The Slitherswamp and Dweomercore

by Pietr Felborn

After resting in the temple we set back off into the swamp. We avoided a village of Bullywugs to the east of us and ran into a ghost outside another temple. While Espy was speaking to her, an apprentice of Halaster, Karstis, came over to warn us against speaking with her. He was researching the conflict occurring within the swamp. He led us on past the temple and to the passage down to the next level... Dweomercore.
 
When we arrived at the doorstep of the magical academy of the Mad Mage. We were greeted by someone pretending to be Halaster who offered membership to those of the arcane amongst us and to allow us passage if we pay a magic item each, or take care of a problem. The problem turned out to be a Bone Devil, who we agreed to deal with. The result of a summoning gone awry, the fight was likely to be difficult. We were teleported to a room in the complex with a portal to the 14th level and a door warded against devils. We pressed inward and found two bone devils who attempted to bargain with us for their release, but I was having none of it. After they were sent back to the planes of hell, we carried on exploring in the area.
 
The arcanoloth masquerading as Halaster arrived after our resting and told us he had been instructed to give us free reign within the academy and he would clear the yugoloths out ahead of us.
 
We started exploring and found several of Azroks goblins held prisoner, whom we released. Then we ran into a group of friendly rust monsters that seemed to eat magic essence from items instead of iron ones. We jammed that door shut with several of them still inside.
 
After that, we found a portal to level 2 that we had passed through before. Then we noticed Boblin was missing. We found him tied up as the goblins had taken the barrel donkey and his clothes. We'll deal with them when we return to Azrok's clan.
 
We found the way down and decided to take it.

The Slitherswamp and Dweomercore

After resting in the temple we set back off into the swamp. We avoided a village of Bullywugs to the east of us and ran into a ghost outside another temple. While Espy was speaking to her, an apprentice of Halaster, Karstis, came over to warn us against s...

11:26 pm - 03.01.2021

Beyond Madgoth's (The rest of Level 7)

We rested on the roof of the castle then took our leave. After some polymorphing, we flew down to the cavern floor. Once there, we saw the stone giant we spoke with before who attacked us while we were debating whether to talk to it. It effectively ended ...

01:45 am - 07.12.2020

Madgoth's Tiny Castle

We continued our exploration of the tiny castle, finding a portal in a bed room that we briefly took a jaunt through. The other side of the portal was somewhere we had not been before and felt more ... advanced mechanically, copper pipes in lots of places...

01:09 am - 16.11.2020

The Dwarven Temple Part 4

We start back in the museum room with the false wall. A secret door behind the false wall revealed a room containing a swirling tornado of bones. Bronzen was possessed on entry by one called Mournhild, who gave us clues to including having to speak word o...

04:31 pm - 02.11.2020

The Dwarven Temple Part 3

We carried on through the temple and ran into a few invisible creatures guarding more portals. During the fight, Rhys activated the one while blowing on his flute. Another was activated by the silence spell. This whole complex is a hub of portals, and str...

12:24 am - 19.10.2020

The Dwarven Temple Part 2

As we finished our rest, we were joined by Spath, a bard from another place. As he's stuck here, he'll join us for now. We were then inundated by messenger paper birds for Espy to come back to the surface. Given the sheer amount and the fact they were fro...

12:37 am - 05.10.2020

The Dwarven Temple (Level 6, or 5 adjacent)

Went topside to retrieve Bronzen, Bronzen cured the curse on Ussta, and we crashed at the Tavern for the night. Grandma left a note, they've moved on from Silvermoon to the Moonshae Islands. They're wintering there, trying to avoid the troubles grippin...

12:53 am - 21.09.2020

Level 5 - The Forest

The Kuo-toa let us know that the easiest way to the next level is carrying on down the river, so we retreated to the drow rafts and continued on. As we paddled, we entered an area of what appeared to be a sunlit forest. The cavern roof gave way to sky, o...

12:32 am - 07.09.2020

Level 4 - The Aboleth

The news that an Aboleth was fouling the waters ignited a fire within the party. Rhys particularly seemed adamant that we face and defeat it. I'm game, as a abomination such as it should be removed as a threat. The group did a fair amount of shopping in p...

01:09 am - 17.08.2020

Level 4 - The Delve Continues

Our first steps further into the level led to an encounter with some tendril'ly rock thing, but it did not prove much trouble after Rhys knocked it out with some magic. Beyond that were drow. So many drow. There were drow anyways... They had a decent s...

12:30 am - 20.07.2020

Level 3 - The Rest

It's been a long while and a busy time. My journal is past due updating. The temple was a major revelation on a number of points for us all, and Tharix decided to remain in the temple to restore it to glory. As we moved through this level, many Hous...

12:06 am - 06.07.2020

Level 3 - The Temple of Bentaxa

After our rest, we were joined by Tharix and a newcomer wizard named Andras from the Feywild apparently. We made our way to the Temple we bypassed earlier, given Tharix's interests. Upon approaching the temple which appeared to be in a cave of fossiliz...

01:07 am - 30.03.2020

Level 3 of the Dungeon

We headed down to the third level today and were pretty much directly into a Malarkin Dwarf Tomb. I toasted them silently with a sip from my new flask of Malarkin Ale courtesy of Bronzen. The dust suggests that every other denizen of this hole in the gr...

03:27 pm - 16.03.2020

Level 2 of the Dungeon Cont'd

After swallowing the difficult pill that allying with the Zhentarim was, I need to console myself in some smiting of Xanathar's Faction members. It was the alliance of most sense, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. The last outpost of the Xanat...
