Roll Models D&D: Episode 73 – Communions with the Dead
Explicit content warning
05/05/23 • 104 min
RECAP TIME:
Dolan Crissaphaene had sought to control the Touch Lotus Thieves guild with gold, strange clockwork augmentations, and promises of power in the Delnori city. All they had to do was work with him to fix and reopen the Opal archway and continue searching the burrowing worlds beyond it for artefacts Crissaphaene can use to make himself immortal.
But when our heroes came across the archway, and caught wind of Dolans plans, it was never going to happen so easy.
Our heroes stormed the archway cave in the early hours with alchemical bombs, raised skeletons and a bold plan. And it worked. Kind of.
The Touch Lotus leader, Fenriv was ripped away from the ritual machine and draped into an underground river, and Dolan fought first to keep the ritual going, and then for his life.
But even after he fell, the ritual had opened the archway, albeit tenuously. A giant creature pushed through, a mass of writhing tentacles and barbs the size of a small ship.
With the help of the remaining Touch Lotus, our heroes felled the abomination as it tried to slip into the waterways... leaving our heroes catching their collective breath as they searched through the remains of the Clockwork Alchemists hideout...

RECAP TIME:
After raiding the Touch Lotus Thieves cave, our heroes fought to shut down the archway and stop the soon-to-be litch Dolan Crissaphaene’s plans to seek out relics from the worlds beyond the archway.
Explosions rocked the cave, Dolan ignited to life a brass automaton that waded into the fight, and Ora ripped one of the Touch Lotus thieves from the copper pipes that seemed to be stabilising the ritual. The latter sent the archway into a frenzy of flickering auroras, and Dolan struggled to keep it under control.
Then the spilling light of the archway steadied on a cavelike world beyond the, and from within, enormous, blue and purple tentacles began reaching through.
Finally, Ahmaya touched the Schiver buried in Dolan’s chest that was fueling much of his magic, and her own schiver – murmur, the sword haunted by a small bird – burned away its power. He stumbled, leaving Freya open to deliver the final blow with a potent spell.
Dolan hit the floor. The archway flickered as the ritual came to an end, and cluster of giant, milky eyes peered through. Before the archway could close, the tentacles spasmed and clawed the ground, pulling their bulbous body through, and it roared...

RECAP TIME:
It is safe to say that our heroes have made a name for themselves in the chasm city of Delnori.
They made waves with washed-up thieve’s guild ‘prince’ Morderyn Lamoré, worked favours for landlord and pirate concierge, Ripper, and achieved the impossible for the Captain of the Oddmium Trist.
The latter involved seeking out a lost map fragment that would lead the crew to a city that fell deep into the Broken Sea during the Great Unbinding.
It was this drowned place they agreed to accompany the crew in finding, a sealed tomb there called Yelanriere to be specific.
And lastly, they halted Dolan Crissaphaene’s plot to litchify himself by sending clockwork augmented thieves into a tunnel world called the burrowings to seek out powerful relics.
Now, with our heroes’ time in Delnori coming to a close – at least for the length of a pirate’s voyage – they need to spend some much needed time tying up loose ends, preparing for the open sea, and finding out just how notorious they have really become...
