Sherix can find a rusty, but sturdy, sconce to attach the rope to.
The drawers of the desk slide open releasing spores of yellow mold!
As Richard steps onto the fake floor, it collapses! Tal, expecting something like this, pulls Richard back before he falls 20 feet onto sharpened spikes!
The rotting remains of a wooden cradle stand before a stone fireplace. A mobile formed from tiny seashells dangles above the cradle, swaying slowly in the breeze that enters through the open window.
Wide windows provide a panoramic view over the grounds of the estate. A grand desk of finely carved hickory sits before these windows, along with a large chair of rotted leather.
You flee the mine with the giants hot in pursuit. Seconds after the last giant leaves, the mine collapses with a deafening crash and a rolling cloud of dist.
With an unearthly scream, the spectre dissipates!
The spectre howls as Pontia's magic missile hits it. It will try to attack Sonny.
Sonny releases some positive energy.
The spectre howls in pain and a second later dissipates as Sabola plunges his dagger into it!
As you begin to loosen the supports, you hear sounds further down in the mine. Giant: Hurry up! This mine's gonna collapse!
Take your time! I'll introduce you into the game when you are ready...
About halfway down the hall, Richard's tapping strikes something that doesn't sound like the rest of the hallway.
Knowledge Local or History DC20:
Claudius Undiomede died 70 years ago at the age of 47.
Portions of the ceiling and floor of this chamber have collapsed, as well as part of the eastern wall. The remnants of the wooden floor sag alarmingly. Bookshelves that still hold the moldering remains of their paper and parchment contents stand drunkenly along the walls. Two ghostly figures wander this room. Upon seeing you all enter, they attack!
The 1st spectre will fly down and attack Sonny!
Sven and Brother Hawthorne see pretty shoddy construction of the mine from their vantage point and think that if the rest of the mine is similarly shoddy it might be easy to collapse the mine by weaking some support beams.
Ndombe misses, but luckily Umngane wounds the creature.
Seeing its target Shalissa withdraw, the elemental will pound Ndombe!
This hilly elevation on the plateau is hollowed out in the center, forming a dry basin. A series of sloped ledges wind around to the bottom, where the depression is flat and level. The curvature of the rock walls lends itself to the appearance of a natural arena. At the bottom, several large caves open into the northern rock wall. The ceiling and walls of the caves are supported by wooden beams, visible from the entrances. Across from the caves, on the southeast side, are a series of wooden target dummies. Small piles of round boulders are stacked around the basin’s rim.
I see no objections so level up and when you are ready, I'll re-introduce you...
Hint: Read the 09/04/2025 post regarding this hallway. While it has been over a month in RL, you would have been told this a few minutes ago.
A series of portraits hang along the curving inner wall of this
I have no objections to you re-joining the game. Does anyone else? You can DM me in private if you do...
DC 30 Knowledge dungeoneering:
Recognizes it as a representation of a dark young of Shub-Niggurath
DC 17 Knowledge nature:
Recognizes a resemblance to skum, though there are no females of that race
You send the remorhazes away and away they are glad to be! You sabotage the forge so it cannot be easily used again.
Harvey smiles. Well, I guess you are all good eggs! Have at it! They make way for you all to pass.
This hallway stretches for over fifty feet with only an occasional closed door to break its length. Two candle sconces provide a dim illumination among it many shadows.
Only one of Sabola's attacks hit, but Vivian slices and dices and the aberration drops!
Badly injured, Shalissa withdraws!
Harvey looks noncommittal. I don't know paly. We were told to stay here and guard this spot. Against what we have no idea! Whether he is reluctant because he is afraid of getting in trouble, or he doesn't want to spend his newly-gotten fortune on drinks, you are not sure.
Selene, calling on power from her deity, delivers a devastating attack!
Selene definitely determines that the spawn is evil!
Seeing that Acheh is not taking the dice, one of the thieves harumphs and takes the dice back. He smiles at Richard, Well now laddie, it is our turn fer the next four turns you in?
The second thief takes the bones and he is ecstatic when one die lands on 2 and the other lands on 6. He jumps up and down shouting, I won the pot! I won the pot! The other thieves look disappointed, Well! Ye be buying tha drinks tonight, Harvey, ye lucky bastard!
Ndombe misses the water elemental!
Vivian is unable to hit the spawn! The spawn will attack Sabola!
Surprisingly, the creature misses!
This Saturday I will be away visiting family for two weeks.
Shalissa will tell the group that this is a standard huge water elemental and as such normal damage is reduced. To illustrate her point, her longsword does not do the damage she would expect it to do. The Elemental turns its attention to Shalissa and attempt to slam her!
This Saturday I will be away visiting family for two weeks.

Ndombe's trident strikes the elemental, but doesn't do the damage he thinks it should have done. Neltji thinks it can be hexed.
When Richard's roll loses, the thieves hoot and holler and one slaps Richard on the back - hard! Hey! That's some tough luck for you, but great news for whoever wins the pot. Who knows! You might win it on the next go around! In regards to Richard's question, the thieves turn serious. Eh? Why do you want to go...further? There are some creepy things in here. Ain't right I tells you! Another thief pipes up. Tell em about the traps in the next room! Oh Yeah! When they posted us here, they said the next room is trapped. The wall is not as far as it seems, and about halfway down the hall, there be a covered pit trap. We stay outta that hall. Don't want to be no pin cushion me! They all chuckle nervously. There be other guards on the other end of the hallway. They know exactly how far it actually is and where the trap is. They ain't a fun bunch and don't roll the bones so I say to hades with them. You all on the other hand are fun! In response to Tal's question, the thieves look around nervously. True, but I wouldn't want them Drovenges catching me in a place where I shant be at instead of a place I should be. Their hearts are black and that is sayin' somethin' coming from me! They throw their gold piece in and look at Richard to do the same. They offer Acheh the bones. Throw your gold in and smile to Lady Luck!
As you all enter the aquaduct, one of you feels a stone plate sink and water swishes up forming a huge water elemental! Initiative:
