Sanity Damage - D&D Actual Play

Nagish and Jack continue their sojourn through the stars as Nagish seeks to escape Azathoth’s reach. When ambushed by interstellar mind flayers, the unlikely duo confront an unforeseen turn of events.

Jack and Nagish float through the Astral Sea, and as they talk philosophy, Nagish reveals secrets regarding the multiverse’s entire existence.

As the party continues to explore the lair, they find that they have descended into caverns beneath the waves. They finally come face to face with Rayalan…

The party descends into an old cistern and explores the Collective’s tremendous network of caves beneath Cliffsbay, fighting off many horrific creatures as they search for Rayalan himself.

Rayalan, exposed as a traitor and a mind flayer, briefly skirmishes with Torr and Penelope before determining that they are beneath his concern. After retreating, Penelope and Torr strategize with their friends in the Lion’s Den and decide to pursue Rayalan into his lair, knowing that they are descending into a deadly lair.

Isak and Sapphire invite the party to strategize with them and debate the next plan of attack. Their plans are interrupted by two unexpected delegations, and Penelope makes a discovery that has drastic implications.

As Cephalossk himself attacks the party, along with hordes of minions, Zachariah and his undead horde refuse to budge. As the dust settles, we see for whom the bell tolls…

The party’s brazen takeover of the Fungal Crags has not gone unnoticed. They double down and prepare to defend their newly gained territory against the mind flayers, who launch a massive counteroffensive.
