Episode 31: In the arms of a...Godfrey?!

* Barkley is woken up by a strange noise in the middle of the night. She goes around and wakes everyone up and asks what to do about it. We decide to head downstairs and check it out.
* We discover that we were followed by Diruzel and Annabelle, who were apparently resurrected somehow. They are also accompanied by two new figures; a gnome bard named Syrus and a tiefling druid named Virulence. Tristram polymorphs Barkley into a bat. Batley flies over and eavesdrops on their conversation. We discover they are after us.
* We decide to hide in the basement while Barkley poses as a Duergar barmaid with disguise self. She sends our pursuers up to "their rooms" and we try and sneak out once they head upstairs for the night. Lucius rolls a nat one on his stealth check and we try and cheese it.
* A chaotic fight breaks out, with the party choosing to flee rather than fight directly. Godfrey grabs Annabelle and just dives off the cliff with her. Everyone else runs. Lucius fireballs the rope bridge in an attempt to cut off our pursuit. 
* Syrus dimension doors across the broken bridge. Virulence turns into an air elemental and flies over. She uses her whirlwind attack and throws Boris off the edge and he falls. Vahlka immediately stops running and goes into murder mode.
* Meanwhile, Godfrey lets go of Annabelle and casts fly, zooming away from her and over underneath the bridges
* Virulence, Vahlka, Balefire, and Barkley duke it out for a few round while the others continue fleeing. Virulence eventually polymorphs into a giant eagle and flies away. Vahlka screeches incoherently and wastes all her arrows trying to hit a target blindly. 
* Godfrey manages to just BARELY grab Boris before he hits the ground and flies back up spider in tow.
* The cultists retreat for the moment to regroup.
* Thinking Boris is dead and gone, Vahlka follows after everyone else, extremely upset. A few minutes later Godfrey catches up with an armful of terrified, but still very alive, spider. Vahlka is just !!!! and smooches Godfrey right on the lips, grabs Boris, and runs off with him cackling.
