Session 6 1/14/23

When I woke up to take my turn on watch, Verna informed me that the evil orc Vorg had a secret lair, but she didn't know exactly where it was. I kept an eye out for it during my watch, and located where the entrance was.
 
Vorg left without noticing me and the following morning we all investigated where the entrance was. The door was just a magical illusion and we were able to enter.
 
The facility had some sort of suspended animation set up to transfer the soul of one person into a changeling. This would explain how Vorg was able to gain so much influence in town! Several high profile townsfolk were present. We were not able to rescue anyone; it seems like we'll need the changeling to send the soul back first.
 
In the main area of the facility, we battled baby beholders. They were not too strong, but Rex decided to burn them all. With us next to them. He wasn't happy about coming in the first place. Is he working with Vorg? Was he trying to kill us and not the baby beholders?
 
At the back end of the facility, there was a sealed door. I cut a hole in the door to see what was in there, but I damaged my sword on the process. Rex repaired it immediately. Is he friendly or just trying to throw me off?
 
In the hole, there were some guardians. Rex went rabid and spent the next ten minutes melting them! I fortunately was able to salvage a javalin before he destroyed everything.
 
We peered into the hole and beheld a live beholder! Well an undead beholder. Fortunately it was safely confined. However, Rex tried to free it! He went so far as to try to steal my sword! He must be working against us. The rest of us left the facility while Rex tried to free it. We'll deal with it and him later.
 
Back at camp, we rested from out excursion. Some guards came to inspect our golem, but we were able to get them to leave. What is going on?
