Grandfather

Location
The High Enclave, High Enclave College

Summary
The Party enter The High Enclave, Cryllos in disguise. They hear that people whose powers are plant-based started going missing. They look at a directory, which shows that Cryllos' family's business was moved. Oleander joins in. The party decides to investigate the local college. They hear about the "fun" (occult) club by two students, who are both interested in Alastor. They say a caged animal was taken into the club building. The party goes into the building, where they find a secret passage. Through it, they find the light occult club, who directs them deeper down the building. After failing to hide and negotiate, the party is walked into a room where a deer guardian is sacrificed and the Grandfather watches from above. The deer, upon decapitation, turns its vines into a golem, which kills all of the cultists. The Grandfather's neck is snapped. Oleander tries to sap its life out, which results them to enter a dream like state, where they see a tree with amber, which have bees inside, and a woman. They wake up, and the guardian bows at them and runs away. The party finds a file report, which says that the Grandfather was a receiving subject of the Blood Lily Experiments, making him theoretically immortal. They also find a page of the experiment's patrons, including; Demask, Lyu'Sa, and Swallowtail. The party quickly flees from the scene.

Misc.

 * Oleander's lateness is due to a rat seminar they attended. They received one rat.
 * Cryllos' disguise, made by the DM, was of a man in a suit with pink, punk-esque hair with brown tips and snake tattoos.
