Wash it away

The stench is nauseating, the acrid fumes sting their eyes and the lining of their noses but the party move forward anyway. What choice do they have? The tunnel’s obviously been caved in behind them, forcing them into a trap.
Using the light from their various torches and magics, Marlon and Volkon lead the way.
Soon, the walls, ceiling and floor of the tunnel get narrower, rougher and more naturally formed. This just confirming what everyone was thinking…
They'd chosen the wrong path, giving the Death-worshippers and Dark-elves an uncontested path back to the dragon skull.
That, at least, won’t be an issue though. The Skull is broken and some its teeth safely reside in Bastien’s Knapsack and the magical backpack; Issack’s innards.
Sereena’s the first to object to their direction.
“By Vecna’s guts, There's shit all over the floor!”
Demitasse tries the placate her.
“Don’t worry, we’re all in this together.”
Sereena scowls.
“We may ‘all be in this together’ but while you’re wearing armoured boots, I’m just wearing silk slippers… Ruined silk slippers!”
Marlon peers back over his shoulder.
“At least it’s only on your slippers. Imagine if you were covered head to toe in it?”
It’s about twenty minutes later that Sereena’s squatting in a corner, trying to comb rancid, liquid excrement out of her long, raven hair. Her expensive clothes and jewellery are caked in foul brown filth.
Flicking away several fat, lazy, black flies buzzing around her head, Sereena glares at Marlon.
“You just had to tempt fate didn’t you? You big doofus!”

On the up side, the Party did get a ‘shower’ of magical items from the three adventurer bodies you pulled out from the offal and tentaclular grip of the Otyugs.

Treasure:

The Three Dead adventures.

Skeletons of dead adventurers but still wearing their colourful finery and majorly setting off: ‘Detect magic’.

Human Barbarian

A really nice looking set of Chain mail armour
A silver Great Axe
An adamantine Ring
A pair of incredibly soft leather Gloves
A Potion

Human Magic user: 

A black Wand decorated with interwoven, fine silver lines 
A small Scarlet & Blue stone
A platinum Ring
A silver dagger
A Potion

Elven Thief:

A matt black Chain shirt 
An eerily glowing Short sword
20 silver Arrows 
A translucent Ring
A Potion

They also had coins to a value of:

4 x Rubies worth 500gp each, 280pp, 1,232gp, 358sp and 261cp

Still more to come…

  1. Kirk thanks for the massive effort you continue to put into this game. It really does go beyond any duty!
    But I'm feeling petulant and just want to say the chances of there being anything for Volkon are minimal at best. I think you are just creating magic for the henchies!

  2. Work avoidance rather than massive effort.
    Unfortunately, most magical items supplied seemed destined for ye old magic shoppe.
    Loads of money but little adventuring use.
    Anything any of you would particularly like?

  3. This posts header made me laugh, due to the hidden word.

  4. what hidden word?

    >> Anything any of you would particularly like?
    better AC (maybe through more dex or a protection ring), more strength, more speed! And - maybe even some more charisma - who knows, maybe I'll do some negotiating!
