Plot Synopsis
The game started with Fianon and Blue meeting up with a different party arriving near them via boat, completely missing the dragon entirely. We flashed back to said group meeting with Dr. Yisheng Mei, receiving their payment and a tip that they aren’t the first group hired to help. The parties joined and spent a long time deliberating how to enter the Lithicore Mine. Feare, being brave (a bit ironic), looked around and saw an unguarded doorway, with a few corridors that had guards patrolling in them. Blue used shadow magics to make the area darker, allowing them to slip inside the main door. Here, they found protective suits to help against the ambient radiation. They also found an elevator going deep underground. To make sure there was no poison gas or elevator troubles, the party sacrificed Gaul Soodman as the canary. He was fine, and the party went down together. John, Feare, and Oswald pooled their resources together to hand out torches and light sources.
Heading into the damp cave system, the party ended up in a set of minecarts. At one point, Fianon used Feare’s grappling hook to pull a lever allowing the cart to steer away from a terrible crash. They went through a large cavern with an underwater waterfall that seemed to be made of purified water. Using some of John’s oil, the party was able to make sure the rusty brakes didn’t snap during the slowed descent.
After braking, the party determined they were at a dead end, near the Waste containment center of the mine system. Up above them on a balcony, they heard a Lithicore representative conveniently reading some recent letters from Charles Lithicore out loud. Something about a cyborg, a shipment to Zuanshi Steelworks, and the troubles with the leak. They snuck upstairs after he left and found a welding kit missing its flame, as well as a series of notes about needing to seal up a crack in the waste containment center, a list of the paid off health and safety investigators, strange blueprints for what appeared to be biomechanical parts, and a map of Ruefang with strange tealish lines on it labeled “Leylines.” The party worked together to trace the map and the other info but took the incriminating notes.
They also spotted a crack inside the waste containment chamber. Using a nearby control panel to stop the mixing processes, and clearing bits of the water up with purifying holy water, the party sent Angi down with the welding kit to seal up the crack, since she was the fire mage and could provide the flames needed. They took some lanterns with the, with Yiru convincing Gaul that the lanterns were obtained “legally.” Gaul broke physics to try and steer the party back up the minecart path and sped back to Gumbo’s boat.
They were spotted as they escaped, but narrowly avoided being shot at. Fianon pulled a great shot with his rifle before they sped away. However, Gumbo got slightly distracted, and the game ended with party feeling a strange bump on the bottom of the boat.
