Lightning Round (Session 198)

 SESSION 198: Into the Gaping Wound in Poor Mother Earth

 Our group creeps away from the giant headquarters returning to the ferry and finally go after the treasure in the chasm.

Day 89 continued – Clear (12.20-0206à0304): Nope. That was Bunny and Sasha’s stance. We need the big guns if we want to run into the giant lair. They returned to the ferry and informed Bimbles that operations at the site should enter into ‘covert’ mode. It was decided that they would descend into the chasm in search of the forgotten loot.

Day 90 – Cloudy early rain (12.20- 0304/0405/0406/0505/0504/0604/0704): Setting out for the chasm the group was able to make good time as they were becoming more and more familiar with the local lands and arrived at the destination midafternoon. After some general reconnaissance around the wound in the earth they set up camp and prepared for the incursion.

Day 91 – Clear (12.20-0704à13.20-0503): Into the chasm. It was deep, like super deep (450’). The problem solving rope from Razmuth really did problem solution. At the bottom there were large yellow ants going about their business. Our gang displayed more caution than normal and discovered the ants simply checked them out and then went back to anting. Moving along the sleuths discovered where the ‘X’ was on the map. As “luck” would have it something had burrowed into or from a network of tunnels beyond. It ended up being a lair, of course, and the occupant was a 40’ long twelve legged blue reptile. It was a Behir and it did not like visitors. The creature used its knowledge of the labyrinth of tunnels to run and gun the explorers. It almost killed Willy, forcing Agolloch to teleport his human back to the ferry. The sword had grown fond of it’s ability to take control of Willy at its leisure and the Behir was not actually ‘chaotic’ so killing it was not a priority. Shortly after blasting the rest of the group with a lightning bolt Saff was able to ping the monster with a confusion arrow resulting in the behir’s brain losing any sort of structured thought. This was the death of the mighty lizard. Inside its guts were some gems and a sword but the hobos suspected that this was not the treasure they came for. 

There must be more somewhere deeper into the maze of tunnels.
