The Endless Divide - Episode Fifteen

==Synopsis:==
Luya Barie set out months ago on an expedition to cross the Endless Divide, also known as The Quiet Lands. She and her crew were seeking the eastern coast of A'lune. No one ever heard back from them until one day, a message was sent to the Court of Abishot through some sort of magic. 25 words came from Barie:
"We almost died on journey. Found massive city in quiet lands. Cannot get back. Too dangerous. Met their wizard. They need help. Safe currently. Luya."
Abishot hired the Whispering Cutlass to seek out this lost city of the Divide and its citizens. Over 100 individuals set out on the journey.
This is the fifteenth adventure in The Endless Divide Saga.
This leg of the journey features the mercenaries fighting saggy flesh ooze monsters.

==Adventure Summary:==
Day 78 continued (13% Caravan Supplies): After defeating the undead in the opening room, the mercenaries continued down the only hallway, which had odd alcoves throughout the length, until they came upon a set of double doors. The doors did not appear to be trapped, but it was not opening easily. Brutus forced open the door and caused a giant boulder to come barreling down towards the group. All party members, minus Brutus, were able to make their way into an alcove to avoid the boulder, but as soon as they stepped into the alcove the floor fell apart, exposing a pit trap beneath. Most of the group was able to keep themselves from falling by holding onto the wall, but two members fell 10 feet and were slightly injured.
Once the boulder made its way across the room, blocking the entrance, the group searched for a way out. Darksteel found strange holes in the wall, and Bandin saw an unknown object moving at the top of the boulder ramp. Bandin approached to investigate and as he got close, a fleshy ooze monster dropped from the opening. A short time later several other fleshy ooze monsters seeped out of the holes in the wall into the hallway and attacked the group. The monsters were defeated and the group continued to look for a way out. Snarela and Xane made their way to the boulder ramp room and used their House Stars Starium Pickaxes to destroy the wall with the holes. Once the wall was damaged Snarela and Xane saw an open room filled with eight of the flesh ooze monsters. Some of the monsters slumped their way towards the open door as others seeped through the walls into the hallway, attacking the group once again. During battle Snarela fell unconscious, but was quickly saved by Darksteel and healed by Xane. After seeing Snarela fall, Brutus went into a blind rage and obliterated two of the flesh monsters near him. Due to his reckless attacks Brutus was overcome by one of the monsters, who wrapped him up and began suffocating him to death. Darksteel was also overcome by one of the monsters, but Bandin was able to cut him free, killing the monster in the process. Brutus was able to rip the monster off of him as Snarela burned the monster to death with a firebolt. Also during the battle Gale was knocked unconscious, but was quickly healed by Xane.
The mercenaries made their way into the adjacent room. The group located several items and once it was deemed secure they began bedding down for the night. Bandin cast the spell Identify and found that the items were a rod of sleep, a scroll of hold person, and gauntlets of grappling. Bandin also found that the ruby was not magical, and the marble found in Darksteel's possession has the ability to summon an archfey if crushed. The group then took a long rest to recuperate 
==Outcome:==
