The Handmaiden
"We must take the body back to the Burrow Warden so it may be put to rest."
Kais helps Autun by binding the limbs of the dead Pudding King so that if the corpse animates on the way back to Blingdenstone, it will at least be easier to deal with. They then roll the body in a cloak and slide it into the Bag of Holding.
Kais checked for pockets or anything interesting, nothing. However he noticed that the throne itself had a hiding place in one of the arm rests. Inside the elf finds a stash of valuable coins, two magical scrolls, and small tome full of arcane script.
Next they decide they should collect the rest of the strike force and head out. First they find the Blingdenstone svirfneblin squad. The unit has taken heavy losses and are tending to their wounded. One guard reports that they were still fighting until a couple minutes ago, when the oozes all seemed to lose focus at which point they were able to fend them off. "That must have been the moment we killed the Pudding King." Caius cites the Burrow Warden, that we must first tend to the living, later we can come back and tend to the dead. From there, the group decides to stick together and try to collect the two remaining fire teams.
As the group approaches the large room where they last saw one of the fire teams, they find a very strange creature. It appears to be an amorphous, somewhat drippy, yellow tree-like column about seven feet tall, with many branch-like arms each about ten feet long and a single eye near the top. It speaks in elvish mentioning that a mess has been made here, and appears to be speaking to something invisible. Kais tries to speak to it.
Bree and Caius exchange some words, for they can not understand any of the elvish being spoken. Autun concentrates and reports that this creature is a fiend, and gulps down a healing potion. Caius starts ushering the gnomes away from this strange danger.
The creatures asks if Autun is always so rude as to drink without offering to others. Kais asks what it is and what it is doing. The creature dodges the questions but reveals it is here to investigate the puddings. When further pressed, it suggests based on Ezri's somewhat drow-inspired style that they should know who it is working for, but it is often called a handmaiden.
The handmaiden tosses a coin into the air and for a moment Bree's attention if fixed upon it, but she shakes off the attempt at charm. Autun displays unicorn head and calling upon the strength granted him by Mielikki commands the fiend to leave, but the handmaiden is not turned. Autun hears an invisible flying thing swooping past him and trying to bite him.
Bree casts a Magic circle to ensnare the fiend, Kais advances with his rapier enhanced with Booming blade. Bree is struck by the handmaiden's tendril and falls immediately. Autun wields Dawnbringer and calling upon all of the power of his goddess strikes deeply at the handmaiden with two consecutive strokes -- divine flames spreading out from the wounds. Just then a gigantic spider leg reaches through a rift in reality and grabs its handmaiden. At the sight, Kais fall unconscious and Caius develops the unsettling notion that cobwebs seem to be clinging to him.
The Irregulars gather their wits, see there are no other gnomes here, and return to the plan of collecting gnomes and heading back to Blingdenstone.
