Session 29: Little Enemy

The party, having just lost their memories again, talked with Remy and Seigagar.
- Remy has apparently been keeping busy by learning to dance.
- Revana decided to keep track of time by growing plants in Old Dwarfheim.
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 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.
