Into the Wastes

Expedition

The party ventures into the Wastelands in search of a replacement component for Snorri's invention. Along the way, they must brave desolate conditions and frightening aberrations known as Eldrazi.
  After encountering and slaying a lone Eldrazi, the party came upon a pair of Elves afflicted by a strange condition that rapidly dehydrated them when out of water for too long. They were discovered to be enthralled by Broodlings, which were dispatched, freeing them from their control. Using his Artificer magic, Snorri was able to heal their condition, and the elves were recommended to see Nythin about possible work as the group ventured on.
  They found the Desicated Lake wherein the Broodmother resided. Sneaking up, they attacked it while housed in its dormant chrysalis form, killing its Broodlings and even an infected Giant Crocodile. Pending a hole in the cocoon, Snorri was able to extract his component, a strange pulsing sac. The party retreated as the Broodmother emerged. Dodging its many tentacle attacks, they successfully blinded the aberration and fled. Snorri's Clockwork Panther was infected with the Broodmother's disease, forcing him to shut it down and leave it behind in the Wastes.
  Returning to the city, Snorri got to work on his invention while the rest of the party went on a sextuple-date (Calfein + Malcys, Shroomster + Shealtiel, Gothta + Nythin).
