Dream Temple

Type: Magical Realm (Dream/Vision Location) Region: Unknown (Supernatural Plane) Status: RESOLVED (Vision Escaped Session 30) Tags: #location/magical #location/mysterious

Description

Vast supernatural temple accessible only through shared dreams/visions, not physical travel. Multi-chambered realm beginning at mountainside ledge over endless chasm, progressing through Hall of Mirrors, Gardens Chamber, Hall of Statues, The Depths labyrinth, and Central Chamber. Each chamber contains puzzle or trial requiring problem-solving to advance. Party successfully escaped Session 30 after defeating Khorrak the Horned Dread and solving dragon's forgiveness riddle in Central Chamber. Connection to Bane Watchers abilities or other supernatural forces unclear - purpose appears to be testing truth, courage, memory, passage, and forgiveness.

Session 30 - 28 September 2025 - Party's final session in temple. Combat with Khorrak the Horned Dread commenced immediately. Lady Odonia of Galantri crushed under falling debris when Khorrak crashed through wall, unconscious carrying 2 gems and glowing orb beacon. Two-phase battle: Phase 1 ended with Ser Tessell Highfrost's Guiding Bolt (18 radiant), Khorrak resurrected in eerie green glow with enraged state targeting Ser Tessell Highfrost. Phase 2 saw Khorrak use Legendary Action teleportation, deal critical hit reducing ToooAh to 0 HP, get restrained by Elvva Beltavar's Earthen Grasp, finally killed by Elik'r Stormswallow's Fire Bolt (14 fire). Body disintegrated into green ooze that mysteriously disappeared and seeped under rock transforming Lady Odonia of Galantri (granting Warg ability, body whisped away in green smoke). Party lifted debris but Odonia's transformation meant loss of 2 gems and orb. Collected seventh gem from final visited chamber (bottom left), navigated maze to Central Chamber with 6 remaining gems. Placed 4 gems in dragon talons, statue animated opening wings and speaking riddle in each person's native language: "What is it that cannot be obtained through mere strength but requires the shedding of something more precious?" Warning: "I'm weary, answer only once, or be doomed forever." Party answered "Forgiveness," dragon responded "Show me." Elvva Beltavar demonstrated genuine forgiveness to Elik'r Stormswallow for failing to save her Session 22: "I forgive you for killing me that one time. It's not your fault anymore. I no longer blame you for my death." Dragon judged authenticity, eye glowed progressively brighter blue, shed single tear landing in Elvva Beltavar's hand forming Dragon's Tear gem. Walls dissolved, vision ended. All party members woke in physical bodies: four at Stormhold Keep, Elvva Beltavar in Belendar. All dragon chamber gems disappeared except Dragon's Tear (only item from vision that persisted). Party levelled to 6.
