Candidate Highlights (auto-extracted)

  • SPEAKER_05: You can buy a high holy symbol at the temple of Demma at list price.
  • SPEAKER_05: only magical item you found for sale if you’re just looking for high quality items on the smith where you were practicing identifying arms and armor over the week does have a few fine pieces of arms and armor for sale you didn’t see any wizard robes there though they seem to only do metal if you haven’t seen a good source of wizard robes there might be a tailor or something but you haven’t spotted them
  • SPEAKER_03: I think I may come back after we sort our loot from this week and try to put in a special order, but for today I think that answers my questions.
  • SPEAKER_05: Last time you decided to go up to Ardenville, you left right at dawn, and you got there a little afternoon, and it was a little bit of a time crunch to get back before too much dark.
  • SPEAKER_05: If you decide you want to go somewhere and rest, you could rest in there or you can just keep walking.
  • SPEAKER_05: In the top left of Foundry, there’s a bunch of icons like token controls, measurement controls, tile controls, et cetera.
  • SPEAKER_05: So anyway, if I ping this tower over here, this is the tower where you found the spiders.
  • SPEAKER_05: Do you guys have a plan on where to go?
  • SPEAKER_05: They don’t have a plan on where they want to go.
  • SPEAKER_05: There was then, as you went up the road, you found a giant oak tree flanked by a couple of maple trees.
  • SPEAKER_05: You flew up onto the roof and inside that you found some corpses on the roof.
  • SPEAKER_05: And then finally, further north, you saw the Great Pyramid of Thoth.
  • SPEAKER_05: And then the last thing I should remind you guys of was there was this weird well that you spotted kind of to the east of the pyramid that was like full of reflective mirrors and when someone dropped a continual light stone down there it was just kind of like it was blinding and bright but it’s like a very deep well full of mirrors so that was the other interesting thing you found so you have kind of three interesting things you have found in addition to the whole ruins everything else you haven’t found so you have a lot of options
  • SPEAKER_05: So you decide to check out this building.
  • SPEAKER_05: if you want to actually search the ruins here i will let you search these ruins yeah well we’re here yeah let’s might as well okay so you want to spend an hour like digging around in this particular ruin to see if you find anything sure why not okay so you just decide to let’s spend an hour and see if we find anything interesting
  • SPEAKER_05: So you decide to give it a good whack with your spear and it’s like fine quality too, right?
  • SPEAKER_00: No, I’m talking about the loot.
  • SPEAKER_03: but the lizard went back to its hole, where I think the loot is.
  • SPEAKER_05: And after a few minutes of that, you haven’t found anything in this tower to the east.
  • SPEAKER_05: You continue north into this old forum and you see this big, foreboding square tower to the right where some of you levitated up to the front and looted some bodies of some armor and scrolls and things.

Reliable Facts (reviewed)

  • In pre-delve planning at Gosterwick, the party discussed local shopping/services, including holy symbols at the temple of Demma, high-quality metal gear from local smiths, and difficulty sourcing wizard robes.
  • The group deliberately departed earlier than prior runs to maximize daylight in the ruins.
  • At the Dam (Arden Vul), the party forced a locked door, found two wheels inside, and concluded one wheel controls water flow through the dam.
  • A huge flying reptile with a barbed tail approached near the dam/waterfall area, dropped waste near the party, and then withdrew toward the southwest ruins.
  • The party entered the pyramid complex, encountered halfling toll collectors led by Roskelly Winterleaf, and paid for passage rather than fighting.
