SESSION 167: Do we loot the tomb or just run?
Definitely loot first. There was a false bottom in the sarcophagus that had treasure and a gas trap but those are never a lasting obstacle for committed hobos. Mucho coin and a few other items of interest. Boris had his fill of this place and promoted a return to Helix. There was some dissent, perhaps we could look at a thing or two on our way out? As this was mulled the group returned to their conversation with Mendelar, perhaps we should destroy it (the ring)? The conclusion was what is done is done but that woman is most likely an evil bitch. With this it was decided that Willy (and Agolloch) would teleport back to the well and drop the ring and payment (gems) from Lady Unari into the black void. This was done. The items appear were devoured by the blackness. I am certain that we will look at teleportation and the concept of ‘well known location’ in the future..
Once the darkness was dispelled in the sepulchre another door was revealed on the south wall. Felix, after reviewing the map, suggested going that way and taking the first western passage it would likely lead to the unexplored chamber east of the slime wall room and thus back to the way they had come in. A little exploration on the way out without having to labour through the floaty chamber again. Boris begrudgingly agreed.
Walking down the corridor they came to a T-junction. To the east were steps descending into water and to the west there was a door and another corridor going further south. There was also two wall mounted bat heads with extended tongues that were obviously levers. “We are taking the other way out, about face hobos!”, Boris the grizzled veteran that he is was in no mood for shenanigans. It took quite some time to backtrack but the absence of wandering things made it alright.
Back up and out of the well the B-Team once more stepped into the decrepit forest that surrounded the last resting place of Mendelar Unari. The trip was not without challenge. A collective of giant crab spiders ambushed the troop and battled with abandon. It’s like the arachno-set have some sort of hate for us, I wonder why?
B-Team got back to Helix and settled in for some rest and recovery right after they sent a messenger back to Lady Unari, along with the initial payment, to report a ‘failure’ to acquire the ring she lusted for. I’m sure she will take the news well. I’m also sure that Felix exhaustively explored the possibilities over dinner and into the night…
