Felgolos#

Encounters#

Post-Umnos#

left to retrieve the egg (they had enough on their hands), sent a message.
now it's harder for him to send further (found the place, door to shadowfell),
can't return, scoping out the place, trying to send messages every now and then.
he has a divination blocker (a ring casting mindblank?)

He got to velddrinnsshar, under-cover as a cleric of kiaransalee.
Found the egg, but needed an opportunity to steal it.
Too many powerful creatures there, and it's used as a focus point for kiaransalee.
Capture would be terrible for him.

Too long have passed at this point, he tried to get it alone, failing to message the party, and got trapped. He's now being force turned into a dracolich for the summoning of Kiaransalee.

Sending at this point is returned by Irae (who doesn't know where they are)
- She might just use it to listen in...
- "Nice of you to check in. Felgolos is fine, a little tired perhaps."
- "so you continue your tour of destruction in the shadowfell. i shall keep my eyes out."

Velddrinnsshar state#

Chained underneath the center of that tower.
Caught. Chained. Converted to a dracolich, but still in a dormant state.
He could be saved, but it would require a pretty powerful lich reversal setup.
The soul is heavily guarded, prismatic wall, alarmed (top of area). If they try, then fight breaks out with Irae and Arklem.
If such a battle goes super-south, felgolos can potentially aid them with his last sliver of his remaining goodness (completing the dracolich transformation).
If Irae is about to go down, she will escape to the summoning chamber using Time Stop (and will try to bring Felgolos' soul if ready, otherwise she'll sacrifice herself)
If he is not saved in time, he'll be there to defend earlier, and his soul will be used immediately to insert into summoning ritual.

Lore: if they scry on people having conversations they can mention that he's almost there. He seems to be clinging to his former life longer than expected, but it won't be long. A day at most.

Scrying was possible from same plane of existence. Irae intercepts sending.
Imprisonment Scene skipped, as was slow conversion. They spent too much time.

Post-Kiasansalee#

His phylactery was not used for the summoning (rejected, not unified enough).
Technically, he will re-forge into a dracolich body again in SOME TIME.
Maybe they can use their bone collection...

Gilgrin Start Place#

Rests in the middle of the lava pit, covers large sprawling surface, tail, in the lava / across closed lava acqueduct.

Felgolos: Massive glossy curved wall of metal. The color is kind of a dull red, yellowy.
Tactics: Will just sleep ray everyone in combat. Place isn't big enough for him to fly.

Wants: Freedom now. He voluntarily sacrificed himself to be a guardian of the place, he's engineered many of the setups, and lets giants in, until recently. He has not heard from his eggs in ages, and his lair is now his tomb.

Sacrifice deal: Oversee his offspring and spread them far and wide, and get them into different societies across the continent (5 succeeded, 3 five years ago unknown) He will rest in the cozy lair herein, with access to all knowledge requested, a forge for experimentation (enjoys this)

Eggs: last remaining one transformed ia passage in gilgrin beneath one tower (guarded by fire giants, occasionally an assistant mage (just in it for the money) is coating an egg (in volcanic rock, hardening in lava). Eggs are harnessed for their magical potential and are used as the crystal orbs.
Layout: Small lab in a purple worm lair. Desk. Pulley with diamond tether lowers it into lava periodically when it flashes.

Felgolos Intro:#

Deep mercer voice. Authoritarian leader type, not very monstery.
Eyes start glowing white, steam starts to flow from them.

"This? This is what you send? WHERE ARE THEY?"
"What have you DONE to them?"

"State. Your business."

appeasing -> steam fades, eyes stop glowing white, and you now see his normal, but still gargantuan reptilian eyes looking at you. small smile forming at mouth?

bailing -> polymorph follow them: "you think i am bound by this chamber?"

"tell me, have you seen my children?" - chult (Baratathlaer), zemnia (Ilnezhara), netherese (Pocyr) - 3 unnamed ones from last batch

History: roamed the world in his 100s, saw the rise and fall of Kiaransalee.
Attended funeral of Akkhan. Knows 3 others disappeared and performed a sacrifice.

"find my children, they should have hatched by now"
"well, neither zoltan nor umnos have not answered my requests as of late" (persuasion)

more tricksy voice in polymorphed humanoid form (faceless one style, yellow robe, white mask) [uses name el-golo]

Items#

Shario's Bracers of Evocation (Boosts Evocation Spells, extra dmg dice to all spells of level > 0)
Ring of Comdemnation (Can cast Comdemn 30ft radius con save vs 8d8 radiant dmg as an action once per day)

Kept here his entire life. Knows a lot of magic, he can help activate magic weapons, if they can smuggle him out with the last egg.
He cannot leave this place unless they destroy the binding magic set up in the library in lower left.

Forge skills#

Can use Annam's Anvil in Gilgrin vault, and can imbue base weapons with fire (for the plus one extra boost up to plus 3), and can polymorph into things. Wants to disguise as a yellow robed wanderer with the faceless white mask.

Kiaransalee Lore#

He is old enough to know about the first rise of Kiaransalee. Knows that she fell in Aruanoch in a mutual clash with Sunwuko and the sunset-warriors champions Shario + Akkhan + Sunwuko + Natalya 700 years ago. He has Shario's bracers + Akkhan's ring. Some of Sharia's loot is in Halos.

Books tell about societies fallen; in the east to the undead. All communication gone. The whole society corrupted. The empire of the netherese was wiped out due to the corruption of their citizens, not by greedy magicians.

Sunwuko a master monk ruled the City of Shade. They had developed a completely different style of fighting to combat the stun-proof elites of the undead; fast shooting weaponry (auto-reload crossbows).

Tells of the fighting style of Kiaransalee; magically imbued scythe. Could not be charmed, could not be stunned, and could not be transformed in any way. Attacks out of nothing (invis), and when angry.

Kiaransalee lost all her power when the hordes of her followers died in this clash (Helm Rift above the acropolis). Though the last remaining champion, Shario, distributed parts of her relics to various magocracies on the coast. The Eternal Star, a diamond which in its natural form was half a meter in diameter, the pommel of her scythe. The scythe of shadow was taken to Waterdeep.

The scythe is the final part of Kiaransalee's relics in Waterdeep. The handle was in Gilgrin, the pommel in the Luskan. But she still has to use the daemon lords to break Waterdeep to get the scythe.

Rejected Future#

He needs to be gone for a while. Maybe send a message to the players about conflicts of divinity, chapter 5
he sacrificed himself to add a vulnerability to the egg; someone of a particular persuasion have to be raised by Irae and it will corrupt the egg
someone has to turn Felgolos into a god
perditional contradoxy style

he true polymorphed into a crone but has a yellow sheen and is undercover in velddrinshar.. (although message works across planar boundaries)
captured in polymorphed form (true sight see it), convert him to undead?
