Waterdeep: Dungeon Heist [Campaign Session 18]

Previously on...

The party managed to trick Agorn into revealing details about his date to the play, leading them to Yellowspire, an old, yellow-bricked tower in the Castle Ward. A neighbor revealed there were repairs happening on the tower, though no one had been seen entering or exiting it...

The party entered and discovered the tower was being used a gathering place for cultists of Bane. Heading upstairs, they interrupted some form of ritual, knocked the cultists out, and found a distinctive, green stone in the pocket of the priestess.

Satisfied by this find, the party decided to leave (and Phoenix killed the unconscious cultists to ensure their silence). Heading downstairs, they encountered a wizard coming upstairs from the basement who requested for the stone. Shayen, who had the stone, walked up to him and attacked with her weapon.

Phoenix told Shayen to give the stone to him, but she did not get the chance. The wizard imprisoned her in a gemstone and proceeded to walk back down to the basement, unconcerned as the party pursued him. BOB used Scorching Ray; the wizard Counterspelled and began to turn BOB's flesh to stone.

The wizard commanded them to step aside and they did. He proceeded into a Teleportation Circle in a back room of the basement and left.

Brought to his unknown lair, Shayen would sadly not learn much as the wizard immediately addled her mind with magic, took the stone from her, and sent her back through the Teleportation Circle to the party, whereupon her form reverted to Voita's. BOB was released from his impending petrification, and the group was left to slink back home to Trollskull Manor.
