"I want to use a fireball. You can be happy I'm waiting for some actual enemy to try it out." Abomentolor replies. "But don't worry. It can't be that long until I'm able to throw around fireballs all day."
As everyone is ready the troupe starts walking out of the house out of the manor grounds and then down to Underbridge. The way leads down into the sewers again but then it gets a bit complicated. From the other side the secret door connecting the way from the Crow to the city sewer is obvious but from this side it is not.
Tauriell tries to remember where exactly the door was and searches the walls.
"Ah, my memory hasn't failed me. Here it is." she says opening the door and holding it open for the others to enter.
So they proceed through the secret sewer until they reach the crossing again where a way from north to south and one from west to east lead over the sewage.
The group comes from the east.
"Welcome back to the dangerous crossing. Why should we be careful here? And where should we walk and where not?" Tauriell asks.
"Throw me! I will try out." Niamh jumps in front of Tauriell up and down.
Tauriell knocks an arrow and turns to Gwenwyfar. "Gwen, would you please throw Niamh over the crossing. I'm going to shoot everything that sticks out it's head."
"As you two wish." Gwenhwyfar replies and grabs Niamh at her collar and her waistband. Taking two steps run-up she throws Niamh over the crossing.
As Niamh lands on the western half of the crossing a cave mooray lunges out of the pipe and tries to bite Niamh.
Tauiell lets the arrow fly as the beast shows it's head
Niamh lands perfect balanced on her feet and turns around to the thing.
The arrow hits the mooray hard. But doesn't hinder it to bite.
Abomentolor steps forward and shoots a ray of fire at the beast.
Abomentolor burns the mooray but also lures the other mooray out that bites him.
"Ow, ow, ow." Niamh starts playing her violin to encourage everyone to help her a bit faster.
Inspired this way Tauriell shoots two arrows at the mooray
The first mooray struggles on the ground and dies.
Abomentolor turns around and douses the mooray that dared to bite him in flames. "Take that you miserable sewer delving creature."
The remaining mooray tries to duck the fire and then bites Abomentolor again.
"Hey. Stop that. Tauriell, kill that thing. It's trying to eat me!" Abomentolor shouts.
Gwenhwyfar gives a ward to Abomentolor.
Tauriell tries to oblige to Abomentolor's request.
The second mooray drops dead to the ground. Now this crossing is safe.
Niamh stops the playing and smiles to the others. "Are you coming over now?"
"Would someone please patch me up?" Abomentolor asks.
"I'll heal you."
Gwenhwyfar casts cure light wounds.
Twice.
"I totally forgot to put on my mage armor." Abomentolor says and takes out the wand casting it on himself.
"By the way. I could need some healing too." Niamh suggests.
"I'll better take one too. Would you cast me one from the wand please?" Gwenhwyfar asks.
"Yes." Abomentolor replies ticking Gwenhwyfar with the wand.
"Thank you." Gwenhwyfar moves on to Niamh and heals her too with her heal hex.
"Great. We're wasting our resources on some sewer fish. Let's move on and find the boss fight." Tauriell says and leads the group on to the large room where they encountered the derros the last time.
Blue, glowing fungus grows in numerous patches across the walls of this large chamber. To the east, a shadowy balcony overlooks the room at a height of ten feet, while in the center of the room a wide spiral stairwell descends into the darkness. A second flight of stairs descends along the western wall.
Also there are the doors with the already known rooms in the south and west. As well as the door to the north that wasn't opened by the group yet.
Tauriell walks to the northern door and gestures Abomentolor to ready himself at the door. As he is in position she opens the door and looks in with her blade in the other hand. "Hello anyone at home?"
This twenty-foot-square domed chamber contains a juryrigged pair of low operating tables, complete with leather straps at both ends to hold the patients down.
Also there is a creature. A hideous patchwork made of equal parts troglodyte, duergar, giant spider, and giant rat, but with the lolling head of a half-shaved dwarf bearing a gaping trepanation to the side of its skull.
"You're so ugly you're not allowed to live in that world." Abomentolor says before he moves to the thing and attacks it with a burning grasp.
The creature seems completely unaffected by Abomentolor's courageous attack. No burning is caused by the fire.
"What? Is this another of these evil devils with immunity agains fire?" Abomentolor screams.
He decides to leave this thing to someone else.
Tauriell decides to try how her blade works on that thing.
Gwenhwyfar decides to give the ward to Tauriell. She moves behind her and applies it with a touch to her back.
The creature tries to slam Tauriell.
But with her new armor and the ward no harm comes to her.
Once again Tauriell slashes at the creature.
Tauriell cuts the creature in half and ends this fight.
Tauriell takes a look at the thing and searches her memory if she saw such a thing once.
"That is a carrion golem. I guess you made this fight much easier with your fire attack."
"Yay for me and my fire. But why?" Abomentolor asks. "It didn't burn even the slightest bit."
"Fire slows that thing down. If you had not burnt it I would probably look much worse now."
"But let's see what can be found here in this room." Tauriell suggests.
The only thing of some worth in this room are the surgical tools. Which could use some cleaning first.
Tauriell holds up one of these filthy tools. "Does someone want these?"
"I really like magical healing more than cutting up people." Gwenhwyfar replies.
