The Wandering Isles - Session 27

In this week’s thrilling session, the group ventured deeper into the mysterious tunnels, filled with haunting echoes of past violence and hidden secrets. Their exploration began with Albi, Amaedrianna’s keen-eyed white crow, scoping out the labyrinth-like pathways where ash-covered bodies marked one path, and silence held sway on the other.

Slate and Dash worked to pry open passages, leading the team to a curious cave bathed in an unexplained glow. Testing its boundaries, they uncovered a hidden, sigil-guarded exit, adding to the mysteries that seemed to bind the tunnels. But their investigations grew darker as they stumbled upon charred remains and dismembered limbs embedded in the walls—a chilling testament to an unknown force.

Navigating through these grim scenes, they found a pool with a thin mist hovering above. While Eos resisted the urge to wade into the enigmatic water, Amaedrianna and Dash discovered human-made carvings and signs of an ancient presence. The calm quickly shattered when a glimmer in the depths hinted at something far more dangerous—a massive creature awakening from slumber, turning the water black with its movement. The party’s escape was fast-paced and tense, each heartbeat racing as they narrowly avoided its reach.

Safely away, Eos cleansed herself using a special stone that released soapy magic, providing a brief moment of relief. Resting deeper in the tunnels, a final unsettling discovery awaited: a body with a large scorched handprint across its torso, hinting at even greater perils to come.

The session concluded on a note heavy with foreboding, leaving the party—and listeners—on edge for what challenges may arise next.
