Session 9: Belak's Laboratory

General Summary

Picking clean the bodies of the kobolds the adventuring group recovered from their wounds and collected the treasures and key from the kobold throne. Their path back to the twilight grove on the lower level of the Sunless Citadel went unobstructed from kobolds or goblins. Opening the wooden door at the base of the vines the party explored the various rooms of Belak's laboratory.

The party found a collection of goblins working on tasks of wine making, surgery, sleeping, and repairing armor. Slaying all of the goblin commoners the group cut what ears they needed for their quest and proceeded deeper bast a stockroom to find themselves in a large hallway covered in plants. Pushing open a stone door they defeated another fire snake and retrieved the two sapphires from its nest. As they continued north down the hall a bugbear gardener attacked them with a glaive. The bugbear was killed and his had was taken by Hadden. Opening another stone door the party fell into combat with three skeletons and a need blight. After defeating the enemies Damelia and Rowan collected some plants for later use.

At the end of the hall the group found a shrine statue of a dragon emanating a red light around the room. By reading the draconic gyphs on the ground Dameila was enveloped in smoke and received a temporary boon to her charisma. Her perception aided her in the next room as she recovered two magic scrolls and a scaled book of dragon lore from a pile of paper scraps on the floor. Thoril lead the team through an underground corridor that bent south. At the end of the passage were two doors. Unable to unlock the first door the party pushed the other door into a grand cavernous chamber covered in soil and vines. Underneath a great twisted briar archway, four goblins notice the intruders and charge them with a battlecry WAAAAGGGHH!
