Session 7 – 8/16/2020 Goblins, Orcs, Humongous Spiders, and Giant Mushroom People

Session 7 picks right up after the battle to clear the Pentagram Room with the Coffin. The Party is still sorting out treasure and what this is all about. The Double Doors to the NW open up and out come over a dozen Goblins & Orcs. Some gun fire goes off and the room is full of smoke however most of the Evil Horde has fled the battle field. However their leader is a very capable monster. In a few rounds he has them back only to find himself caught in a hold person spell. The rest of the horde falls to the Party’s Blades. Haffie was furious with a little goblin for instead of attacking it stole his Bag of Holding.

The looting of the bodies was underway. The Party found little monetary fortune but the horde was loaded with useful magical items. Most happy was Felix the Catian at finding a Quiver of Magic Arrows. Haffie recovered his Bag of Holding. Everything was still in there. Turned out the Little Gobly was wearing Gloves of Thievery. Who equips Goblins with such things?

Having found the Goblins Room was just a mercenary barracks. The Group of Adventurers heads out and checks the Secret Door. It is a very long hallway and leads back to the Teleportation Circle Room. The Party realizes there are two doors they have not opened near by. Door One has Four Humongous Spiders in the room. The party is in one of their most dangerous fights. Several members are bitten and infected with Spider Venom.

Once the Party was sure to win the Girl from Greyhawk they rescued from the bottle ran up the stairs to Level 1 of the Dungeon. The Cleric is working some serious OT to patch the Party back up. Do they dare open Door #2?

Yes they do. Insides is a Giant Intelligent Squid / Octopus Creature Sitting on a throne. This is some sort of Throne Room it appears. Most Importantly the beast on the throne has Six Magic Swords held in it’s tentacles. The Young Lady Vaelana feels uneasy around the tentacled beast. The Adventurers CHARGE Attack it. No talking this time. Soon the party has six more magic swords and fresh calamari. They double check the maps they have been making. There should only be one unopened door left. Of course it was the door the Manticore opened and went through.

This is a very big room. The biggest one yet. It has a raised section with stairs. This raised area appears to be a Mushroom Man Farm. There are Seven Giant Mushroom Man Warriors in this room. While the Party is taking in the room and making plans. The Mushroom Man Princess shoots Magic Missiles at them. Then two more Mushroom Men fire Magic Missiles at the party. In this most dangerous fight Steve the Elf is brought to within a second of his life. Vaelana is just able to get to him in time with a Cure Serious Wounds Potion.

The Party is beaten and retreats. While taking a second to make plans. The Cleric uses one of the two charges on his Hat of Making Friends. Along with his Sanctuary Prayer re-enters the Mushroom Man Room. The rest of the Party unsure what to do. They wait for a few minutes. It is worth it as the Cleric comes out dragging a huge chest of magic items. He says peace is made with the Mushroom People. The Party begins the job of hauling all the stuff topside to the camp. After a little rest they make their way towards Teagora’s Manor.
