Sesión 23

Templo del anochecer

Tienen primero que encontrar el templo, cuando lo encuentren está completamente a oscura y lleno de sirvientoes mecánicos y renacidos de la primera órden. Los renacidos sirven a un diablo que le entregó a Atreos los secretos de la nigromancia. El diablo controla todos lo no-muertos (incluido Egir).

Chalkrom y las sátiras se quedarán atrás, M213 va a viajar a la guarnición más cercana para que las tropas puedan venir a la forja. Purphoros probablemente hará correr la voz entre sus seguidores que su nuevo campeón ha reclamado el templo del amanecer y pronto más oradores rojos se unirán a ellos.

encontrar la entrada al templo de la medianoche llevará tempo pero un hechizo de detectar no-muertos o una comunicación con los dioses puede ayudar.

Chalkrom les regalará un colalr de resistencia al fuego hecho con partes de dragón.

Entrada

La entrada consiste en un agujero en al tierra que desciende hacia la oscuridad un potente sello lo bloqueda, pero disipar magia puede levantarlo.

La caída son unos 50 bajar de golpe sin ninguna ayuda implica 25d6 de daño de fuerza. Una vez al fondo está completamente oscuro como si una niebla mágica bloqueara la luz. Todas la efectividad de las fuentes de luz se reducen a la mitad.

Las últimas gotas de luz se filtran de la superficie cuando descendeis al jardín. Decenas de sarcófagos de piedra se encuentran apilados en las paredes de piedra. Un pasto de flores y musgo grisáceo cubre el fondo de esta sala. En la oscuridad se aprecia una estatua de un metal de color apagado. Representando a un decrépito anciano sin piernas con velo tapando su cabeza apoyándose en su báculo para arrastrarse por el suelo. Lo reconocéis como Atreos el dios del pasaje y la muerte. Bajo la estauta la entrada al templo de la medianoche os aguarda.

En la entrada se encontrarán una guarnición de no-muertos, inicialmente no-hostiles. Hablarán a la vez presentandose como Livyatán. El señor de la casa, inicialmente interesado en los vivos que se arrastran a su morada. Les preguntará si Atreos sabe que están aquí y si ha llegado ya el día para otra purga.

Necrópolis

Una ciudad subetrránea compuesta de callejuelas y edificios que ascienden más allá de la luz que portáis. Un terreno laberíntico de calles desérticas. El eco de vuestros pasos acompaña a susurros en la oscuridad. Chirridos y sonidos de pasos incorpóreos que parecen seguiros a medida que avanzáis. Vuestras antorchas formado una burvuja de luz en esta profunda oscuridad.

Para llegar al portal es necesario superar una tirada de supervivencia u orientación de dificultad 35, por cada fallo la dificultad se reduce en 5.

Primer encuentro

Livyatán primero se presentará al grupo en un gimnasium tomado por el musgo y las plantas.

Se escuchan gruñidos de esfuerzo y el sonido de pesados metales golpeando contra la piedra. La luz desvela a un diablo de piel correosa y alas de murciélago. Porta una corona de oro en sus cuernos y un cinturón de metal que tapa su virilidad. Acompañandole hay dos demonios menores y un no-muerto cubierto por una tela.

Livyatán Se encuentra tumbado en un banco levantando dos pesadas mancuernas de piedra, los dos demonios expectantes por si su señor pierda las fuerzas y se le caen.

Livyatán dirá que ha recordado porqué conoce a Egir. Y es que su hermano es de sus mejores amigos, sin embargo Kalogeros no le ha hablado muy bien de él. Dice que se llevó su daga y además le dejó morir sólo mientras Egir salía corriendo. Pero Livyatán hay algo que no soporta y es que dos hermanos se lleven mal. Así que le ha traído para que hagan las paces.

Debajo de la manta hay ulo que antes debío se hombre corpulento de pelo rojizo. La piel de sus extremidades es blanquecina y sus puntas están bañadas en sangre reseca. De su pecho y hastala sien emergen un sinfín de armas de bronce todavía supurando sangre negra.

Kalogeros y su montura atacarán al grupo. Junto con los demonios cuando uno de ellos baje a menos de la mitad de la vida huirán en la oscuridad.

When it teleports, the specter appears astride the gloamwing along with any equipment it is wearing or carrying. While mounted and not incapacitated, the specter can't be surprised, and both it and its mount gain advantage on Dexterity saving throws.

Actions

Multiattack. The specter makes two scythe attacks.

Scythe. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) slashing damage plus 13 (3d8) psychic damage.

Mind Twist (Recharge 5–6). The specter magically emits psychic energy in a 60-foot cone. Each creature in that area must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or take 22 (5d8) psychic damage and be stunned for 1 minute. The stunned creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Reap Memory (3/Day). The specter touches one incapacitated creature and chooses 1 hour from among the past 24. Unless the creature succeeds on a DC 15 Intelligence saving throw, the creature loses all memory of that hour. The creature regains the memory only if the specter dies within the next 24 hours.

Limited Sentience. A Nightveil specter is created when the mind magic of House Dimir erases a person's identity, leaving a mind so broken it can no longer live. Thus, Nightveil specters have no memory of their previous lives, and they are just clever enough to follow their orders with some amount of creativity. They pursue their assigned tasks with fearless determination.

Gloamwing Mount. If a gloamwing is killed, its specter becomes fixated on destroying those responsible. If the specter survives, it can create a new gloamwing over the course of a month, during which time the specter is incapacitated.

A gloamwing's head is almost ratlike, with prominent teeth, and its leathery skin is stretched tight over its skull, where its eyes are empty sockets. Its body is mottled with bony plates, and great wings stretch from its shoulders.

Undead Nature. A Nightveil specter and its gloamwing mount don't require air, food, drink, or sleep.

Antimagic Cone. The woe strider's open mouth creates an area of antimagic, as in the antimagic field spell, in a 60-foot cone. At the start of each of its turns, the woe strider decides which way the cone faces and whether its mouth is open or closed.

Actions

Multiattack. The woe strider makes two claw attacks and one bite attack. If both claws hit the same creature, the target is grappled (escape DC 14).

Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d6 + 4) slashing damage plus 3 (1d6) psychic damage.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature that is grappled, incapacitated, or restrained. Hit: 13 (2d8 + 4) piercing damage plus 16 (3d10) psychic damage.
