Vivienne slithers up next to her master, as Serpentfang casts Magic Missile and targets two at each enemy. Vivienne to my side! MM Damage Blue:2d4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3, 1) + 2 + 1 = 7 MM Damage Red:2d4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1, 4) + 2 + 1 = 8
Recognizing the danger as it presents itself, Xiao wastes no time inspiring his allies.
Althea steps back behind her companion for cover and fires a bolt at the man. Concerned about hitting her friend though, she aims high and sends it sailing into the ceiling.
Unipressed, Quinn prepares for the fight as Sepentfang sends a pair of magical darts sailing into both enemies. His dutiful companion rushes to his side.
Thoril quickly grows to new heights and nearly severs an arm from one of your quarry.
"OUCH! Gotta take the big guy down first!" shrieks Pellius.
Stepping forward, both whack Thoril on either side of his head with their staffs. "YEAH! Take that beast!" cheers the woman.
=Desecrating a Shrine! Round 2= **I.C. +1 Attack/Damage/Saves vs Fear
"This bubbling green liquid causes eyes to sprout all over the imbiber’s body." EWWWWW
Althea moves up behind Thoril, getting to where she can strike in melee next turn, and fires her crossbow again at the same target. Blue target, No sneak attack, unfortunately. Light Crossbow:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16 damage:1d8 ⇒ 8Woot!
Again with a grin Serpentfang flicks his hand forward and 4 green missiles fly through the air at his targets.
MM vs Blue:2d4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4, 2) + 2 + 1 = 9 MM vs Red:2d4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1, 4) + 2 + 1 = 8
Drinking a strange liquid a multitude of eyes pop up all over Quinn's body! He sees everyone and everything...his back blinks at his companions?!
Althea pops off another shot, this time the bolt flies true and buries itself in the shoulder of the one called Pellius. With a grunt, the foe collapses to the ground.
Two more translucent darts sail out form Serpeantfangs hands and strike the remaining foe. She, however, manages to sidestep the massive lizards blade.
BOT: Xiao continues to encourage his companions efforts with a rousing cheer.
Glancing towards her fallen comrade, the woman's eyes seem to go red. "You'll pay for that!" she shrieks, whacking the big creature on the snout. Carefully stepping away from the wall, vengeance fills her mind.
=Desecrating a Shrine! Round 3= **I.C. +1 Attack/Damage/Saves vs Fear
Now that there is space for her, Althea will carefully make her way to the far side of the remaining foe, switching out her crossbow for her rapier as she moves.
Sorry all I’ve been kinda consumed with this United States election, and haven’t been checking this game, I apologize for slowing us down.
Serpentfang and his trusty python move up to support Thoril. Serpentfang draws his wand and prepares to use it on Thoril.
Althea thrusts her blade forward, but fails to pierce her opponents armor.
Moments later, Xiao casts a spell leaving the woman staring blankly as Thoril skillfully removes her head from her shoulders and then splits her in half!
Combat Over - Out of Initiative Thoril: (-21)
Search the bodies?:
You find 1 potion, 1 tanglefoot bag, 4 daggers, 2 chain shirt, and 2 finely crafted Quarterstaffs.
Spellcraft DC 18 for Staffs
Spoiler:
Both are +1 Quarterstaff (sized for medium creatures)
Althea and Xiao see a lean little bat-eared horror displaying a mouth full of needle-like teeth and glowing, orange eyes leap from behind the statue and up into the sewer pipe. Glancing back with a maniacle grin, it takes out out of view.
K Nature DC 11:
This is a Jinkin (Gremlin, Tiny Fey)
For every 5 you beat the DC, you are welcome to ask a question
So we follow the Gremlin yes? I know I can fit no problem you big people though...I have a wand that can help you get through if you want? It only last for a minute though so we must be fast!DM I’m going to cast Mage Armor on myself and my Snake, then I’ll be standing by to cast Reduce person on everyone who wants it before crawling in the pipe.
Tinker: A group of six jinkins working together over the course of an hour can create an effect identical to bestow curse on any living creature. This has a range of 60 feet, and the target creature must be either willing or helpless (but still gets a saving throw to resist). Alternatively, the group of jinkins can attempt to infuse a magic item with a curse. The nature of this curse is determined randomly; half of these curses make the magic item unreliable (each time the item is used, there is a 20% chance it does not function), while the other half give the item a random requirement. A jinkin can take part in a tinkering only once per day, and may only tinker with a creature or object that isn’t already cursed. Once a tinkering curse is in place, it is permanent until removed via an effect like remove curse. All jinkin tinkerings function as a curse created by a 6th-level caster.
_____
They also have the ability to do sneak attack damage
Xiao:
They have DR 5/cold iron
After taking a moment to tend to your wounded and inspect the equipment left behind, you proceed to enter the small tube. Though it is quite a tight fit, all but the lovely Vivienne are able to make it without magical aid. A quick touch of her companion's wand and she squeezes through.
Upon arriving on the far side, there is no sign of the tiny beast. Cautiously making your way down the tunnel, you turn left...and left again. Stopping you find...
Fallen rubble from an earlier excavation clogs the channel, slowing the water flow and accumulating a mass of sewage on one side. A thick carpet of moss and fungus—clearly representing a wide variety of green, blue, and ochre-colored specimens—sprawls across the top of the debris and hangs from the ceiling, with several larger mounds of fungus clinging to the walls or stemming from the hole to the east. Wispy blue tendrils descend from the ceiling and almost touch the water, creating a thin, eerie curtain of plant matter.
Outlined the area in green on the map
Knowledge Nature DC 17:
The fungus growing out of the ceiling and walls is Azure Fungus. It's a potentially dangerous plant that is sensitive to touch and builds up electricity. This electrical charge is prone to exploding out of the plant when it feels threatened. It is immune to electricity and fire.
This is a specific knowledge set. If you beat the DC by 5 or more I have one more bit of information to share

“Oh wow! Guys be careful! The fungus growing out of the ceiling and walls is Azure Fungus. It's a potentially dangerous plant that is sensitive to touch and builds up electricity. This electrical charge is prone to exploding out of the plant when it feels threatened. It is immune to electricity and fire!“ Xiao warns again.
"Hmm. So as long as the fungus doesn't feel threatened, we should be okay gently moving it out of the way?" Althea looks worried and confused how to proceed.

Looking at Thoril's biceps, Quinn has an idea. He slips a vial of some strange, speckled liquid from his pack. "Hey big guy, drink this. It'll make you fly like a really big bird, and then you can ferry us all over without crushing the fungus. Hopefully if we don't step on it, it won't zap us."
Seeing the mass of fungi not reacting to his speech, Serp will pull out some rope, tie himself to Vivienne, pull his wand of CLW out and have his companion climb the wall looking for the exit.
Perception:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Greetings, we’ve been sent down here in these sewers to find a vault of treasure left by an old friend. It would seem that your garden just happens to be where our exit is. All we want is safe passage, you have my word as a fey blood.[/b]
Diplomacy:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26 Everyone stand by I think I’ve made a new friend, he might let us by...
Serp turns back to the group with a smile and points to the mushroom man coming from the fungal mass.
"التي تبدو عادلة. شكرا لك على السؤال بدلا من مجرد محاولة تدمير بستانى هنا.
يمكنك المضي قدما بعد ذلك." replies the strange creature.
Sylvan:
"That sounds fair. Thank you for asking instead of just trying to destroy my grove here."
"You may move along then."
It begins to move about the fungal growths, carefully moving bits to one side and then the other. After a few moments, a narrow path is cleared of all fungi.
Without further interruption you continued onward through the tunnel. It begins to slope steadily downward as you trudge through the sewer. After several minutes, you come across a natural cleft in the rocky soil which breaches the sewer wall and rises gently to the north. Heaps of stranded organic material and garbage litter the opening, from which emanates a pungent stink even stronger than the complex’s already unpleasant odor.
As serpeantfang rounds the corner, he spies the tiny creature from the previous fight and two other mounds of...something. These grotesque masses of blubber and rancid flesh piles up hideously upon themselves, opening vast maws filled with teeth.
All three gnash their jaws at the group, looking rather hungry...

Althea attempts to crossbow alkali flask one of them (pink)!
alkali flask - ranged touch attack:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15 alkali flask vs ooze:2d6 ⇒ (3, 5) = 8

Quickly recognizing these opponents, Althea tells her companions a few weaknesses before chucking a flask into the mass of refuse. A soft *POOF* can be heard as it shatters...the beast looks annoyed.
Quinn pops the top again and downs a strange looking fluid. His skin seems to thicken as if he were an orc or something.
Xiao again cheers on the group, pointing out a few key facts as the sorcerer (I keep thinking your a druid serpentfang) directs his companion. He then proceeds to burn away at the blob. The stench of burning rubber mixed with something far more foul begins to fill the chamber.
Following Serpentfang's lead, Thoril steps forward and slices the bolbous thing in two! Both haves seem to lurch forward...at separate times and dissolve before your eyes.
The remaining globster lurches forward, slamming into Althea and wrapping her up within it's gooey self!
Althea, need a 2 Fort saves vs nausea. One because of stench aura, 1 because it touched you -Vivienne needs a Fort save due to stench aura vs nausea
The tiny creature panics as his blubber shield collapse and squeezes off a round at Thoril. The tiny bolt sails through the air...bouncing off the thick hide of the lizardfolk. Frantically reloading it's crossbow, it begins to reassess it's choices in life.

"That gremlin is starting to test my patience. And I'm a patient man!" Quinn quaffs another vial of strange liquid and his legs begin twitching rapidly.
Drawing and drinking an elixir of expeditious retreat.
