📍 Where we went:

• Continued through the underground prison complex from the dining hall into the armory.
• Exited the prison cave system via a bridge, passing an abandoned house to the left of the exit.
• Returned to Dawnport to report the threat.

👥 Who we met:

• Bonk, Izaya, Eden, Jerrod, and Marx (fellow adventurers from the previous session).
• Aldren Pike (previously rescued, provided intelligence on the Keeper).
• Dobot (Dorn's steel defender) and Dump Ling/Dumpling (Dorn's homunculus servant).
• Lizardfolk guards, sentient animated armors, and multiple wraiths.
• The Keeper: A large undead monster with a bell on its head, capable of hexing and incapacitating targets.

⚔️ What happened:

The party advanced from the toilet area, peeking into the dining hall and spotting the armory opposite it. Dorn heard knocking from within the armory and, through his telepathic bond with his homunculus Dumpling, identified it as Dobot, his steel defender. The group rushed in, with Marx and Izaya focusing on a locked box while Dorn killed a lizardfolk guard with a makeshift spear. Two sentient animated armors activated as alarms, triggering a fight; Marx successfully opened the box, allowing Dobot to toss Dorn his musket and return Bonk's weapon.

As the party moved toward the exit, they were pursued by numerous wraiths and lizardfolk. Eden exited first and was hexed by the Keeper, a massive undead with a bell on its head, who then incapacitated him. Dobot deflected the Keeper's attack, and Dorn ordered Dumpling to assist, but both constructs were destroyed in a single swing. Dorn, Dew (his water elemental), and the remaining adventurers escaped, while Eden narrowly evaded undead blocking his path with an acrobatic backflip. Izaya, still inside, stealthily retrieved a book before fleeing the facility.

The group regrouped outside the cave, crossed a bridge with an abandoned house to the left, and made their way back to Dawnport. Dorn plans to file a formal report warning of the looming danger posed by the Keeper and the prison's forces.

What actually happened?

Where did you go?

Party members consists of:

• Eden
• Bonk
• Izaya
• Marx
• Jerrod
• Dorn

They were all individually knocked unconscious and captured near the Ashen Fortress and were kept captive somewhere in an underground base/camp filled with Undeads and Lizardfolks. They all woke up within their individual cells, stripped of their equipments and armors.

Who did you meet?

• Aldren Pike, a fellow prisoner who have been captured way before any of the party members.
• Lots of Undeads and Lizardfolks, keeping the base of operation running.

What actually happened?

• They continue with the plan of retrieving their gears and equipment in the armory, by stealthily clearing the path and killing the guards that is on watch, without setting the alarm off.
• They found and ambushed the guards that are guarding the armory. But they were counter-suprised by the living animated armor that are guarding the area.
• After figuring out that they could not kill those animated armors, they had to adapt and just retrieve the gears and equipment, and book for the exit.
• After an intense combat againts the animated armor, and the Undeads, while simultanously trying to unlock their exit, everyone (except Izaya) finally managed to get out of the base.
• Izaya decided to go for a recon mission by himself, trying to get information about the place, and the people who's running it. He also tried to find Loseff, an adventurer that he had worked with before.
• Unfortunately, he could not find Loseff, and there was unexplored section of the base, that seemed highly guarded that he dares not infiltrate. He made the decision to join the rest of the party and finally escape the place.
