The Boys Session 14

## Session 14

Dan finding that a ochre jelly is following them, decides to create an unseen servant to take a torch and make it follow a circular path as a distraction, as the northern team enter a banquet area. It is within this banquet area that a group of ghouls and undead are feasting as they see the incoming party and turn their attention to them.

Meanwhile, at the eastern team, they come to a fungi filled cavern open area and decide not to venture further in that way, and turn their exploration north and end up in the same banquet room but on opposite ends.

Both groups engage the undead, with Angelous turning the undead and making quick work of them, as the ochre jelly happens upon them by surprise as Dan had forgot to set commands and went out of range of his unseen servant. The ochre jelly already has several undead within its mass that are beginning to dissolve as it tries to swallow Bafflegar within, but is quickly obliterated.

The party now reunited, take a quick break to patch themselves up as Kats, Dan, and Bafflegar head east to explore and find a Flaming Skull dubbed "The Flaming Harris" flying around and making strange noises. It is alerted to their presence and attacks them but is quickly put down, only to re-ignite and resume it's patrol shortly afterwards. They come across a small house that's seemingly locked that can't be open by normal means, and head back to the main party.

Heading west, they come across a small pond with some treasure near the bottom of this 20ft. pool. After grabbing a wand of magic missiles, a shadow coalesces and out of it rises a skeletal spirit that ushers Bafflegar to take his hand. When Bafflegar relents, he gets a vision of 3 rock gnome explorers coming across this very cave, with the skeletal figure and Gundren with the group. It skips forward to a flourishing city, then to a battle where two of the rock gnomes are struck down, as another sits by cowering and hiding, as the skeletal figure is struck down. The skeletal figure with it's last ounce of strength, reaches towards the cowering rock gnome and as he doesn't help, the skeletal figure casts a curse upon him, turning him into the nothic.

Coming back to reality with the revelation of this vision, Bafflegar understands that the rock gnome turned nothic has something to do with his past, and vows to get answers.

The skeletal figure agrees to help the party deal with the other intruder, the Black Spider, and raises some skeletons to assist. Bafflegar hands the glass staff back to Iarno as a means of trust, and he commands the skeletal warriors forward, as they reach the last unexplored area of this cavern to the north. They each exchange some last words of encouragement and endearment before opening the door and pressing on.

Stepping into a room with pillars and an altar, the group confront the Black Spider drow, who is assisted by a group of Bugbears. Quickly being gravely injured by Angelous, Bafflegar, and Shawn Bolt, the Drow begins to contort and transform into this massive Giant Spider Drow monster and descends upon the group, quickly dropping Bafflegar unconscious. The bugbears when slain, also begin to transform into a Spider Bugbear monstrosity.

Bo Jackson is fatally injured by the Black Spider as the group begin to fall, losing skeletal minions rather quickly, and others falling unconscious. The situation begins to look very dire and grim, as a only a few are left standing.
