====== Session 29: Little Enemy ====== === ??? High Summer, 498 CE === * The party, having just lost their memories again, talked with Remy and Seigagar. * Remy has apparently been keeping busy by [[https://data.whicdn.com/images/331014619/original.gif|learning to dance]]. * Revana decided to keep track of time by growing plants in Old Dwarfheim. * [[wiki:npcs:uun|Uun]] popped out of Sang. * He asked what was happening, complaining that his memory was being destroyed and he didn't like it. * He told the party, after some discussion, that it appeared as though [[wiki:npcs:burden|Burden]] was using the people of Dwarfheim to steal the party's memories. * He told them that to stop their memories from being taken every day, they would need to help the dwarves. * Apparently, Burden was using the excess energy from the dwarves that were not working to create the work fog. * Uun theorized that he was doing this specifically to target the party for some reason. * Everyone decided that they should check out the Lower Ring to see what is causing the Mithril shortage, and to check out whatever was in the Warehouse. * RED SHIFT - The party headed down to the Lower Ring. * They started by traveling to the Mithril Mines. * They met Svart, a dwarf with glasses, directing people to different tunnels. * Svart told them that the entirity of the Western Tunnels had to be barricaded due to kobold raids. * The party offered to help, and Svart directed them to the barricade. * As they ventured deeper into the caves, they noticed several petrified dwarf and kobold statues. * They heard the rumbling of kobolds and a basilisk. * Revana prepared a tidal wave, and managed to knock all the kobolds back, and free the basilisk from its bondage. * Next, the party went to the Wearhouse. * They met a courier there named Hrist. * They asked to see the aetherite storage, but she told them they they would need permission to see it. * They told her that they had permission from the Forgemaster, Grim, to inspect the aetherite. * She gave them the go-ahead to enter, and directed them to a service elevator in the back of the warehouse. * As the party descended down, suddenly they lost their memories and regained conciousness in Old Dwarfheim again. * The party returned to Remy and Seigagar, and caught up on what had happened. * According to Ekhart's journal, the last thing he wrote was that they went down the elevator. * Revana noticed that the plant's she grew to try and keep track of the passage of time all wilted and died. * This time, the party decided to wait in Old Dwarfheim until Green Shift before entering. * RED SHIFT - The party waited in Old Dwarfheim. * GREEN SHIFT - The party headed down to the Lower Ring. * Revana went back to the mines, and helped clear out the kobolds again. * Afterwards, the party went to the Office of the Foreperson, to talk to Seigagar's daughter. * After waiting in line for a while, they decided they did not want to talk to her, fearing that she would know they had stolen/illegal shift crystals. * The party then made a plan to head to different spots in Dwarfheim during blue shift. * They went to the bar, the Lonely Wanderer, to kill some time before blue shift started. * There, they first met the bartender Brand. * The bartender referenced the monks of Cel'Edor and the elves of the Loridael, but had never heard of the country of Voltana or the Naverian Empire. * The party also met Halldor, a courier, who appeared to be sulking in the corner of the bar. * Halldor mentioned that something strange was going on in the warehouse, and that the aetherite was going missing. * The party confided in him that they thought something weird was going on as well, and they all became friends. * Halldor offered to take Sanglant to the Warehouse to show him the aetherite storage. * Revana and Ekhart decided to leave for a different ring while Sang went to the storage. * As Sang and Halldor went down the elevator, suddenly everyone lost their memories and regained conciousness in Old Dwarfheim again. * In Ekhart's diary, he wrote to himself "nice try, little enemy" ---- [[:recap| Back]]
