Session Seven

I cut my finger making dinner so I'm typing withou=t a left index finger so excuse any typos :/
 
Is roday finally the day Radiance dies? It's long overdue let's be honest.
One can only hope.
 
I rouse feom my rest and we're ready to explore more of this sunken city.
OH YEAH AND I'M GONNA CONTROL MEEPO THIS TIME
I'm gonna grab a bit of glowing fungus.
I push Meepo in the wheelbarrow, he is a king and should be treated as such.
ONCE AGAIN
THE FIRST ROLL
IS A NTURAL TWENTY
To listen at a door.
 
Corridor split open by a natural rift, riddled with 2ft holes that smell hot.
Cross, continue to the other side. Carries on, then there's a door.
We'll open it!
SECOND NAT 20 TO KICK IN THE DOOR (it's stuck)
Faded mosaic tiles on the walls. Mostly fallen and shattered. In the centre, iron pedestal shaped like an upright dragon with an empty tray in its mouth.
Gonna pick up some broken mosaic tiles. Nothing else. Pet the dragon nose.
Dead end? Back up to the other door in the original garden room.
 
Something is snoring on the other side of this door, and something is squelching. Gross.
Long column lined hall, covered in fungus. Many small wooden tables, with a bunch of alchemy/cookery tools.
Bunch of doors leading off, all open.
Snoring coming from th left and squelching from the right.
 
The squelching is two gobbos treading out grapes. I cast a big spider on the ceiling and scare them.
Casks are full of goblin wine - the Outcast likes it. Three other gobbos asleep, five or so down rhe hall. Some armed but not much muscle.
Belak the Outcast has been here a while, this is his place. He does stuff with plants and magic. He's human. Has a big frog.
Flick them some copper. Bribe and threaten them - spider will follow them every night until he catches them.
Close the door and Radiance whooosh big oof that was stressy.
 
OKAY PHOEBE PROBABLY STARTED A NEW JOURNAL HERE BUT I DIDN'T SAVE THIS ONE SO WE'RE STILL GOING
It's been a few days and my finger is healed!! You'll be happy to hear! So hopefully not typos!
 
Meepo and I sneak into the north room with the sleepy gobbos. Rough barracks, 16 pallets of matted fur, two of which are currently occupied with sleeping gobbos - one on his own, two snuggled up.
Can't see any weapons, so sneak back out and try to wedge the door blocked.
 
Two active gobbos to the north, repairing something. 3 gobbos doing something nasty to the south - sounds like a giant rat being tortured. Far east doors, don't hear anything.
Don't really want to fight them all? That seems like a bad idea? So let's try to sneak past.
Far north is weapon storage with another door, far south is empty? With a caved in wall?
The cave-in joins up to the rift from earlier so now we have a way around.
 
I REALLY wanna follow the rift further south but Bankroft suggests our quest lies to the north, and we've made ourselves known so we're on a timer now. So we go north.
 
Find our way into a big room, with lots of cool dragon carvings on the wall. Lots of soil and compost, with feeble plants and glowing fungus. Looks like another garden area.
Door to the north, something walking around up there.
Gonna wait a minute by the door, and if it comes through we'll AMBUSH it.
OH NO SOMETHING CAME THROUGH NOW I GOTTA GO THROUGH WITH THIS.
 
UNLOAD on this BUGBEAR and then try to get her to surrender. She looks like she's a gardener - I feel a little bad but fuck it, she's got a fuck off sickle glaive and she's gonna warn Belak.
She RUNS. I'm gonna chase after her.
She's looking *hurt* but not dead yet and I don't want her to get away and I don't really want to have to kill her? If I don't have to?
Oh no she has skeleton friends. Fuck it, it's a fight.
SKELETONS AND A TWIG AND SHE TOOK A HEALING POTION.
Still trying to threaten her, but I am surrounded.
Oh but! Erkey has Turn Undead! Two of them ran!
NO THE SKELETON HIT MEEPO HE ONLY HAS TEN HIT POINTS
MEEPO ONLY HAS 4 NOW!
The lady ran, I missed her. Skeleton succeeded it's Int save!! Rude!
MEEPO IS DOWN
Twig jabs at me, and hits me for 5 damage. 12 HP.
I'm really not liking how this is going??
Healing hands on Meepo! He's back up!
I got Crit Hit with a shovel and now both Meepo and I only have two hit points. Fuuuck.
YAAAAS MEEPO KILLED THE SKELETON
Bankroft blasts the blight.
WE'RE TAKING CHASE AFTER THE GARDENER
IT'S A LONG CHASE.
MEEPO'S SECOND WIND HEALS HIM BACK UP TO FULL.
We're at the end of a long corridor, not seen anyone in the many chambers we've run through. Long corridors are defensible.
 
OH NO GOBLINS
We're all waiting with ranged attacks ready. Meepo rolls two 19s at disadvantage, and a 4 on the d4, kills one goblin.
Bankroft heals me back up to 10.
These goblins just got two nat 20s. Erkey is very hurt, Meepo is on 4HP.
We're getting skewered, it's time to run.
I am on 7 HP
MEEPO KILLS ANOTHER ONE.
I cast minor illusion to make a spooky scary spectral figure fill the corridor, and the goblins get scared of it and run.
So we run the other way.
We're all hurt up this is real bad, we need to find a defensible location and REST.
 
We'll wait in the strange chamber, someone will keep watch down the corridor, and if after like ten minutes it seems like we got away with it, we'll try and find a quiet place to rest up.
 
And that's all for this one! The dice were really NOT with us. I'm kinda pissed. But that's how D&D goes ya know.
