Employer: Spica Capella - Aventi Arch Magus in Sanctuary at the western end of the Coral Sea. Located south of Pasifika on the Zeylandia Plateau
Mission: Investigate Strange Goings Ons In Aventi Country
Plane: Alusia
Pay: 20sp per day per person, reasonable expenses and Loot (there's bound to be some. Right?) and 35,000 sp
Days on Adventure: We'll know when we get back
Job Description
Somewhere to the South West of the Coral Sea is the sunken area where the Aventi came from. In Sanctuary, some of the Aventi family groups, who moved there have, over the last few weeks, transmuted into strange aquatic humanoids, which DA as 'Ulat Kini' and swam off back to their aquatic homelands. They seemed to be under some sort of trance as they left as they did not acknowledge anyone as they left. DA's seemed to indicate they were under some sort of compulsion. Aventi that followed them, noticed other groups joining this exodus, all similarly transformed and heading towards an eldritch green mist shrouded area, that emitted a strong feeling of dread as well as a Forbiddance against any other sentient aquatic species. So Arch Magus Spica teleported to the Guild in order to seek help from non-aquatic adventurers. It is feared that all the Aventi may be affected by this over time and she wants it stopped.
Astrology Reading
The island is covered in purple fire and shadows, I fear it will destroy us. The Tridents grow eyes and watch for us to all fall asleep, fools them, for I do not sleep and outwit them.
Of note by Lim. See previous adventure that is likely related.

Ariel is their daughter and heir who rules Coral Sea and Zeylandia, Celestial Star mage, master MilSci
Aquana is the older daughter but she become an adventurer and abdicated, Bard (orange tail, blond)
Day 1 2nd of Meadow
Spica Capella comes to guild
they have a problem in that there are Aventi who are mutating into Ulat-Kini also called colloquially Skum
problem is that they got up and left, and seemed dazed, they were coherent until few days ago, originally they thought it was a disease, about 30 people are effected, first happened about 3-4 weeks ago
on investigation their generic true name is changing, guild security says there is a threat there, someone is tinkering with them at genetic level
otherwise there is some activity around deeps, horrors
origin story of Aventi is that their continent sank, humans prayed to gods and were turned into mer-people, or they were created slaves of the Aboleth ( high level mind mages, expert illusionists)
we uncover that this kind of thing may have happened in the past, so need to look up info in the library
previously something similar happened on contact with the slime of Aboleth but this if much more widespread and without the slime, the only known local Aboleth has been eliminated (see Coral Sea Colony adventure) Standard Aboleth are creatures that extrude slime with transforms land victims into water breathers and mindless servants
the transformed people walked into a mist shrouded area, which is warded by a Forbiddance, those Aventi unaffected bounced against the barrier, which seems to forbid aquatic sentients, orca and dolphins did not get through
we spend evening preparing to portal out
- Uzi-provides everyone with a stuffed mouse to enable location
- Sabastian-provides linked life force
- Sabastian-all have Rnk 20 witch sight
- Uzi-provides all with Rnk 20 greater
- Uzi/Sabastian-provides all with permanent lesser
Day 2
next morning
- we all get water breathing 16hrs
- all have Rnk 20 water breathing potion
portal out
goto library find Melody there being assisted by a 'fairy' (lykarian azata), do research
goto hospital, Vydia and Harmony are there Harmony doing bardic ritual to sleep the Aventi that are being transformed
could be the effect is transferred over telepathy, mind-spell like, so to protect we would need mind cloak on all Aventi, difficult!
effect is coming from the west, DA and find out it is a curse, around rank 42, duration-permanent unless countered
the physical transformation is a week, mental effect starts earlier, total 8 days
Lim sets-up to try to try remove curse
loud family argument ensues
we look into getting range of items/spells to protect which Ursula provides
- 2 pearls of Aboleth increases the wearer's Magical Resistance by 10 to any attempt at magical control, charm, compulsion, coercion, or possession. Should this magic be performed by an Aboleth (or any Horror) this increase is doubled to 20. In addition, should if it becomes the possession of a Controlled entity that entity gains a new Magical Resistance vs Control with the above bonuses.
- 5 each of Rnk 20 mind special counter (a message is sent to initiate production)
- 18 mind-shield Rnk10
- 30 waters of healing Rnk 20 (5 each)
- 5 potions to increase will-power +2 Rnk 7 herbalist
- Spica provides amulets to 2 earth mages that allow us to function not in contact with earth
there is some thought that the mind effects follow an inverse square law
we rest the Aventi have air filled residences on top floor
discuss summoning of aquatic animals, sea-cats (but at 3 sisters) octopus
underwater breathing works on land animals (Buz the dog)
Uzi finds out he shouldn't just pee in the water
Sebastian does some linking life force
Lim provides everyone with squeezable potion bottles, ,green healing, purple restorative, blue strength
prepare to explore, arm up(see the standard buffs below)
- all waterproofing, protection from cold, buoyancy, water breathing etc
- all witch-sight, armour earth, strength of stone, etc
- all Rnk +5 sailor
plan to use boat as an Aventi base
need to consider potential for controlled people to attack us
Rnk 32 shadowings fly (11-39 mph)
fly out and send crystal balls into mist to take a look, one shows an eye, then reaches full duration
9 Mi-Go (Horrors -agent of destruction) come out and attack
- we prepare, they appear to be multi-dimensional and are hard to focus on, require 2*WP to target
- Sebastian blasts one, which goes into a dive, and is eaten by Tulips animal growthed shark
- One flys through walls and attacks is pounded and finished off by Tulips shark
- Sebastian has 4 walls up which are doing very well, especially the fear rolls
- Find out they are animated flying plants, have 4 claw attacks
- They turn and flee
- DA one of plant bodies Mi-Go dark aspected, no collage of magic, plane of origin Yuggoth, trans-dimensional
- look inside, leaf like leaves, sap like blood, body formed of vines, head has structure that is a clump of small fibers that radiate through the body (brain), has no eyes but sensory organ, glaive like appendages
Human, woman flys in (Lizette from court of Brandenburg) with red hair and a note on a lanyard around her neck, she is from Aqualina, she is a Namer, healer, can banish, curse removal, can tank, sling/sap main weapons
We investigate the wall of mist
- forms a dome 8-10 miles high, flashes of lightening, deep purple colour further go in
- close to but not necromancy, effect on humans on going through cloud is draining, 10s of FT a round. Necros special (+30) to resist. Effected the shark, which shows it works underwater.
- Forbiddance is a little further in 5ft.
- Sebastian flys in, finds out its 3 miles wide, 3 magic and 2 flight checks required
- There is an island another 7 miles in and at least 50 Mi-Gos, purple greenish light
- cove and black sand beach (rock with writing on it) and path, surrounded by a cliff, at tope seems to be old civilisation (buildings, roads etc) graceful spires, some broken towers appear to be in "orbit" around the island and pyramid in middle, beyond pyramid is a dome with a broken tower,
- see giant lobster for an instant (Chuul) which turns into shipwrecked sailor who is waiving, mind effect save, to disbelieve illusions. Not control or compulsion.
We ride a wave in,
- there is a pink patch which is full of jelly-fish which we skirt
- large kraken behind us, from Alusia,long lived sentient, all tenticles miss us, kracken is being controlled by mind mage, we leave it behind
- on the beach a large rock covered in graffiti, within 10ft of rock need to do a resistance check, the stone drops memories directly into mind, DA magical enchantment, sleep
- see giant lobster tracks that lead into a cave
- actively resist being mentally "tickled" by telepathy, drink mind shield potions (last rnk hours)
land on the island
- sheer cliff, 30m high, climb up with rope, work our way along an old "Roman" road through a forest, looks like someone has taken a chunk out of the landscape
- failed save get webbed feet/hands and knobly, unique magical minor taint, usual ways removing will not work. Constant barrage magical effects
- lay down some mind special counter vs transformation (only last about 24min)
- think about flying inland, looking up we see a
- "Dementor" flying past, looks like wraith, GTN Cloaker, college illusion plus other spell like effects
- on balance we decide its better to fly inland
Library
- on the way see building B2 on map, collapsed crystal dome with large shards in the ground
- move on to look inside, is a ruined library
- evidence of preservation and indexing magics
- there are metal plates floating around the room
- "merlyn" is written on plates, apparently outermost planet of solar system which appears/disappears, some elvish writing suggest it is passing in and out of Alusian plane, we think this is a link to the plane of merlin
- see tracks up to some of copper plates that are degraded
- then see some insectoid, small dog sized creatures, heading for the person with most metal, DA is light aspected, rust monsters
- this plane is Alusia "with a subscript"
- we fight them and win
- roll MR for taint 2 more people get a minor taint??
Conversation with will-o-wisps
- we get ready to explore more and are surrounded by 8 will o'wisp
- DA college none, aspect light
- we talk with them, find out that the taint makes you into a servant of the great old one
- great old one is waiting to be summoned, but his servent is here on other side of the island, and driving the taint,
- we need to kill him to release those already transformed.
- Need also to destroy the amplifier, which is in the observatory B7.
- Old Orrery master wears the old amulet of Aulis? which is needed to shut down Orrery.
- Amulet is needed to shut down the wards Old Orrery master is now actively helping the servant.
- The astrologer was consumed by the beast in the ever growing tower, B3. First need to speak to the elder things, in the quick-silver graveyard, B4. Will-o-wisp gives us directions.
- B5 is the aquarium where exotic creatures from the sea were kept
- so plan is to go B4 (talk elder)-B3(recover amulet)-B7(shut down orrery)
- will-o-wisp disperse
Move on
- our GTN is changing human with subscript "deep one"
- effect is getting stronger and stronger the closer we get to the center
