Caislen Campaign Notes

As the campaign began players were trapped on an a remote island with Kuo-Toa and encountered a statue representing one of their gods, with a head of a Moray Eel & body of a Sea Sponge. The statue healed them when they left important items near it. Later they'd take a small Kuo-Toa Idol which matched the look for the statue, but weighing 10LBS off a Kuo-Toa they'd fought. It'd turn out to randomly heal whomever was carrying it for 1d8 hit points. But after a few healings it grew physically a little and went up to 15LBS.

A few game sessions later, Jules, forgetting she was even carrying the thing around as junk, was getting randomly healed by it without realizing until it gained weight yet again and grow a bit, to 20LBS¹⁾.

Moving along²⁾, there was a battle (off screen so to speak) between a half-orc intruder at the Mirror House & Sunny while no one else as around. The half-orc was probably looking for the Shovel Of Alden but instead found the owlbear. Whatever ensued resulted in the Kuo-Toa Idol doing a lot of healing, turning it into a full fledged 500LBS statue and producing a new 5LBS idol as the cycle continues. It may possibly have asserted some influence on the survivor of the combat, Sunny. This is making the Mirror House location very Kuo-Tua diety affiliated thus far.

This idol remained behind, along with the full sized statue that was the first idol, inside of the Mirror House, when Jules, Eyrun, Urist & Alimir left the Goldvale area.

While The Party continued their adventures over in The Mistwood they spotted another identical idol to the original 5lbs first idol laying in a small pool of water along side the road. It was picked up by Urist Saltbeard and carried for merely a day. During this time it healed him a little, but had another unexpected impact. It was quickly removed from his possession by Jules and left in a dungeon to detach it from The Party.

• Healed just like the first couple of idols.
• When an outside party went to heal Urist, it blocked their healing magic. Perhaps to create dependency on the Kuo-Toa Idol. This was a new behavior.

Finding such an idol in this region of the campaign setting is logical because The Mistwood is to the south of Mythburg, a port city, where any number of sea affiliated things could arrive.

This leads to the inevitable question however of if there are more than 1 idol at a time, as the prior one turns into a statue each time, then just how are multiple idols being created and spread? A question perhaps best asked at a later time if the campaign starts traveling the seas.
