Numenera Jade Colossus 2025-10-12

  • we shrink down to the size of the people inside the cube
  • we have to use 2 different cyphers to communicate with them
  • we ask about the location of "The Sleeper"
  • they show us the image of a woman made of yellow synth wandering the hallways
  • another woman is contained in a field under some rubble
  • the yellow woman has been there for 20 years while the Sleeper has been there for 40 years
  • we ask about Cherry Piee in the Haunted Hall. Apparently their records show that she left the colossus 3 years ago
  • They tell us about another group of ones like them in the Red Labyrinth who have turned evil due to outside influence to lure adventures deeper into the colossus
  • we climb aboard the bus and heads to "The Sleeper"

About halfway along the route, nestled in the mouth of a collapsed shaft, a cube of soft translucent gel holds what looks like a woman. She has glowing silver hair and three eyes, and she appears to be resting peacefully.

  • k'Mort is able to manipulate gravity to remove some of the stones off of her
  • we see that the lower part of her body has been crushed and is maybe being kept alive by the protective gel
  • as we debate what to do with The Sleeper we see that moving the stones reveal a path going towards what looks like a football field sized graveyard
  • We stuff The Sleeper into the cargo hold then head to the graveyard
  • At the head of the graveyard is a 14ft tall gold statue with 4 arms holding floating disks
  • Carl hovers and flys towards the statue to scan it
  • Carl tries to phase into it but is immediately burned
  • Carl tries to throw a stone into the cemetery but the statue shoots a laser beam at it and it explodes
