Sessions 51-52.5: White Plume Mountain

General Summary

With the denizens of the upside-down ziggurat defeated (besides Schedule), the Might of the Eldritch Flame turned their attention to proceeding onwards. The invisible barrier blocking access to the next hallway was still active, however.
Lumen managed to summon Bellum on the other side of the barrier. There was a safe and a door at the end of the hallway. When Bellum tried opening the safe, the rest of the glass walls shattered back in the aquarium room, bringing down a wave of glass shards and water towards MEF.
They brave the incoming wave and brainstorm how to get through the barrier. The think to just let the water drain out, and N'nchyk summons a gust of wind to speed up the process.
They get through the barrier and open the door to find a lavish living space inhabited by a halfling. He said he had been trapped in there by the hag years ago after he failed to recover the contents within the mountain.
MEF messed with his vase and the halfling got grumpy. He said he'd show them where Blackrazor was if they left him alone. He lead them back to the area of the knights and then turned into a big scary giant wielding Blackrazor.
They beat each other up for a little bit and then the giant halfling died and MEF went home.

The three to complete the final portion of the dungeon were selected - Viribus, Lumen, and N'nchyk. Bags and bone were in rather rough shape and MEF-Philip was not.
The Chosen Three inspected a circular area for several minutes.
The next area was rather large and filled with water. A couple kelpies tried to bring them underwater but they resisted the urge. N'nchyk then went underwater.
The kelpies had grappling attacks and kept N'nchyk underwater. Luckily, he could breathe. Unluckily, Viribus and Lumen could not.
The latter two dove under the water to save N'nchyk, but the group took a lot of damage as a whole. The next space, through three very opened waterproof doors, was a bubble within the boiling lake. The chest at the end did not contain Whelm and Lumen was then attacked by a massive crab.
The massive crab did massive damage, but the Chosen Three did massiver damage. But then a hag walked in. Lumen wanted to shoot her but the other two followed her into a lab and got electrocuted with the truth. Lumen died instead.
