title: In the Lon's Thicket of It, S3E1
---

## Current Objectives

- Travel to Lon's Thicket, and experience the suspected trap being setup for Sheila G.

## Events

- The party first hunts down Harvey. Bubons _Sends_ a message, and we go to meet him at his inn.
    - On the way, Naynay gets Sheila G's attention by throwing a clam shell at her head.
    - We get to the inn. We find Harvey. Harvey joins the group! Reggae Tony tags along for funsies tho.

- The party splits up! Sheila G, Harvey, and Reggae Tony head to the Temple of Cayden Calien. Boobons and Gartug head to House Goremon to checkin.
    - Goremon! The frame of the Space Laser is beginning construction. In order to facilitate construction fully, proposition to move construction from the shipyards to the siegeworks. This will necessitate Council involvement, but at this point it seem inevitable.
    - G! Arrive at the Temple, and find Celia preaching to some novitiates. Sheila G interrupts, to get updates.
        - Learn that the cult of socothbonoth has been mostly dismantled by the police.
        - Learn that none of the newbies can establish a divine link with Cayden Calien
        - Learn about Nataliah's imprisionment.

- Boobons and Gartug head towards SG's Temple. SG and Co. head to the guard station where Taliah's being held.
    - Nataliah was given some leeway while imprisioned, and she finished her first construct: a Graven Guardian of Brigh. Taliah agrees to join the party again, since she otherwise wouldn't be allowed to wander around.
    - G steps outside, meets up with the rest of the gang, and syncs up with Naynay. We learn that the former cultists are being coerced into significantly worse cults. Naynay gives us a sign of Shubnigaroth as indication of the new cult.

- Sheila G meets with the head priest of Gozreh to discuss next steps for dealing with hunting down the Subnigaroth cult. She also gets a cool little bangle.

- Gartug takes Chuck to Sheila G's temple to help guard the place.

- The next day, the Party hops a _teleport_ to the Flint Pits. Bubans has a small mishap, and we wind up in an abandoned village. The buildings are partially collapsed, and designed for creatures larger than us. In the distance can be seen the tops of ziggaurats. Beneath us is a broken cobblestone road, and it looks like once upon a time it was planed straight and level. Harvey determines this is one of the forgotten cities of the Cyclopean Empire. Evidently this is severely dangerous territory, filled with untold riches and portals directly to the Underdark. We decide to ignore the call of adventure, and _teleport_ properly to the Flint Pits.

- We arrive at the Pits. The Earth reminds Boobons to do his thing. Harvey convinced Boobons to do the thing. Nataliah tries to get the murder rock for her own ends, but everyone refuses. As we argue constantly about what to do with the radioactive rock, a cloaked lady stumbles out of one of the caves, and instantly recognizes, and calls out to, Sheila G.
    - She informs G of the recent horrors and problems. Nothing really happens.
    - We move north! Current plan is to return the rock? Sure.

- While traveling, we encounter very little trouble. We run into some weird flying leather sacks, Yrthaks. Later, we met with a cliff giant named Kobonabon, who provides us some information.

- We rest for the evening, and approach the canyon in the morning. Above the canyon, eagles and giant eagles are flying. In the canyon, there is a river. There is a rather large cave opening, and along the face of it are big pillars that look kind of like big teeth. Beyond, something glimmering in the darkness. There are winged humanoid figures flying within and above the canyon, with more in small alcoves carved into the rock along side the cave entrance. We agree to try and open discussions with the figures, the garuda.
    - Sheila G tries to get the attention of some. A few garuda notice, and one of them shoots an arrow into the ground before us. It has a streamer with writing on it, which reads, "IF you value your life, go somewhere else." Taliah considers that discussions over. Sheila G tries again.
    - Harvy and Boobons _dimension door_ into the cave entrance. At 40 feet inside, they find a set of rough stairs descending into darkness, with glittering rocks nearby. Behind them, a garuda notices and attacks. Initiative!
        - Boobons turns _invisible_ and moves into the cave.
        - Harvey just runs really fast into the cave.
    - Sheila G successfully gets the attention of one of the garuda, and discusses more with them. He asks to speak with their leader, and this one tells her where to go. Taliah agrees to just hang back.
    - Harvy and Boobons find where to put the rock. They also find a portal to the plane of earth, and some mean looking weirdos. Initiative!
    - Sheila G talks with the chief. He performs some interpretive dance, and uses a metaphor. Sheila G _sends_ this information to Boobons.
    - Back to combat! Harvey and Boobons beat up some undead giants and weird fleshy spiky balls. Eventually Boobons receives a _sending_, which doesn't really help him.
    - Some garuda notice Taliah and approaches. He asks if I have any rocks. I say no. He asks if I'm lying. I ask him to wait, check my bag, and produce a piece of charcoal. The garuda demands the charcoal. I refuse. It threatens me. I put away my charcoal. It signals for attack. Reggae Tony runs for the hills. I throw up my hands in frustration and walk towards the hills.
    
    - We call it for the night!
