Last session after spending 5 days training in the House in order to level up, your characters returned to the Elemental Plane of Water to investigate the colossal construct attached to the ice pocket, and encountered some Cephilid miners who introduced you to your long lost friend Capgras Zagrum Thoon who explained in great detail why the Tear of Ioun was stolen to prevent an ill thought planar invasion of the Far Realm while you assisted it, and its Cephilid friends in beginning to repair the Neogi Mindspider that the Cephilids had been using as a mining platform. The Mindspider was attacked by tinker gnomes in diving suits attempting to raid the construct for parts, Jubilex ooze cultists seeking sacrificial victims, and devoted followers of Ioun who attempted to steal the Tear of Ioun from your friend Capgras Zagrum. Not wanting to jepordize your agreement with the Iounite Deirde-Speaks-Her-Mind by injuring her associates, Zagrum offered you substantial treasure to sway you and your family into defending Zagrum's prize, the Tear. Also it struck you that if these Ioun worshipers recover the Tear then you would be unable to return it to Deirdre. You agreed to aid Zagrum, but thought it prudent not to inflict mortal injury on these Iounites. Zagrum and the lead cleric found themselves locked in mortal combat. When the Illithid got the upper hand, err tentacle. The cleric revealed to have a ring of wishes, with only one wish left, and invoked the Marid trapped inside to grant "[his] wish that all those in battle would be rendered immune to the mindflayer's mind control." You suddenly felt strangely disturbed recent events.
