Coalmont Falls and !Asmoorade! Prison

Summary

Coalmont Falls is a mining town where black water from a waterfall led the party toward an underwater prison or facility associated with !Asmoorade!, Anthrosite, Nelkish, Envi, purple-cored automatons, and Garadul recall protocol.

Known Details

  • Coalmont Falls is a brown-green mining town with steam-powered mine carts; the waterfall turns black.
  • Hanner said the black water had occurred for about one thousand years, once monthly but now twice daily, following a pattern of elemental schools of magic.
  • Morgana sensed a large black six-armed creature shackled under the water, with chains leading into alien material and an obsidian archway.
  • The underwater chamber had a twenty-foot statue with five runes in a pentagram and the name !Asmoorade!.
  • A barrier trapped Morgana until she found a freshly cut stone corridor, ticking-rune door, giant black four-armed geyser figure, and revival chamber.
  • Nelkish announced the Domain of Anthrosite, said he worked for Infestus, recognized Eliana as pure blood, and said Geldrin’s wizard robes were part of an agreement.
  • Envi in a tube of viscous fluid was released; an automaton introduced himself as Garadul, activated recall protocol, and removed the automatons.

Open Questions

  • Why has the black water frequency increased?
  • What happened after Envi, the rings-seeking figure, purple-cored automatons, and Garadul disappeared?
