C3 - Ep40: The Sunken Observatory
Show notes
There is one telescope left in the ruin that still works. Looking through it turns out to be a mistake.
Twenty Sides is a fast-paced, story-driven actual play Dungeons & Dragons podcast. This is Campaign 3: Crownfall, Episode 40.
They come out of the portal into ground they have never seen, black earth and burnt grass, two hundred feet from an observatory that has sunk into the ground. Something large has been climbing in and out through the torn roof, and something else has dug its own way down to the original doors. The party takes the doors. Inside, under the rubble of a collapsed hall, two things are purring in the dark, and when Quinn throws a lit stone to find out what they are, what comes out to grab it is not a paw.
Upstairs, five observation stations, three of them intact and only one still in working order. It takes two tries to get a picture. The first person to look through it sees someone they recognize standing out in the shroud, which would be fine except that she is also standing right here in the room. Then somebody else takes a turn.
