Twisting Through the Bowels of Carcosa (Session 83)

 SESSION 83: ONWARDS TO GOLGOTHA

            After much deliberation at the junction we decided to maintain our bearing even though the passageway was clearly becoming smaller (primary à secondary). Our first challenge came in the form of a drow patrol of substantial size. Much like the swine before them at Checkpoint Charlie these fuckers were most certainly mercenary. Our group lacked the knowledge or possession of that which would allow easy passage. So these guys also wanted a payoff. Our hobos were already tightly clutching their quickly diminishing wealth and were not going to cooperate. This normally would likely have resulted in death by drow but it seems the that the patrol was more interested in getting to CPC in time for dinner. A compromise was reached. In part they would not let our group move past them. No ground for dead beats. We fell back to a previous junction and boogied down a tertiary passage to camp and wait for the patrol’s passing down the main passage.

            Camp sucked, especially when a pack of giant lightning spewing gecko things surged forth from the perpetual blackness. After finishing our rest cycle, we returned to the passage now that the patrol had passed by. We eventually came to a small chamber that was a roost for a clan of rust bats. They were not cool but quickly neutralized once we got our bearings. The buggers did mess up Sloth’s mighty shield. 

            We pressed on from the chamber returning to the passageway our journey continued. Back on a well-used primary tunnel. A couple of hours later we fell into gigantic gallery big enough to fit a City and some. Deciding to navigate the chamber along its western perimeter we passed a few passages before going down on of the secondary pathways. We entered a chamber that was home to a multi-tentacled column like creature. The main body was largely mouth that wanted to be filled with murderhobo. A couple got close but we were able to chop it down just in time. It was decided that the peripheral chambers were not the safest places to explore. We back tracked to the main gallery.
