SESSION 46: Once more into the breach (12Jun17)
A couple of days rest in Helix was needed. Resources were depleted and bodies were beaten. Feeling better, they once more made the return trip to Barrowmaze. Things were moving along well until a hydra abruptly appeared out of the mists. It did not have enough heads to hold back our hobos.
Arriving again at the great tomb, they decided to take the main entrance. It would be the fastest way to the giant head of Nergal. The spot thought to contain the Pit of chaos, sadly it did not. What they had actually found was a tomb within a tomb for a high priest of Nergal. Loaded with treasure and death. Hordes of restless dead launched upon our hobos hungry for fresh flesh. Another win for the hobos, dead is deader and the living press on.
Trap and trickery be damned. We will fill our sacks with the treasure of the ages. It was a good and fulfilling plan until they came upon the diamond constellation chamber. A domed room with diamonds in the ceiling depicting an alien sky. It was here that poor Marr fell to his doom. Enchanted by the sparkle and gleam of diamonds a bottomless pit opened underneath our master of mirth. An eternity of falling was to be his doom, much like that forgotten Halfling. Carla did not accept this. She made sacrifice and called forth the powers of the divine in hopes of saving Marr. It almost worked. Marr was plucked from whatever dimension was to be his doom. Carla’s efforts were great but the vast depths of space where our cold and distant deities dwell perhaps interfered with her exact intentions. Marr reappeared in the room falling at critical velocity – Splat!
They then went to the other wing to discover another trap, albeit far less deadly, and another horde of flesh hungry dead. By this time the party was already beat up and the loss of Marr was a real downer, so they fell back to a hopefully safer crypt to sleep off another fiendish day in Barrowmaze.
