Session 40

The Djinn (June 5, 2020)

The party solved the puzzles in each of the four towers, which opened a portal to Allistair the Third’s Vault. Inside the Vault, amid the piles of riches, the crew finally acquired the Djinn’s lamp! Mr. Burroughs wished for “Absolution for the Black Marauder”, Lady Yen wished for “True Resurrection for the merfolk, Amelia”, and Balor wished for “[His] loved ones to be restored to a living state.” As a result of the third wish, Altair was brought back to life (as was Balor’s family), and Ignatius was cured of his tonic dependence. The party gathered their riches, and went their separate ways via a teleportation circle. Tryx travelled to Naldum to eventually rebuild the city; Balor and Altair travelled back to Anchorage to be reunited with the Cartiers, and to open a moustache shop, respectively; and Ignatius travelled to New Haven Harbour to find that the wish had not healed Ainlsey. Ignatius would eventually return to his tonic and seek out the Keeper to make another deal, though he never learned that Ainsley’s soul was contained in his wand, Lorelei.

In an epilogue, Mr. Burroughs was revealed to be the Black Marauder.
