Being good aligned means you can (forcibly) make friends with anyone, at any time!

Session Notes #35 - 9/11
Vacations and stuff interrupted our first Sept session.

Day Tracker
Start Day 224 - On the way to Isle of Madness in south Sunless Sea.
Stop Day 225 - Resting after Derro enclave fight

The Ramblings of Jobin
10x Ghawwas Div (some sleep murdered, some regular murdered, one squished) - 18k
Grootslang the redux (weakened) - 13k
Lying to a demon, and then it died - 10k
7x Derro experiments (barbarians) and 4x various savants - 40k

DM Notes
100% gold star encounter/side quest completion for the party in the Sunless Sea outside of Great Shaboath and random combats. Everyone gets 1000 achievo points.

Random fun fact: this was the first time I've played at a level where the iconic Prismatic spells are getting thrown around. Rogtar got better.

Random thoughts: Party now permanently paranoid about teleport traps. Tomoe's stealth and perception checks literally unbeatable without outlandish npc optimization/wealth. Rest of party essentially a blind marching band. D-door full attack bombs continue to be effective. Party now brainwashing insane derro to do their bidding and considered unreliable by illithid allies. Godwin's Law looms.

Gathering Allies and Storms

Session Notes #34 - 8/28
Chris (Cowl) got lost in the IRL woods camping and was out for this session. Late postings for the last few weeks because lazy. Roundup in the 9/18 post.

Day Tracker
Start Day 224 - post BG shopping/rezzing
Stop Day 224 - post Blades of Light meeting

The Ramblings of Jobin
Drider Abomination (Queen Clicks) and 3x Leng Spiders - 27.5k
Blightrat Warren - 25k
Saving Jelenneth (finally) - 15k
DM Notes
Wrapping up Sunless Sea sidequests and loose ends. Some discussion about the various NPC's sworn to the party's cause. They decide to just leave them in the "horse zone" - that ambiguous area where stuff no one cares to worry about goes until needed. Sorry Jelenneth and Geronmen, maybe next adventure someone will care about you.

Amusingly, Jobin demanded the party investigate the glint of gold leading to the blightrat den, resulting in an incredibly difficult to cure pair of diseases infesting the party. Except Jobin, who is immune.
