New Campaign, who dis? - June 4, 2021

- Raiàn is followed to Mistverge by a mechanical being with large, noticeable weapons and no clothing
RET-CON - He walked along the bottom of the river to follow her and then walked out of the river past the city walls when she went into Mistverge and found her somehow. He may become Mistverge urban legend someday.

- It is mid-afternoon at Callie Curlywit's and Theophania and Osiris have come for tea 
- There's a parlor (sitting room /lounge) there's a couple of human reading some kind of pamphlet and large, blue-ish / purple dragon-looking creature sitting there
- T walks right up to R and starts asking every question that pops into her head, which is all of them
- Raiàn came UNDER the mountains through some tunnels they found until they came to the river
- Magnus Severon (Callie's longest-term boarder who is a wizard) comes in (he's tall and thin) and Theophania's got a question for him about a locking spell she's trying to invent
- A man made of metal shows up in the doorway
- Osiris approaches the metal man and asks what they can help him with
- Callie exclaims "Paladine protect us!"
- He asks to talk to Raiàn. He says he woke up because of her footsteps.
- Raiàn is very confused because she doesn't remember him at all.
- He's having trouble remembering much of anything so he just followed Raiàn for weeks.
- Theophania calls for Magnus who might know things.
- Magnus does not know things.
- Theophania believes he's a people because he thinks he wants to be a people
- They are still talking about whether or not this unnamed thing is a people or not when there is a scream in the street
- They all flood out of the boarding house and see what looks like a large blob of black-ish mucus enveloping a person
- Theophania starts running towards the person and Lyrielle blows right past her.

BLOB BATTLE
- Lyrielle (who hasn't spoken or introduced herself yet) runs out and punches the blob
- Raiàn pops out of Callie's door and immediately shoots it with three Magic Missiles
- The BLOB attacks Lyrielle but misses then it misses again then hits her for 3 bludgeoning dmg and 4 acid damage
- Theophania runs towards Lyrielle and then shots the BLOB with her repeating crossbow for 8 piercing dmg
- The Metal Man Dashes up to the BLOB
- Osiris moves where she can see around MM and casts Guiding Bolt on the BLOB
- The BLOB attacks Lyrielle again for 2 bludgeoning dmg and 7 acid damage, and Lyrielle drops unconscious

- L is not doing great.
- R shots the BLOB with Ray of Sickness for poison dmg
- The BLOB attacks MM for 5 bludgeoning and 10 acid dmg and then misses 
- T moves up to L and casts Cure Wounds on her for 8 HP. Theophania thinks this is like an ooze or a gelatinous cube, but this one is lumpier and smells like sewer
- MM plunges an arm into the BLOB to try to grab the halfling and grabs something, but he just has a leg. Just a leg. His eyes turn red (RAGE)
- Osiris Channels the Divine and gives temporary HP to everyone
- The BLOB misses the prone Lyrielle

- Lyrielle stands up moves to flank with MM and smacks it with her staff for 9 bludgeoning dmg and then she Disengages and moves back 20'
- Raiàn casts Firebolt on it, but the fire dmg kind of fizzles
- The BLOB attacks MM and misses
- Theophania shoots the BLOB with her crossbow for 109 piercing dmg
- MM misses with his greatsword
- Osiris casts Guiding Bolt on the BLOB for 15 radiant dmg then darts back behind a bush
- The BLOB misses MM

- Lyrielle darts in again and smacks it for 7 bludgeoning dmg and then she Disengages again and back flips away
- Raiàn casts Chromatic Orb on the BLOB for 8 cold damage freezing the thing solid and then it crumbles into a bunch of pieces

- Osiris gathers up the remains of the halfling and takes them to the temple and Lyrielle follows
- Theophania starts poking the shards of the BLOB
- Two town guards finally show up and T gives a brief summary of what happens then her legs turn to jelly and she sort of collapses where she's standing
- Callie takes her inside and MM and Raiàn follow to get more tea
- MM picks the name Rusty since his protocols need to be updated also he's a reddish-colored metal.

Meanwhile on the walk to the Temple
- Lyrielle introduces herself to Osiris
- Osiris asks her if she's a monk of Mishakal, but she's more a devotee of Branchala
- They get to the temple and Osiris takes the body to the death rites area and Birel gives her a look
- Lyrielle get directions to the library
- She asks the librarian if they know anything about blobs or oozes or slimes
- The librarian doesn't know anything, so she goes into another part of the temple to ask around 
- Osiris goes to the library to ask about men made of metal, but the librarian has never heard of anything like that either
- Osiris then heads back to Callie's to check on Theophania

- 180 XP each for 480 XP total ea.

I don't think I'm a teakettle - June 11, 2021

- A few mornings after the blob attack, Osiris is attending to her normal duties in the temple and another acolyte, Jacoby, and asks about the person who had been eaten by the slime thing and asked if she had heard about the other ones. - The other slime mold came from the docks - Osiris finishes her duties for the morning, then she examines the body (a burly dockworker, Joey) of the second slime attack, and sees that he's been partially dissolved and anything that was metal has dissolved.  - The she goes to the boarding house to find Lyrielle, who she invites with her to go to the docks to check it out - When they get to the docks, there are a bunch of people unloading a boat and there is a lot of activity - They approach the guy yelling orders at everyone and ask about the attack - A couple of the guys came out of the Crusty Barnacle and saw Joey laying in a ditch with a slimy thing on top of him - Roy is one of the ones who found him - He says he saw Joey laying in the ditch wit

Too Much Backstory

“There were once a people who called themselves the Dwarvenkind. They were not a tall folk, though they were stout and strong and hardy. Known far and wide for their metal craft and stone lore, they came down from high in the mountains to trade unbreakable weapons and delicately carved stone animals. But though they came down from high in the mountains, that is not where they made their homes. No! They lived beneath the mountain. It was only an outpost high and away on a steep cliff to guard an entry point and an airshaft leading to their tunnels.” Mr. Agosto paused to sip his tea. The small girl child seated on the rug before his rocking chair stared up at him with wide, brown eyes and lips parted in anticipation.   “Such tunnels! Made from stone cut so precisely even you could not fit your tiniest finger into a gap between them. The arched ceilings bore beams of dark, porous stone cultivated with a glowing moss to give the only light needed by the sensitive eyes of the Dwarves. T

Family Ties - Another Back Story - This time for a halfling artificer (alchemist)

Great-aunt Thessalie taught me a lot. Like so much, you have no idea. She said she saw a spark in me, and that's why she asked the Temple to hire me to be her "companion" when she got too old to run the hospital wing anymore. Let me tell you, just because she started having trouble walking quickly and her hands didn't have the grip to use a mortar and pestle anymore didn't mean there was anything wrong with her mind. The magic of Mishakal was too strong in her for her mind to ever get weak. At least, that's what I think. Before I ever came to run her errands and help her get dressed and be her hands, she'd already had Adventures and been a diplomat and a trader and an advisor and healer to the King of Rhoanor and ran the entire hospital wing of the largest Temple to Mishakal in all the human lands. She told the best stories. She told me that she saved my grandfather Eldon, her older brother, from the possession (she never would say exactly from what) and d
