The Depths of the God Passage(Session 82)

 SESSION 82: The God Passage (13AUG18)

            Crawling forth from the mounds of the Serpent God’s viscera we plunged deeper into the bowels of Carcosa in search of a way home. If the surface was hell what might the stygian depths reveal? Well it was a subterranean highway twisting and writhing much like the serpent god. Hiding grotesque and fearsome foes (slugs, squid things and a giant eye/tentacle mouth abomination) but we pushed on straining against the death that awaited just outside our light. Those that broke the darkness were horror enough. Eventually we came upon a waystation – Check Point Charlie. A host of dark beings slender, hateful shit-head elf types. That were not without pride and avarice. We bought our passage. Not without pushing our luck a little bit but not too hard. This may have been a prudent choice, a platoon of these dark beings awaited us beyond the wall of the fortification. 

            Pressing on we made our way with haste until we reached a junction. Well...crap. This one or that one because we sure as hell ain't going back to those elf dicks. Didn't consider seeing them again did we?

The Final Nail in a Snake Tale (Session 81)

 SESSION 81: Loot-a-Rama and the End of an Empire (13AUG18)

            We have defeated the clerics of the serpent men now it was time to investigate a little further, like that other door. It was a trap. Twisted vulture-like demons (Vrocks) awaited intruders. They had no time nor interest in tea and cakes just blood. Bleed they did. After sorting things and recuperating we made our way to the central coliseum of the Nameless City.

            At its centre was a sacrificial altar before a giant pit plunging deeper into the earth. Much like any good bunch of murderhobos we threw down the ropes and made the descent. Into the lair of the god-snake. Ancient and massive, the last of a species lost to time, the beast worshipped as a deity. It was not truly a god but as close as any mortal creature could be. It dreamed only of devouring all things and it was this all-consuming state of being that was its ultimate downfall. Even with great obliterating magics it had to taste human flesh again, perhaps for the first time in a thousand years. Rabid it was, all that time only consuming its own twisted worshippers, poisonous nourishment utterly deficient when compared man. 

    More concerned with preserving the flesh than destroying the raiders. Pierced, bludgeoned, cut, slashed and finally split open like a sausage in the fire. The final relic of the serpent men destroyed, now the Nameless city would never rise again. We went deeper into its prison in hope of ancient otherworldly wonders. What we would find was another twisted world within a the twisted world of Carcosa.

 SESSION 80: Magic of the Ancients (30JUL18)

            We used a queer device that lifted us to the second story, depositing us in a circular chamber with three doors. We went south first discovering an active laboratory packed with Serpent people. Battle ensued. Even under a cloak of silence the mayhem was too widespread and the commotion attracted the attention of the occupants of the northwestern chamber (a scriptorium) and we ate a fireball. More battle ensued. This time with giant laser snakes as well as serpo-mages. Both rooms contained ancient relics and components of mystery. Perhaps these were the esoteric components the Bone Sorcerer required. What they are, only time will tell.The miserable pirates opened up their stupendous bags of way too much space and loaded up anything that looked like it held even the smallest of value. 

I thought shit like stoneskin and infravision were horrible game wreckers but i had not fully considered enough about bags of holding, why uncle Gary why? Give them an inch they take the whole laboratory.
