The Session
The session opens with the party in combat with a group of half starved drow. There are four soldiers and two lieutenants. The fight does not go well for the drow, with all of them bested by the party with little fanfare. When both lieutenants succumb to their wounds they get reborn as wraiths. Bree then traps them in a magic circle and the party retreats out of reach of them. They cannot attack the party, and they cannot leave the circle. Autun questions them, Bree attempts to tease them as an offering to her patron, in the end the party kills them quickly and with mercy.
The party continues down the tunnel. After a while Kais discovers a nicely stacked pile of rocks, and it is clear from markings on them that their previous owner had been killed and butchered. The party also finds a cloak encrusted with pearls and four rings. Both clearly having belonged previously to a female drow. The party surmises that this female drow had once been leader of the group of half-starved drow they just defeated and had been eaten by her compatriots.
The party continues and the barriers beging to shift more often. The party notices old tracks, likely left by the drow party wandering lost through the tunnels. Finally the party notices a stone pillar with an arrow pointing in a direction. The party follows the direction of the arrow. The tunnel begins to open up and become wider and Kais decides to have Sirene perform a flyby of what lays ahead. Sirene sees a blue beast with eight legs in the next room, and in the process is affected by some kind of force which Kais cannot distinguish.
The party expects a fight and slowly enters in the room. The room with the beast has six pillars of stone and the party suspects it may be entering the place they had previously dreamt of. In anticipation of the quicksand Ezri had seen in her dream, Bree casts water walk on the party. The party prepares attacks and moves forward, entering the room.
The attack commences with the basilisk. The party defeats the basilisk, but in doing so knocks down all of the pillars. Ezri used a lightening spell, and Bree used a fireball, so the basilisk was good and dead, but the room was also a mess.
A second basilisk appears from a hole in the ground. The party defeats this second abomination as well, and with spell points spent and damage taken, the party begins to bed down for a rest. But something is making Bree's ears tingle as she nears the hole from whence the second basilisk had arisen. She ventures down it, and finds an egg with a glowing smiley face on it. This is clearly for her so she takes it and cuddles it to her chest.
The party beds down for rest amidst the carnage of two dead basilisks and the destroyed pillars.
