The Sunless Six | Adventure Log

The Heart of Destruction

2nd Day of Uktar

The Sunless Six find themselves in a large chamber after teleporting via a large crystal. Quin noticed an urn on an altar with a green mist billowing from it. As the group approach the urn, the mist begins to form into a humanoid, revealing the vampire Guilthias. With no time for talk the Sunless Six start to do battle with the vampire, only to see Guilthias once again turn into the green mist and escape under a door. The Sunless Six relentless pursue. They enter into a large chamber with a huge statue of Ashardalon, the red dragon in the center of it. The statue comes to life, and the group hack, slash and throw all sorts of magic on the dragon golem until only a pile of rubble remains.
The enter into the only other door and find themselves in a crypt. A stone coffin sits in the middle surrounded by stone pillars. Seeing green mist flowing from the seams Ash jumps onto the coffin. He feels movement from inside as the coffin is flung open with great force.
Guilthias once again rises, and the Sunless Six aggressively battle the vampire. The group seem to have defeated the vampire, as the green mist desperately tries to return to it’s coffin. Anakis pulls out her Acacia Stake, staking the vampire within his coffin. The vampire lies unconscious as the group look around the room. They notice an axe in the wall at the back of the chamber. The group take turns trying to pull the axe from the wall, as Xanath eventually dislodges the axe. Xanath then gets a vision on Dydd the Druid using the axe to carve out the heart of Ashardalon weakening the dragon before banishing the beast to hell. A hidden stone door opens revealing a room containing a large pulsing heart, Xanath begins slashing away at the heart.
The Gold Dragonborn continues to slash away, feeling life draining from himself with every swipe. Anakis moves in to heal Xanath, as he deals a final blow shattering the heart. The shatter echoes about the chamber knocking Anakis ans Xanath unconscious. Ash moves in a licks the wounds of his fallen comrades, bringing them back to consciouness. The group then looks into the coffin of Guilthias, and see nothing but ashes. The threat of the Vampire that they had brought back to Faerun is gone, hopefully for forever this time.

Enter Quin Zel

Session 2

Quin

The adventurers climb down to the entrance of the citadel, ready to begin the adventure. Ash triggers a trap door near the entrance an discovers a person, breathing at the bottom of the trap. The group retrieve the victim, and revive her.

She introduces herself as Quin Zel, a half elf adventurer. She is vague on her reasons as to why she is in the citadel. The group is put off by the half elf’s demeanor, and strange habit of talking to herself. Nevertheless the group offer Quin to join them in their pursuit through the underground citadel.

The group come upon a finely made door, adored by the engravings of a dragon on it’s surface. Xanath is immediately interested in knowing what lies behind this door, but he cannot open it. He notices a keyhole in the mouth of the rearing dragon.

They decide to explore further into the citadel, and are met by a weeping kobold named Meepo. Meepo is devastated that he lost the clan’s dragon, a small white wyrmling. He explains that the fueding goblins stole the dragon. Meepo offers to safely bring the group to his leader, Yusdrayl. In exchange, they promise to help Meepo find his dragon.

The adventurers strike a deal with the kobolds to find the dragon. In exchange, the kobolds will give the adventurers a key that will open the dragon door. Meepo will guide the adventurers into the goblin territory.

At the door of the Sunless Citadel

Session 1

Oakhurst

Two travellers, a dragonborn named Xanath, and his guide, a Drow named Grisduin have been travelling for a fortnight from Waterdeep. They were approaching the small village of Oakhurst in their quest to find the Sunless Citadel, a place rumored to have great power, but also great danger. Just one day’s travel to their destination, they met a Tiefling named Anakis by the side of the road, and decided that this would be a good place to set-up camp and rest before making the final stretch to Oakhurst. While they were setting up camp, they were interrupted by a Tabaxi named Ash, who was hunting in the nearby forest. The tabaxi decided to share camp with the trio, much to the chagrin of Anakis, who was not very welcoming to any of the new company that came upon her.

As night fell, the group was attacked, strangely, by the nearby shrubs. The group easily handled the threat, and Anakis recognized these shrubs as Twigs Blights, an abomination that she was sent here to look into.

The group traveled together into the city of Oakhurst, and met again at the local Inn, called the Ol’ Boar. After asking around town about the citadel, the group found that their interests in entering the citadel where common and decided to set out into the underdark to export the sunken Citadel.

As they approached the rift, the group found a rope tied the a pillar. The rope was newly tied and the group assumed that his must have been the entry point of a group of adventurer that recently when down into the citadel in a few weeks ago and never returned.

The group climbed down to a ledge, and were attacked by giant rats. After the group fought off the rats, they traversed a stairway that led further into the dark and found themselves at the entrance to the Sunless Citadel.
