Editing Session 145 Prep

{{Session Prep/Display
| campaign = Echos of Lhynn
| session_title = The Radiation Rest and the Videric Protocol
| previous_session = [[Session 144 The Game Room and the Orange Keycard]]
| location = Level I: Secure Orange Access Room (Medical/Research Annex) and the North-Eastern Corridor.
| scene_overview = The session opens with a high-stakes '''Long Rest''' inside a secure Orange-access room. The party is currently suffering from a lethal, "sparkling" airborne toxin (Radiation). While the doors are sealed, the threat is internal: Egon must determine if he can treat the party before the poison reaches a terminal stage. Meanwhile, the '''Maintenance Droid''' and '''Robo Dame''' have departed, but the sounds of the facility's automated protocols resetting echo through the vents.
| setting_details = The room is sterile but filled with the grim remains of those who died before the collapse—skeletons with green-black ichor staining their jaws. The air is heavy with the scent of ozone and decaying fungi. Outside, the "sparkling" spores drift like radioactive snow, coating the corridors.

| key_npcs =
* '''Durmen Tredan:''' Guarding the door. Suspicious of the voice-activated terminal.
* '''Poision Egon:''' (Status: '''Poisoned/Irradiated'''). Must study the "Beauty Enhancer" paste and the nature of the spores.
* '''Nail:''' Recovering from the arm injury. Noticed the "sparkling" fungus first.
* '''Aldran:''' Handling the salvaged iPad and Pistol parts. Wary of the guard-summoning device.

| combatants =
=== Prototype Warforged "Sentry" (Reactivated) ===
''Medium construct, AC 17, HP 65, Multiattack, Slam, Integrated Crossbow.''
* '''Status:''' Triggered by the "Guard Summon" device if the party mismanages the Orange Room terminal.
* '''Focus:''' These are early models—less refined than modern Warforged, following "Videric Protocol" to lethal extremes.

| player_goals = Survive the '''Lethal Radiation''' through Medicine/Nature checks; Decrypt the '''iPad''' files; Repair the salvaged '''Pistol'''.
| hooks = '''The Unredacted Truth:''' The iPad contains logs from the 14th year of Project Sentience, hinting that "Unwavering Resolve" was actually harvested souls.
| key_events = '''The Long Rest DC:''' Egon must succeed on a DC 18 Medicine/Nature check to stabilize the party's radiation sickness. '''Testing the Paste:''' Using the "Beauty Enhancer" reveals its true purpose: a lead-based radiation sealant.
| planned_events = The iPad flickers to life, displaying a "Subject ID" similar to the one found in the medical bay. If the terminal is used, a cold voice asks for "Authorization from Emperor Videric."
| clues_info = [[#Medical Report: Subject L. Brightshore|See iPad Log: Subject L. Brightshore]]
| treasure_rewards = Orange ID Card; Salvaged Imperial Pistol (if repaired); Historical data.
| interludes = A flashback triggered by radiation, showing the facility at its peak during the 258 IE "Year of Iron."
| potential_conflicts = The Maintenance Droid returns to "clean" the room; Radiation-induced hallucinations for Egon.
| story_arcs_themes = The Ghost in the Machine; The Price of Progress; Legacy of the Empire.
| cliffhanger = The terminal speaks: "Subject L. BRIGHTSHORE detected in vicinity. Commencing Retrieval Protocol."
