room and descends deeper with hopes of finding the children, and Starbrow of course.
