Ghost Tower of Inverness - Session 8: Earth Wing Report

General Summary

Relativey short (less than 2 hour session) where the party defeats the elemental room and comes across a halfling fleeing from the dungeon (see below).

Where We Left Off

After bidding farewell to Flippina and wishing her luck on future endeavors the party peers down the forboding hallway beyond the Elemental Room.

The hall has been covered in a chittonous resin (reminiscent of the hives in the Alien movies) with a side entryway about 30 feet down. Sprawling out of the doorway along the floor is multitued of huge tendrils of roots (each around a foot in diameter and filling a15 area of the hallway.

What this alludes to is anyone guess.
