Kilthan takes the lead and begins the search for the mind flayer's lair. The area below here is riddled with chambers, cisterns and tunnels. Definitely a good place to hide a secret base with the confusing maze it ends up being.
Eventually however, you begin to see more signs of traffic and you find a larger build up of the yellow Beggar's Gold. Around another corner the sewer tunnel has a large gash in it revealing the opening to a natural unworked stone area. The floors past this point on are difficult terrain
Patches of phosphorescent fungus light this large underground chamber, which is littered with huge swaths of bright yellow fungus and toadstools of various sizes, some as big as a human.
Map Updated
GM Blood |
You had a day to rest, recoup, and sell/purchase.
While the mold in this room looks like Beggar's Gold which is harmless, this is actually Yellow Mold, which is quite dangerous. The larger mushrooms are shrieker mushrooms, which will emit a lout piercing sound it light or movement happens near it (within 10ft, and you are barely past that at this point)
Aarakess Halcorn |
Aarakess puts up her hand:
Beware. That is not Beggar's Gold, rather it is dangerous Yellow Mold. Also, those mushrooms are called shriekers. The scream loudly if anyone proceeds within about 10 feet.
Aarakess looks to the others:
Would anyone know the best way to destroy these? The mold is the danger, the shriekers are simply an alarm. However, if we set off the alarm, then whoever put them here will know that someone has arrived.
Anyone else want to see if they can make a know(nature) or know(dungeoneering)? Otherwise I can cast Burning Hands to see if that will take them all out.
Skorhald Warsong |
Nodding at Justin, the dwarf says, "Good thinking, lad. Regardless of the danger of the mold, I can quiet down the noise with little trouble... "
Cast silence due north about 35'
know dungeon for mold: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
Aarakess Halcorn |
I can burn it pretty easy. It is a simple spell that I do not use much. Save Dryn's bombs for bigger foes when my more powerful magic is needed.
I have Burning Hands memorized twice. With a 15' cone, it should get quite a bit more than the bombs area wise even though it will do less damage.
Rohara Acharya |
I forgot, Rohara can use every skill now (Improvisation feat). She might not be the really got at some of them, but she has a chance...
Knowledge (nature)1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Knowledge (dungeoneering)1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
Rohara moves up beside the badger and looks within and after a moment of thought on the what Aarakess is talking about shrugs her shoulders and whispers, "Sorry, I have nothing. Your idea's seems reasonable, but we should move quickly once the spell... she pauses as Skorhald casts his silence spell, "... is cast.
Justin D'Rite aka Sluuth |
Justin asks Dryn to toss the alchemists fire at the yellow stuff until it is gone. They will replace it with party funds later.
When it is almost gone, Justin takes out the wand that makes him faster.

Dryn is precise in her bombing and after two throws wipes out all of the fungi. Note that it was 2 throws. The passage continues past this area.
The passage slopes down as you head north, the sound of running water can be head as well as some glimmering light farther along. The rocks start to get a little slippery when sudden there is movement above.

Kilthan Hammerstone |
Sorry, apparently it ate my last post. Sigh.
Rohara Acharya |
((GM BLood... I am looking to us my Dimensional Hop ability (Strike that, Dimension Door it would seem as Dimensional Hop requires line of sight.) and take 2 other characters with Rohara up on the ledge above, would that be possible considering that the squares of E-10, E-11, and C12 are not even full squares? I am asking if this action would work and be able to bring a couple of friends up?))
Kilthan Hammerstone |
Kilthan looks up and swears, having been raised to hate drow as only a dwarf could... then he chuckles, "Nice of them to stand close together so you can blast them, Dryn."
He calls to his furry companion and calls out in Dwarven, "Jagdbach, fury-kill." The badger snarls, beginning to froth at the mouth, and then uses his claws to race up the side of the wall and bites at one of the dark-skins.
Climb (Jagdbach): 10 + 16 = 26 Climb speed -> Can always take 10 on climbs
Bite: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14 Probably not.
Kilthan wills his skin to harden and then whispers the words to a spell, casting Feather Step to avoid being slowed by the uneven passage, then steps into the space his friend created, readying his bow to fire at the drow.
Skorhald Warsong |

Leave Skorhald behind.
Aarakess Halcorn |
Feeling the burn from the flasks, Aarakess grimaces and then a moment later opens her mouth from which stream forth thousands of buzzing wasps.
Standard: Cast Vomit Swarm -- Should cover C10, C11, D10, D11
Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) = 12
Fort DC13 or poisoned - 1 dex damage
also-Fort DC13 or nauseated
Skorhald Warsong |
Skorhald begins chanting in a now-familiar cadence, firming your resolve in light of the firey ambush.
Dark-elves fallen of the night,
fight like cowards in the light,
casting fire from on high,
now we come, your doom is night!
He then chants an incantation and feels more sure footed on the uneven ground.
Inspire confidence, cast feather step
GM Blood |
Rohara, There would be room up there for you and two more
Kilthan readies his bow as Jagdbach climbs up. The drow then go!
Everyone but Jagdback takes Fire Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1
Drow #3 and #4 fight off Jagdbach with their rapiers
Rapier attack #1 Drow #3 vs Jagdbach: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26 *Hit* Need Fort Save
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Rapier attack #2 Drow #3 vs Jagdbach: 1d20 + 12 - 5 ⇒ (8) + 12 - 5 = 15
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Rapier attack #1 Drow #4 vs Jagdbach: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

Rapier attack #2 Drow #4 vs Jagdbach: 1d20 + 12 - 5 ⇒ (15) + 12 - 5 = 22 *Hit* Need Fort Save
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
The other two drow throw tanglefoot bags at Dryn'taka and Aarakess
Ranged Touch Drow #2 vs Aarakess: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19 *Hit* Reflex Save DC 15 or be glued to the floor.
Duration: 2d4 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4 Rounds
Ranged Touch Drow #1 vs Dryn'taka: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21 *Hit* Reflex Save DC 15 or be glued to the floor.
Duration: 2d4 ⇒ (2, 3) = 5 Rounds
A creature that is glued to the floor (or unable to fly) can break free by making a DC 17 Strength check or by dealing 15 points of damage to the goo with a slashing weapon. A creature trying to scrape goo off itself, or another creature assisting, does not need to make an attack roll; hitting the goo is automatic, after which the creature that hit makes a damage roll to see how much of the goo was scraped off. Once free, the creature can move (including flying) at half speed. If the entangled creature attempts to cast a spell, it must make concentration check with a DC of 15 + the spell's level or be unable to cast the spell. The goo becomes brittle and fragile after 2d4 rounds, cracking apart and losing its effectiveness. An application of universal solvent to a stuck creature dissolves the alchemical goo immediately.
Everyone else is still in the burning oil Fire Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1
Jag, Justin and Dryn are still on fire from the alchemist fire.
Fire Damage Jag: 1d6 ⇒ 4

The buzzing swarm flies out of her mouth and engulfs most of the bad guys.
Justin D'Rite aka Sluuth |
Just making sure my damage is updated. First blast 7 + all but Jagback 1 + Justin 4 = total 12 --- 74/86
"Ouch, I know what those who make Drynn mad feel like. Time to bring the pain to dark elves!!"
Justin looks expectantly at Rohara.
Rohara Acharya |
Rohara invokes her gift of easy movement and is quickly on the move, sliding up behind Justin and Kilthan.
She calls to her fiendish friend, "Dryn! If you are going to throw anything up there, please do so now. I would rather not be hit."
She looks to the half-dwelf and sees that he is choosing to use a ranged weapon on the dark elves. The woman looks to the Palalizard and see that he is anxious and quite ready to travel magical up to the ledge. She nods to Justin and says,"Be ready my friend."
Use Agile Feet (Free Action), Move to A-10. wait for Dryn's action to throw (if she is choosing that action)
Rohara then touches Justin and casting Dimension Door. (Concentration check: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16 Success!) to E-10 for Justin and E-11 for herself.
Kilthan Hammerstone |
Concentration: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13 Whew!
Kilthan whispers, "Rohara, I've a mind to get up there too, if that's your plan.."
Justin D'Rite aka Sluuth |

Skorhald Warsong |
Skorhald moves into the square that Kilthan just disappeared from and swings the long chain of his weapon up at the drow above (C-10), while his chant continues and arcane energy crackles down the chain of the dorn-dergar.

Kilthan Hammerstone |
Wasn't sure if Rohara was taking me or not (wasps and all that) -- was waiting to be sure.
