Ezri:

'''The king is death...'''

After the last battle [[Caius]] is severly injured, [[Autun]] lays hands in order to restore the bard to a more singable state. Expecting more fighting jelly's [[Bree]] drinks a potion enabling her to breath fire. The intermission is short, the Irregulars just take a short breather before they head onwards to the large cavern. Where Autun climbs the ramp to a central plateau. It's covered in slime and dotted with pockets that seem to have been hatcheries for oozes. But other that that no sign of the [[Pudding King]] can be seen.

The Irregulars venture north. Far away the sounds and screams of battle can be heard. The deep gnome army must have encountered another bunch adversaries. With [[Rocky]] moves through the wall scouting ahead of the group and quickly returns, he signs "Danger." At the same time the Irregulars hear a sound behind them: a black pudding approaches. The group gets ready to fight.

A couple of Eldritch Blasts from [[Bree]], arrows from both [[Kais]] and [[Autun]] and a fiery swipe of [[Ezri]]'s flame blade significantly hurt the pudding. Then [[Rocky]] storms forward and smashes the injured pudding with both his huge stone fists. Compacting the pudding into something that resembles undercooked pankcakes. The sheer amount of force that Rocky throws into his punches make the black goop squirt over Ezri who was still in melee range.

"Ieeeeeuw! It's still warm!!!"

Not a moment passes and two more black puddings drop from the ceiling. One on top of Bree who takes damage as an instant reaction Bree shoots Eldritch blasts at he pudding that hit her and spits out a little flame, still unused to breathing fire. It takes the collecive powers of Sirene, Autun who slashes with [[Dawnbringer]], Ezri's flame blade and Rocky's fists to pound this pudding into a more submissive state. It is Caius who steps up and delivers the final blow with his sword, killing the pudding in one swift but heroic motion. Immediately the Irregulars turn towards the other pudding of which they make short measure.

The Irregulars move on through the caverns looking for the Pudding King. Kais spots something sparkling in the air a bit further down the cave. As soon as Bree sees it too she casts Fairy Fire at the sparkles, two gelatinous cubes light up green. The now glowing cube put up little resistance and are quickly dispatched in a group effort .

The group pushes on. As they hear a voice ahead Rocky disappears into the ground. A platoon of oozes come rushing towards the Irregulars, and move past the groups. Apparently the have more urgent matters to attend than fighting Stool's finest. At that time Rocky rises back up from the ground. The Irregulars feel that they are on the right path and push forward.

The Irregulars find themselves in a large cavern. Remnants of furniture are strewn about, it seems that most of the furniture are benches. As if this room was once was a big waiting room. Ahead the groups spots an old gnome, stooped over a cane. As he spots the Irregulars he runs for it screaming "Get them! Get them!" Again oozes drop from the ceiling. One big black oozes and a slightly smaller yellow one.

"We've got to kill them [[Princess Ebenmeyer]]!" The voice of the old gnome is shrill and sounds a bit farther away.

Ezri throws one of the [[Alchemist's fire]] potions, but unfortunately misses. Bree's aim with her Eldritch Blast is more accurate. The yellow ooze is moving away, in the direction of the old gnome went. Meanwhile Caius takes significant damage from the black ooze and falls to the floor in the most braves ways a proud warrior could. Ezri now casts a flaming sphere and pushes it into the black ooze. It takes a fell swoop from Autun to finish this ooze. Meanwhile Kais uses his [[Mage Hand]] to pour a potion of greater healing down Caius throat.

Sirene takes damage and disappears. Whilst Caius gets up and joins the front once again.

The group moves on in the direct the last heard the old gnome they suspect is the [[Pudding King]]. A last grey ooze is retreating further down the room. Autun bolts for it and gets onto a raised dais where a throne stands. From behind the dais the Irregulars hear a whimpering and a yellow poisonous cloud fills the immediate surrounding of the throne. Ezri moves into the throne room balancing the flaming sphere and decidedly pushes it into the grey ooze, who is finished off by Bree's eldritch blasts.

Up on the dais Autun can't hold his breath and takes damage from the poisonous cloud he finds himself in. Kais Runs around the room in order to cut off any exit that the Pudding King could take. Whilst Rocky dashes forward, untouched by the yellow fog, and moves up on the dais. Kais too can't avoid the fog completely and throws a well place Fire Ball spell engulfing the throne in flames, but missing Autun. The blast moves the yellow fog spreading it through the throne room. It takes two more fire balls from both Ezri and Bree to move cloud away before Caius is finally able to dispell it.

Autun charges behind the throne and Rocky simply steps over it only to discover a cowering whimpering gnome. The Earth Elemental doesn't waste a moment and smashes with his fists into the gnome. Kais gets close thrusting his rapier into the Pudding King who succumbs to the weapon. A strange large booming sound emerges when Kais spears the king.

The Irregulars move on through the caverns looking for the Pudding King. Kais spots something sparkling in the air a bit further down the cave. As soon as Bree sees it too she casts Fairy Fire at the sparkles, two gelatinous cubes light up green. The now glowing cube put up little resistance and are quickly dispatched in a group effort .

The group pushes on. As they hear a voice ahead Rocky disappears into the ground. A platoon of oozes come rushing towards the Irregulars, and move past the groups. Apparently the have more urgent matters to attend than fighting Stool's finest. At that time Rocky rises back up from the ground. The Irregulars feel that they are on the right path and push forward.

The Irregulars find themselves in a large cavern. Remnants of furniture are strewn about, it seems that most of the furniture are benches. As if this room was once was a big waiting room. Ahead the groups spots an old gnome, stooped over a cane. As he spots the Irregulars he runs for it screaming "Get them! Get them!" Again oozes drop from the ceiling. One big black oozes and a slightly smaller yellow one.

"We've got to kill them [[Princess Ebenmeyer]]!" The voice of the old gnome is shrill and sounds a bit farther away.

Ezri throws one of the [[Alchemist's fire]] potions, but unfortunately misses. Bree's aim with her Eldritch Blast is more accurate. The yellow ooze is moving away, in the direction of the old gnome went. Meanwhile Caius takes significant damage from the black ooze and falls to the floor in the most braves ways a proud warrior could. Ezri now casts a flaming sphere and pushes it into the black ooze. It takes a fell swoop from Autun to finish this ooze. Meanwhile Kais uses his [[Mage Hand]] to pour a potion of greater healing down Caius throat.

Sirene takes damage and dissappears. Whilst Caius gets up and joins the front once again.

The group moves on in the direct the last heard the old gnome they suspect is the [[Pudding King]]. A last grey ooze is retreating further down the room. Autun bolts for it and gets onto a raised dais where a throne stands. From behind the dais the Irregulars hear a whimpering and a yellow poisonous cloud fills the immediate surrounding of the throne. Ezri moves into the throne room balancing the flaming sphere and decidedly pushes it into the grey ooze, who is finished off by Bree's eldritch blasts.

Up on the dais Autun can't hold his breath and takes damage from the poisonous cloud he finds himself in. Kais Runs around the room in order to cut off any exit that the Pudding King could take. Whilst Rocky dashes forward, untouched by the yellow fog, and moves up on the dais. Kais too can't avoid the fog completely and throws a well place Fire Ball spell engulfing the throne in flames, but missing Autun. The blast moves the yellow fog spreading it through the throne room. It takes two more fire balls from both Ezri and Bree to move cloud away before Caius is finally able to dispell it.

Autun charges behind the throne and Rocky simply steps over it only to discover a cowering whimpering gnome. The Earth Elemental doesn't waste a moment and smashes with his fists into the gnome. Kais get's close thrusting his rapier into the Pudding King who succumbs to the weapon. A strange large booming sound emerges when Kais spears the king.

Ezri: Moved Ezri's talk with Gurnik from 29th to today.

[[Kais]] is absent for this session

''"From the journal of Caius of Reckenmark, date unknown"''

The day started with a difficult conversation, one of the Irregulars has finally reached their home and is now with his family once more. When we leave [[Blingdenstone]], should he remain there?
[[Jimothy Tapfinger]], the second best sniper, the terrifying translator, the dread gambler.. We might soon be without. Many have fallen along the way, but he survived. Thrived even.
No longer a bet-crazy wreck of a gnome, but now an honoured member of our Adventuring Party.
We all have seen his trepidation upon returning, the looks he has received. Is it not better for him to remain with us? His New Family?
With sorrow in our hearts we conclude that it is here he belongs. Where we go, towards the sun, he has no place… Jimjar shall stay.
But will he be accepted? Perhaps if the people here know how his mettle was tested, that he is a Gnome reforged, someone who can be relied upon..

I now know the first song of tonight.

 With these things discussed on empty stomachs, we gather around the table in the common room of the Foaming Mug. Tappy serves a fine meal and we discuss the matters at hand.
The party tonight leaves us little time to pay a visit to the Wererat enclave on the outskirts of town, it would be terrible form to miss the festivities we partially instigated. Also, I must admit that I’ve grown curious of the taste of properly prepared Cave Fisher. A day of preparation is sorely needed. Our endless march though this forsaken realm has left many of us with coin to spend and a desire to undergo some retailer therapy. There is also the matter of dealing with this batch of corrupted Earth Elemental Hearts… We do live an interesting life.

[[Bree]] takes these Earth Elemental Hearts and pays [[Nomi Pathshutter]] a visit. Nomi is delighted with the company and asks Bree if she could help her pick out clothing for the party. Bree selects a black dress for her with a polka dot pattern, quite different from her usual breeks and tunic style of dress. While trying out different outfits, she informs Bree that the Elemental corruption could be caused by something called [[Ogremoch's Bane]], a vile wind originating from somewhere near Blingdenstone. She also mentioned a fabled location named [[Entemoch's Boon]], which is said to have a magical properties that prevent the Earth Elementals' madness. Unfortunately gno one has been able to find it as the area surrounding Blingdenstone is deemed too dangerous for many and the city can not spare the warriors required to escort the wizards and wise-persons. Bree places the Earth Elemental hearts in Nomi’s care. Perhaps they can do some good in time.

Meanwhile, [[Autun]] visits [[Thrain Thirgoim]], the dwarf armorer, to have his new breastplate fitted. Ducking under the low doorpost to enter, he is met with the sounds of dwarven industry and is immediately tasked with working the bellows. Mightily he heaves, the fires of the forge blazing hot, the air thick with the smell of dwarven singe-beard. A bellow from Thrain demanding restraint settles Autun into a more tempered pace and Thrain soon finishes his task. He turns around and sees Autun for the first time, quite a shock I imagine, suddenly finding a half giant in your smithy… After explaining to Thrain that he is here to have his breastplate fitted, Thrain’s apprentice arrives and they get to the task of ironcladding our paladin.
Autun passes an invitation to Thrain for the upcoming festivities and upon revealing the main dish, learns the origin of [[Forge Whisky]], cavefisher insides reduced on the forge to a form strong liquor loved by many a dwarf.

[[Ezri]] visits the leatherworker [[Kes Kets]], who loves, nay, adores his chosen materials. "Hard" at work, indeed.
Our Druid enquires on the state of the studded leather armour she had commissioned, which turns out to be nearing completion.
Feeling spendy and bold, Ezri commissions an additional piece of daring leathery art in the form of a pair of fancy garters that can hold her hand-axe and silver sickle.
To top it al off another item is requested, the Badger’s gem that Ezri keeps on her person needs something better to be carry around in. Perhaps it could be made into a pendant?

During all this, Caius is absolutely not following the other members of the party to take notes of what occurred during his absence. Instead he makes small talk with the citizens of Blingdenstone to learn more about their culture. Planning to incorporate the information gained into his upcoming performance. I learn of the origin of the hostile sentiment towards the wererats, who were once the deep gnomes that remained while the rest of the city evacuated to the mountain dwarves during the drow raid. It is a sad tail. Where once there was kinship, now there are torn families, resentment, anger and spilt blood.
If only reconciliation could be made. If only these people could be shown that the dangers outside are best braved together..

I now know the second song of tonight.

 Time passes. The hour of the party draws near.

We gather at the place of revelries at the Inn where we are staying, the Foaming Mug, as the preparations are in full force, Tappy a blur of activity as he darts in and out of the kitchen. Rich aromas fill the room and many a stomach is set a rumble. Our fancy new clothing arrives, Bree now has an elegant dress which shows off her dragon scales, Ezri receives a gown with a black and white pattern reminiscent of a badger's coat. Has anyone seen [[Kais]]? No? Wonder where he is.. Must be off doing some elf thing or something…

More time passes, the people of the city slowly start to arrive and the festivities slowly ramp up. Delightful smells fill the air as a fully prepared cave fisher is carried in, defended by a spoon-wielding dire-gnome. A swift blow is dealt to any who dare to even attempt a taste before the [[Diggermattocks]] arrive. They do so fashionable late and the feast begins in earnest. Food is passed around and everyone gets their share.

Still no sign of Kais... Should I begin without him?

I begin playing some light music while everyone is eating. Bree joins Nomi in the circle of mages and has a discussion about magic. Ezri finds a group of young gnome girls and celebrates by drinking, and drinking and then having another drink. Giggling increasing all the while until mystic mushroom peels fly in an arcane ritual. Ezri learns during this strange game that the name of her spouse's sarts with the letter C. Oh my.

The mood is right and I can no longer wait for Kais to arrive. I begin the first song, the [[Epic of the Irregulars]]. The great recounting of our past experiences in the [[Underdark]]. From behind the bar, pointy ears peak up and Kais and Jimothy emerge with two more guests, the long lost [[Topsy and Turvy]]! These deepgnome wererat twins were with us in the first leg of our journey before they made their own way home. They act out the song on stage. The recounting focuses on the positive spirit of heroism and optimism, the growth of Jimjar from a gambling addicted lowlife to a noble selfless hero.

The next song is written to begin the process of reconciliation between the exodees and the wererat remainers, the schism of mistrust and shame that was created when half the population left and the other half abandoned to their lycantropic fate.

[[Bree]] has a conversation with [[Gurnik Tapfinger]] about what it means to be exiled from ones home. Something [[Bree]] is a little uncomfortable having, but it's good for [[Bree]] to bring these feelings to the fore for once. A comparison was made between [[Bree]]'s and [[Jimjar]]'s experience of getting into trouble and then being forced to leave their home. Gurnik reassures [[Bree]] that were she to return home she would definitely be welcome. [[Bree]] and Gurnik agree that it would be best if [[Rumpadump]] stay behind when the adventurers leave. This will be a safe place for the little funguy, much safer than being with us. [[Bree]] is thankful for Gurnik's kind words, and willingness to look after [[Rumpadump]].

Coming around to the slightly inebriated [[Ezri]] Gurnik sits down and motions the last Ezri's drinking buddies away. Ezri finishes her ale and signals Tappy for another round. Whilst Gurnik asks for a round of fire whiskey chasers she asks Ezri what she wants in her life. "Home, back up top and settle, start a family and do the happily ever after." On the question with whom Ezri would start the family with, she starts talking [[Vayana]], the most perfect and beautiful girl in the whole of [[Waterdeep]]. The Alderman's daughter she never dared to confess her love to, and after that one faithful night when she saw her, saw her... Now she'll probably will never dare to. But still Vayana is the woman of Ezri's dreams, living together in a house on the edge of Waterdeep, with their children running around the house, and playing in the woods. Downing another fire whiskey. "But first: I have my duties down here, Iv'e seen things, we the Irregulars, have seen things. And the Irregulars, the weird bunch we are, we became an unlikely family. We have to do this first, before I go back up top." Gurnik gets up and asks Tappy to refill Ezri's fire whiskey once more.

29 November 2019

2019-12-25T10:59:19Z

Ezri:

[[Gurnik Tapfinger]], [[Jimjar]]'s mother has been making the rounds at the party, getting to know her son's friends. She offers advice to each of them. For [[Kais]], she observes that he seems a bit distant from the others. He points out that he hasn't known them long, on the scale of things. He also brings up losing his family, and that the [[28 June 2019 | obelisk]] and [[15 March 2019 | mysterious cabin]] the party have found have given him some hope that the events in the [[Underdark]] are connected to his lost village, and that perhaps on this strange journey he will find them again. She says she will let him know if she hears anything, and invites him to meditate at her temple.

[[Topsy and Turvy]] enjoy the performance, although they don't say much about where they've been or what they've been doing since they last saw the [[adventurers]]. They have fun talking to [[Ezri]] about her changing shape, and are even more amused as she becomes increasingly drunk. Eventually she passes out on the bar table, and the kids leave, inviting the party to visit them in the were-rat village.

The next day, Ezri is seriously hung over. After trying a number of folk hangover remedies from the rest of the party, [[Caius]] ''Restores'' her to normal functioning, and the party heads off to visit the were-rats.

We pass through the [[Blingdenstone]] gates without much questioning. The passage ahead contains a trip wire, which the party spots and steps over. A pack of four guards emerge from the other side and challenge the party. We explain that we come to visit our young friends - and to bring news which all the Underdark should hear. We tell the guards our long tale, and after hearing it they decide we are harmless enough and let us pass. We pass a hallway that reeks of trash and death, and elect to go the other way. We reach a chamber with a high ledge, which a quick scout from [[Sirene]] is shown to contain a chair with a large gnome and two large rats at his side. We tell our tale to him, and he tells us to get our asses up to the ledge. There is a narrow passage leading up, which we follow. It is evident that this is a residential area, and the residents stare at us. Finally we reach the top of the ledge, and we learn that our host is [[Chipgrin Goldwhisker]], and the two large rats are Topsy and Turvey. Chipgrin tells us that his people have been fighting a steady stream of oozes, and it's only the ones that get past them that make it to Blingdenstone. He tells us the origin of the oozes seems to be a fellow calling himself The [[Pudding King]]. He used to work in the tunnels before the [[Drow]] occupation, and no one knows quite what happened after that. His lair is beyond a set of blocked-off passages, beyond the trash heap. The dead body stench is due to dead bodies, which the were-rats have no place to bury. He tells us the were-rats' side of things: that they had stayed in Blingdenstone during the occupation, but when the other gnomes returned they effectively kicked out the were-rats. Thus from their point of view, the city has been taken from them twice. Although they are not happy with the "new" residents, at this point, they are willing to coexist with them, if the gnomes will treat them as equals.

We tell Chipgrin of our mission, and that [[Senni Diggermattock]] is sympathetic to the were-rats and wants to broker a peace. He agrees to a parlay. We decide to first check out the Pudding King, and then bring the news back to Blindgenstone.

We quickly reach the blocked tunnels. We decide to dig a crawl space over the top of one of the passages. We crawl through ([[Autun]] is shrunk by a [[pygmywort]] to fit) and exit into a room whose walls are covered in slime. There is a sphere in the middle that is literally crowded with countless oozes. We hear a voice in our heads: "Visitors! No, pests! We are not ready yet. Soon the [[Faceless One]] will come to take Blingdenstone. I will call on all of you soon enough!" Then we all feel a mental shock. [[Bree]] manages to shake it off; Kais believes he does as well but is left jittery and feeling oddly fragile. Autun and Caius drop unconscious; Jimjar begins vomiting uncontrollably. Ezri becomes inexplicably attached to Autun, and won't leave his side. Kais has the wherewithal to shove a pygmywort down Autun's throat; after a moment Autun shrinks obligingly, so he also stuffs one down Caius. Ezri carries Autun, Kais pockets Caius, and they scurry back to the passage. They also have the presence of mind to refill the hole they'd made, so the puddings will hopefully remain on their side of the wall.

They race back to Chipgrin to tell him what they've found. "Yeah, I told you it was dangerous," he says. "You didn't say anything about demons!" Clearly, the demon is news to him, and he is now very motivated to broker a peace with Blingdenstone to get their help against this threat. The pygmywort wears off, and he helps us fashion a sledge to bring the unconscious party members back to Blingdenstone. He is impressed that Kais has no difficulty disarming the mechanism on the tripwire, once he shows him where it is. Kais kindly re-arms it as well.

Upon re-entering Blingdenstone, the guards see our fallen soldiers and offer to get a cleric. We tell them to send the cleric to the inn. It is, of course, Jimjar's mom who shows up. She manages to restore Caius, Autun, and Jimjar to normal function. This is all she can do in a day. Caius checks out Ezri and Kais and decides they are fine. (He's wrong, of course... Kais is jumping at shadows and seems oddly distracted, but Caius brushes this off as just being shaken from the encounter.) Autun confirms Kais' suspicion - the Faceless One is a name for [[Juiblex]].

Jimjar's mother says she will tell the [[Burrow Warden]] of the unburied dead in the were-rat district of Blingdenstone. They will send a party to parlay. And, somehow, we must find a plan to deal with this Pudding problem while the Pudding King is still "not ready yet."

[[Non-Player Characters]]

29 November 2019

2019-12-21T19:55:59Z

Ezri:

[[Gurnik Tapfinger]], [[Jimjar]]'s mother has been making the rounds at the party, getting to know her son's friends. She offers advice to each of them. For [[Kais]], she observes that he seems a bit distant from the others. He points out that he hasn't known them long, on the scale of things. He also brings up losing his family, and that the [[28 June 2019 | obelisk]] and [[15 March 2019 | mysterious cabin]] the party have found have given him some hope that the events in the [[Underdark]] are connected to his lost village, and that perhaps on this strange journey he will find them again. She says she will let him know if she hears anything, and invites him to meditate at her temple.

Coming around to the slightly inebriated [[Ezri]] Gurnik sits down and motions the last Ezri's drinking buddies away. Ezri finishes her ale and signals Tappy for another round. Whilst Gurnik asks for a round of fire whiskey chasers she asks Ezri what she wants in her life. "Home, back up top and settle, start a family and do the happily ever after." On the question with whom Ezri would start the family with, she starts talking [[Vayana]], the most perfect and beautiful girl in the whole of [[Waterdeep]]. The Alderman's daughter she never dared to confess her love to, and after that one faithful night when she saw her, saw her... Now she'll probably will never dare to. But still Vayana is the woman of Ezri's dreams, living together in a house on the edge of Waterdeep, with their children running around the house, and playing in the woods. Downing another fire whiskey. " But first: I have my duties down here, Iv'e seen things, we the Irregulars, have seen things. And the Irregulars, the weird bunch we are, we became an unlikely family. We have to do this first, before I go back up top. Gurnik gets up and asks Tappy to refill Ezri's fire whiskey once more time.

[[Topsy and Turvy]] enjoy the performance, although they don't say much about where they've been or what they've been doing since they last saw the [[adventurers]]. They have fun talking to [[Ezri]] about her changing shape, and are even more amused as she becomes increasingly drunk. Eventually she passes out on the bar table, and the kids leave, inviting the party to visit them in the were-rat village.

The next day, Ezri is seriously hung over. After trying a number of folk hangover remedies from the rest of the party, [[Caius]] ''Restores'' her to normal functioning, and the party heads off to visit the were-rats.

We pass through the [[Blingdenstone]] gates without much questioning. The passage ahead contains a trip wire, which the party spots and steps over. A pack of four guards emerge from the other side and challenge the party. We explain that we come to visit our young friends - and to bring news which all the Underdark should hear. We tell the guards our long tale, and after hearing it they decide we are harmless enough and let us pass. We pass a hallway that reeks of trash and death, and elect to go the other way. We reach a chamber with a high ledge, which a quick scout from [[Sirene]] is shown to contain a chair with a large gnome and two large rats at his side. We tell our tale to him, and he tells us to get our asses up to the ledge. There is a narrow passage leading up, which we follow. It is evident that this is a residential area, and the residents stare at us. Finally we reach the top of the ledge, and we learn that our host is [[Chipgrin Goldwhisker]], and the two large rats are Topsy and Turvey. Chipgrin tells us that his people have been fighting a steady stream of oozes, and it's only the ones that get past them that make it to Blingdenstone. He tells us the origin of the oozes seems to be a fellow calling himself The [[Pudding King]]. He used to work in the tunnels before the [[Drow]] occupation, and no one knows quite what happened after that. His lair is beyond a set of blocked-off passages, beyond the trash heap. The dead body stench is due to dead bodies, which the were-rats have no place to bury. He tells us the were-rats' side of things: that they had stayed in Blingdenstone during the occupation, but when the other gnomes returned they effectively kicked out the were-rats. Thus from their point of view, the city has been taken from them twice. Although they are not happy with the "new" residents, at this point, they are willing to coexist with them, if the gnomes will treat them as equals.

We tell Chipgrin of our mission, and that [[Senni Diggermattock]] is sympathetic to the were-rats and wants to broker a peace. He agrees to a parlay. We decide to first check out the Pudding King, and then bring the news back to Blindgenstone.

We quickly reach the blocked tunnels. We decide to dig a crawl space over the top of one of the passages. We crawl through ([[Autun]] is shrunk by a [[pygmywort]] to fit) and exit into a room whose walls are covered in slime. There is a sphere in the middle that is literally crowded with countless oozes. We hear a voice in our heads: "Visitors! No, pests! We are not ready yet. Soon the [[Faceless One]] will come to take Blingdenstone. I will call on all of you soon enough!" Then we all feel a mental shock. [[Bree]] manages to shake it off; Kais believes he does as well but is left jittery and feeling oddly fragile. Autun and Caius drop unconscious; Jimjar begins vomiting uncontrollably. Ezri becomes inexplicably attached to Autun, and won't leave his side. Kais has the wherewithal to shove a pygmywort down Autun's throat; after a moment Autun shrinks obligingly, so he also stuffs one down Caius. Ezri carries Autun, Kais pockets Caius, and they scurry back to the passage. They also have the presence of mind to refill the hole they'd made, so the puddings will hopefully remain on their side of the wall.

They race back to Chipgrin to tell him what they've found. "Yeah, I told you it was dangerous," he says. "You didn't say anything about demons!" Clearly, the demon is news to him, and he is now very motivated to broker a peace with Blingdenstone to get their help against this threat. The pygmywort wears off, and he helps us fashion a sledge to bring the unconscious party members back to Blingdenstone. He is impressed that Kais has no difficulty disarming the mechanism on the tripwire, once he shows him where it is. Kais kindly re-arms it as well.

Upon re-entering Blingdenstone, the guards see our fallen soldiers and offer to get a cleric. We tell them to send the cleric to the inn. It is, of course, Jimjar's mom who shows up. She manages to restore Caius, Autun, and Jimjar to normal function. This is all she can do in a day. Caius checks out Ezri and Kais and decides they are fine. (He's wrong, of course... Kais is jumping at shadows and seems oddly distracted, but Caius brushes this off as just being shaken from the encounter.) Autun confirms Kais' suspicion - the Faceless One is a name for [[Juiblex]].

Jimjar's mother says she will tell the [[Burrow Warden]] of the unburied dead in the were-rat district of Blingdenstone. They will send a party to parlay. And, somehow, we must find a plan to deal with this Pudding problem while the Pudding King is still "not ready yet."

Ezri:

'''Laying them to rest'''

Whilst doing some shopping to get their supplies back on par the Irregulars talk to a seller. He tells the group the story of Blingdenstone. The city has been occupied by the Drow and has only just been reclaimed by the deep gnomes. Traces of the occupation can still be seen around the city.

The hand that the adventures took in Gracklestugh should be put to rest, assuring that the soul tied to it will find rest as well. The group heads out to the temple dedicated to Shojun Earthcaller, which is overseen by the Borough Warden. The Temple has a similar look as the Badger's Temple that the Irregulars came accross on their journey from Gracklestugh to Blingdenstone. The group heads downstairs looking for the Burrow Warden.

---
Something Something, I need a better shot of Ace's notes for this part.
---

We hear rumors of creatures that turn their victims into stone, apparently on sight. In the market we purchase four silver hand mirrors. Hoping it protects us from the being turned into stone if we see the creatures only through their reflections.

We enter ??Rockblinf??. There is an abandoned neighbourhood. Suddenly a ghost appears hovering in the air in front of us. Kais shoots an arrow that flies straight through, on which the ghost shouts: "They're coming! Hide!" After that he ghost is seen darting off into an hole. After we recover from fright, and we figure out that there isn't any imminent danger we go after the ghost and find ourselves in a room. Against a wall there is a bed and a skeleton kneeling besides it, on arm stretched out under the bed. It looks as if this person was looking for something that rolled under the bed and suddenly died in that position.

When we investigate what it is that this poor soul might have been after Ezri notices a loose floorboard. She pulls it out and finds 6 gems, she estimates that each is worth about a 100 gold pieces. There also is a flask with an unidentified potion. We pack up the bones in Autun's purple cloak of many purposes, intending to bring this skeleton back to the Borough Warden and granting it's soul to finally rest.

We continue through the deserted part of the city and come across a waterfall and a set of staircases, for once we go up the stairs reaching a plateau. Where we find to gargoyles. Autun holds still, trying to sense if there is any evil near, of which he indeed feels the presence. The gargoyles come a life, one attacking Autun who is in the front, the other attacking Ezri, who is in the rear of the group. Autun is able to smythe his attacker. Ezri is less fortunate, the gargoyle wounding her her to the point she falls unconscious.

From a distance Caius performs a spell giving Ezri enough lucidity to wake up and maker her come to her senses enough to at least try to defend herself. The blast of lightning sears the gargoyle, but is not strong enough to mortally wound it. It takes magic arrows form Kais and Jimjar to finish him off.

With the gargoyles dispatched a mad earth elemental rises up from the dirt. The Irregulars manage to kill it, reducing it to a big pile of dirt. In this pile we find a yellow gem.

Ezri: /* Give us a Floater */

== Give us a Floater ==
''The day starts out with the Irregulars at the docks of [[Gracklestugh]], getting themselves ready for the journey to the city of the deep gnomes. Before departure the folding boat needs a christening and be trained the commands to deploy and fold back up.''

Keeping the warning of Errde in mind that the boat will listen to any one we decide that the we will use languages that would be uncommon in the Underdark and use both Bree's halfling and [[Ezri]]'s druidic. Even with these languages we thought of words uncommon to be spoken in regular conversation.

The command given that will deploy the boat will be "Give us a floater, [boat]!" in halfling. Whilst the collapsing spell is "Pucker up, [boat]! I have to admit that I had to think hard on what that would be in druidic, most of the language is focused on nature and it's doings, however bodily functions are not commonly described. Both Bree and I spend some time to teach the rest the words, albeit phonetically, so they can command the boat as necessary. Except [[Caius]], who has put in a bit too much effort in showing off at the inn last night, as bards do *sigh*, and lost his voice. Bree and I will teach him later.

We deploy our boat and it's presented to us as a small sailboat, I think I recall one of the fishermen in the taverns of Waterdeep to call this a cat boat. It's a little larger than our previous vessel and it actually has a sail. Which will make our traveling a little more comfortable -Not that I mind the workout of rowing, need to keep in shape mind you!- However the winds are not kind to us to day and the sail would be useless, so we head out with [[Autun]] at the oars and [[Shuushar]] taking his familiar role as guide at the rudder. I take it easy for now, still a little exhausted and even a bit sore after my goodbye with that Drow seamstress.

Meanwhile I see Bree with a book, I believe it's the book of spells we got from [[Nerrick]]'s chest. Whilst I see [[Kais]] performing some sort of spell. Out of the dark suddenly a bat comes flying towards us. I hear some flapping and see the shadow circle around the boat a couple of times before it settles itself hanging upside down from the boom.

After a couple fo hours it's time to relieve [[Autun]] of his rowing duty. I make [[Caius]] take one oar, while taking the other myself and start rowing. [[Rumpadump]] then grabs [[Caius]]'s drum and starts drumming something that has to be a rhythm, jumping up and down in order to hit the skin hard enough. Cute as the little guy me be, his sense of timing is off even more than that the of the bard who is silently rowing by my side. [[Autun]] helps by clapping and giving both Rumpadump and us some useful guidance.

The day and night go by uneventful. It's promising to be another long journey on the dark lake. I'm wondering how big is this [[Underdark]] anyway? It's way too big to be a regular cave and this [[Darklake]] is more like a dark ocean.

The second day [[Kais]] sends out his bat. He explained that the spell he performed yesterday is a ritual called [[Find Familiar]] and conjures a spirit that takes the shape of an animal. Which explains the bat lounging on our boom. [[Kais]] tells the bat will obey his commands and the will also be able to see through his eyes and hear through his ears. I reckon it's somewhat similar to my wildshaping abilities where I gain all the senses of the animal I turn into. Though [[Kais]] just connects telepathically with the bat, his own body will still be his own Elven self. After a little while [[Kais]] and his bat tells us that the waters are clear for as far as the bat could fly.

''At the back of the boat Bree is starting to look more and more distressed. Suddenly she starts speaking in tongues. Audibly none of the [[Irregulars]] is able to understand any of what she says, but Bree is panicking more by the second. Through Rumpadump it becomes clear that she is screaming for help and it requires all of [[Autun]]'s strength to hold her down and calm her. In the process [[Autun]] notices that Bree's shoulder that has been burnt by the angry dragon back in [[Gracklestugh]] now has scales instead of skin''

When [[Autun]] finally has calmed Bree down enough that she regains her composure she starts telling us what is going on. Apparently her patron was rather unhappy about us upsetting a dragon eventually resulting in his demise and decided to punish Bree for her part in this. Her patron turned Bree in part [[halfling]] part [[dragonkind]] sorcerer. I wonder, would that make her a ''quarterling'' then?

"I don't need any of this any more!" shouts Bree as she starts doffing her armour and undressing herself. It shows that not only her shoulder but about half her body is covered with dragon scales. I also note that she is wearing some pretty underthings that look suspiciously like what [[Urmedara]] was wearing during our last night in [[Gracklestugh]] (well at least she started the evening wearing those things...).

"Hey, did you steal that from my girlfriend!?" I call her out. [[Kais]] intervenes and says that Bree probably bought herself some nice things in the market. [[Jimjar]] again is puzzled and mutters something about 'girlfriends doing girlthings'. He clearly has no clue about love and a girl's needs.

Meanwhile Bree has covered up and it's suggested that I put my skills to use making some leather armour for Rumpadump, giving the little [[Myconid]] a little more protection from the dangers we're bound to encounter. It'll also give me something to do, Shuushar reckons that it will take us about three ten-days to get to the city of the Deep Gnomes.

As night falls we set up watches and get ourselves as comfortable as we can for the night. When I wake up I notice that the sail has been deployed. Bree tells that she woke up Shuushar to help with that Earlier in the night, as the wind picked up. I spend some more time fitting Rumpadump his armour while [[Autun]] tries his luck at fishing. But the only thing he catches is some seaweeds, or more like lake weeds actually, that Shuushar calls dazbood weeds.

On it's scouting flight [[Kais]]' bat, and Kais with it, sees a boat not far from our own. Kais tells us that this boat is likely to be a bit larger than ours and has somewhere between 4-10 creatures in it that are more or less average sized. Bats are apparently no good at math, or denomination of species. I have bad feeling about this. We turn the boat in the direction of the other vessel and make haste [[Autun]] takes the oars, [[Kais]] uses Mage Hand giving the boat an extra push.

"You know what is about a foot long and sounds like a sneeze?!" [[Rumpadump]] suddenly shouts. "A SHOE!!" Shh! I can't help but laugh, so do the others, even as it is the corniest joke ever. Even the drunken sailors in the worst bars of [[Waterdeep]] tell better jokes. Even though it takes us all of our self discipline to regain our composure. As soon as we are able to stop laughing I hear the typical swooooosh followed by a twoingngngng of an arrow hitting our boat, by the looks of it, it is Drow. I've got a bad feeling about this..

Having hostiles coming closer we act fast. Bree casts a spell enabling all of us to walk on water. I touch [[Autun]] to give him darkvision, wearing the darkvision goggles myself. Leaving [[Rumpadump]], [[Shuushar]] and [[Caius]] in the boat, we set foot on water and make our way towards the other boat.

I'm not having any of this and start the fight by casting a Lightning Bolt straight at the port side of the ship, where I see three Drow holding crossbows at the ready. I see the bright lights shooting from my fingertips. Speeding towards the boat with a roaring thunder, that even on this vast open space seems to echo. The bolt hits and passes unhindered through the hostiles on the port side. In the last bits of light I see three clouds of ashes slowly swirling towards the deck. Right before my feet I hear a faint splash of something hitting the water. I'm sure it's another arrow from that archer.

[[Bree]] seems to be of the same mind as I am, as I see her performing a spell and instantaneously a big ball of fire appears above the remaining two Drow, setting the sails alight and killing the last crossbowman. The one with the longbow still remains standing, not looking harmed by the fire. [[Autun]] is able to knock and loose two arrows from his longbow. The first one misses, but the second one does find it's target. But still the archer remains standing up. It takes two more arrows from [[Kais]] and [[Jimjar]] to visibly hurt him, but still he remains standing upright.

I want to make this fight as short as possible and decide to cook the guy. I cast Heat Metal and see his armour starting to glow. Even without the goggles I see the breastplate turning dark yellow first, turning to the colour of cherries and ending up bright red within seconds. Then the Drow jumps overboard, resulting in a big cloud of steam coming from the water with the loudest hiss I ever heard steel make in a quench. I sigh and relax, if being roasted, steamed and boiled didn't kill this guy then surely he would drown in the Dark Lake, being weighed down by all his armour.

But then, a figure rises from the water and keeps rising until it is about 20 feet in the air. This guy ain't dead, oh man I hate all this magical shit where you can't even trust someone to be dead and stay dead. Immediately I see [[Autun]] loose two arrows at him. In his haste, and probably because he is surprised as I am, only one arrow lands on target. From my other side I see a blast of energy originating from [[Bree]], she must have cast an Eldritch Blast. Both bolts hit and I hear a horrendous sound of bones breaking and tearing through flesh and skin. I see the Drow turning inside out and turning undead. He has turned as far from being a living Drow as possible. [[Kais]] and [[Jimjar]] shoot another couple of arrows. It's Jimjar's final arrow that does him in. I see one arrow hitting straight between the eyes, pushing the now undead head against the mast. Closely followed by a second arrow splitting both the first arrow from knock till tip and the skull in two, spilling the zombie's brains all over the place. Finally he is really dead.

''Getting closer to the boat [[Bree]] shapes some water to put out the fires. [[Kais]] searches the boat for loot, whilst [[Autun]] inspects the undead body. Upon closer inspection he determines that the being is not a litch as he first thought when it turned inside out. [[Ezri]] goes back to get the Irregulars boat before it drifts to far off. In the boat the group find a length of rope with a grappling hook attached. A couple of vials of poison potions for dipping arrowheads in. A golden ring that bears the insignia same house as [[Ilvara]], the Drow priestess that kept the group captured in [[Velkynvelve]]. Then there are some sundries in coin, crossbow bolts and arrows.''

As I return with our boat, rowing it together with [[Caius]], to the Drow vessel I see that they are finishing up looting and inspection. Kais says that he believes we are hunted and that these Drow where after us. So we decide to leave no trace of this fight for other to find. After getting everything of interest in our own boat we scuttle the enemy vessel and dispatch it to the bottom of the Darklake.

"Ezri," Autun motions me, "here, I found this amongst the belongings of the Drow, I think you will appreciate it." He hands me a necklace, made of fine silver and adorned with silver spider fangs.
"Awww Autun. I love it!" I cannot suppress a little squeak of joy as I take the necklace from the big guys hand and put it around my neck. I've been missing my torque ever since we were taken capture and put in that [[Velkynvelve]] cell, without it I always feel a little naked.

''The Irregulars head out again in the direction indicated by [[Shuushar]]. When the day reaches it's close the group encounters a sandbank sticking up from the waters. In the middle of it there is a big pile of rubble. More or less arranged in a low U-shaped wall. The Irregulars decide to go and inspect what is there...''

We beach the boat and get a first look at the pile of rubble. In the middle of the U-shape we find a set of cellar doors. Like the type one would expect on the outside of a large house outside of the city above ground. I inspect the doors and figure out these are not dwarven made, the crafstmanship is excellent, the doors almost seamless. But where dwarven doors would be plain and pure function, these are adorned with intricate patterns. "Look at all these carvings! no dwarf has made these. But who else in the Underdark has such skill and eye for beauty?" None of the Irregulars has an answer to that.

"Let's go in." [[Autun]] is determined to pull open the doors, only to be stopped by [[Kais]]. The Elf is as cautious as always.
"We don't know what is down there. And all these Underdark dungeons we've come across have contained threats."
Stopped in his motions. "I'll knock first." And the big guy's fist hits the door. Except for a loud ''thump'' we hear no sound emerging from below.

"Pucker up, [boat]!" We fold the boat and [[Autun]] pulls the doors open. We head down the staps and find ourselves in an 8 sided room. In the wall to the opposite side there is another set of double doors. However three of the rooms sides are adorned with engravings, each with a bench in front of it.

First the facets has an engraving depicting a dwarf with a long beard. Judging from his clothes and pose this must have been an important gnome. In his hands he holds a blue gem. The gem is seems to be glowing.

On the second wall there is a depiction of a short and stout figure, it looks like a gnome. This one is holding something that looks like a toy, which is glowing red.

On the opposite side of the room, just next of the new set of doors there is a plaque.

On the left wall the engraving depicts an elf, a surface elf even. He is holding a green bird. Which I find strange I haven't seen any birds down here. And I doubt that there are any birds at all. So why would there be a picture of an elf holding an bird?"

[[Shuushar]] reads the plaque on the far left wall.

-- Text of plaque goes here --

As soon as Shuushar finishes reading the doors in front of us open and the doors behind us close.

Caius tells us that [[the figure described in the plaque]] is the main deity of the gnomes.

We head through the newly opened doors and head down another set of stairs. At the bottom of we find ourselves in another faceted room. This time I count ten facets. In some of the walls there are ports, I see a total of six of them. Out of each of the ports a [[Carrion Crawler]] emerges. [[Kais]] casts an illusion of a rock which he hides behind, together with [[Jimjar]]. Given how intelligent these wormy creatures are I figure that they will actually be dumb enough not to fall for sudden rocks appearing in a room. I see [[Bree]] in the motions of casting faery fire and setting two of the crawlers aflame.

I figure out quick enough that these creatures will be out of range of my quarterstaff and Wildshape into my spider form. I crawl up the wall as quickly as I can to the nearest Carrion Crawler and drive my fangs into his body, delivering a dose of venom. He responds by biting back. A sudden rush of woozyness flows through my head, but I can shake it off. Damn, these ugly monsters have venom of their own. I need to stay clear of those fangs. In the corner of a couple of my eyes I see a few arrows flying from behind the illusionary rock. While [[Autun]]'s axe swings at another monster.

Suddenly a bright flash of light straight in front of me. That must have been one of [[Bree]]'s, hitting this creep in front of me. Still not death I bite again. I feel my fangs sinking in the flash and pull with all my might. I hear a the noise of skin ripping and flesh tearing. I pull away and rip the crawler's head from his body, throwing it across the room, followed by a gush of blood and go. Some of it hitting [[Caius]].

In my throw I see [[Autun]] getting bitten and standing still on the spot. He must not have been able to shake off the venom of the crawler he is engaged with. Immediately I shoot a web at his foe. Constricting the crawler and protecting our big guy. Action goes fast. Spells are cast and crawlers die from arrow, blades and magic. [[Autun]] seems to be able to get through the poison and chops the head of the restricted crawler with his axe.

As soon as the last carrion crawler dies they all vanish into thin air. Where they magic? An illusion? Another set of doors open and we head into the next room. Here we find ourselves in a room where the walls are adorned with large painted murals. Depicting forests, mountains and an actual sky with stars. A sight I never thought to see again. Even if it is just a painting.

The one with the longbow still remains standing, not looking harmed by the fire. [[Autun]] is able to knock and loose two arrows from his longbow. The first one misses, but the second one does find it's target. But still the archer remains standing up. It takes two more arrows from [[Kais]] and [[Jimjar]] to visibly hurt him, but still he remains standing upright.

I want to make this fight as short as possible and decide to cook the guy. I cast Heat Metal and see his armour starting to glow. Even without the goggles I see the breastplate turning dark yellow first, turning to the colour of cherries and ending up bright red within seconds. Then the Drow jumps overboard, resulting in a big cloud of steam coming from the water with the loudest hiss I ever heard steel make in a quench. I sigh and relax, if being roasted, steamed and boiled didn't kill this guy then surely he would drown in the Dark Lake, being weighed down by all his armour.

But then, a figure rises from the water and keeps rising until it is about 20 feet in the air. This guy ain't dead, oh man I hate all this magical shit where you can't even trust someone to be dead and stay dead. Immediately I see [[Autun]] loose two arrows at him. In his haste, and probably because he is surprised as I am, only one arrow lands on target. From my other side I see a blast of energy originating from [[Bree]], she must have cast an Eldritch Blast. Both bolts hit and I hear a horrendous sound of bones breaking and tearing through flesh and skin. I see the Drow turning inside out and turning undead. He has turned as far from being a living Drow as possible. [[Kais]] and [[Jimjar]] shoot another couple of arrows. It's Jimjar's final arrow that does him in. I see one arrow hitting straight between the eyes, pushing the now undead head against the mast. Closely followed by a second arrow splitting both the first arrow from knock till tip and the skull in two, spilling the zombie's brains all over the place. Finally he is really dead.

''Getting closer to the boat [[Bree]] shapes some water to put out the fires. [[Kais]] searches the boat for loot, whilst [[Autun]] inspects the undead body. Upon closer inspection he determines that the being is not a litch as he first thought when it turned inside out. [[Ezri]] goes back to get the Irregulars boat before it drifts to far off. In the boat the group find a length of rope with a grappling hook attached. A couple of vials of poison potions for dipping arrowheads in. A golden ring that bears the insignia same house as [[Ilvara]], the Drow priestess that kept the group captured in [[Velkynvelve]]. Then there are some sundries in coin, crossbow bolts and arrows.''

As I return with our boat, rowing it together with [[Caius]], to the Drow vessel I see that they are finishing up looting and inspection. Kais says that he believes we are hunted and that these Drow where after us. So we decide to leave no trace of this fight for other to find. After getting everything of interest in our own boat we scuttle the enemy vessel and dispatch it to the bottom of the Darklake.

"Ezri," Autun motions me, "here, I found this amongst the belongings of the Drow, I think you will appreciate it." He hands me a necklace, made of fine silver and adorned with silver spider fangs.
"Awww Autun. I love it!" I cannot suppress a little squeak of joy as I take the necklace from the big guys hand and put it around my neck. I've been missing my torque ever since we were taken capture and put in that [[Velkynvelve]] cell, without it I always feel a little naked.

''The Irregulars head out again in the direction indicated by [[Shuushar]]. When the day reaches it's close the group encounters a sandbank sticking up from the waters. In the middle of it there is a big pile of rubble. More or less arranged in a low U-shaped wall. The Irregulars decide to go and inspect what is there...''

We beach the boat and get a first look at the pile of rubble. In the middle of the U-shape we find a set of cellar doors. Like the type one would expect on the outside of a large house outside of the city above ground. I inspect the doors and figure out these are not dwarven made, the crafstmanship is excellent, the doors almost seamless. But where dwarven doors would be plain and pure function, these are adorned with intricate patterns. "Look at all these carvings! no dwarf has made these. But who else in the Underdark has such skill and eye for beauty?" None of the Irregulars has an answer to that.

"Let's go in." [[Autun]] is determined to pull open the doors, only to be stopped by [[Kais]]. The Elf is as cautious as always.
"We don't know what is down there. And all these Underdark dungeons we've come across have contained threats."
Stopped in his motions. "I'll knock first." And the big guy's fist hits the door. Except for a loud ''thump'' we hear no sound emerging from below.

"Pucker up, [boat]!" We fold the boat and [[Autun]] pulls the doors open. We head down the staps and find ourselves in an 8 sided room. In the wall to the opposite side there is another set of double doors. However three of the rooms sides are adorned with engravings, each with a bench in front of it.

First the facets has an engraving depicting a dwarf with a long beard. Judging from his clothes and pose this must have been an important gnome. In his hands he holds a blue gem. The gem is seems to be glowing.

On the second wall there is a depiction of a short and stout figure, it looks like a gnome. This one is holding something that looks like a toy, which is glowing red.

On the opposite side of the room, just next of the new set of doors there is a plaque.

On the left wall the engraving depicts an elf, a surface elf even. He is holding a green bird. Which I find strange I haven't seen any birds down here. And I doubt that there are any birds at all. So why would there be a picture of an elf holding an bird?"

[[Shuushar]] reads the plaque on the far left wall.

-- Text of plaque goes here --

As soon as Shuushar finishes reading the doors in front of us open and the doors behind us close.

Caius tells us that [[the figure described in the plaque]] is the main deity of the gnomes.

We head through the newly opened doors and head down another set of stairs. At the bottom of we find ourselves in another faceted room. This time I count ten facets. In some of the walls there are ports, I see a total of six of them. Out of each of the ports a [[Carrion Crawler]] emerges. [[Kais]] casts an illusion of a rock which he hides behind, together with [[Jimjar]]. Given how intelligent these wormy creatures are I figure that they will actually be dumb enough not to fall for sudden rocks appearing in a room. I see [[Bree]] in the motions of casting faery fire and setting two of the crawlers aflame.

I figure out quick enough that these creatures will be out of range of my quarterstaff and Wildshape into my spider form. I crawl up the wall as quickly as I can to the nearest Carrion Crawler and drive my fangs into his body, delivering a dose of venom. He responds by biting back. A sudden rush of woozyness flows through my head, but I can shake it off. Damn, these ugly monsters have venom of their own. I need to stay clear of those fangs. In the corner of a couple of my eyes I see a few arrows flying from behind the illusionary rock. While [[Autun]]'s axe swings at another monster.

Suddenly a bright flash of light straight in front of me. That must have been one of [[Bree]]'s, hitting this creep in front of me. Still not death I bite again. I feel my fangs sinking in the flash and pull with all my might. I hear a the noise of skin ripping and flesh tearing. I pull away and rip the crawler's head from his body, throwing it across the room, followed by a gush of blood and go. Some of it hitting [[Caius]].

In my throw I see [[Autun]] getting bitten and standing still on the spot. He must not have been able to shake off the venom of the crawler he is engaged with. Immediately I shoot a web at his foe. Constricting the crawler and protecting our big guy. Action goes fast. Spells are cast and crawlers die from arrow, blades and magic. [[Autun]] seems to be able to get through the poison and chops the head of the restricted crawler with his axe.

As soon as the last carrion crawler dies they all vanish into thin air. Where they magic? An illusion? Another set of doors open and we head into the next room. Here we find ourselves in a room where the walls are adorned with large painted murals. Depicting forests, mountains and an actual sky with stars. A sight I never thought to see again. Even if it is just a painting.

Ezri: /* Gained */

== Give us a Floater ==
''The day starts out with the Irregulars at the docks of [[Gracklestugh]], getting themselves ready for the journey to the city of the deep gnomes. Before departure the folding boat needs a christening nd be trained the commands to deploy and fold back up.''

Keeping the warning of Errde in mind that the boat will listen to any one we decide that the we will use languages that would be uncommon in the Underdark and use both Bree's halfling and [[Ezri]]'s druidic. Even with these languages we thought of words uncommon to be spoken in regular conversation.

The command given that will deploy the boat will be "Give us a floater, [boat]!" in halfling. Whilst the collapsing spell is "Pucker up, [boat]! I have to admit that I had to think hard on what that would be in druidic, most of the language is focused on nature and it's doings, however bodily functions are not commonly described. Both Bree and I spend some time to teach the rest the words, albeit phonetically, so they can command the boat as necessary. Except [[Caius]], who has put in a bit too much effort in showing off at the inn last night, as bards do *sigh*, and lost his voice. Bree and I will teach him later.

We deploy our boat and it's presented to us as a small sailboat, I think I recall one of the fishermen in the taverns of Waterdeep to call this a cat boat. It's a little larger than our previous vessel and it actually has a sail. Which will make our travelling a little more comfortable -Not that I mind the workout of rowing, need to keep in shape mind you!- However the winds are not kind to us to day and the sail would be useless, so we head out with [[Autun]] at the oars and [[Shuushar]] taking his familiar role as guide at the rudder. I take it easy for now, still a little exhausted and even a bit sore after my goodbye with that Drow seamstress.

Meanwhile I see Bree with a book, I believe it's the book of spells we got from [[Nerrick]]'s chest. Whilst I see [[Kais]] performing some sort of spell. Out of the dark suddenly a bat comes flying towards us. I heare some flapping and see the shadow circle around the boat a couple of times before it settles itself hanging upside down from the boom.

After a couple fo hours it's time to relieve [[Autun]] of his rowing duty. I make [[Caius]] take one oar, while taking the other myself and start rowing. [[Rumpadump]] then grabs [[Caius]]'s drum and starts drumming something that has to be a rhythm, jumping up and down in order to hit the skin hard enough. Cute as the little guy me be, his sense of timing is off even more than that the of the bard who is silently rowing by my side. [[Autun]] helps by clapping and giving both Rumpadump and us some useful guidance.

The day and night go by uneventful. It's promising to be another long journey on the dark lake. I'm wondering how big is this [[Underdark]] anyway? It's way too big to be a regular cave and this [[Darklake]] is more like a dark ocean.

The second day [[Kais]] sends out his bat. He explained that the spell he performed yesterday is a ritual called [[Find Familiar]] and conjures a spirit that takes the shape of an animal. Which explains the bat lounging on our boom. [[Kais]] tells the bat will obey his commands and the will also be able to see through his eyes and hear through his ears. I reckon it's somewhat similar to my wildshaping abilities where I gain all the senses of the animal I turn into. Though [[Kais]] just connects telepathically with the bat, his own body will still be his own Elven self. After a little while [[Kais]] and his bat tells us that the waters are clear for as far as the bat could fly.

''At the back of the boat Bree is starting to look more and more distressed. Suddenly she starts speaking in tongues. Audibly none of the [[Irregulars]] is able to understand any of what she says, but Bree is panicking more by the second. Through Rumpadump it becomes clear that she is screaming for help and it requires all of [[Autun]]'s strength to hold her down and calm her. In the process [[Autun]] notices that Bree's shoulder that has been burnt by the angry dragon back in [[Gracklestugh]] now has scales instead of skin''

When [[Autun]] finally has calmed Bree down enough that she regains her composure she starts telling us what is going on. Apparently her patron was rather unhappy about us upsetting a dragon eventually resulting in his demise and decided to punish Bree for her part in this. Her patron turned Bree in part [[halfling]] part [[dragonkind]] sorcerer. I wonder, would that make her a ''quarterling'' then?

"I don't need any of this any more!" shouts Bree as she starts doffing her armour and undressing herself. It shows that not only her shoulder but about half her body is covered with dragon scales. I also note that she is wearing some pretty underthings that look suspiciously like what [[Urmedara]] was wearing during our last night in [[Gracklestugh]] (well at least she started the evening wearing those things...).

"Hey, did you steal that from my girlfriend!?" I call her out. [[Kais]] intervenes and says that Bree probably bought herself some nice things in the market. [[Jimjar]] again is puzzled and mutters something about 'girlfriends doing girlthings'. He clearly has no clue about love and a girl's needs.

Meanwhile Bree has covered up and it's suggested that I put my skills to use making some leather armour for Rumpadump, giving the little [[Myconid]] a little more protection from the dangers we're bound to encounter. It'll also give me something to do, Shuushar reckons that it will take us about three ten-days to get to the city of the Deep Gnomes.

As night falls we set up watches and get ourselves as comfortable as we can for the night. When I wake up I notice that the sail has been deployed. Bree tells that she woke up Shuushar to help with that Earlier in the night, as the wind picked up. I spend some more time fitting Rumpadump his armour while [[Autun]] tries his luck at fishing. But the only thing he catches is some seaweeds, or more like lake weeds actually, that Shuushar calls dazbood weeds.

On it's scouting flight [[Kais]]' bat, and Kais with it, sees a boat not far from our own. Kais tells us that this boat is likely to be a bit larger than ours and has somwhere between 4-10 creatures in it that are more or less average sized. Bats are apparently no good at math, or denomination of species. I have bad feeling about this. We turn the boat in the direction of the other vessel and make haste [[Autun]] takes the oars, [[Kais]] uses Mage Hand giving the boat an extra push.

"You know what is about a foot long and sounds like a sneeze?!" [[Rumpadump]] suddenly shouts. "A SHOE!!" Shh! I can't help but laugh, so do the others, even as it is the corniest joke ever. Even the drunken sailors in the worst bars of [[Waterdeep]] tell better jokes. Even though it takes us all of our self discipline to regain our composure. As soon as we are able to stop laughing I hear the typical swooooosh followed by a twoingngngng of an arrow hitting our boat, by the looks of it, it is Drow. I've got a bad feeling about this..

Having hostiles coming closer we act fast. Bree casts a spell enabling all of us to walk on water. I touch Autun to give him darkvision, wearing the darkvision goggles myself. Leaving Rumpadum, Shuushar and Caius in the boat we set foot on water and make our way towards the other boat.

I'm not having any of this and start the fight by casting a Lightning Bolt straight at the port side of the ship, where I see three Drow holding crossbows at the ready. I see the bright lights shooting from my fingertips. Speeding towards the boat with a roaring thunder, that even on this vast open space seems to echo. The bolt hits and passes unhindered through the hostiles on the port side. In the last bits of light I see three clouds of ashes slowly swirling towards the deck. Right before my feet I hear a faint splash of something hitting the water. I'm sure it's another arrow from that archer.

[[Bree]] seems to be of the same mind as I am, as I see her performing a spell and instantaneously a big ball of fire appears above the remaining two Drow, setting the sails alight and killing the last crossbowman. The one with the longbow still remains standing, not looking harmed by the fire. [[Autun]] is able to knock and loose two arrows from his longbow. The first one misses, but the second one does find it's target. But still the archer remains standing up. It takes two more arrows from [[Kais]] and [[Jimjar]] to visibly hurt him, but still he remains standing upright.

I want to make this fight as short as possible and decide to cook the guy. I cast Heat Metal and see his armour starting to glow. Even without the goggles I see the breastplate turning dark yellow first, turning to the colour of cherries and ending up bright red within seconds. Then the Drow jumps overboard, resulting in a big cloud of steam coming from the water with the loudest hiss I ever heard steel make in a quench. I sigh and relax, if being roasted, steamed and boiled didn't kill this guy then surely he would drown in the Dark Lake, being weighed down by all his armour.

But then, a figure rises from the water and keeps rising until it is about 20 feet in the air. This guy ain't dead, oh man I hate all this magical shit where you can't even trust someone to be dead and stay dead. Immediately I see [[Autun]] loose two arrows at him. In his haste, and probably because he is surprised as I am, only one arrow lands on target. From my other side I see a blast of energy originating from [[Bree]], she must have cast an Eldritch Blast. Both bolts hit and I hear a horrendous sound of bones breaking and tearing through flesh and skin. I see the Drow turning inside out and turning undead. He has turned as far from being a living Drow as possible. [[Kais]] and [[Jimjar]] shoot another couple of arrows. It's Jimjar's final arrow that does him in. I see one arrow hitting straight between the eyes, pushing the now undead head against the mast. Closely followed by a second arrow splitting both the first arrow from knock till tip and the skull in two, spilling the zombie's brains all over the place. Finally he is really dead.

''Getting closer to the boat [[Bree]] shapes some water to put out the fires. [[Kais]] searches the boat for loot, whilst [[Autun]] inspects the undead body.

"Ezri," Autun motions me, "here, I found this amongst the belongings of the Drow, I think you will appreciate it." He hands me a necklace, made of fine silver and adorned with silver spider fangs.
"Awww Autun. I love it!" I cannot suppress a little squeak of joy as I take the necklace from the big guys hand and put it around my neck. I've been missing my torque ever since we were taken capture and put in that [[Velkynvelve]] cell, without it I always feel a little naked.

''The Irregulars head out again in the direction indicated by [[Shuushar]]. When the day reaches it's close the group encounters a sandbank sticking up from the waters. In the middle of it there is a big pile of rubble. More or less arranged in a low U-shaped wall. The Irregulars decide to go and inspect what is there...''

It'll also give me something to do, Shuushar reckons that it will take us about three ten-days to get to the city of the Deep Gnomes.

As night falls we set up watches and get ourselves as comfortable as we can for the night. When I wake up I notice that the sail has been deployed. Bree tells that she woke up Shuushar to help with that Earlier in the night, as the wind picked up. I spend some more time fitting Rumpadump his armour while [[Autun]] tries his luck at fishing. But the only thing he catches is some seaweeds, or more like lake weeds actually, that Shuushar calls dazbood weeds.

On it's scouting flight [[Kais]]' bat, and Kais with it, sees a boat not far from our own. Kais tells us that this boat is likely to be a bit larger than ours and has somwhere between 4-10 creatures in it that are more or less average sized. Bats are apparently no good at math, or denomination of species. I have bad feeling about this. We turn the boat in the direction of the other vessel and make haste [[Autun]] takes the oars, [[Kais]] uses Mage Hand giving the boat an extra push.

"You know what is about a foot long and sounds like a sneeze?!" [[Rumpadump]] suddenly shouts. "A SHOE!!" Shh! I can't help but laugh, so do the others, even as it is the corniest joke ever. Even the drunken sailors in the worst bars of [[Waterdeep]] tell better jokes. Even though it takes us all of our self discipline to regain our composure. As soon as we are able to stop laughing I hear the typical swooooosh followed by a twoingngngng of an arrow hitting our boat, by the looks of it, it is Drow. I've got a bad feeling about this..

Having hostiles coming closer we act fast. Bree casts a spell enabling all of us to walk on water. I touch Autun to give him darkvision, wearing the darkvision goggles myself. Leaving Rumpadum, Shuushar and Caius in the boat we set foot on water and make our way towards the other boat.

I'm not having any of this and start the fight by casting a Lightning Bolt straight at the port side of the ship, where I see three Drow holding crossbows at the ready. I see the bright lights shooting from my fingertips. Speeding towards the boat with a roaring thunder, that even on this vast open space seems to echo. The bolt hits and passes unhindered through the hostiles on the port side. In the last bits of light I see three clouds of ashes slowly swirling towards the deck. Right before my feet I hear a faint splash of something hitting the water. I'm sure it's another arrow from that archer.

[[Bree]] seems to be of the same mind as I am, as I see her performing a spell and instantaneously a big ball of fire appears above the remaining two Drow, setting the sails alight and killing the last crossbowman. The one with the longbow still remains standing, not looking harmed by the fire. [[Autun]] is able to knock and loose two arrows from his longbow. The first one misses, but the second one does find it's target. But still the archer remains standing up. It takes two more arrows from [[Kais]] and [[Jimjar]] to visibly hurt him, but still he remains standing upright.

I want to make this fight as short as possible and decide to cook the guy. I cast Heat Metal and see his armour starting to glow. Even without the goggles I see the breastplate turning dark yellow first, turning to the colour of cherries and ending up bright red within seconds. Then the Drow jumps overboard, resulting in a big cloud of steam coming from the water with the loudest hiss I ever heard steel make in a quench. I sigh and relax, if being roasted, steamed and boiled didn't kill this guy then surely he would drown in the Dark Lake, being weighed down by all his armour.

But then, a figure rises from the water and keeps rising until it is about 20 feet in the air. This guy ain't dead, oh man I hate all this magical shit where you can't even trust someone to be dead and stay dead. Immediately I see [[Autun]] loose two arrows at him. In his haste, and probably because he is surprised as I am, only one arrow lands on target. From my other side I see a blast of energy originating from [[Bree]], she must have cast an Eldritch Blast. Both bolts hit and I hear a horrendous sound of bones breaking and tearing through flesh and skin. I see the Drow turning inside out and turning undead. He has turned as far from being a living Drow as possible. [[Kais]] and [[Jimjar]] shoot another couple of arrows. It's Jimjar's final arrow that does him in. I see one arrow hitting straight between the eyes, pushing the now undead head against the mast. Closely followed by a second arrow splitting both the first arrow from knock till tip and the skull in two, spilling the zombie's brains all over the place. Finally he is really dead.

''Getting closer to the boat [[Bree]] shapes some water to put out the fires. [[Kais]] searches the boat for loot, whilst [[Autun]] inspects the undead body. Upon closer inspection he determines that the being is not a litch as he first thought when it turned inside out. [[Ezri]] goes back to get the Irregulars boat before it drifts to far off. In the boat the group find a length of rope with a grappling hook attached. A couple of vials of poison potions for dipping arrowheads in. A golden ring that bears the insignia same house as [[Ilvara]], the Drow priestess that kept the group captured in [[Velkynvelve]]. Then there are some sundries in coin, crossbow bolts and arrows.''

As I return with our boat, rowing it together with [[Caius]], to the Drow vessel I see that they are finishing up looting and inspection. Kais says that he believes we are hunted and that these Drow where after us. So we decide to leave no trace of this fight for other to find. After getting everything of interest in our own boat we scuttle the enemy vessel and dispatch it to the bottom of the Darklake.

"Ezri," Autun motions me, "here, I found this amongst the belongings of the Drow, I think you will appreciate it." He hands me a necklace, made of fine silver and adorned with silver spider fangs.
"Awww Autun. I love it!" I cannot suppress a little squeak of joy as I take the necklace from the big guys hand and put it around my neck. I've been missing my torque ever since we were taken capture and put in that [[Velkynvelve]] cell, without it I always feel a little naked.

''The Irregulars head out again in the direction indicated by [[Shuushar]]. When the day reaches it's close the group encounters a sandbank sticking up from the waters. In the middle of it there is a big pile of rubble. More or less arranged in a low U-shaped wall. The Irregulars decide to go and inspect what is there...''

We beach the boat and get a first look at the pile of rubble. In the middle of the U-shape we find a set of cellar doors. Like the type one would expect on the outside of a large house outside of the city above ground. I inspect the doors and figure out these are not dwarven made, the crafstmanship is excellent, the doors almost seamless. But where dwarven doors would be plain and pure function, these are adorned with intricate patterns. "Look at all these carvings! no dwarf has made these. But who else in the Underdark has such skill and eye for beauty?" None of the Irregulars has an answer to that.

"Let's go in." [[Autun]] is determined to pull open the doors, only to be stopped by [[Kais]]. The Elf is as cautious as always.
"We don't know what is down there. And all these Underdark dungeons we've come across have contained threats."
Stopped in his motions. "I'll knock first." And the big guy's fist hits the door. Except for a loud ''thump'' we hear no sound emerging from below.

"Pucker up, [boat]!" We fold the boat and [[Autun]] pulls the doors open. We head down the staps and find ourselves in an 8 sided room. In the wall to the opposite side there is another set of double doors. However three of the rooms sides are adorned with engravings, each with a bench in front of it.

First the facets has an engraving depicting a dwarf with a long beard. Judging from his clothes and pose this must have been an important gnome. In his hands he holds a blue gem. The gem is seems to be glowing.

On the second wall there is a depiction of a short and stout figure, it looks like a gnome. This one is holding something that looks like a toy, which is glowing red.

On the opposite side of the room, just next of the new set of doors there is a plaque.

On the left wall the engraving depicts an elf, a surface elf even. He is holding a green bird. Which I find strange I haven't seen any birds down here. And I doubt that there are any birds at all. So why would there be a picture of an elf holding an bird?"

[[Shuushar]] reads the plaque on the far left wall.

-- Text of plaque goes here --

As soon as Shuushar finishes reading the doors in front of us open and the doors behind us close.

Caius tells us that [[the figure described in the plaque]] is the main deity of the gnomes.

We head through the newly opened doors and head down another set of stairs. At the bottom of we find ourselves in another faceted room. This time I count ten facets. In some of the walls there are ports, I see a total of six of them. Out of each of the ports a [[Carrion Crawler]] emerges. [[Kais]] casts an illusion of a rock which he hides behind, together with [[Jimjar]]. Given how intelligent these wormy creatures are I figure that they will actually be dumb enough not to fall for sudden rocks appearing in a room. I see [[Bree]] in the motions of casting faery fire and setting two of the crawlers aflame.

I figure out quick enough that these creatures will be out of range of my quarterstaff and Wildshape into my spider form. I crawl up the wall as quickly as I can to the nearest Carrion Crawler and drive my fangs into his body, delivering a dose of venom. He responds by biting back. A sudden rush of woozyness flows through my head, but I can shake it off. Damn, these ugly monsters have venom of their own. I need to stay clear of those fangs. In the corner of a couple of my eyes I see a few arrows flying from behind the illusionary rock. While [[Autun]]'s axe swings at another monster.

Suddenly a bright flash of light straight in front of me. That must have been one of [[Bree]]'s, hitting this creep in front of me. Still not death I bite again. I feel my fangs sinking in the flash and pull with all my might. I hear a the noise of skin ripping and flesh tearing. I pull away and rip the crawler's head from his body, throwing it across the room, followed by a gush of blood and go. Some of it hitting [[Caius]].

In my throw I see [[Autun]] getting bitten and standing still on the spot. He must not have been able to shake off the venom of the crawler he is engaged with. Immediately I shoot a web at his foe. Constricting the crawler and protecting our big guy. Action goes fast. Spells are cast and crawlers die from arrow, blades and magic. [[Autun]] seems to be able to get through the poison and chops the head of the restricted crawler with his axe.

As soon as the last carrion crawler dies they all vanish into thin air. Where they magic? An illusion? Another set of doors open and we head into the next room. Here we find ourselves in a room where the walls are adorned with large painted murals. Depicting forests, mountains and an actual sky with stars. A sight I never thought to see again. Even if it is just a painting.

Ezri:

== Give us a Floater ==
''The day starts out with the Irregulars at the docks of [[Gracklestugh]], getting themselves ready for the journey to the city of the deep gnomes. Before departure the folding boat needs a christening nd be trained the commands to deploy and fold back up.''

Keeping the warning of Errde in mind that the boat will listen to any one we decide that the we will use languages that would be uncommon in the Underdark and use both Bree's halfling and [[Ezri]]'s druidic. Even with these languages we thought of words uncommon to be spoken in regular conversation.

The command given that will deploy the boat will be "Give us a floater, [boat]!" in halfling. Whilst the collapsing spell is "Pucker up, [boat]! I have to admit that I had to think hard on what that would be in druidic, most of the language is focused on nature and it's doings, however bodily functions are not commonly described. Both Bree and I spend some time to teach the rest the words, albeit phonetically, so they can command the boat as necessary. Except [[Caius]], who has put in a bit too much effort in showing off at the inn last night, as bards do *sigh*, and lost his voice. Bree and I will teach him later.

We deploy our boat and it's presented to us as a small sailboat, I think I recall one of the fishermen in the taverns of Waterdeep to call this a cat boat. It's a little larger than our previous vessel and it actually has a sail. Which will make our travelling a little more comfortable -Not that I mind the workout of rowing, need to keep in shape mind you!- However the winds are not kind to us to day and the sail would be useless, so we head out with [[Autun]] at the oars and [[Shuushar]] taking his familiar role as guide at the rudder. I take it easy for now, still a little exhausted and even a bit sore after my goodbye with that Drow seamstress.

Meanwhile I see Bree with a book, I believe it's the book of spells we got from [[Nerrick]]'s chest. Whilst I see [[Kais]] performing some sort of spell. Out of the dark suddenly a bat comes flying towards us. I heare some flapping and see the shadow circle around the boat a couple of times before it settles itself hanging upside down from the boom.

After a couple fo hours it's time to relieve [[Autun]] of his rowing duty. I make [[Caius]] take one oar, while taking the other myself and start rowing. [[Rumpadump]] then grabs [[Caius]]'s drum and starts drumming something that has to be a rhythm, jumping up and down in order to hit the skin hard enough. Cute as the little guy me be, his sense of timing is off even more than that the of the bard who is silently rowing by my side. [[Autun]] helps by clapping and giving both Rumpadump and us some useful guidance.

The day and night go by uneventful. It's promising to be another long journey on the dark lake. I'm wondering how big is this [[Underdark]] anyway? It's way too big to be a regular cave and this [[Darklake]] is more like a dark ocean.

The second day [[Kais]] sends out his bat. He explained that the spell he performed yesterday is a ritual called [[Find Familiar]] and conjures a spirit that takes the shape of an animal. Which explains the bat lounging on our boom. [[Kais]] tells the bat will obey his commands and the will also be able to see through his eyes and hear through his ears. I reckon it's somewhat similar to my wildshaping abilities where I gain all the senses of the animal I turn into. Though [[Kais]] just connects telepathically with the bat, his own body will still be his own Elven self. After a little while [[Kais]] and his bat tells us that the waters are clear for as far as the bat could fly.

''At the back of the boat Bree is starting to look more and more distressed. Suddenly she starts speaking in tongues. Audibly none of the [[Irregulars]] is able to understand any of what she says, but Bree is panicking more by the second. Through Rumpadump it becomes clear that she is screaming for help and it requires all of [[Autun]]'s strength to hold her down and calm her. In the process [[Autun]] notices that Bree's shoulder that has been burnt by the angry dragon back in [[Gracklestugh]] now has scales instead of skin''

When [[Autun]] finally has calmed Bree down enough that she regains her composure she starts telling us what is going on. Apparently her patron was rather unhappy about us upsetting a dragon eventually resulting in his demise and decided to punish Bree for her part in this. Her patron turned Bree in part [[halfling]] part [[dragonkind]] sorcerer. I wonder, would that make her a ''quarterling'' then?

"I don't need any of this any more!" shouts Bree as she starts doffing her armour and undressing herself. It shows that not only her shoulder but about half her body is covered with dragon scales. I also note that she is wearing some pretty underthings that look suspiciously like what [[Urmedara]] was wearing during our last night in [[Gracklestugh]] (well at least she started the evening wearing those things...).

"Hey, did you steal that from my girlfriend!?" I call her out. [[Kais]] intervenes and says that Bree probably bought herself some nice things in the market. [[Jimjar]] again is puzzled and mutters something about 'girlfriends doing girlthings'. He clearly has no clue about love and a girl's needs.

Meanwhile Bree has covered up and it's suggested that I put my skills to use making some leather armour for Rumpadump, giving the little [[Myconid]] a little more protection from the dangers we're bound to encounter. It'll also give me something to do, Shuushar reckons that it will take us about three ten-days to get to the city of the Deep Gnomes.

Bree tells that she woke up Shuushar to help with that Earlier in the night, as the wind picked up. I spend some more time fitting Rumpadump his armour while [[Autun]] tries his luck at fishing. But the only thing he catches is some seaweeds, or more like lake weeds actually, that Shuushar calls dazbood weeds.

On it's scouting flight [[Kais]]' bat, and Kais with it, sees a boat not far from our own. Kais tells us that this boat is likely to be a bit larger than ours and has somwhere between 4-10 creatures in it that are more or less average sized. Bats are apparently no good at math, or denomination of species. I have bad feeling about this. We turn the boat in the direction of the other vessel and make haste [[Autun]] takes the oars, [[Kais]] uses Mage Hand giving the boat an extra push.

"You know what is about a foot long and sounds like a sneeze?!" [[Rumpadump]] suddenly shouts. "A SHOE!!" Shh! I can't help but laugh, so do the others, even as it is the corniest joke ever. Even the drunken sailors in the worst bars of [[Waterdeep]] tell better jokes. Even though it takes us all of our self discipline to regain our composure. As soon as we are able to stop laughing I hear the typical swooooosh followed by a twoingngngng of an arrow hitting our boat, by the looks of it, it is Drow. I've got a bad feeling about this..

I see the bright lights shooting from my fingertips. Speeding towards the boat with a roaring thunder, that even on this vast open space seems to echo. The bolt hits and passes unhindered through the hostiles on the port side. In the last bits of light I see three clouds of ashes slowly swirling towards the deck. Right before my feet I hear a faint splash of something hitting the water. I'm sure it's another arrow from that archer.

After a little while [[Kais]] and his bat tells us that the waters are clear for as far as the bat could fly.

''At the back of the boat Bree is starting to look more and more distressed. Suddenly she starts speaking in tongues. Audibly none of the [[Irregulars]] is able to understand any of what she says, but Bree is panicking more by the second. Through Rumpadump it becomes clear that she is screaming for help and it requires all of [[Autun]]'s strength to hold her down and calm her. In the process [[Autun]] notices that Bree's shoulder that has been burnt by the angry dragon back in [[Gracklestugh]] now has scales instead of skin''

When [[Autun]] finally has calmed Bree down enough that she regains her composure she starts telling us what is going on. Apparently her patron was rather unhappy about us upsetting a dragon eventually resulting in his demise and decided to punish Bree for her part in this. Her patron turned Bree in part [[halfling]] part [[dragonkind]] sorcerer. I wonder, would that make her a ''quarterling'' then?

"I don't need any of this any more!" shouts Bree as she starts doffing her armour and undressing herself. It shows that not only her shoulder but about half her body is covered with dragon scales. I also note that she is wearing some pretty underthings that look suspiciously like what [[Urmedara]] was wearing during our last night in [[Gracklestugh]] (well at least she started the evening wearing those things...).

"Hey, did you steal that from my girlfriend!?" I call her out. [[Kais]] intervenes and says that Bree probably bought herself some nice things in the market. [[Jimjar]] again is puzzled and mutters something about 'girlfriends doing girlthings'. He clearly has no clue about love and a girl's needs.

Meanwhile Bree has covered up and it's suggested that I put my skills to use making some leather armour for Rumpadump, giving the little [[Myconid]] a little more protection from the dangers we're bound to encounter. It'll also give me something to do, Shuushar reckons that it will take us about three ten-days to get to the city of the Deep Gnomes.

As night falls we set up watches and get ourselves as comfortable as we can for the night. When I wake up I notice that the sail has been deployed. Bree tells that she woke up Shuushar to help with that Earlier in the night, as the wind picked up. I spend some more time fitting Rumpadump his armour while [[Autun]] tries his luck at fishing. But the only thing he catches is some seaweeds, or more like lake weeds actually, that Shuushar calls dazbood weeds.

On it's scouting flight [[Kais]]' bat, and Kais with it, sees a boat not far from our own. Kais tells us that this boat is likely to be a bit larger than ours and has somwhere between 4-10 creatures in it that are more or less average sized. Bats are apparently no good at math, or denomination of species. I have bad feeling about this. We turn the boat in the direction of the other vessel and make haste [[Autun]] takes the oars, [[Kais]] uses Mage Hand giving the boat an extra push.

"You know what is about a foot long and brown?!" [[Rumpadump]] suddenly shouts. "A SHOE!!" Shh! I can't help but laugh, so do the others, even as it is the corniest joke ever. Even the drunken sailors in the worst bars of [[Waterdeep]] tell better jokes. Even though it takes us all of our selfdiscipline to regain our composure. As soon as we are able to stop laughing I hear the typical swooooosh followed by a twoingngngng of an arrow hitting our boat, by the looks of it, it is Drow. I've got a bad feeling about this..

Having hostiles coming closer we act fast. Bree casts a spell enabling all of us to walk on water. I touch Autun to give him darkvision, wearing the darkvision goggles myself. Leaving Rumpadum, Shuushar and Caius in the boat we set foot on water and make our way towards the other boat.

I'm not having any of this and start the fight by casting a Lightning Bolt straight at the port side of the ship, where I see three Drow holding crossbows at the ready. I see the bright lights shooting from my fingertips. Speeding towards the boat with a roaring thunder, that even on this vast open space seems to echo. The bolt hits and passes unhindered through the hostiles on the port side. In the last bits of light I see three clouds of ashes slowly swirling towards the deck. Right before my feed I hear a faint splosh of something hitting the water. I'm sure it's another arrow from that archer.

[[Bree]] seems to be of the same mind as I am, as I see her performing a spell and instantaneously a big ball of fire appears above the remaining two Drow, setting the sails alight and killing the last crossbowman. The one with the longbow still remains standing, not looking harmed by the fire. [[Autun]] is able to knock and loose two arrows from his longbow. The first one misses, but the second one does finds it's target. But still the archer remains standing up. It takes two more arrows from [[Kais]] and [[Jimjar]] to visibly hurt him, but still he remains standing upright.

I want to make this fight as short as possible and decide to cook the guy. I cast Heat Metal and see his armour starting to glow. Even without the goggles I see the breastplate turning dark yellow first, turning to the colour of cherries and ending up bright red within seconds. Then the Drow jumps overboard, resulting in a big cloud of steam coming from the water with the loudest hiss I ever heard steel make in a quench. I sigh and relax, if being roasted, steamed and boiled didn't kill this guy then surely he would drown in the Dark Lake, being weighed down by all his armour.

But then, a figure rises from the water and keeps rising until it is about 20 feet in the air. This guy ain't dead, oh man I hate all this magical shit where you can't even trust someone to be dead and stay dead. Immediately I see [[Autun]] loose two arrows at him. In his haste, and probably because he is surprised as I am, only one arrow lands on target. From my other side I see a blast of energy originating from [[Bree]], she must have cast an Eldridge Blast. Both bolts hit and I hear a horrendous sound of bones breaking and tearing through flesh and skin. I see the Drow turning inside out and turning undead. He has turned as far from being a living Drow as possible. [[Kais]] and [[Jimjar]] shoot another couple of arrows. It's Jimjar's final arrow that does him in. I one arrow hitting straight between the eyes, pushing the now undead head against the mast. Closely followed by a second arrow splitting both the first arrow from knock till tip and the skull in two, spilling the zombie's brains all over the place. Finally he is really dead.

''Getting closer to the boat [[Bree]] shapes some water to put out the fires. [[Kais]] searches the boat for loot, whilst [[Autun]] inspects the undead body. Upon closer inspection he determines that the being is not a litch as he first thought when it turned inside out. [[Ezri]] goes back to get the Irregulars boat before it drifts to far off. In the boat the group find a length of rope with a grappling hook attached. A couple of vials of poison potions for dipping arrowheads in. A golden ring that bears the insignia same house as [[Ilvara]], the Drow priestess that kept the group captured in [[Velkynvelve]]. Then there are some sundries in coin, crossbow bolts and arrows.''

As I return with our boat, rowing it together with [[Caius]], to the Drow vessel I see that they are finishing up looting and inspection. Kais says that he believes we are hunted and that these Drow where after us. So we decide to leave no trace of this fight for other to find. After getting everything of interest in our own boat we scuttle the enemy vessel and dispatch it to the bottom of the Darklake.

"Ezri," Autun motions me, "here, I found this amongst the belongings of the Drow, I think you will appreciate it." He hands me a necklace, made of fine silver and adorned with silver spider fangs.
"Awww Autun. I love it!" I cannot suppress a little squeak of joy as I take the necklace from the big guys hand and put it around my neck. I've been missing my torque ever since we were taken capture and put in that [[Velkynvelve]] cell, without it I always feel a little naked.

''The Irregulars head out again in the direction indicated by [[Shuushar]]. When the day reaches it's close the group encounters a sandbank sticking up from the waters. In the middle of it there is a big pile of rubble. More or less arranged in a low U-shaped wall. The Irregulars decide to go and inspect what is there...''

''Next installement will hopefully follow tomorrow. Stay tuned!''

Ezri:

After half a night and half a morning worth of sleep our adventurers head out for the day.

Autun goes of to the Stoneguard and is joined by Ezri. There he reports about the letter and all our observations and side to Urdy. Urdy tells that she already suspected Lorthio being corrupt and part of the Grey Ghosts. She also is convinced that the Ghosts are responsible for stealing the dragon egg. Given all the stories Urdy is afraid that it will come to war between the Keepers of the Flame and the Grey Ghosts.

For the information and evidence of corruption within the Stoneguard Urdy pays the promised 150 gold pieces. She also wants to see Werz come in to testify. In addition she requires Droky to be brought to her for questioning.

Meanwhile Bree stays in the Inn, brewing the potions for which she got the ingredients from Lorthio's lair.

Kais and Caius head out to the market in order to gather more information and to buy some new vials for Bree's potions. So that when we use or get caught with the potions the vials won't betray that we were in Lorthio's lab.

In the market Kais notices that one of the leather merchants isn't al straight in the head. His prices vary wildly within the conversation. Especially when Caius buys himself a new belt, one with a hidden pocket. Whilst in the market they spot a herd of tarantulas being driven through the district. Some of the spiders being ridden by Grew Dwarves herding the spiders/

Back in the Inn the landlord also passes on a message that our group should go to the Silversmiths alley and that they visit the third silversmith. In a little shed behind the shop Autun finds Wertz and convinces him to testify in front of Urdy. Ensuring that Stools Irregulars will protect him from harm Werz gifts Autun two rings.

When our group is in the the smiths shoppe, Bree stays outside on the lookout being invisible. There she spots Droky shimmying past and she starts to pursue him. That is until she sees Droky hitching himself a ride on the underside of a cart leaving the city walls.

Autun heads back to the Stoneguard to make a new appointment with Urdy. This time for her to speak with Wertz.

Kais heads back to the market and tries to learn more about the leather merchant that seems to have lost his mind. Eventually he finds out that the merchant lost his son in a mining accident. About 3 10 days ago there has been an explosion in the mines near the city. Mining accidents aren't that uncommon, but this time no bodies of the missing miners have been found. The grieve of the sudden disappearance of the merchants son drove him to his current state of madness.

Back at the Inn our group reconvenes. Bree shows up and tells about Droky sneaking out of the city. Ezri, knowing a bit about leather inspects Caius' new belt and determines it to be genuine surface-cow leather. She also notices it to be not that old, telling her that the leather merchant must have source for surface goods.

In his drink Kais notices a message. Thieves signals for 'Silence' and 'Death'. Kais quickly figures out that it's a warning for Kaius to be quit about all the things happening in the city. Sharing this with the group Ezri pulls out her axe, putting it against the throat of the bard ensuring that he understands the seriousness of the warning. Secretly she's happy to finally have a proper reason to make the pompous prick shut up.

After dinner the group retires to their rooms for the night. Caius a little hesitant to again share a room with Ezri. Due to the warning Bree casts an alarm spell on the room of Caius and Ezri.

It's another night of dreams.
* Rumpadum dreams of soft pretty colours.
* Autun dreams of numerous baby critters of the woods. Howver they all have extra extremities or ohter strange and horrible mutations
* Bree dreams of wandering throuhg her village, returning all the goods she has stolen over the years back to where they belong. Giving her a great sense of accomplishment.
* Caius dreams of a visit to the barber, having his glorious beard trimmed. Somehow Ezri is doing the shaving and he feels totally comfortable with that.
* Ezri dreams that she is back in the workshop, working on her journeyman's piece. When her hand slowly merges with the chisel she is holding and her arm turns into wood up to her shoulder.
* Jimjar dreams of being in house and surrounded by knitting needles.
* Shuushar dreams of walking through a never ending marketplace.
* Kais doesn't dream of anything, meditating in stead of sleeping.

In the morning Bree gets awakened by the alarming spell she cast last night. Waking up Autun, who dons his armour in record time and having his axe in hand charges into Caius' and Ezri's room. Only to find the two humans still asleep, waking them op in an alarmed state and with Ezri having her hand axe, she apparently sleeps with it, at the ready.

On the floor they find a note that must have been slipped under the door, setting off the alarm. The note written in the Dwarfish language reads: "Follow the surface trail."

Ezri:

Refreshed from the good night's sleep under Caius magical dome our adventurers head out to the de Dwarven city of Gracklestugh. Nearing midday they encounter a great wall that appears to be seamless. As they approach the wall out of nowhere small openings appear, openings that are suspiciously arrowvslit shaped. Caius our always merry bard shouts out a greeting that lands on nothing but blank wall. When the adventures get close a new opening appears, this one at eye level.

With no one in the group that speaks Dwarfish Caius tries to communicate with him anyway, trying the universal language of gold. Depositing a few coppers in the hand of the guarding dwarves the bard proves that he has a terrible accent in the universal language. The dwarf isn't impressed and ignores the bribe, letting it slip between his fingers, the coins falling to the dirt. Whilst Caius recovers his riches from the ground Bree performs a ritual of universal understanding. Enabling the group to communicate with the city guard.

After a while our adventures manage to convince the guard to be granted acces to to the city. Small cracks appear in what was smooth stone just seconds ago and a huge set of doors swing open. In the little courtyard beyond the gate 6 members of the Gracklestugh stone guard surround the adventurers. The commander of the unit starts reading a long list of rules and laws of the city. He drones on and on and on on all the things our adventures shouldn't do. After what appears to be about half an hour, he gives the group some directions. They are to be guided to the only district of the city non-dwarves are allowed to wander and stay over night. There they are to find the one inn they can stay and they might be able to trade with the merchants in the market. The 'guides' are made up of the 6 Stone guards that form up in formation around the group en start a forced march towards the harbour district, making short time of the trip.

After arriving to a lesser wall dividing off the different parts of the city our adventurers are directed through a second set of gates, the doors slamming shut just behind them. The group finds themselves on the edge of a busy marketplace with merchants trading a great variety of goods from the underdark and some items that seem to be from the surface. Making a way through the busy market Kaius spends a few coppers getting some food here and there. Being thankful for finally eating something else than rations, dried fish and bland foods that had been magically given some (but not all that convincing) flavours. Meanwhile the group manages to get directions to Gholbrorn's Lair, the one inn in town where they are allowed to spend the night.

Loding in Gracklestugh proves to be rather expensive. In order to lower the cost of their stay the group tries bargaining with the landlord. Caius convinces him that he can sing and entertain, in the evening. Autun on his turn is asked to go on a beer run fetching casks of ale from the brewery at the other side of the district. Bree and Kais propose to join the kitchen staff scrubbing pots and plates. Ezri, not feeling for doing some washing up volunteers her carpentry skills and asks if anything in the inn is in need or repair. Not realising or noticing for that matter that the dwarves are the most exquisite craftspeople and all the furniture around her is in impeccable shape. After making a bit of a fool out of herself she gives in and agrees to join Kais and Bree for scrubbing duty.

After agreeing the now lower price of the tree rooms the group splits up. Autun joins the brothers of the inn keep going on a trip to the brewery the others check out their rooms. These seem, albeit expensive not remarkable [didn't we find anything in the rooms?]

Next up is a trip to the market. With the upcoming trip to the city of the deep gnomes in mind the group trades the gems and valuables they've gathered along the way for a diverse selection of rations, restocking Autun's spices, arrows and a few lengths of new rope. Caius also opts for getting some extra clothes.

After the shopping the group finds the local bar, the Shattered Spire in order to gather more intelligence on who to contact with their dire news of what is happening to the underdark. In the spire they notice a figure who is wearing what looks like an octopus as a hat. But before they get a good look at them a brawl breaks out in the middle of the bar. The spire's landlord breaks up the fight, and everyone returns back to their drinking business. Our group doen't really get the finer details but figure out that the fighters themselves didn't really know why the got in this fight in the first place. It will likely prove to be an eerie omen.

Standing out from the crowd, being surface dwellers with Autun towering above anyone else the group is approached by a shady figure who introduces himself as Weltz Saltbaron. Weltz inquires about the groups business and after hearing that they will be heading to the deep gnomes he proposes them a deal: If they deliver a bag of gems to the deep gnomes they'll be offered a generous reward. After some discussion the group agrees upon the offer and they arrange a meeting at the docks at twelve bell the next day.

Having plans for the morning set our adventurers head back to the inn not wanting to miss out on their expensive, and paid for, dinner. Once the meal has been taken care of Caius keeps his end of the bargain and starts singing. He sings about the adventures of our group. He sings about his bravery at the Reckenmark. The tune catches on and to the the amazement of the landlord the bar has been drunk as dry as a bone.

After a long day the group retires to their rooms for a good long rest.

Ezri:

== Backstory ==

Ezri grew up in Waterdeep comes from a family of 5. Her father runs a butchery and her mother helps out in the business making and selling meat pies. It's her mother's cooking that grew Ezri's love for food and she still joins her family for dinner regularly. She has an older brother who recently married and will continue the butchery after their father retires. Her younger sister is the quiet demure type that dreams of handsome princes that come and swoop her her feet for a happily ever after.

From a young age, whenever Ezri wasn't in school, or more often as not: when she was supposed to be in school, she hung out in the part of town where most of the guild artisans where located. There she made many friends among the blacksmiths and carpenters Even when she was still young, craftsmen had her help out with running errands and chores in the workshops and thought her a few tricks. Mikken the blacksmith taught her to forge some simple items like nails and a simple knife.

But most likely Ezri could be found in [someguys] workshop. He is the guild master of the carpenters and joiners. When she came of age Ezri chose to become his apprentice and he happily took her in, where as a woodworker she showed great prowess. Ezri is a skilled carpenter and excels in fine joinery making furniture, cabinets and jewellry boxes with hidden compartments. Her skill in woordcarving is so great that as a journeyman she already surpassed that of her master. Most people in the city have likely seen Ezri's work on houses of the rich merchants for whom she decorated their doors and signboards with appropriate carvings.

Ezri dreams of building her own house on the outskirts of the city, with enough room for a large workshop. She also wants to start a family and have a couple kids running around. However she only ever had a crush on Vayana, the daughter of one of the city's aldermen. A love she never dared to confess to anybody. Realizing that having children with Vaya would pose problems that not even magic could solve. Therefore she tends to put those thoughts away in the depth of her mind and focused on her apprenticeship. In her own small room above the carpentry workshop she keeps a likeness of Vayana, which she carved out of a precious piece of rosewood. Even when she tries her hardest not to she always dreams of spending her happily ever after with Vaya and their children, pondering if she ever should confess her love.

[[File:ezristaff.jpg|200px|thumb|left|alt text]]
One day she set out to forrest to look for materials and inpsiration for her masterpiece in order to finish her apprenticeship and be able to join the carpenters guild as a full-fledged master carpenter. That's the day where she was surprised by that sudden thunderstorm.

'''Appearance'''

Ezri is about 5' 4" tall. Her strawberry blonde her is bushy and thick with curls, hanging to just above her shoulders. It's also the only bush in her life that she approves of. -She can handle a bit of shrubbery though-. Going with her hair Ezri's complexion can be called fair but is riddled with freckles on her rounded nose and puffy cheeks. Giving her an appearance that can be called cute, even with the muscular body she has.

Growing up befriending the blacksmiths and carpenters of Waterdeep she had her daily workouts. Giving her strong shoulders with some well defined muscles in both her back and
sizable arms. This doesn't take away from her overall feminine figure. Ezri is well endowed in the bust department and likes to show some cleavage. Her love of food and her mother's cooking ended Ezri up with ample hips and a well defined waist.

Usually she dresses practically. Giving that she spends most her time working. She prefers simple linnen short sleeved shirts with a low cut neckline in both the front and back. Her breasts she shores up with a bra she made herself from some old leather belts and sturdy sailcloth. Keeping her breasts both visible and out of the way whilst she works.

On her belt Ezri carries her hand axe, and a pouch in which she keeps some coins and a set of small sharpening stones.

In the way of jewellery she keeps it simple. She is always wearing wide cuffs around her arms. A set made of thick sturdy harness leather she had had made at the local saddler for in the workshop. Their surface marked by all kinds of tools. When she dresses up Ezri exchanges hot working bracelets for some finer pair. Also made out of leather but with stamped with intricate decorations. On such occasions she also wears her silver torc.

'''Neverlight Grove'''
After a breakfast of grubs and more mushrooms the group sets out deeper in the fungal mangroves. After about half a day of travel the waters get too shallow to continue by boat. So the boat is put on blocks with raft on top securely tied down. The group travels further by foot.

Suddenly Kais and Caius feel the ground move under theit feet. In the dim light of the luminescent fungi they figure out that the ground they are standing on are actually patches of snakes. In an effort to rescue Caius Bree casts a scatter spell, scaring of the snakes but hurting Caius in the process. Meanwhile Ezri Casts her flame blade and roasts the other patch of snakes. Providing the group with an ample amount of roasted snake snacks.

Nearing the end of the day, sounds of fighting are heard coming from ahead. Ezri takes her giant spider shape and scouts ahead together with bree. They see a group of myconids fighting a big mountain of vegetation. The Shambling Mound, has seriously hurt one of the mushrooms fighting. Bree runs back to the group to get help. With combined efforts the shambling mound is defeated and Autun uses his powers to heal the hurt myconid.

The four myconids introduce themselves as members of the Circle of the Hunters. They are out on patrol to fight Shambling Mounds as the big heap of vegetation is called and tell that the mounds usually come in pairs. In sharing a meal the group tells about Stools fate. Upon that we are given directions to Neverlight Grove and the leader of the hunters hands Autun a big glowing spore, ensuring that it will give save passage into Neverlight Grove. The next morning the group sets out towards the Myconid town following the directions given.

Inside the grove the group heads to the biggest mushroom in sight. Autun holding up the glowing spore in a gesture of reverence. The group gets greeted by Filow, who introduces themselve as one of two sovereigns in Neverlight Grove. Filow is quite happy and talkative and invites the group for the big celebration that is upcoming. He mentions that this celebration will join all Myconids together in a great unification. It's a story that sounds just a bit too familiar to the group and the are cautious.

Once Filow gets on with his tasks and is out of hearing distance the second mushroom turns to group en speaks he [name?] introduces himself as the other sovereig of Neverlight Grove. He is more solemn about everything that is happening and tells about the factions that have formed amongst the myconid race. He also tells about the hierarchical way spores are now melded, with leaders of each faction representing their clan. He doesn't seem all that happy about the festivities that were announced earlier, and says something that could thought of that the myconid factions only work together out of necessity. The group tries to tell about what happend in Slooblooblob but it seems to not impress the myconid.

The group finds a place to make camp and encounter Loobemub, the leader of the circle of Hunters. He gives some more insights in myconid society. Besides the circle of hunters there are the:
* circle of spores
* circle of builders
* circle of growers
* the inner circle

He also tells a little about the way the myconids procreate and directs te group to Yeabrop who is from the circle of spores. In the myconid nursery the group get's to hug and cuddle with baby mushrooms. One of the babymushrooms is handed to Autun where he names himself Droopa, hitting the soft spot in Autun's caring heart. After visiting the nursery the group heads back to camp near the hunters and lay down for the night.

Bree and Shooshar take the first watch:
They overhear the hunters talk about a powerfull creature and their pondering if they should ask the surface dwellers with their sharp weapons for help defeating this creature.

Ezri and Kais take second watch:
Kais doesn't notice anything special, while Ezri just sits near the fire daydreaming about her love she dreamt earlier about.

Autun takes third watch:
He notices the hunters have come to a conclusion and will ask for help.

Dreams:
Autun finds himself in the myconid nursery hugging and playing with all the baby mushrooms. He is overjoyed.
Caius dreams about winning a dragonage tournament at age 10.
Bree dreams of walking through Neverlight Grove, the Mushrooms smiling upon them
Ezri is heavily entangled with Vayana, doing things that would be befitting for the Drow Boudoir.

In the morning Loobemub asks the group for help to slay this approaching danger. The group agrees to help and set out with Gomphus as a guide.

A couple of hours outside Neverlight Grove they encounter a 10 feet tall monster with a snakelike tail with tentacle and a ferocious beak. After a couple of missile weapons don't seem to de very much damage Ezri casts Moonbeam, startling and hurting thi underdark beast that clearly isn't used to light, especially not a very bright light that seems to burn their skin. Autun swings his great axe and finishes off the beast.

The group ties up the dead monster in order to drag it back to Neverlight Grove.

Ezri:

We continue through the dark lake, with the passages getting narrower and more fungal vegetation appearing, and eventually rocks poking up out of the water. Testing the depth with [[Autun]]'s 10-foot pole, we detect that the water is getting shallower. [[Shuushar]] signals us to stop rowing; the depth of the water is no longer reliably deep enough to handle our overloaded boat. We get out and wade. The water is knee-deep for most of us, but that's thigh-deep for [[Jimjar]] and [[Bree]]. We find a place to stop for the night. [[Kais]] can hear a sound like pages turning in a book far overhead. When everyone is awake he and Autun look around, trying to find the source of the sound. They don't find any sign of what was making the noise, but do find about 6 lbs of [[trillimac]], a sheet-like edible mushroom. They pick it up and as soon as they do, a thumping sound starts in the distance. It continues, and seems like it might be getting closer, so they hurry back to camp. No sooner do they explain to the others what happened than four walking [[zurkhwood]] appear from the forest. Kais hypothesizes that they are angry about him taking the trillimac and sets it down in the sand and backs away from it. This seems to appease two of the mobile zurkhwood, but the other two attack. Autun attempts to convey to them that we mean no harm, but although they hesitate for a moment, they then resume their attack. Autun has the sense that they were compelled in some way to do so. One of them whacks Ezri with its blue cap, demonstrating that they can do considerable damage, and the other makes a similar attack on Caius. Bree lights a bonfire under the one attacking Caius. Kais, Jimjar and Autun attack the one battling with Ezri. It is injured by blows from the rogues' shortswords, but manages to get another hit on Ezri which knocks her unconscious. Caius jumps in with encouraging words, which bring Ezri back from death's edge. She again calls her firey sword to deal the death blow to the tree that nearly killed her. Caius manages to avoid further damage, and Autun lands a strike with his axe. Bree calls up a cloud of daggers which ultimately slice the last (mycelial) threads by which this tree clung to life. Caius tends to his own and to Ezri's wounds while Kais and Autun make the best of a bad situation by turning the zurkhwood corpses into firewood. We also find about 10 water orbs and two tall, orange and beige mushrooms. Autun tries to identify them by collecting spores, but ends up breathing the spores and is stunned. Brie manages to use Charm to convince him to follow her away from the mushroom. After a moment, he recovers.

[[File:IMG 20190201 230955.jpg|641px]]

We resume our walk through the lake. The water is getting decidedly warmer, and we cross the outflow of a hot spring.

We eventually find a larger waterway that seems to come from within the fungal forest. We decide to follow it upstream, to try to reach Neverlight Grove. Mostly we can travel in the boat, rowing. We come across an area with fungal trees growing in the water, like mangroves. This area has another extra-gray dwarf. Like the last one, it does not respond to Bree prestidigitating a breeze to fondle its beard. Like the last one, it seems to have metal equipment, but its skin does not look like skin, but rather like it is made of gray fibers. We try to talk to it and it eventually moves to another tree root. We try to follow it, but it just moves back to the other spot. We get the impression that it finds us uninteresting. Careful inspection of the area shows that it moves around quite a lot - there are tracks from its boots on many of the roots. Autun has the sense that whatever is going on with this creature, it is in its natural state - it has no "feel" of disease. Caius tries a spell to dispel disease or poison, and nothing happens, implying that indeed whatever this thing is, it is not an ill or infected gray dwarf. Kais considers lifting some of its equipment to inspect it, but decides to leave well enough alone for now.

We manage to find a bit of land big enough to sleep three at a time, and decide to make camp there for the "night".

Ezri:

Autun, Kais, Caius, Bree, Ezri, Shooshar and Jimjar make it to a little rowing boat and start moving away for Slooblooplop and the Demogorgon. Everyone is getting back to their senses and they set out in the direction of Stool's hometown.

The party notices Autun's liver showing and he suggests he casts a curing spell upon himself and takes a rest as best he can in the boat. Whilst the others take turn rowing.

After Autun wakes up feeling and looking better. Ezri sees a chance to take a rest herself. So do Bree and the others, taking turns. Mighty Autun is able to row hours on end. At some point Ezri is woken up and mumbles something about Vayana. When pressed for details she can only say that Vayana is the daughter of one of Waterdeep's eldermen and is the most perfect and the most beautiful woman in the world. Jimjar doesn't quite get what Ezri means and thinks Vayana is her sister.

Kais proposes to fish for some food. Together with Ezri and some of het tools he fashions four hooks and ties them to strings. Bree casts some magical bait on the hooks that lures the fish. Shooshar guys some fish: putting the innards aside but removes an organ that looks like a little bladder form each and immediately throws those organs overboard.

Once the caught enough fish Ezri purifies the fish and the water the crew filled up their skins with to be sure it's safe to eat. Our party has a meal of underdark sashimi.

At one point lichens on the ceiling start to give off a faint glow. Enough for to spot something that looks like an island. Cautious they try to see if it would be safe to go ashore, but they spot movement and hear grunting noises. Autun halts the boat and the group discusses if it would be wise to get near that beast. It looks taller than Autun and doesn't seem to be very friendly. They decide to create cover and a distraction. Ezri conjures a fog cloud around the beast while Bree conjures some sounds as much on the other side of the troll as is possible.

Quietly they move past the beast without drawing any of its attention towards the boat. The rowing continues until they notice current picking up the pace of the boat.

Portage boat down rapids

Get ashore for sleep. Ezri, shooshar and Jimjar have bad dreams. Ezri gets soothed by Caius. Autun has a pleasant dream about buying fabrics. Caius about going to the market with father, when he was a six year old. Bree dreams about having a cart full of animals to sell.

They pass several pairs big stone pillars carved out of the cave walls a hundred feet or so apart. With hinges that used to hold doors couple hundred years ago. Doorsw went both ways, ruled out it to be a lock or dam.

More fishing ensues. With an enormous catch. Fish will be preserved as rations, Shooshar directs to a salt lake for the required salt.

When pressed for details she can only say that Vayana is the daughter of one of Waterdeep's eldermen and is the most perfect and the most beautiful woman in the world. Jimjar doesn't quite get what Ezri means and thinks Vayana is her sister.

Kais proposes to fish for some food. Together with Ezri and some of het tools he fashions four hooks and ties them to strings. Bree casts some magical bait on the hooks that lures the fish. Shooshar guys some fish: putting the innards aside but removes an organ that looks like a little bladder form each and immediately throws those organs overboard.

Once the caught enough fish Ezri purifies the fish and the water the crew filled up their skins with to be sure it's safe to eat. Our party has a meal of underdark sashimi.

At one point lichens on the ceiling start to give off a faint glow. Enough for to spot something that looks like an island. Cautious they try to see if it would be safe to go ashore, but they spot movement and hear grunting noises. Autun halts the boat and the group discusses if it would be wise to get near that beast. It looks taller than Autun and doesn't seem to be very friendly. They decide to create cover and a distraction. Ezri conjures a fog cloud around the beast while Bree conjures some sounds as much on the other side of the troll as is possible.

Quietly they move past the beast without drawing any of its attention towards the boat. The rowing continues until they notice current picking up the pace of the boat.

Autun, Kais, Caius, Bree, Ezri, Shooshar and Jimjar make it to a little rowing boat and start moving away for Slooblooplop and the Demogorgon. Everyone is getting back to their senses.

The party notices Autun's liver showing and he suggests he casts a curing spell upon himself and takes a rest as best he can in the boat. Whilst the others take turn rowing.
