21st of Vlez, Year 865

by Thymeros Grispira

Eventually we stumbled across a stone fortress, the front doors guarded by a pair of giant rat men. We decided that discretion was the better part of valor, and stealthily bypassed the fortress, instead fighting some magma elementals. We moved on from there and ended up fighting and killing some kind of humanoid slug creature. I found an awesome looking rifle. Legend has it that this is the “Sniper of the High Seas,” believed to belong to the quartermaster of Gozreh themselves. Even if it’s not true, it’s still a beautiful weapon. When we moved on, I found drider tracks. Thanks to the information I got from Meara, I was able to enlighten the party about some aspects of drow culture, especially where it concerns driders. We entered the fortress through a magical door, and fought some demonic animated dolls. If I ever have children of my own, none of them will be allowed to have dolls (at least until I have recovered from this ordeal!). We went deeper into the fortress. We encountered a couple drow on the “ground” floor. We killed one and the other fled. They were guarding something also protected by a symbol of death. We went up to the “first floor,” and killed a drow (presumably the one that had fled earlier) and some sort of undead warrior. The warrior was guarding some kind of chest with a weird combination lock. I tried fiddling with the lock, but ended up spawning two giant double-headed snakes. We killed the snakes and reset the combination. We eventually solved the puzzle, and inside the the chest was a keystone that would “deactivate” the symbol of death. After recovering this stone, we decided to barricade the door and rest for the night.
