genghisdon: I rely on prestigitations to keep dry
chris107: Our lovely guide knew of a sink hole?
Smon: At the battlefield the remains of the Shagpa show signs of butchery and the bugbear corpses are missing, along with about half the beer, mead fish & meats from the wagon.

Smon: Gluck: "Thanks my friends, we'll get this back to Thusia. Bring back any more you find - all the best mead is gone!" Kym smiles at Gracyone and waves goodbye.
genghisdon: "good luck already, Gluck! Half the supplies recovered right off the bat"
*genghisdon blows Kym a kiss*

genghisdon: "I'm glad you boys are here, those goblin bears are beast;ly tough, and the gods of chance favor them constantly"
DESTROYERBILL: my 2nd true love
Smon: Tania winks at Kym too, who winks back, then turns to Ursa and co. "Plenty more beer in the caves I'll bet... Drakonok let's follow your trail."
DESTROYERBILL: bear its gone
genghisdon: bear it's loss u mean?
chris107: "Aye, lets go kill some spiders."
genghisdon: (yay 3 some)
Smon: GM: The trail leads SW up the hill, Drakonok following a faint trace of beer on the wind...
genghisdon: "grilled giant spider is tasty I've heard, let's go find out if that is true!"
DESTROYERBILL: beerrrrrrrrrrrrrr
DESTROYERBILL: i smell it
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will see if he can find tracks again
Smon: The trail tops a rise, bending round the SE as it comes down into a heavily wooded dell.
genghisdon: (bill: is your dragonborn leveld up?_)
DESTROYERBILL: yes
Smon: Sandor sees a sinkhole at the bottom of the dell. An old hemp rope tied to a treestump descends into the dark hole.
chris107:
genghisdon: "uh, obvious ambush spot, these are snaeakier than your average bear..."
Smon: A faint sound of rushing water can be heard from the dark hole.
chris107: Does the rope look servicable?
Sandor Sunneson: he'll use the torch on bane to point into the dark hole
genghisdon: "wait a moment"
Sandor Sunneson: and see if there is anything there
genghisdon: I circel over & then levitate down
chris107: Nice
genghisdon: oh, cast mage armor on myself, Tania & anyone else first?
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will provide the light from Bane
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor?
genghisdon: minro image of a female bugbear overtop me as i go down
genghisdon: minor
chris107: nice touch
Sandor Sunneson: artistic
Sandor Sunneson: lovely
Smon: The rope still looks fairly sturdy. Sandor plunges Bane into the hole, it lights up an enormous cavern perhaps 45' below, the rope hanging 5' off the ground.
genghisdon: well, for the furries out there, maybe
genghisdon: (did anyone else need mage armor?)
Smon: You can see rocky debris on the cavern floor, and strange plantlike growths that might be fungi.
genghisdon: (or mage tax, as it ought be called?)
Sandor Sunneson: cavern empty I guess?
Smon: Gracyone floats down as a bugbear.
chris107: (I'm good thanks Don)
genghisdon: minor image: a glowing bat buzzes the fungi, in case they animate
Sandor Sunneson: Is there a stage in the corner where there are beatles playing musical instruments in this cavern?
genghisdon: (there might be now, good idea)
genghisdon: I send of glowing bats for a couple rounds, ligth the place up a bit
genghisdon: off
Smon: Emerging from the hole into the cave, its vastness become apparent - at least 150' across, the sinkhole towards the nw corner. Ledges rise 10-12' from the cave floor to sw and e, while a massive central pillar supports the roof se of the sinkhole, blocking view in that direction.
genghisdon: redo bugbear disguise as needed
genghisdon: seems good enough, flaot back up to let the others know to come on down
genghisdon: then descend again & drink an anti toxin
Smon: The central pillar is surrounded by gradually rising ledges, the tallest nearly 30' from the cave floor.
Smon: OOC oh yeah Amanda had 2 more antitoxin for you this morning.
genghisdon: cool, buy them
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 2,

genghisdon: (dwarf has adv vs poison already chrius?)
Smon: Tania: "Guess we go down - look out for Old Bill's bones, they say he had a good sword!"
chris107: Oops sorry
chris107: ignore
genghisdon: If she & the otehrs are doen here, I give Tania an anti toxin to drink
chris107: "And a magical gem that speaks with plants?"
genghisdon: anyone else think they need one?
genghisdon: "yes, that gem intrigues me"
Smon: Tania nods, drinks antitoxin and starts shimming down the old rope.
chris107: Ursa too
genghisdon: (well, i gave her it after she gets down)
Smon: Followed by Ursa.
Sandor Sunneson: And Sandor
Smon: Everyone descends the rope and assembles on the floor of the cavernous wonderland amidst swaying silver-green fronds.
chris107: "A fine cave indeed!"
genghisdon: "it is impressive...Ursa, what wat ought we go?'
genghisdon: way
chris107: Ursa will follow Sandor as he has promised
Sandor Sunneson: East?
Smon: To the south about 20' the ground rises up 9' or so in a ledge, while to the ne you see a tunnel mouth in the north wall at ground level choked by webs.
genghisdon: ? "i presume you know more about caves than we, or am i beign a racist again?'
chris107: He looks forward to smashing more skulls with Grond.
Sandor Sunneson: spiders that way
Smon: The central pillar blocks se, but looking e you see a ledge against the east wall rising 12'.
Sandor Sunneson: possibly
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 2,
Sandor Sunneson: head for the ledge?
genghisdon: "well, we have anti toxins a goin', do the spiders now then?'
Smon: The sound of water comes from the east/se past the pillar.
chris107: "Aye let's go kill us some spiders, can you burn the webs Gracy?"
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor knows that stalagmites come up from the ground heading up and that stalagmites come down from the ceiling heading down
6:43pm  2017-4-19 DESTROYERBILL Has entered the room
genghisdon: can i..hee hee HAha HAHA HA
chris107: (Yeah we are all anti toxined, now would be good for spider hunting)
chris107: And it will give Bill and I something to kill
Smon: Tania: "Burn on Gracy!"
genghisdon: gracy burns the webs with her ignition touch (first ever use of it?)
DESTROYERBILL: killlllllll bugsssss
DESTROYERBILL: and stuf
Smon: Gracyone steps over to the webs and burns them away.
chris107: Ursa stand close to Gracy to protect her from any spiders that may approach
genghisdon: laughing liek a complete madwoman as she does so (u guys might wanan recall that handicap)
genghisdon: I'll toss some firebolts in them for good measure
Smon: About 10' depth of webs burn away, then beyond the tunnel widens and you see spiders!
chris107: (Ursa likes her jolly demeanor)
Sandor Sunneson: good for moral
genghisdon: time or init?
DESTROYERBILL: kill
Sandor Sunneson: how many??
chris107: Init?
DESTROYERBILL: kill
Smon: No, spider husks - the giant hulking forms aren't moving, indeed they look slightly dusty, and curled up.
genghisdon: (heh, yes, but poor for stealth...0
DESTROYERBILL: kill
Smon: They are piled one atop the other, bodies around 3' across.
genghisdon: "dead ones? victims?'
chris107: Ursa grunts and goes smashes a few husks up
Sandor Sunneson: snoozing spiders,
DESTROYERBILL: kill
genghisdon: "odd"
chris107: (We went to Tropical world today and saw loads of spider husks  )
genghisdon: mage hand to peel soem webs off one
Smon: There are more webs at the far side of the tunnel which leads nw, from which comes a faint breeze.
genghisdon: (topical visit to tropical world Chris!)
genghisdon: "is this their moltings then?
chris107: Again Ursa stands guard o n Gracy
Smon: Peeling the webs away, Gracyone sees what looks like incisions in the spider - two deep cuts, spaced a hand's width apart.
Smon: right behind the eyes.
genghisdon: '"well, this one got killed, I think"
chris107: "Old Bill and his magical sword no doubt?"
genghisdon: mage hand peels another to see if it was a trendy thing to do
Smon: All the spiders show similar wounds, always paired marks.
genghisdon: fangs of a spider?
Smon: Tania: "Sword? No, see how it's always two together - fangs, yes!"
genghisdon: insight roll to determine wound making cause?
Smon: Definitely looks like fangs to Gracyone.
Smon: Investigation - INT+Prof
genghisdon: ok, no need
Smon: Or Nature
chris107: Ursa is impressed
Smon: if you're a DRuid

6:50pm  2017-4-19 Smon Has entered the room
Sandor Sunneson: lol
chris107: Nice!
genghisdon: genghsi don is a druid apparently, heh
chris107: Or DESTROYERBILL
genghisdon: I'll compare the distance between fanfs of these 3' spiders to the distance for the death wounds
genghisdon: fangs
Smon: Not sabretooth cats... Definitely vampires, thinks Drakonok.
genghisdon: was it a bigger spider, the same size or other?
Smon: But too big for human vampires - more like ogre sized.
genghisdon: vampire spiders? yuvk
chris107: Cripes, we are looking for King Spider
genghisdon: bugbear vampires
DESTROYERBILL rolls 1d6 and gets: 1,
Smon: Seems probably too wide apart even for bugbear mouths.
genghisdon: I'll compare the distance between fanfs of these 3' spiders to the distance for the death wounds
Sandor Sunneson: Does Sandor sense anything with his Barb sense abilities?
DESTROYERBILL: i fish some garlick out of my magick food only pouch
Smon: They don't match the spider's own mouths.
Smon: (no Fergus)
DESTROYERBILL: and use it to garlick my arows
genghisdon: how much larger, if any?
Smon: Maybe an Ogre sized head would have incisors this far apart.
Smon: Tania: "Curiouser & curiouser..."
Sandor Sunneson: How dark is it? Sandor suggests using Bane to light up room
genghisdon: ok, i am off course, and goign about sipiders, but i will drop it
Sandor Sunneson: ?
genghisdon: if the others are ready, I'll burn more webs
genghisdon: & keep going
Smon: You are using Bane to light up the room.
chris107: Ursa is ready
chris107: Grond over one shoulder
Smon: Gracyone burns away the webs beyond, revealing several more spider corpses - 14 in all - before you come out into the SE end of a large cavern split by a central cavern, a rough statue against the W wall.
Smon: Those of you who fought the bandits recognise it.
Smon: The ledge down to the bandit lair is to the NE.
Smon: /roll d6
genghisdon: look around for danger before examining the statue
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 2,
chris107: We been here before
Sandor Sunneson: was this against the group of thugs from about 3 sessions ago?
Smon: An 8' ledge runs from your position SW of the canyon to the statue.
genghisdon: (i did not, what is the statue please?)
chris107: Ursa watches over Gracy like a mother bear.
chris107: It was Fergus
genghisdon: a statue of fegus is here?
Smon: Gracyone looks around then heads over to the statue, covered in spiderwebs.
genghisdon: fergus?
Sandor Sunneson: lol
genghisdon: (burn the webs away)
Smon: It's broad and squat, about 8' high.
Sandor Sunneson: They didn't even ask!
Sandor Sunneson: cheeky so and sos
Smon: As Gracyone burns the webs away, she sees the leering female bugbear face of the statue, carved from the bedrock.
genghisdon: "not a good likeness of fergus"
chris107: Some bugbear goddess?
genghisdon: "nice, i picked theitr mother goddess right off"
Smon: By the bulbous stomach, furry hide and pendulous breasts, some bugbear mother/fertility goddess.
*genghisdon gives herself a similar face*
genghisdon: "this look right?'
chris107: Yes your illusion spell will be worth it's weight in gold
genghisdon: well ,that is zero, but thanks anyway
genghisdon: know/religion check please
genghisdon rolls 1d20+3 and gets: 19, (+3) = 22
chris107: the dice are with us tonight
Smon: The chasm is about 16' deep, littered with lumps of desiccated meat wrapped in spider silk, rocks and debris.
chris107: Check the silk wrapped victims in case one is Old Bill?
Smon: Could be bugbear version of Feninva?
Sandor Sunneson: Gracyone is knowledgable on goblinoid based deities
genghisdon: ok (she is?)
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 4,
Sandor Sunneson: http://dd5wohfwyspagrozy.obsidianportal.com/wikis/feninva-goddess-of-blood
chris107: eww
*genghisdon tells the others about this blood gawdess*
genghisdon: "vampires indeed"
chris107: Ursa spits at her name.
Smon: Faint daylight comes from the nw end of the cave where it leads outside.
Smon: Tania: "Bugbears and vampires? Could the bugbears be serving vampires?"
genghisdon: heh, i have the red hair already, easy illusion to add gown & blood, fangs, etc
Smon: Tania shudders as Gracyone assumes the aspect of bugbear-Feninva.
chris107: "Or a Bugbear vampire ?"
genghisdon: "anything could serve vampires, and clearly these bugbears have or had a cult here"
genghisdon: "I vant yer blaad~!" scare Tania
Smon: Tania jumps. "eek!"
chris107: hehe
Smon: "Hey, don't do that!"
genghisdon: heh
Smon: She tries to resume her composure.
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 3,
genghisdon: "back the other way then, or is there more this way guys?'
DESTROYERBILL: hahahahahahahahahahah
Smon: Tania: "Seriously, let's be sure to get out of here before dark..."
genghisdon: too late, jinxed us
Sandor Sunneson: Shall we finish off the nw part of the cave??
Smon: GM: There's a door out from the NE end of the cave, you know the bandit caves are beyond there.
genghisdon: sure, i didn't realise you had been here before, lead on"
DESTROYERBILL: brb
chris107: Yeah some bandits fled
chris107: We looted and retreated.
Sandor Sunneson: that's true, don't remember it too clearly though
genghisdon: "probably all vampires or vampire slaves by now then"
Sandor Sunneson: ok, we'll go on to that part of the cave, yes?
genghisdon: sure
chris107: "Bah they all have skulls to crush!"
chris107: Sure
Smon: Going back to the se end of the cavern you can skirt the chasm and take the ne side of it either nw out of the cavern, or ne to former bandit lair.
chris107: hmmmm
Sandor Sunneson: bandit lair?
chris107: Any recent prints?
Sandor Sunneson: Any tracks to give clues away?
Smon: GM: Working your way down a trail that descends a steep slope you find the door to the bandit lair ajar.
Smon: The room beyond is abandoned, splashed with dried blood.
chris107: Any sounds?
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 3,

Sandor Sunneson: Can one retrieve arrows?
Smon: ooc what illusion spell is Gracyone using?
Smon: Yes you can recover them
genghisdon: I'll send another fake spider out there, in case there are more of them
genghisdon: minor illusion
DESTROYERBILL: okay
Sandor Sunneson: back to 20,
chris107: Ursa follows the illusion again.
Smon: ok your minor illusion can't actually move Don
genghisdon: MINOR ILLUSION lIlusion cantrip Casting Time: 1 action Range: 30 feet Components: 5, M(a bit of fleece) Duration: 1 minute Voucreate a sound or an image of an object within range that lasts for the duration. The illusion also ends if you dismiss it as an action or cast this spell again. lf you create a sound, its volume can range from a whisper to a scream. It can be your voice, someone else's voice, a lion's roar, a beating of drums, or any other sound you choose. The sound continues unabated throughout the duration, or you can make discrete sounds at different times before the spell ends. lf you create an image of an object-such as a chair, muddy footprints, or a small chest-it must be no larger than a 5-foot cube. The image can't create sound, light, smell, or any other sensory effect. Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it. lf a creature uses its action to examine the sound or image, the creature can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save De. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the illusion becomes faint to the creature.
Smon: it has to fit in a 5' cube
genghisdon: oh, figured a 3' giant spider did
genghisdon: sorry
Smon: "image of an object" within a 5' cube.
genghisdon: will sop that then

Smon: Tania nods at Gracyone's whisper.
genghisdon: mage hand undoes the latch
genghisdon: ( is out of character)
genghisdon: (but no worries!)
Smon: Suddenly you see the door rattle, just as Gracyone raises the latch.

Smon: Following the tunnel round past the 2nd door (latched from the far side you think) it opens into a cave from which stairs lead up to the south.
Smon: The breeze comes from there.
Smon: Tania sneaks ahead, bow ready, up the stairs.
chris107: A fresh smelling breeze?
genghisdon: i follow in the middle of the group, hopefully
chris107: Ursa follows the brave lass
Smon: Yes. The stairs lead up to the n end of a broad ledge along the e wall of the great cavern, lit by daylight from the sinkhole about 70' to the west.
Smon: The ledge is 12' high, to the south you can see a mushroom forest around an underground lake.
Smon: NW of the lake the central pillar rises, with the western ledges on either side of it, about 9-10' high.
genghisdon: "I guess bugbears don't like the taste of shrooms"
Sandor Sunneson: anything on the summit of the pillar?
DESTROYERBILL: lets kill some more stuff

genghisdon: ah
Smon: (as I said before)
genghisdon: well, where do u guys think critters lurk then?
chris107: I'm not sure, we did't check the silk wrapped bodies did we?
Smon: At least one tunnel leads off SW from the cavern wall above the western ledge on the far side.
chris107: Any secret or hidden doors?
chris107: Or the split before the bandit rooms/
genghisdon: minor illusion: sounds of bubears screams
genghisdon: or we go into this giant cavern
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will shine Bane onto the cave walls to see if there are any unexpected openings
Smon: The 'lake' on closer inspection is flowing slowly into a cleft along the s wall of the great cavern.
genghisdon: I'm fine w whatever, but maybe iu drew attention there
Sandor Sunneson: Climb the ledge and followit?
chris107: Or levitate?
genghisdon: if that makes sense, I will levitate up & check it out
Smon: There is a sandy beech before the river, and clear human sized boot prints lead down to it.
genghisdon: ok, that sounds good
chris107: ooooo
Smon: Where is Gracyone going?
Sandor Sunneson: hmmm
genghisdon: to the sandy beach, but hopefulyl not alone
Smon: YOu can all climb down from the ledge 12' to the mushroom forest, ok?
Smon: OOC stopping at 9.30
genghisdon: sure, although i float down
chris107: Okay, thanks
genghisdon: ooc, so now then? thansk for the game Simon, glad you all played
Smon: Tania climbs down, others following I take it. Moving through the mushroom forest you soon reach the shore of the pool, the south side clearly a river moving at decent speed.
Sandor Sunneson: 5 minutes
genghisdon: try to follow the tracks
Smon: The river enters the cave from a vent in the east wall of the cavern, running west and opening out into the pool before exiting through the south wall.
Smon: The tracks lead right to the water's edge towards where the river flows out.
Smon: It looks like they enter the pool.
Sandor Sunneson: how wide is the river?
genghisdon: what is the water of the pool like?
Smon: /roll d20+6
Smon rolls 1d20+6 and gets: 9, (+6) = 15

Smon: The pool is about 30' wide at widest, the narrowest area east of the pool about 12' wide.
Smon: South of the river the cavern wall rises sheer.
genghisdon: murky? current?
Smon: You reach the sandy beach.
Sandor Sunneson: can you see the bottom of the pool?
Smon: The water is slightlymurky. There is almost no current in the wide pool, but faster along the s wall.
Smon: Suddenly pale human figures begin to rise out of the pool, raising white arms towards you!
chris107: eek
Smon: Men and women, pale as death, with an odd eldritch beauty to them despite their feral features.
genghisdon: well, i was about to go for a swim, so that's handy
8:31pm  2017-4-19 DESTROYERBILL Has entered the room
