Session 012: Under the Ruins Report
General Summary
Outding Refuge Temple Ruins,
Outding Refuge
The party returns to the cave in the hopes of finding
Jacoby Drexelhand. On the way through the jungles, they notice the snow has completely receded to the mountain where the lair powers of the
Dragon have put an eternal winter on the mountain. They also see a lot more growth and rebirth as the native jungle
Plants are able to once again grow better, and there seem to be more insects that tend to hibernate in the cold.
They return to the
Ruins and climb back down the rope. They get back to where they left the Devourer and
Nothic corpses, and it seems as if they are floating in the air, slowly moving forward; there seems to be a slight shimmer in front of them.
It turns out they are being gestated inside a
Gelatinous Cube

The party continued to follow the path that they took last time, and they noticed that this area was really clean. It seems the
Gelatinous Cube is like a Swiffer wet mop.
Out of the shadows, the party sees a large floating eyeball thing.
They see a flying nightmare of eyes and tentacles floating in the air. This large 6 foot in diameter lump of flesh with ten long red tendrils on the top that go into all directions, each with a strange eye-looking lump on the ends.
From the bottom, you see these four sickening and scary-looking tentacles that hang down and writher around just as the eyestalks do. They seem to surround some lamprey-looking maw that you only see flashes of as the tentacles wriggle and move. These are all tipped in purple, which has a gradient into the reddish-brown of the body.
In the middle of the beast, you see a large central eye. Black large and with the yellow sclera.
It looks at them...
It asked with
Telepathy if the party meant to harm. It used to be a
Beholder, turned to this monstrosity by the
Mindflayers in the now-empty colony. When they all died off, he was abandoned but found a new family. The
Mindflayers did a lot of experiments where they tested putting larvae into different creatures to see results. It is called a
Mindwitness. His "family" is taking care of the other "humans," which seems it might be
Jeets and his crew.
They ask if they can go there, and he leads them; behind the party, a couple of large walking mushrooms begin to follow them.
t Encounter Experience: 1800 (450 each) | Total: 4,214 (GOAL: 6,500) t
They walk through an
Illusion of a wall into a large cavern with a wide variety of mushrooms on all sides. It is full of a
Living mushroom creature society as well. These are
Myconids.
They blow a cloud of spores which allows them to communicate with strange, trippy
Telepathy. The other party is in a trance, and
Cellymas wakes up to talk. They are trying to help
Pradam Estorich with his PTSD since shrooms can help with such problems.
The
Myconid are having a
Troll problem. It has taken over a nearby water source, and the
Myconid want its body.
They decided to help. So they went to the caverns on the other side of the
Myconid Colony "Under" Outding Refuge. The trails have a western passage that leads to the
Mind flayer Colony an Eastern tunnel which leads to
The Underdark.
South to the
Troll.
The Battle:
☠️* Shadow
☠️* Sas
(Shadow decapitated him, he came back with regeneration and Sas killed the body with Shadow doing the killing blow to the head.)
t Combat Experience: 1800 (450 each) | Total: 4,664 (GOAL: 6,500) t
The
Myconid were very pleased with how you were able to help them. You see them take the
Troll to the Sovereign, and they begin to prep the body with all types of little mushrooms and fungi.
You see the
Myconid puff up another cloud of tiny spores and as you all breath in another batch of the spores; you are now able to communicate with them again. You get an overwhelming sense of gratitude as they all are very excited about your success.
And so the party took a long rest which only took 5 hours in this
Myconid Colony "Under" Outding Refuge.
The plan is to go the colony path.
**Long rest with the Myconid, plan to continue on colony path**
