Un-rusted, but old, worn steel and a generally Brutalist aesthetic

Captives

Skorr
Mohawk guy, guard

Borgdir
worker dude

The "conversation"

separately in Undercommon (with Z) and Dwarvish with D
while P attempts to perform interpretive dance and cleans up the slaughter

MapQuest

Z asks for a map from Borgdir
Skorr says "you better not"
A warning dagger thrown at Skorr by Z
Need paper, P isn't keen on ripping a page from his friendship book so Z rips a page out of the The Mortal Immortal (Book) for the map
wha?!
blinding light, crazy magic shit happens and then the page that was removed is bone white and blank.

draws a map of the level we are on... in his own blood
we ask for the next level down, dude says he's out of blood. We look around the place at all the bodies and... well... he finishes it using his cousin's blood

Making an Army
not slag zombies

steel wings steel hearts
don't bleed, don't feel

Short Rest and Close the Valves

Mage Hand and Rope (both D and P) = 6 + Z and Borgdir
P casts invisibility (1 hour)

We Go Down

P, followed by Z, followed by D

we reach the bottom, no doors

P nat 20s a perception check

finds a button that opens it
we go down the stairs

reach the end, we hear a liveliness

we are stealthy! 2x Dirty 20s and a 19
...Stealth and dex mission! Deuce will surely thrive!

At The Bottom

1. store rooms, less people but longer - door right
2. B-line to cup - straight ahead, more likely to encounter - ahead
3. Common areas (sleep and eat) -

we go directly!

Z wraps her bra around the bell
P checks the front door and

D fails stealth
but passes acrobatics to get out of the way
P releases a rat to draw attention

we scoot past
they see the bra on the bell

we stealth again

Central Hall

hug the walls, towards the double doors

a guard standing ~3ft in front of the door

P opens the facing door
sees a bunch of duergar doing creepy stuff
hooded dudes messing with magic tablets
"who opened the door???!!"

P does the rat bit again, it works
guard gets yelled at and called away from his post to lock their door.

guard goes to lock that door and we sneak in to the right

Circular Room

Left or Right, Right
1/4 way around... we find an opening
short corridor to round room
pedestal with the crystal chalice

Steel Angel

Sean described the fuck out of this nasty fuck

Chalice of Life and Death

we have a plan. a stupid plan

Z steps into the room from behind
is it blood?
it's like blood
Z grabs it and fey steps

• Chalice of Life and Death #WSS/To/Zelda

Escape! but no spill, okay?

immediately after the chalice is grabbed, giant steel doors fall and seal the room with the steel angel in it. He's pissed.

normal, dc13
rush, dc16

blood manipulation, reduce dc by some (arcana roll to find out how much)

guard opens other door
we book it
Z passes her check

alarm bells and voice: warning!, intruder!

D gets bumped and falls and a dude checks out for him... but can't find him (BARELY!)

we pass parts and pieces of this army. and the tablets... life source?

6 D guards
P does his "my invisibility wore off!" bit
