Jimothy's Homecoming

With the daylight radiating from Dawnbringer, Autun cuts the filament as high as he can reach, and the Cave fisher quickly descends from the ledge overhead where it was awaiting to ambush. Caius moves into position near Autun to block the beast. Bree uses her magic to blast the creature, Sirene swoops in to distract as Kais and Jimjar fire off arrows, some of which glance off the carapace and others striking true. Soon the creature is leaking a volatile fluid as Jimjar had described it would, and Bree sets a bonfire to it, which consumes it in short order.

Seemingly drawn by a smell similar to lobster flambe, the two additional cave fishers descend as well. One ensnares Kais and hauls him into the air. Autun leaps, but misses, yet with expert marksmanship Jimjar slices the filament with an arrow. Kais falls but Caius cushions the impact. Shortly there-after the cave fishers are dispatched.

Under Jimjar's guidance and Autun helps field-dress and package the cave fisher carcasses.

Kais reports that on the ledge above are lots of broken bones and flasks and all manner of broken gear from former victims. In the detritus is found several pouches of gold, silver, and copper coins and three bottles of wine which seem to be of surface origin.

The group continues and the cavernous landscape begins to take on a strange sponginess, like magnified pumice. Jimjar leads on. Eventually the way begins to look more like worked stone. Jimjar reveals it is worked by deep gnomes, but this is old. Jimjar instinctively closes his eyes as the passages suddenly seem to twist in a strange geometry and half the party is so disoriented as to vomit.

Needing a break and some food, the party stops for a short rest. As they do so, a few spot a rodent of unusual size scurrying. There is speculation that it could be a were-rat like is suspected of Topsy and Turvy. They set off again, and the tricky passages once again twist, but this time Jimjar warns the party to close their eyes, but Autun is too slow and hurls once more cursing this unnatural magic.

long stairs but gnome size, leading to mithral doors.

Jimjar and his sister go ahead to prepare something, mom inquires about debts -- assure none.

Inkeeper, Tappy Foamstrap, dwarven beer

Autun begins to the tale -- Caius ensures it his not all grim, but has much heroism and highlights Jimjar's role. Autun starts to realize that all is not as dark as has seemed.

Ask if all is okay -- any strange dreams? So far things mostly seem normal enough. Some friction with the wererats: (ruler's name?) seems to not want peace / alliance. However, something has be going wrong with the earth elementals.

Blingdenstone in process of reclaiming areas after last large conflict, in order to keep the monsters out, gnomes collapse rock at the un-reclaimed edges. Also learn Gnomi (Jimjar's sister) has lost her husband.
