Boss has problem with mad angel.
Rojkarn Ironhead Duergar wants us to talk to Prince Valtagar Stillshadow of Gracklstug, work w prince to get rid of corrupt angel.
Cael had vision of finding lights under Waterdeep.
Celestial mad tyrant. Or mistaken good guy? Temporary mad and/or evil?
Caels celestial guide is called Valandras. Discussion about guides and influences.
Visiting prince. Talk about the celestial mad tyrant. He wasn’t mad before. Summoned to slay a host of monsters in this play. Decapitated the summoner and declared himself lord of the deep mines.
Insight says he does not lie but seeks to benefit getting rid of him.
Tizian and Undyne secured us a guide.
Large chamber w statues, Planatar w bleeding eyes and a fiend behind him. To pillars w Mariliths in them. Planatar ask about all the wrongs we (they) have done.
Judging people. Cael accepts it. Tizian and Puddle “It’s clear”. Deayrus tries to leave but is stopped. Undyne lectures them. Sir Puddle tries to stop the nycoloth from beheading Deyarus with banishment, the spell fails. Combat ensues. Lots of judging and anti-judging takes place. Cael changes his viewpoint and berates the planatar to death by his own sword.
Healing up a bit, out the corridor, remorhaz tries to eat us. Deyarus shoots a curtain down on it and the rest knocks it out.
More discussion of internal conflict and judgement occurs.
Report back to mr. duergar.
3 more yugoloths around. Probably in the shrine. Give us a rough map of the floor. Healing up a bit, killing 2 arcanaloths in the shrine. Bypassing the last to visit the Wife, who may or may not be a dragon.
Through the door is some barracks that looks like a good place for a long rest and an invisible ultroloth that needs to die.
Dying complete. Long rest.

Visit in Cairngorm cavern before we leave the city.
The rock screams in horror.
“Something evil stirs in the Underdark. The rock itself cries in pain and horror, and a madness creeps from the blackest depths. Pay heed to the signs surrounding you. A cave with two faces. Rock devoured, and the land overgrown. The pebble believes itself flesh. The earth rejects its wards, and the tunnels shake in fury.

Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement)
Created by the stone giant librarians of Gravenhollow, this nineteen-inch-long shard of quartz grants you advantage on Intelligence (Investigation) checks while it is on your person.
The crystal has 10 charges. While holding it, you can use an action to expend some of its charges to cast one of the following spells from it: speak with animals (2 charges), speak with dead (4 charges), or speak with plants (3 charges).
When you cast a divination spell, you can use the crystal in place of one material component that would normally be consumed by the spell, at a cost of 1 charge per level of the spell. The crystal is not consumed when used in this way.
The crystal regains 1d6 + 4 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the crystal’s last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the crystal vanishes, lost forever.

Big hall with several double doors. Ambushed by Grel. And an abomination.
Statues, Waterdhavian family?
Lord Xerrion Shadowdusk
Lady Margaraste Shadowdusk
Dezmyr Zalthar

Double doors to the west. Nothics studying wall, trying to pounce us. We pounce back. Portal opening was dispelled. Far realm, madness, beholders, chaos?
Transplanar teleportation does not work here, is Forbiddance used? Lambert concludes that it might be an inspiration, but not the exact spell.
Nothics may have been normal people. We should not stay here for too long.
More Grels in the big room to the left, nothing useful to get out of them. South and west, un-finished Torm statue. Room with big tapestry and fissure in the roof. Eandryth goes up and sees a Nothic? Cael opens a portable hole and a new hulk appears, and then another aberration. Bad fight. Eandryth fetches a leather bag with some stuff and a potion of surpreme healing.
Rooms to south are kitchen and cooler.
Going across the big hall to the east. Visible willow-wisp. Statue of aboleth in end room. De-canter of Endless Water in its mouth. Eandryth talks to the wisp, Cael and Puddlejump finds two secret doors and a study with some traps.
Eandryth goes into a room with a woman. After some talk, Cael comes through a secret door on the other side. Malessaria? Related to the statues. Boss of the floor? The statue people married and went to the far realm.
Lambert sees a zombie in one of the rooms to the south and closes the doors on that.
Husband and her cousin twins are also here, intent to return to Waterdeep. The twins are twisted and changed; she asks us to kill them. The plan to go back to Waterdeep and claim their assumed right places.
Husband will be angry with anyone within reach, avoid.
Twins are knights of death, three floors down. Sir Puddlejump is ready to save and protect the area.

Mystrael gets a stair entrance!
We go to find the twins. One floor down, large room with wisps asking questions and getting aggressive. Supported by nothics.

Holy room.
Meditation room, secret door, dark room with stone table. Tablet with foreign writing has a link to the Far Realm.
Looking around the escaped wisp from combat lures us into an ambush with a wizard, ele-mental and several wisps.
Healing up a bit. Bardic inspiration happens.
Puddle opens door into room with tapestry. Desk, Kharon and Cael investigates and reads a heavy paper on wizard stuff about far realm.
Going south. Another study with a desk and a tapestry. Bedchamber with weird female crea-ture with two mouths and four arms. Two grels are there. They talk in grel about making us “subjects”, quick kill.
Moving on south through anti-magic zone. Takes some time before things start working again. Ending up back in the big room and a smaller room with a statue and stairs down. Checking the west wing first. Bunch of Slaads does a lot of damage.
Further west, it smells and there are Nothics. Latrine room, room with star tapestry with gems. We take the tapestry and a bunch of books.
There’s a bunch of nothics up north.

Clearing the rest of the floor quickly, stairs down.
Large hall with pillars, statues of nobles.
Arandraya and Maelweene Shadowdusk
Xerrion, Yarlithra Shadowdusk.
Secret door behind one statue leads to a small corridor and another secret door. One of the twins and lots of wraiths are there.
Big fight, lots of crits in both directions.
Eye of Halaster appears for a bit. Cael binds up a lot of wounds, before we more on up north. Large hallway with several double doors, some go back to the large hall with the statues. The west doors opens to a large, ugly dragon.
New combat with many crits, dragon down (and some pillars).
Through the south double doors are huge amounts of treasure.
Outside the dragon room going north, a guy looking mostly insect is talking a grick and a slaad, instantly hostile. Instectman got very hurt and broke his staff in two. Lots of damage, party somewhat hurt, but moves on back to the central chamber.

Ioun stone of Leadership

Looking for the other twin.
Southern rooms, storage and stoned beholder.
Small room to the north, death knight. Something in the north casting spells. Slaads?
B dies a lot. Puddle hurts a bit.
Side room obelisk. Holding a prisoner. Eandryth topples it. Frog. Cael says it is a normal frog. Moving around to the tapestry and double doors. Small rift to the astral plane, not possible for travel.
Going back to beholder and portal. Hand comes out of the ground demanding magic. Many tries, B almost gets petrified but the kiss of a frog saves him.
Cael gives a pair of Elven boots, and the hand disappears. Dusk goes through the portal and can cast augury. The rest follows.
Floor 23.
Mad Halaster harassing Cael for all his faults, then melting away. Two ways south to a bunch or helmed horrors.
Going west there’s a room with a lot of heads in jars. Eandryth and Kalim tries to speak to them and get some historical information.
Emerald Blade
Waterdeep was erected atop the bones of a dwarven kingdom built on the dust of a much old-er elven kingdom. It is said that a relic of the elves still waits to be found in Undermountain: a magic sword so sharp that its edge can slice through stone. Many adventurers have vanished during their hunt for the weapon, which, it is said, the elves blessed with the heart of a warrior and the soul of a poet.
Underground Forest
The River of the Depths connects the fourth and fifth levels of Undermountain, skirting the edges of vast caverns filled with trees, shrubs, birds, other animals, and sunlight. An entire for-est, as real as any found on the surface, waits to be explored, but an archdruid protects it. And explorers traveling downriver have seen a huge green dragon as well, perched on a tower near a bridge that spans the river.
Other door to the north, purple worm statues in the corners, pile of magic stash at the end of the room. It appears to be hidden in a Wall of Force. Cael says there are four invisible creatures (stalkers?). Cael plans to dimension door in to kill them and get the stuff.

Meditation room, secret door, dark room with stone table. Tablet with foreign writing has a link to the Far Realm.
Looking around the escaped wisp from combat lures us into an ambush with a wizard, ele-mental and several wisps.
Healing up a bit. Bardic inspiration happens.
Puddle opens door into room with tapestry. Desk, Kharon and Cael investigates and reads a heavy paper on wizard stuff about far realm.
Going south. Another study with a desk and a tapestry. Bedchamber with weird female crea-ture with two mouths and four arms. Two grels are there. They talk in grel about making us “subjects”, quick kill.
Moving on south through anti-magic zone. Takes some time before things start working again. Ending up back in the big room and a smaller room with a statue and stairs down. Checking the west wing first. Bunch of Slaads does a lot of damage.
Further west, it smells and there are Nothics. Latrine room, room with star tapestry with gems. We take the tapestry and a bunch of books.
There’s a bunch of nothics up north.

Clearing the rest of the floor quickly, stairs down.
Large hall with pillars, statues of nobles.
Arandraya and Maelweene Shadowdusk
Xerrion, Yarlithra Shadowdusk.
Secret door behind one statue leads to a small corridor and another secret door. One of the twins and lots of wraiths are there.
Big fight, lots of crits in both directions.
Eye of Halaster appears for a bit. Cael binds up a lot of wounds, before we more on up north. Large hallway with several double doors, some go back to the large hall with the statues. The west doors opens to a large, ugly dragon.
New combat with many crits, dragon down (and some pillars).
Through the south double doors are huge amounts of treasure.
Outside the dragon room going north, a guy looking mostly insect is talking a grick and a slaad, instantly hostile. Instectman got very hurt and broke his staff in two. Lots of damage, party somewhat hurt, but moves on back to the central chamber.

Looking for the other twin.
Southern rooms, storage and stoned beholder.
Small room to the north, death knight. Something in the north casting spells. Slaads?
B dies a lot. Puddle hurts a bit.
Side room obelisk. Holding a prisoner. Eandryth topples it. Frog. Cael says it is a normal frog. Moving around to the tapestry and double doors. Small rift to the astral plane, not possible for travel.
Going back to beholder and portal. Hand comes out of the ground demanding magic. Many tries, B almost gets petrified but the kiss of a frog saves him.
Cael gives a pair of Elven boots, and the hand disappears. Dusk goes through the portal and can cast augury. The rest follows.
Floor 23.
Mad Halaster harassing Cael for all his faults, then melting away. Two ways south to a bunch or helmed horrors.
Going west there’s a room with a lot of heads in jars. Eandryth and Kalim tries to speak to them and get some historical information.
Emerald Blade
Waterdeep was erected atop the bones of a dwarven kingdom built on the dust of a much old-er elven kingdom. It is said that a relic of the elves still waits to be found in Undermountain: a magic sword so sharp that its edge can slice through stone. Many adventurers have vanished during their hunt for the weapon, which, it is said, the elves blessed with the heart of a warrior and the soul of a poet.
Underground Forest
The River of the Depths connects the fourth and fifth levels of Undermountain, skirting the edges of vast caverns filled with trees, shrubs, birds, other animals, and sunlight. An entire for-est, as real as any found on the surface, waits to be explored, but an archdruid protects it. And explorers traveling downriver have seen a huge green dragon as well, perched on a tower near a bridge that spans the river.
Other door to the north, purple worm statues in the corners, pile of magic stash at the end of the room. It appears to be hidden in a Wall of Force. Cael says there are four invisible creatures (stalkers?). Cael plans to dimension door in to kill them and get the stuff.
150gp each.
