Abomination Vaults Diary
In Abadius 4721AR, Wrin summoned a group of her friends and acquaintances to Otari. She tasked the adventurers with investigating The Gauntlight and the ominous lights that had recently appeared there.
Session 1 - 19/07/2022
In the Rowdy Rockfish, ironically the quietest tavern in town, six adventurers gathered - Ashe, Kargyn, Mor, Rortimus Watherswitch II, Thtaal, and Alenthar. Wrin met them there, and explained that she was keen to get them on their way as the Gauntlight had started showing light associated with a dark prophecy. She guided the party out of town, and left Ashe to guide the rest along the well-beaten track The Gauntlight.
At the eerie lighthouse, Mor and Ashe checked the perimiter before entering, at which point the party was set upon by mischievous Mitflits, who thought they had tricked the adventurers into believing they were good-natured fae. Three of the mitflits were slain, though Alenthar chose to take the final one prisoner and interrogate it. Mor was insistent that the captured Mitflit should suffer no more harm, and Alenthar reassured her in that he was only looking for information. Whilst Kargyn celebrated defending the honour of Rort's mother, who the Mitflits had insulted, Mor woke the fae with a gentle flick.
After some threatening in undercommon, Kargyn coerced the mitflit to give them information on The Gauntlight. They divulged the presence of "Boss Skrong" who was in the main building. They also mentioned some sort of creature in the swamp which Thtaal had deduced the presence of earlier, and warned the party that the drawbridge from the outhouse to the main area was very weak. The mitflit mentioned that there were other, worse things that they didn't know about, and agreed to stay out of the party's way. They moved on across the drawbridge, leaving the Mitflit tied up but alive.
On the drawbridge, Ashe made a dangerous misstep, and ended up badly damaging the bridge, which was only made worse when they attempted to fix it. They nearly destroyed the drawbridge, and attracted the attention of a frog creature from the swamp, which attacked the party. Mor lept into the swamp and dismembered the frog creature. Thtaal had her Eidolon carry her across and Kargyn balanced across the remains of the drawbridge, whilst Ashe and Mor helped the others up. Safely across to the other side, they made their way to the main building, only to hear unsettling Fae laughter coming from somewhere further inside.
