Arc 2: The Grotto

The time had arrived to face The Architect, an undead aboleth under the thrall of a Victor Duskwhisperer, equipped with the orders to slay the intruders as well as the hatred for being denied a final chance to escape their necromantic prison. Intent on bringing down the group, the party acted decisively and efficiently, bringing down the abomination once and for all. A celebration short-lived however, as the warning tremors previously felt turned into several powerful earthquakes with the goal of bringing down The Garden with everything in it. The party wastes no time in finding an exit, discovering a tunnel that led away from the epicenter(s) and down into a dead-end that housed former necromites in training, and running into a few stragglers that also were trying to find their way out. After successfully capturing and questioning one of the necromites, the group decided to go cave diving in an attempt to reach the side of The Garden not yet traveled, ultimately realizing that it is no longer accessible.
