What is down here? (Session 53)

 SESSION 53: Let’s check out that corridor  (5SEPT17)

            With only three quarters of a day gone we pressed on, deeper back through the ages in the ancient depths of Barrowmaze. Pressing south, silence was used to cover the excavation into two more lost crypts. Even with this prudent act the dank passageways were ripe with dark creatures. Carrion scavengers and ghastly things that preferred fresh meat. The latter a horde of ghasts and ghouls adorned in bibs, all emblazoned with the same horrific visage (Grizelda, not to be known for some time). Sadly, all that this dinner acquisition crew had was two sacks. One containing feet and the other left arms. Nary a treat for the honest hobo. But I rush ahead. They had already encountered angry sand, nearly succumbed to the dulcet tones of the sandman (but he/it retreated- for reasons), the true dungeon caretakers a troupe of carrion crawlers, and a confused wight named Yusuq-Jac. 

    Jumping back ahead, Ding-We made a horrendous mess of the dinner crew with a well-placed and timed lightning bolt. I love the smell of ozone and twice dead flesh in the morning. There were also some unrestful mummies that as luck would have it could not share their rot from beyond with our hobos. And lest I forget, Arnd appeared that he may have died but his handling of the death scarab was defter than expected. More importantly than all this jibber jabber was the big load of loot: books, gems, jeweled scarabs and coin. This capped off what ended as a fine day, even though very little progress was made. Our hobos returned to their previous abode, the carrion crawler lair, to rest and plan the next surge deeper into lost Barrowmaze.
