2025-04-13 Crystal Camp Battle Pt. 2
- Nia smashes the green crystals to bits, releasing Groggy from a long slumber at the hands of the mage. He's a rock monster of some sort, who is dedicated to protecting the island and the powerful magic of the crystals.
- He is a guardian of the Warding Stone. The Ancient High Elves charged him with protecting it. It is ancient high elf magic from back when the Bitterwood was evil and dangerous.
- Pill and Panalin pull down the big crystal. A large portal opens up near the tip and a super big baddie tries to come through. They are tough.
- Once we defeat the mage, Nia Moonwhisper takes the amulet and her staff. The amulet is silver with a silver chain.
- The crystal can even suck powers from magical beings. At one point in the fight, Nia Moonwhisper and Jeremy lost a level 1 spell slot.
- Great narration by the DM as a giant green monster attempts to come through the hole just as its closing.
- The runestone deposits change from blue to a pink/purple/greenish hue.
- Groggy thinks the Warding Stone's powerful warding spell will return now the crystal is deactivated.
- The Drow get their magic from Lolth
- Krix made some delicious squirrel stew
- We took a long rest.
- We learn the Towers are another form of warding from the Ancient High Elves. They were also used to store and protect arcane items. If the drow get access to that, bad stuff could happen.
- Pan got Groggy to make a rock bridge for us over the mud flats.
- This island is called Gladwyn's Island
