The man who Peered into the Abyss 1 [Dirge of the Depths Intro] (Woofdont, Jaern)
Plot Synopsis
Party was recruited by Professor Gris Impala (Head of Woofdont’s Department of Marine Biology), to investigate the lab of his missing graduate student, Isaac Ghaldric, and locate his research documents. Party was one of several that attempted Prof. Impala’s request, but the only one not to be rebuked by his arrogant personality. After attempting to negotiate the payment of the quest with an increasingly irate Prof. Impala, they were assigned supervision by graduate student Aureola Mistral (a.k.a. Missy) to prevent theft of confidential materials. Though misled by an airheaded Missy, the party was eventually able to locate Issac’s lab. Once inside, the party found the laboratory to be abandoned, but still booby-trapped against intruders. Through various means (digging through, throwing rocks/Missy, teleportation) the Party was eventually able to cross the initial hallway and enter the lab proper. However the laboratory’s security system was triggered and the party entered combat against Issac’s security robots.
After brutally slashing their way through the concernly-sentient robots, they were able to rummage through Isaac’s research. Detailed in his notes and through experiments scattered around the lab, were descriptions of his research into “Abysslings”. Deep-sea creatures with the capacity to rapidly assimilate any form of organic matter. Isaac, unable to study the inert abysslings, decided to investigate the origin of these bizarre creatures, talking of a singular “Captain” who was willing to transport him and a party of adventurers far offshore. The party also found complex blueprints for a device called the Migraine, that could supposedly sever a large creature's connection with the central mind temporarily. Only one clue to his location was found, faint mentions of a town named Ailwein. The only remaining incident resulted from Metorsi using their scythe to break through a suspicious door, only to skewer an unsuspecting janitor, who would have died if not for medical intervention from Dave.
The party was able to safely return to Prof. Impala’s office to hand-in miscellaneous documents and detail Isaac’s current whereabouts. The Professor directed them to investigate Ailwein, in exchange for magic items as an additional reward. Following a night of rest, the party was teleported to Ailwein, where a major festival is about to occur.
