Jeepers Creepers

The Strangers With Weapons continue through the Tomb of Annihilation, meeting the last king of Chult.

## Major Plot Points

* SWW ventured forward through the third level of the Tomb of Annihilation, leaving the boar head behind.
* Vlad gave Peggy Devlin’s cursed wand, turning her into a goat woman.
* The first room they entered was the Tomb of Kubazan, the froghemoth god. After deciphering the correct rituals from a series of paintings inside the tomb, Dani offered herself to the tentacled god, wearing the Bracers of Archery she found inside his sarcophagus.
	+ The host’s strength becomes 23 (+6). You cannot be frightened. The host’s wisdom becomes 8. Wild, spirited, and fearless. Loves risks.
* Heading south, the SWW then found a room with a large clay golem standing in a big pit. The pit was sealed off by some kind of magic. Inside the room were statues of Torm and Azuth. The SWW figured out how to use the statues to teleport into the pit and fought off the Clay Golem. The golem was guarding a treasure chest with 1,500 gold, a crystal eye (8), and six greater health potions. Each PC took a health potion.
* Vulveeta led the team west to find the door that the crystal eyes open, however, they didn’t have enough to unlock it.
* Vlad led the party east into a room with a golden skull wearing a jester’s hat. Vlad touched it, awakening it. The skull belongs to Yuka, the royal fool of Omu. He incessantly talks in Vlad’s ear telling bad jokes, giving him disadvantage on all saving throws and checks.
* The party opened the door to the next room and found themselves on a balcony that overlooked a 50 foot long pit and another balcony on the opposite side. On that opposing balcony stood a gargoyle statue with his fists clenched and wings furled. On the SWW balcony was a lever. Vulveeta pulled the lever, which caused the gargoyle to flap its wings and start blowing a harsh wind. Dani was able to withstand the gusts and fly over to the gargoyle to retrieve the two crystal eyes it held in its hands (10).
* The Strangers made their way back to the Eyed Vault and successfully opened it with the ten crystal eyes. They were quickly attacked by a Beholder. Vulveeta made quick work out of the beast in a single turn. She used her wand of wonder and randomly cast petrify on it. The many-eyed beast failed it’s saving throws and turned to stone instantly. Neuriel used his magic to break the Beholder into several pieces.
* Treasure:
	+ 6,000 gold
	+ 4 greater health potions
	+ Vulveeta took the Bag of Beans
	+ Vlad took the rat rail (must be clipped to the back of his hair)
		- Advantage on all dex checks/saving throws
	+ Peggy took the Xtina Genie Lamp. She used this to remove her goat curse.
		- She will cast three spells for the party
			* Mass Healing Word
			* Invisibility
			* Remove Curse
			* Magic Circle
	+ Gold Triangle to the Fourth Level
* The party was greeted by four gargoyle statues on the fourth floor. They sat on columns that said INSERT 100 GOLD HERE. They did so and the gargoyles withdrew their weapons
* In a hallway, the party found a lizard darting around. Her name is Lizzie McGuire and she belonged to Eureka, a member of the Yellow Company (along with Devlin, Fluffy, and Rhaega). She hated Calypso, Neuriel, and Vlad because she said they killed Eureka. She befriended Vulveeta.
* The group then went through a series of trapped rooms suffering 22 fire damage before blowing out a candle, nearly drowning before eating a clam, almost suffocating before kissing an aarakocra skeleton, and almost being buried by sand until hitting a secret button
* These rooms led them to the Tomb of Shagambi. The party decided not to mess with it since they all had gods they liked already. There were three glowing glyphs in this room. Neuriel tried to use one to teleport out but dealt him 15 necrotic damage. Peggy was able to discern the correct teleportation glyph.
* The next room they found was the morgue of the tomb. Three wight dwarves were conducting an autopsy on a recently deceased dwarf, which Lizzie recognized as Eureka. The party killed the two flesh golems protecting them and then two of the three wights. The final wight demanded to know why Calypso, Neuriel, and Vlad were not on Level 5 like they were supposed to be. And why they attacked after just dropping off Eureka’s body. After some interrogation, the wight revealed that the Sewn Sisters created clones of Vlad, Voloth, Neuriel, Calypso, and Fern. The Fern Clone was on Level 6 with the Sewn Sisters and Ras Nsi. The clones of Vlad, Voloth, Neuriel, and Calypso are on Level 5. He also shared that the golden triangle key was to the west and the secret staircase to Level 5 is in the morgue. The SWW knocked the wight out and put him in a body drawer.
* The SWW then found a throne room where a mummified king sat on a throne of bones and leathered flesh. The king gestured for the SWW to approach and demanded they kneel. The SWW refused. The King introduced himself as King Daemon of Chult. He was the husband of Zalkore and legal father of Visenya and Visery. He doubted they were his though because Zalkore was having an affair with Thiru-Taya. He revealed he exiled Zalkore after she became a gorgon and then murdered her lover and sent her his ashes to taunt her. He was the keeper of the golden triangle, which he kept in a grandfather clock in a secret room. He asked that Lady Peggy peg him for it, which she reluctantly agreed to.
* The SWW explored this level a bit more before heading down and found the Tomb of Unkh. Neuriel, Vlad, and Calypso got sucked into an 8-bit maze and found 8 keys in it, which then popped them out. The keys could be kept or used to open Unkh’s sarcophagus. The party kept the keys and were marked with Acererak’s sigil.
	+ Vlad took the black key. If the holder drops to 0 HP, they instead drop to 1. Can be used up to 9 times.
	+ Neuriel took the blue key. The user can breathe under water.
	+ Calypso took the green key. Allows her to spit up a frog that can understand her and follows her commands. She also took the red key. Up to three times, she can consume the flesh of a freshly dead corpse to regain 3D8+3 HP.
	+ Peggy took the purple key. She can swallow this key to regain on spell slot up to level 4. Can only be used once.
	+ Dani took the gold key. As an action you can make it rain gold coins on a creature. DC15 dex save to dodge. If it hits, the target takes 1D10 bludgeoning damage. You can then collect gold coins equal to the damage.
* The final room the party explored was filled with mirrors. Calypso failed a dex check to look away and got trapped in a mirror. Nine other humanoids were trapped in nine other mirrors. Vlad, without thinking, broke Calypso’s mirror. This freed her and she slapped him in the face for his carelessness. The SWW broke the other mirrors to free the captives, however, they aged rapidly once they were freed. Only an elven woman named Jenny survived this experience given that elves can live for centuries. She made her way to the top level, asking the SWW to open the front door when they make it out.
* The SWW decided to rest in the grandfather clock room. Peggy had to peg King Daemon again for this request.
* You’re all level 9 now!
