After meeting with Manzorian the Heroes agreed to explore the ruins of Kuluth-Mar. After choosing to only gather a few minimal supplies the Heroes used the magical painting of the Spire of Long Shadows to attune to the location. Then they used one of Teleport Scrolls to travel across time and space to reach the ancient ruins.
Here they discovered an ancient containment wall infused with red glowing Dethek runes, like the ones used by Dwarves or Eastern Human languages such as Rasheman and Damaran. After being chased over the wall by a nearby very large giant lizard (T-Rex) the heroes moved through the ancient ruined city. Tyree was attacked by a no longer dormant magical cursed bastard sword which seemed to fuse with his left arm (awkward - Maybe he might want to get that looked at in Waterdeep? Just an idea.)
Soon after this little mishap, the Heroes, approaching the Spire, encountered clickity clackkitey large Undead Eviscerate Beetles. That seemed to be controlled by what could only be described as a Kyuss Knight. This was one of the toughest battles the Heroes had faced yet. After two more Beetles showed up the Heroes were finally victorious; but not before Rumple was nearly annihilated (-115 hp, that has got to have left a mark - DM determined penalty to be negotiated at next session; ie big fat scars in multiple places, a patch of hair that will never grow right, a streak of white hair caused by seeing the Banshee, etc.)
The ground also burst forth in two larger than seen before Worm Swarms. If not for the quick aerial maneuvers of the party Rumple would have been lost.
The Heroes also experienced two very detailed Visions.
#1) The Heroes witnessed what only could be described as Kyuss ruling over the ancient city of Kuluth-Mar. Of course their were much more details to this, but the vision was so horrid, that it is hard to remember or more likely the minds of the Heroes have suppressed the detail.
#2) The Heroes witnessed a strange pulsating monolith the shape of a trapezoid atop the Spire of Long Shadows. At some point a huge Red Dragon riped the object from its perch and flies away with it to the North. Egwaine spotted a strange insectoid figure ridding the dragon. Egwaine recognized the curious detail that the figure resembled the ancient Netherese depiction of the god Jergal.
Will the Heroes survive the dark and dangerous alleyways of Waterdeep? Who really was Kyuss? Will Tyree accidentally kill the Party with the Cloak of Hidden Dangers or the strange weapon fused to his arm? And what has become of poor Edward Harpell? For the answers to these questions and more, tune in to the next session of the Age of Worms.
