Emerald Spire 29.0 - Prisoner Rescue

The reunited group decided to take a gamble: the drakes were likely still occupied with the morlocks so they decided to jump back immediately to the tenth floor while they still had a Fly spell active. When they arrived on the tiny spit of rock by the spire they saw that the drakes were indeed still out so they hurried up the far side of the chasm towards the sealed room where they kept their treasure.
Finding the glassy, crystallized wall holding back boiling water next to the collapsed tunnel entrance, the rest of the group backed away while Marin and Kormon climbed up on the dirt pile: Marin helped hold Kormon steady while he used his crystal pickaxe, quickly breaking through the barrier with a few deft swings. The water pooled outwards but everyone avoided it as it surged into cracks and holes, evaporating and draining away. Unfortunately, the shattered barrier began to melt as well, beginning to form back into a slime creature: Kormon and Marin wasted no time destroying the small pieces before they could reform.
Inside, they found a large pile of treasure comprised of coins, gems and other objects of interest as well as a crude cage made of rock that trapped the unconscious Jaquarl. Kormon shattered two of the bars, allowing the concerned Vibol to drag his partner out. Taking a few moments to grab interesting-looking objects and a few handfuls of coins from the pile, the group figured they had pushed their luck far enough and they retreated back to the spire, teleporting to floor eleven and hopefully safety once more.
Walking back to floor twelve they were greeted once more by Host, who was pleased that the mission to save their friend went as well as it had apparently did. They took Jaquarl into the next room at Host's behest: a spa room equipped with a hot tub, a massage table, an aesthetician's booth, and several reclining lounge chairs for resting. The two heavily-damaged robots in the room fussed over their visitors, concerned for their health and comfort; Kormon, for one, was not happy with this, though Amara drank it up. Jaquarl was left to rest in a recliner while the others settled in: they had had a stressful morning and Amara at least was nearly out of spells. They decided to take the robots up on their offer of hospitality and gave themselves a break for the rest of the day.
