The party successfully opens the mysterious vault in the underground scientific bunker, discovering a suspended gnome named Olad Freeye and a treasure trove of powerful artifacts.

Echo forms a dangerous pact with an ancient entity inhabiting Primal Gauntlets (Primal Vestige), while Octavia accidentally activates a magical orb that transports herself and young Arlen to Sellúne's divine realm of Sellúne.

Though Octavia narrowly escapes death, Arlen chooses to remain in paradise, leaving the party to deal with the consequences of their discoveries.

Due to Recoding issues we did a recap of what happened.

The players summarize their discoveries in an underground scientific bunker, including encounters with Lazarus (the original Destiny's Hand leader), finding Nicholas Cogsworth's watch, solving vault puzzles, and Grico's adoption of an orc child named Arlin.

The session covers the party's exploration of laboratories, potion-making experiments, database searches, and the discovery of a suspended humanoid in a glass cylinder.

The party completes their preparations at Charlotte's library, learning about the five elemental orbs needed to access the Altar of Creation. After crafting armor for their mounts and gathering supplies, they set out to find the first orb at an Elemental Water Temple. Their journey leads them into a massive sphere of swirling water where they encounter sentient mushroom guardians protecting an ancient Elemental Water Temple.

Through careful negotiation and divine intervention, they successfully retrieve the elemental water orb, but at great cost when the Elemental Water Temple's collapse nearly claims Grico's life. The session ends with the party having secured one of the five orbs needed for their quest, along with 23 rescued mushroom guardians who now serve as protectors of their ship.
