Stripped to the Bone

General Summary

Using the morning hours to collect their gear and wits for the adventure ahead, the party met up with Professor Liam Gibbitz at the sewer entrance. As they moved through the darkened tunnels, relying on darkvision elixirs to avoid giving their their location away, they were surrounded by the putrid scent of potion and magic mixing chaotically in the liquids below them. They were eventually set upon by animated pieces of green flesh mixed with bone and keratin. As the creatures were killed, their screams in death were that of an elderly male goblin.   After some pointed discussion, the Professor revealed their bleached skull visage and explained that they had been experimenting with a new mutagen but missed the Gorgames to test it during the reset window, and chose to push forward in equal parts hubris and impatience. The mutagen did protect his vital organs in a way as they extricated themselves from his form and fled into the city. He followed it to the sewers, but was unable to follow any further.   Stela recognized a larger splashing creature up the larger pipes and smaller ones down a side channel. As they inched along the side channel, the odor grew in intensity and they found themselves in front of a drainage pipe. Large enough to traverse, but small enough that it would put the party's new friend Gourm at risk of not being able to use their shield the party contemplates whether to double back or press on.
