Smon: Ready to start?
chris107: Yup
Smon: After a short rest, Ursa leads the intrepid band down the west tunnel, which turns north into a chamber of broken gargoyles likely destroyed by Black Sun, then west again.
Smon: Ursa spots the hidden door on the south wall that leads to the stairs down to the Temple of the Elements.
chris107: any sign of recent traffic?
Smon: No, all seems eerily quiet.
chris107: ah...
chris107: Can he hear anything from the West?
Smon: roll wis+prof

chris107: hehe
Smon: nope
chris107: off to a flying start!
chris107: He will set off down the western passage, Grond held in both hands.
chris107: Keeping an eye out for traps involving stone.
Smon: To the west the tunnel comes out into the chamber where you fought wererats and black sun mages, the tunnel off south.
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 3,
Smon: There are still dried bloodstains on the floor but no bodies.
chris107: Hmmm, I don't have a map..
chris107: Have we been south from here?
Smon: Heading south the tunnel opens into a chamber with a green gargoyle face on the west wall, standing out from the other bas reliefs. It looks familiar.
Smon: From here the tunnel runs east - you are in a spiral, closing in on the central staircase.
chris107: Drat! Getting old. I think we need to find our way down.
chris107: We encountered the Trogs in the elemental temple?
chris107: Or maybe head down the spiral?
Smon: The east tunnel leads into a bare chamber, tunnel from there north then west, passing the back of the secret door you should have gone through earlier and ending at an arch in the s wall.
Smon: Looking through the arch you see the great spiral stairs down into the temple.
chris107: Ursa will sniff the subterannean air and listen carfully.
Smon: Cautiously descending the stairs, you come out into the great Temple of the Elements, 4 arches leading off N S E & W. All seems quiet.

Smon: Sandor points the way forward - south then west into the Temple of Water.
chris107: Does Ursa remember where the Trogs came from?
Smon: At the back of the water temple a door leads into the tunnel where you killed Fion, just dried blood now
chris107: Ursa smiles a grim smile.
chris107: "Bitch."
Smon: At the end of that tunnel it reaches doors in E & W walls, the w door opens into an abandoned guardroom, with spiral staircase in the north wall leading down.
Smon: This is as far as you've gone
Smon: Namelin speaks in hushed tone: "Down those stairs?"
chris107: Ursa checks the East door
chris107: To be sure we leave nothing behind us.
Smon: The east door opens into what was Fion's boudoir, where you found your runehammer.
chris107: "After we just check in here Namelin. Don't want any nasty surprises behind us."
Smon: /roll d20
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 14,

Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 8,
chris107: "Let me check ahead down these stairs. I see better in the dark alone. If I fail to return in five minutes. Come rescue me!"
chris107: (Probs the wererats)
Smon: Rasgar hefts his spear: "You got it."
Smon: Yes, looks like wererat prints.
chris107: Ursa pads off .
chris107: No armour-barbarian and in the dark dwarf.
Smon: Ursa sneaks down the spiral stairway... roll a Stealth DEX+Prof check
chris107: His ideal environment.
chris107 rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 8, (+5) = 13
Smon: Ursa descends a long distance.
chris107: Out of practice, spending too much time with civilised humans.
chris107: He counts off silently the depth.
Smon: Nearing the bottom of the stairs, he sees they open into the NW end of a long U-shaped chamber.
chris107: got it
Smon: He hears rumbling voices from round the U bend  "Ere Grond, reckon we'll get any viz-ters today?"
chris107: Dark? Quiet?
Smon: It sounds deep voice, big.
chris107: He looks at his hammer...
Smon: There's no light, with darkvision everything is in shades of grey.
chris107: He tip toes on hopefully silent feet to the U and peaks around.
chris107: (Soz, meant was the chamber illuminated)
chris107: (Or was he still on Darkvision)
Smon: "Them wererats might come agin Bugg... better raise the toll next time!"
Smon: Peeking round the corner, Ursa makes out the hefty forms of two huge Ogres sat on flat rocks, clubs close at hand.
Smon: They smell foul, and wear badly tanned furs.
chris107: (Also, by his count how manyminutes have elapsed?)
Smon: Large bags lie near both rocks
Smon: About 2 minutes
Smon: "Ya think we'll effer get oomanz agin?"

chris107: His ears prick up...

Smon: An ogre casts an eye over the room in the direction of Ursa's hiding place.
Smon: /roll d20-7
Smon rolls 1d20-7 and gets: 9, (-7) = 2
chris107: He shrinks back into the shadows
Smon: You shrink back, remaining unseen in the darkness.

Smon: "Owz da bear?"
chris107: (Interesting converstaions these Ogres have...)
Smon: "Da owl bear?"
Smon: "NAW, STOOPID! Da bear!"
Smon: "Oh.... the BEAR!"
Smon: "Yeah"
Smon: "Oh, eez real sick. Eez too old ta climb ennymore. Ee'll die soon."
Smon: Been about 4 minutes now
chris107: Ursa likes Bears and is sad to hear this.
Smon: "You still feedin' him?"
chris107: His chums should arrive around the 8 minute mark, so he listens for 1 more minute.
Smon: "Oh yeah. Eez likez da Jelleez..."
Smon: "An eez likez da big ratz... hafta killem first, he ain't so fast no more...."
Smon: The ogres lapse into silence for a minute.
Smon: "Oh yeah Bugg, ya know da Owl Bearz?"
Smon: "Yeah?"
chris107: At 7 minutes he will step out around the U bend. Speaking boldly.
Smon: "Saw em wid a ded elf the other day... ere!"
Smon: Ursa steps out.
chris107: "My! What are two smart fellows like you doing down here?"
Smon: The ogres look at you, rising and grabbing their clubs.
chris107: "I heard tell the bear wasn't feeling too good?"
chris107: "Steady on now fellas! We're all on the same side aren't we?"
Smon: "We iz TOLL OGREZ! You gotta payz up or weez eat you gud!"

Smon: The ogres' eyes widen. "The dragon?!"
chris107: "Yeah, she said the Dragon wanted toee me. But then she stopped writing."
Smon: "She?!"
chris107: "Yeah, skinny human bitch. She upset the trogs and said it was up to me to smooth it over with the Dragon."
Smon: They look to each other, relaxing.
chris107: "We go back a long way you see?"
Smon: "Ah yah. Rateez sez human bitch iz ded."
chris107: "Who did you think I was talking about?"
Smon: "Mamma!"
chris107: "Dead? Cripes!"

chris107: "You are just in time."

chris107:
DESTROYERBILL: 1000 coper so 10 gold

Smon: You head down the tunnel, Rasgar in front, Anna holding a lit torch.
chris107: Are we short resting?
chris107: Ursa follows on behind.
Smon: (no) After 40' the passage turns east, and there is a door in the west wall with crude writing on it - "DA BEAR, NO KILLIN"
chris107: "The Ogres said the bear was old and in poor health."
chris107: "But still dangerous."
Smon: To the east the passage runs as far as you can see, with exits or alcoves off to n after 10' & 50' and s after 30'.

Smon: Namelin: "Go ahead, we'll keep watch."
chris107: He bristles up as muchas he can, remembering stories told around the hearth fires of his now dead clan by their shaman.
DESTROYERBILL: brb
chris107: And pushes on the door.
Smon: GM: The door opens onto steps descending to the southern end of a large cavern, a broad ledge overlooking a pool to the north 10' lower down. There is a strong smell of bear.
chris107: "Brother bear? Brother bear? I have come to set you free."
Smon: The cave is about 30' e-w, the north side is out of sight (beyond 60' darkvision)
Smon: Ursa descends the steps, calling out
chris107: He hunts in his pack for meat.
Smon: There is a shuffling, then the bulky figure of a very old, scarred bear appears from the darkness.
chris107: "Brother bear?!2
chris107: Ursa is genuinely sad to see this creature.
Smon: It makes a rumbling sound, mouth open - missing a few teeth - it looks blind in left eye.
chris107: He throws whatever meat he has in it's direction.
Smon: It moves very slowly towards Ursa, crippled by arthritis.
Smon: Ursa throws dried ration meat in front of the bear.
chris107: "My you must have been a fine fellow in your youth."
Smon: It scoops it up happily, eats hungrily.
Smon: "brrm."
8:02pm  2017-6-01 genghisdon Has entered the room
chris107: "Let me take you back to the light, feel the sun on your oldface one more time?"
Smon: make a CHA+prof check w advtg Ursa
chris107: Hey Don
genghisdon: hey, sorry, lost track of time/date
chris107 Rolls 1d20+3x2 and gets:
9 (+3) = 12
11 (+3) = 14
Smon: At the top of the stairs, Gracyone looks down into the cavern, sees Ursa talking to an ancient bear.
genghisdon: huh
Smon: It seems to understand, and looks sadly at the steep steps behind Ursa.
genghisdon: she casts mage tax on herself, and slowly approaches
chris107: He shouts to his friends to help the poor beast out.
Smon: It can only hobble - it'll have a tough time getting upstairs.
genghisdon: "uh, what can I do for you, me bear?"
chris107: Ursa will push and puul, trying not to hurt the beast.
Smon: Namelin & Rasgar join Gracyone looking down.
genghisdon: do i see injuries?
Smon: Ursa make Athletics check.
Smon: /roll d6
chris107: "We have to get this wonderful old fellow back outside."
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 2,
chris107: Ursa is almost in tears.
Smon: It has many old scars and seems blind in its left eye, no fresh wounds.
chris107: strength of the bear gives adv?
Smon: yup
chris107 Rolls 1d20+3x2 and gets:
19 (+3) = 22
11 (+3) = 14
Smon: Ursa sets against the bear's rump and heaves manfully, getting it over the first step.
chris107: "I'll give my life to hunt your dragon, aye and keep you all safe. But help me get this fellow out to the sunshine for one last time?" He pleads.
Smon: Slowly he helps it up the stairs, it seems to be getting more confident.
Smon: Namelin & Rasgar move to assist.
genghisdon: ok, well a haste spell will double his progress, if not make it much easier, but old age & injury makes endurance the issue, so it ought help considerably
*genghisdon casts haste on the old bear*
genghisdon: and then Gracyone backs up, ought of the way
genghisdon: out
Smon: Several minutes later the bear reaches the top of the steps - just 7 dungeon levels to ascend now...
chris107: Ursa will die trying if he must.
Smon: Gracyone Hastes the bear, and you head back for the spiral stairs.
Smon: To cut a long story short...
Smon: 9pm that evening
genghisdon: I've got an idea, you can drink this potions & turn to mist, then float out!
chris107: His big, brave heart is bursting seeing the poor bear in such straights.
genghisdon: haste doesn't last long enough to make that long a journey
Smon: Several hours later you emerge from level 1 of Dyson's Delve with your old bear beneath the starry night
Smon: Yup lasted 1 minute
genghisdon: did gaseous form help?
chris107: "Thank you my friends. I shall not forget your help in this."
Smon: Yes it floated up some steps
genghisdon: probablt lame & lasts a minute or the like too in 5e, but i try
chris107: "Brother bear. Live out your last as you were meant to. Live free!"
chris107: (Ursa is a big softy at heart and like me loves animals  )
Smon: The bear looks around curiously with its remaining eye, feeling the night breeze on its face, then shuffles into the long grass, rooting in the soft dirt.
Smon: Anna Bronze wipes a tear from her eye. "Oh, Ursa!"
chris107: He wipes away a tear.
Smon: A sweaty Rasgar sighs, picking bear fur from his cuirass.
chris107: "Now let's go kill the bastards who did that!"
DESTROYERBILL: yeah
Smon: Namelin: "Well, pushing an arthritic bear up through Dyson's Delve was not what I had in mind..."
genghisdon: ('tis your totem animal too)
Smon: DC 15 CON saves everyone
Smon: CON+prof
genghisdon: "did that? some kind of ageing spell?"
DESTROYERBILL rolls 1d20 and gets: 7,
chris107: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISWOrI0WaLs
genghisdon rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 9, (+5) = 14

Smon: Ursa crit failed so 2 levels of exhaustion, he can barely walk.
genghisdon: eh, we can camp up here, head in in the morning
