Wreth attacks come in from nowhere, puzzling party.
Fight with the beast commences.
Anyone with 15+ perception check notices the factory shutting down and barricading.
They must try to stop the door from closing before they are locked out.
After the beast is defeated, the crew explores the factory and discovers the Protomic bombs.
Investigation check = they are potentially capable of destroying continents, or perhaps something larger.
They hear a voice, congratulating them on making it this far. He says vaguely hints at knowing the king and being unhappy with his rule. Perception/Arcana reveals invisibility magic.
After destroying the factory, you hear his voice again as he tells you to look for King Wroth in the northern temple, but to be wary of his tricks.
Sneak through the forest, make their way to the ziggurat.
Upon touching the jade steps, you hear the king's voice weakly in your head "please, help me. I can't control it, please..."
The entrance leads into the first chamber.
multiple rooms connected in a loop, slits in the outer walls allow moonlight into the room in small shafts.
Each room has a reflective sheet of polished jade.
There are clusters of large and small crystals bolted to the floor.
-Small crystals release trapdoors with zombie gener.
-Large crystals, hear low stone rumblings.
All large crystals unlock the door to the stairway. [DARK] While descending, Wreth shows up again, this time checking in with the party and asking what their intentions are. Agrees that King Wroth needs to go.
Lore dumps that males are rare, but usually tracked down and killed so they don't pose a threat. He's been hiding out looking for a chance to kill his father.
He disappears before you enter the next level.
