Meeting Gordon

Returning to their rooms, Fenwick uses evocation fire magic combined with the fire mutagen to jumpstart the deactivated robot. The robot awakens, having gained genuine sentience and a soul, and renames himself 'Clank', agreeing to join the party. Shortly after, Fenwick tracks the cultists' residual magic to a hidden sewer grate. The party navigates the sewers, bribing a Wererat guard, and breaches a hidden laboratory. Inside, they discover a Mind Flayer operating a magical Wi-Fi repeater gem, controlling a young boy to run its experiments. A brutal fight ensues; the Mind Flayer uses Mind Blast to instantly drop Fari to 0 HP, but Vadis lands a massive critical hit, forcing the severely wounded Ilithid to Plane Shift away.
