Episode 101

## Recap

* The session begins with Vahlka (disguised as Osyna), Olivia (invisible), the retriever, and Katya infiltrating Deephold. Everyone else is in the portable hole.
* Once moving through a completely dark hallway, the currently present individuals arrive in a square room with statues in a pattern pointing towards the center of the room. The doorway behind them is no longer visible. Olivia lets everyone else out of the portable hole.
* There's a brief puzzle, using corresponding spells to get an orb small enough so that one of the doors can be opened. Lucius has to Fire Bolt the orb artifact many, many times in order for this to happen.
* The retriever perks up and the party heads in that direction.
* Vahlka heads to the doorway which leads to a long hallway with a set of stairs at the end. There's evidence of someone shuffling their feet nearby, probably towards the base of the stairs, and Vahlka warns them to be quiet.
* Barkley goes to investigate where, at the base of the stairs, is a bored drow woman nightwarden with a spear and nearby a sign. Barkley returns to hand off this information. Barkley eventually returns to the sign to copy it, which is apparently listing the containment block they're on and how many threats are held within it.
* The party discusses what to do. Vahlka's patience runs out and, disguised as Osyna, storms down the stairs. She tries to order the inquisitor to leave and she eventually does. There are more guards, however, further down the hall.
* Barkley goes down the hallway to investigate, but the floor clicks. She leaps backwards to reveal a pit lined in some identifiable, fuzzy substance. Every guard in the hallway turns to the noise of the stone door swinging out. The entire floor is now on alert.
* Roll initiative! The party engages the inquisitors. Vahlka, once again disguised as Osyna, tries to kick an inquisitor down a hole. This works out... less well than expected. Another pit opens and Vahlka avoids it.
* Godfrey deposits an inquisitor in one of the pits We eventually realize that the texture is a mold of some kind.
* Eventually two guards run off, tapping their shields against the walls. At one point Lucius casts Fireball, allowing the mold to grow out from the pit. The mold is very cold.
* Barkley attempts to rescue one of the drow inquisitors from the mold but, due to the fact that he's practically dead, Barkley leaves him where he is.
* One of the inquisitors attempts to run and Lucius, summoning all his strength, tries to catch him. Despite his best efforts, however, he fails to do so and the man runs out of sight.
* Barkley investigates in the other room and immediately gets harassed by inquisitors that were hiding, reducing her maximum health to practically zero. Vahlka runs in the room and attacks, but in return nearly gets killed. Deacon and Lucius eventually come in to rescue her.
* Slowly but surely and attempting to navigate around traps, the party kills the inquisitors. Lucius investigates one of the prison cells which reveals a horse. Pegasus, actually. Lucius tries to break the pegasus out to no avail.
* In another cell, Godfrey finds a humanoid individual with wings. He searches another cell before an arcane sigil ignites, causing a door to open and a moaning creature attempt to walk out. He disengages the trap before they find out what it is.
* Session ends.
