We stumble in to what looks like a disused storeroom in the Asmodean Knot. There are bits and pieces stashed everywhere, and a small source of magic tempts Brennan and Afutavere in to look for it. They are both somewhat startled, but not surprised, when an atrophied humanoid stumbles out from behind something and starts […]
Our fears have been mastered. All four rooms have been entered, and we've faced fire, blood, snakes, spiders, and clowns. Something like that. As the final beastie in each room pooed out a gem of sorts we take them all back to the central room and present them to the ghostly voice that told us […]
The spider swarm hits the elf, who fails his third saving throw of the session. He suffers 2 strength damage, to go with his constitution damage from the vipers, which his cat shrugged off, and wisdom damage from earlier in the Asmodean Knot. 'I can't use my bow now because I can't pull it properly', […]
The fourth and final room of phobias has a ceiling covered with webs. 'Spiders!', says Ganelon. 'No, bats!', Brennan corrects him. No, it really is spiders. The webs start rattling and... 'The web's are rattling?', says Ganelon. 'Yes. Do you have a problem with that?' Thinking back to the snake room, Ganelon decides he's okay […]
The next phobia is snakes. As the paladin and ranger walk in to the room vipers appear from holes in the wall and strike! A viper slithers towards the ranger's cat, warps itself around it, and... 'Vipers aren't constrictors', says Ganelon, 'they don't wrap themselves around anything'. 'Oh, undead you have no problem with, but […]
We have three more fears to face, but after fighting fire we can't quite remember what the others are. Something to do with spiders, snakes, and maybe public speaking. We wander down the stairs to the auditorium to get the speech out of the way first only to see wicker cages suspended above us that […]
The tiefling is defeated. But only after his short sword strikes Ganelon and the paladin's eminently failable fortitude saving throw actually fails, thanks to a roll of a natural 1, causing the rest of the party to cheer with sympathy; and the elf's cat companion gets a full-round attack on the tiefling, striking with claws, […]
The door separating the party magically opens again, reuniting bard and mage with monk, paladin, and ranger. Well, I say ranger, it's more that we have a cat with an elf companion. But now we can join the fight against the tiefling, as Brennan and Skelra enlighten us as to the mechanism for the doors' […]
The water slide is behind us, most of the party reaching the bottom unscathed. Only the reckless take a bit of bruising, coming to rather an abrupt stop once the slippery stone turns back to the rather more abrasive dry stone floor. We move onwards, and see what looks to be some chains hanging from […]
The corridor ahead changes to have a circular cross-section, the water from behind making the floor slippery. Yes, we've found the water slide. The agile members of the party aren't too worried, at least not with getting to the bottom of the slide itself. Ganelon in his plate armour is somewhat concerned, but Brennan volunteers […]
