Session #3: Into the Catacombs


Heroes:

Tyack, level 2 Varisian sorcerer
Nando, level 2 Shoanti rogue
Uzbad Grokk, level 2 Dwarven fighter
Valdaire, level 2 Elven Wizard
Bock, level 2 Shoanti ranger

Synopsis:

While waiting for Sheriff Belor Hemlock to return to Sandpoint with reinforcements, the heroes opt to investigate the mysterious underground tunnel leading from the glassworks. After discovering it not only leads to a cave by the ocean, providing access for goblins, they also discover it leads to an area far more ancient and more disturbing than anyone realized.

The party defeats a strange creature with a mutated jaw, then proceeds to enter ancient stone catacombs. They encounter a red marble statue of a beautiful, yet horrific woman, and take her masterwork weapon, a ranseur. They later come across a small shrine of sorts, with black marble filled with filthy water which they cleaned out. After going through two steel reinforced double doors, the heroes encounter a strange, ancient creature resembling a miniature crazed old hag with bat wings and spell casting abilities. During the encounter she summoned another one of the demonic creatures they fought earlier, as well as several monstrous spiders. Her ability to become invisible at will, cast powerful magic, and avoid physical damage forced the party to retreat, with their friend Nando near death.

While Tyack and Bock chose to remain near the entrace and rest, the other three heroes chose to explore around the Devil's Platter for the rest of the day, finally returning covered in filth and slime but in jovial spirits. The sheriff returned from Magnimar, and the next session will begin with a meeting at the garrison.
