SESSION 346: Who Ya Gonna Call? MurderHobos!
Wherein we unexpectedly turn around and resolve something wicked before returning to where we began.
Day 865 Continued (Under Dry Gulch & Beyond): All righty, lets hit the cavern network. Hmm maybe not. We turn around and go back topside and get new directives from the Green Queen. Boris and the cleric join the crew to investigate the supernatural occurrence in the lost library. After more than a little buggerin’ about (at the big settling pool), the big kids were pressing into the library.
The entity was a wicked and hateful ghost librarian. Horribly evil when she died, laughingly under a bookcase, now just… really, really a bad rotten bitch.
Unfortunately for her she was facing the C-team. Carla plain ignored the horrific greeting while the rest (Charles, Boris, Cung-Li) were simply professionals. The opening aura of fear washed over the unit and then they got to business. Carla brought down the sacred light of TMB as the other mooks leapt to action. The key to success was not screwing around. Charles surged, Franz screamed to destroy the apparition. Boris was just behind as Chung-Li released a salvo.
And, it was over.
The wicked spirit exploded into motes of disintegrating ectoplasmic goo.
Charles and Boris ended up with a goodly amount of snot coating but they paid it little heed.
With the ghost smote we moved onto the looting of the lost library. Books, scrolls and treasure maps not bad at all. With the help of Franz (and Charles) during the looting time there was also some x-raying vision. It seemed that the library was the sealed chamber adjacent to the guild of silence offices. They collected their stuff and began to fall back to the cavern entrance adjacent to the tower. Just before plunging into the unknown Carla decided to take a look at the treasure maps. One of them appeared to be located in the lost sewers. Why not check it out?
They found and it was worth the effort. Hidden under a heavy oiled tarp was a chest and it was packed full of gems and jewelry. Big pay day. This was not sorted until they had dropped the chest on the table at the Inn at the end of the day. Biff gave a cheer as he correctly foresaw the arrival of one of the intermittent pay days.
The chest was absolutely loaded. The treasure map was wicked awesome.
Prior to this party, the gang made an official move to put a purchase offer on the abandoned house and the empty property immediately north of it (6,000 gp). They had plans dontcha know?
Day 866 (Under Dry Gulch): The day began with rain and breakfast. Suzie came a little late but was happy to announce she could adventure today and that they could use the tower entrance to cave system. She showed up with a little thank-you gift from the Guild for nuking the ghost, she kept it of course. Boris and the Green Chick had other things to do (like fart around) but Lady Versamage was itching to stay limber.
Into the Pit!
Beyond the ‘not so secret door’ was a narrow passage that would eventually lead to an observation ledge. The walk would be uneventful.
Hopefully something wicked will be awaiting our arrival.
