====== Session 25: Tol'Enay ======

=== Evening, 12th High Summer, 498 CE ===

  * The party arrives at the foot of the mountain with the Al Un Redan, the Ten Thousand Steps, that lead to [[wiki:places:tol_ga_a|Tol'Ga'a]], the Temple of the Open Palm.
  * After two hours of climbing the steps, the party finally arrives in Tol'Ga'a.
  * Sanglant and Remy head to the temple, so Remy can offer the lily to the blue pond of Tol'Ga'a.
    * At the blue pond, Sanglant meets a monk named [[wiki:npcs:mo|Mo]].
    * Mo tells him that he is the first monk from Tol'Enay that has made the journey during the Easterly Winds.
    * This troubles Sanglant, as this is one of the ceremonies that the monks of Tol'Enay enjoy greatly.
    * Mo also tells him that a few weeks ago, there was an earth quake, and then after that a mysterious traveler had been seen visited some of the southern temples.
  * The party suss out that the earthquake lines up with when the Void was created by [[wiki:npcs:redrose|Father Redrose]], and the Traveler roughly lines up with when [[wiki:npcs:cidmuir_mayze|Cidmuir]] arrived in Cel'Edor.
  * Revana goes into a field to attempt to speak with the trees and plants there.
    * She does this, and begins communicating the plants around her.
    * The plants tell her that she was the first elf to talk to them in many years, and that elves used to do this often.
    * Revana asked about Terra, and they told her that the world is different now that everything is so far apart.
    * They tell her that the earthquake was from south.
    * After they finish talking, Rev notices a blade of grass dance around her, until eventually resting on the palm of her hand.
  * Ekhart does another quick scan of [[items:twinned_book|his book]], until eventually finds that there is a small scuffed mark he didn't notice before.
    * He recognizes it at the alchemical symbol for alcohol.
    * Not sure what it means, so retraces it over with his pen.
  * The party discusses what they've learned, and wonders if the mysterious traveler Mo mentioned was Cidmuir, and whether the earthquake originated from [[wiki:places:dwarfheim|Dwarfheim]].
  * The party gets a room at an inn named the Dry & Shapeless Ram.

=== Morning, 13th High Summer, 498 CE ===

  * In the morning, the party leaves Tol'Ga'a, heading south.

=== Evening, 13th High Summer, 498 CE ===

  * Eventually, the party arrives in [[wiki:places:tol_enay|Tol'Enay]], the Temple of the Drunken Master.
  * While they are far away, Sang notices that the smoke stacks of the temple are not emitting any smoke.
    * He knows that this means that the brewery isn't running, which is very strange.
  * Ekhart uses his magic to project his mind in the temple, and he sees several monks dressed in the colours of the monks of [[wiki:places:tol_delaar|Tol'Delaar]].
  * As the party gets closer, they confirm that they don't see any Tol'Enay monks and the monks of Tol'Delaar appear to be patrolling the streets.
  * The party sneaks into a resisdent's house that Sang is familiar with, a potter named [[wiki:npcs:conny|Conny]].
    * Conny confirms that they have been in lockdown for a few days, since the monks of Tol'Delaar invaded Tol'Enay.
    * She says she remembers a human man that looked like Cid joining the temple before the monks arrived, and the Traveler the monks were with didn't match his description.
    * Conny also mentioned that Cid was with Laef when she arrived, but Laef left a few days later, traveling south.
  * Revana uses her magic to scry on Cid, seeing where he is.
    * She finds that Cid is meditating in a wooden room with [[wiki:npcs:langston|Langston]].
  * The party then plans to break into the temple, and potentially extract Cidmuir (and Langston too!)
  * Under cover of dark, the party travels to the temple.
    * Revana casts Pass Without Trace, and the party successfully sneaks behind it.
    * They use the[[items:ruby_rose|Ruby Rose]] to locate Cidmuir's exact location.
    * Revana shapeshifts into a bird, and flys around the tower to identify the guards and their schedules.
    * Sang eventually runs up the side of the tower to the 7th floor, as Ekhart takes himself and Remy via a Dimension Door, and Revana lands on the window.
  * The party enters the hallway undetected, and eventually they reach Cid and Langston.
  * Cid is delighted that his brother has arrived to save him.
