Re-Hallowing the Steadfast Stone
Our adventurers begin their session in the lair of the now dead medusa. Caius casts his protective tent and Bree casts Alarm. Then the party rests for a long time. They take turns watching and guarding during the rest. During thie Bree and Autun see some glowing red beetles scurry outside past the entrance to the medusa lair. And during their watch, Kais and Caius have a deep heartfelt talk.
Upon waking the party ascends the staircase and exits the medusa lair, bringing their trophy medusa head with them. They turn right after exiting and pass quietly and quickly past the stone drow warriors without waking them. They come to a staircase and head up to reach a plateau. On the plateau there is a single door in a large standing stone, and another staircase behind the standing stone leading down. The doorway leads to a room 25ft in diameter. The party enters.
Inside the smoothed walls are covered with a mosaic depicting creatures, including one with a badger head. There is no language of writing on the walls, only pictures. Bree casts Comprehend Languages. Ezri plants a flower beneath the badger headed creature, and the creatures on the wall begin to dance and sing a song about the Guardians of this place. The ground begins rumbling and the party runs outside in anticipation.
A giant earth elemental appears and begins lumbering towards the party. Bree traps it with a Magic Circle spell shortly outside of the entrance to the mosaic cave. Caius gets hit hard, but does not go down. Together the party vanquishes the elemental with Autun finishing it off. In response, a Galeb Duhr appears and announces, in a strange language that only Bree can understand, that it is a guardian of the Steadfast Stone. Thanks the adventurers for their efforts in defeating the earth elemental, and sits next to the door.
Another earth elemental appears and this time the party positions the Magic Circle between themselves and it. The elemental runs into the Magic Circle and gets trapped. Bree Faerie Fires the elemental and again the party brings it down with great help from Autun's sword. Again another Galeb Duhr appears, and again it says thank you and sits on the other side of the door to the cave. Autun and Caius quickly heal in preparation for more combat.
A third earth elemental appears, and again the party positions the Magic Circle between themselves and it. Working as a team, Bree Faerie Fires the elemental and Ezri lassos it with her Thorn Whip spell, dragging it into the Magic Circle. Autun again runs into melee range and hits it hard, while also being hit hard. The party brings it down and once again a Galeb Duhr appears and takes its place on the other side of the Steadfast Stone.
With each dead earth elemental the party recovered a single yellow gem. They are crude, rough, and probably not worth much. But they may be clues to the existance of the earth elementals.
Ezri transforms into a badger and enters what we now know is the Steadfast Stone and finds a cool gem shaped like a badger's head. The Steadfast Stone is hallowed once again. The crazed earth elementals are gone and its guardians have returned. The party takes a short rest.
After a quick break the party heads down the staircase. It turns into a path that leads back to the crystal garden outside of the medusa lair. They investigate the stone gnome there and take it back with them in their bag of holding. Kais takes the crystal it was looking through when it was turned to stone.
Back at Blingdenstone
They make it back to the city and Sark Axebarrel greets them once they get inside. They tell him everything, to which he is astonished and thankful. The guard badgers seem incredibly friendly with them.
The party heads to Gurnik Tapfinger and relays their recent adventures. She suggests they give the three yellow gems to her daughter Nomi Pathshutter since Nomi is investigating the problems with the earth elementals.
They then visit the temple of Segojan Earthcaller and the Burrow Warden to deliver the stone gnome to him. The stone gnome is not dead, but it has gone mad, and everyone agrees it is best if it is put to rest. Bree can hear sound coming from it with Comprehend Languages and the Stone Speaker Crystal, but they are the sounds of madness. The party then gives the Burrow Warden the bones they found in Rockblight, underneath the bed. The Burrow Warden says these bones belonged to Udhask, which means nothing to the party.
The errands continue with the party next visiting the Diggermattocks in their chamber. They recieve a purse of money for the party they are planning and the Diggermattocks agree to pay for the beer. The adventurers report what they accomplished while outside of the city and the Diggermattocks agree to handle the last of the stone drow. The Diggermattocks suggest the party bring their fancy drow dresses to the city's best dress maker Perita Swish.
The Dressmaker
So off to the dressmaker they go. Perita Swish is excited to see them and the party orders many items in exchange for the fancy drow dresses they took from the medusa's chamber. Perita is very happy with the bargain as it is generally in her favor. Stool's Irregulars are happy to get new travelling clothes, as well as fancy clothes for their upcoming party.
- Bree orders a spider silk hobbitkini, greyish white, two-piece, with a clasp in the front
- Bree orders a black mini-skirt and a strapless top that shows off her smiley face tattoo
- She also orders low pump heels to match
- Kais orders a nice brown outfit
- Autun orders a brown and blue outfit
- Ezri orders a nice dress
- Caius orders a houndstooth jacket, sedate and practical, yet stately
- Shuushar orders a leather outfit with impractical net leggings and a cod-piece
- Jimjar orders loud clothes reminiscent of a used car salesman on LSD trapped in a 70's blacksploitation film
- Rumpadump orders a dress beret
- Everyone gets new sets of travellers clothes for general wear and tear
After the clothing maker the party buys some vinegar to pickle the medusa head, and Ezri orders some studded leather armor.
