Major Plot Points
- A team from the Welmet station made up of several of the Homeshard Heroes, Solara, and three Empire of Blossoms soldiers investigate a new moon orbitting the Wellmet.
- Several Homeshard Heroes met to compare notes at the Juice Bar. Gutboy confirmed that an altar to Graea had been brought to the station. In addition, the altar charms anyone speaking to Graea through it. Gutboy also confirmed Celica had been brought to the station. Lith used her Lore-Axe on Celica and discovered some interesting information, including that she was one of the original Wellmet Heroes.
- They were joined by Solana, who asked everyone to trust each other and share any hidden secrets they may know. Caiel and Lith shared a look, but said nothing.
- The next morning all were awoken with alarms, running footsteps, and an announcement from The Lady for all Homeshard Heroes to gather Topside. On arrival, they all saw a massive moon caught in the Wellmet's orbit. Unlike other shards, this moon was spherical and white, with a cratered surface.
- Teams were sent to explore the moon, including a team made up of our six heroes, Solara, and three Empire of Blossoms soldiers.
- Our heroes were given suits with helmets to protect from the cold and thin air, then sent to the far, dark side of the moon.
- They may their way to the bottom of a crater. Slate picked up a rock, which turned out to be a hermit crab like creature. Suddenly there were a LOT of hermit crab rocks everywhere. Lith's speak with animals revealed they all were calling for food. She tossed some rations their way, distracting them long enough for everyone to enter the cavern.
- Slate's keen hearing and Gutboy's tremorsense detected rumbling in the walls.
- Spooder Lith and one of the Empire of Blossoms soldiers scout out a light ahead, discovering a cavern full of dark mantles. They returned to the party and warned them of the danger. Caiel killed three at once with a Hunger of Hadar, while the rest were quickly dispatched by the party with no help from the Empire's soldiers.
- They continue to explore, ending up in a narrow tunnel leading to another cavern. A giant worm burst through the wall, carrying away one of the Empire soldiers before everyone made it to the next cavern.
- The party found themselves trapped in the final cavern. Lith and Caiel sent their familiars down the tunnels; both were eaten by worms. Quickly. So were the remaining two Empire soldiers. One tunnel ahead was a dead end, while a heart-like thumping was heard in the other.
- Solara failed to reach The Lady via runestone. Slate cleverly touched the runestone and extended his other arm holding a 10-ft metal rod for better reception, and it worked! The Lady told the party that the cavern ahead had a voidspan gate connecting to the Wellmet, and the worms could be drawn out of the walls by noise.
- Caiel Eldritch blasted the walls, drawing out the worms - large leech-like acid-spitting worms that also can heal themselves by biting you! Battle ensued in which the Gutboy, Slate and Val dealt tons of damage, Roe clockworked their strikes, Caiel hexed everything, and Lith did some healing.
- Victorious, the party rushed to the last chamber. There they saw an enormous dragon-like embryo forming the core of the moon and being fed by the leech worms. They rush through the gate to the Wellmet.
