Session #6

Before the first battle:

After having a long rest, the group tries to prepare ourselves to battle what lies ahead. As everyone grows eager to continue on there seems to be some hesitation to proceed because everyone is unable to fully determine what is out there but the mighty Zaryk comes up with an idea to get an idea of what is out there. He calls Seildar for his assistance to places his magical flames upon his arrow so that he may launch the arrow across from them. Without hesitation grants his request. Unfortunately, Zaryk plan seems to have failed since it went into an abyss. The mighty Vistra comes in and follows through the same idea as Zaryk but instead, she uses her powerful trident of doom and tell Seildar to places his flames on the trident, and once again he willing does so, and with all of Vistra might she launches her trident but this goes unsuccessfully as the trident lands on top of the roof and Vistra is left in shock and disappointment however Zaryk tells Vistra "hey look on the bright side now we have light". All of a sudden, we hear the hiss coming towards us, and it a ginormous snake that approaches the group, and the battle begins.

We all look towards the snake that approaches us. Vistra is worried because she is in desperate need of her trident and Zaryk is fully aware of this so he uses his weapon to try to knock it off the roof which is a success. The snake tries to attack Zaryk but misses and uses this as an opportunity to strike back with all his might and does some damage to the snake. As this is happening, Leth tries to find any that may be of use to either escape or help defeat the creatures but suddenly notices that another snake comes out from the darkness, and even Gnark and the rest of the crew see yet another one hissing its way towards Cammi and Gnark. Meanwhile, Zaryk is dealing with one snake so Seildar uses this as his opportunity to dash toward to help and attacks the snake which does a decent amount of damage but suddenly the snake has bound him into a trance and within that moment was unable to do anything. Amid Zaryk and Seildar dealing with one snake, Vistra deals with one that approaches near her and uses her trident and divine smite the beast which does a good amount of damage but that didn't stop the snake to try to attack Vistra but with Vistra being so strong it was unable to do any damage towards her. Gnark is witnessing all of this and surprises his fellow companions by turning into the big and powerful toad and hops his way over to help Zaryk and Seildar and does damage upon the snake. Zaryk helps gnark toad defeat the snake. Seildar is out of trance and glances over to Vistra against the other snake and uses his mighty flames of doom to take damage upon the other snake and does even more damage. This then leads Vistra to finish the job and kills the second creature. Now everyone faces the final snake that hasn't been taken any damage which heads over to Cammi in which she attacks the creature before it gets a chance. Gnark comes into the rescue and jumps high as ever towards the snake and Cammi to protect her and damages the snake which leaves the snake wounded and everyone comes in and finishes off the final snake leaving it good for dead.

The first battle is officially over and luckily the crew is all ok and in decent condition. Gnark returns to his human form and Leth informs everyone of a hidden cave that he encounters but is very skeptical to enter in so Vistra heads over to Leth and boldly enters the cave to get a better look at what is inside. As Vistra heads inside everyone gathers around the cave just in case of any surprises. Vistra notifies others that there seem to be medical pieces of equipment and weapon supplies along with skeletal corpses lying there which grow curiosity as to who was in here and what their purpose was. As the day goes by everyone agrees that a short rest is needed before they continue onto their journey. Zaryk and Seildar encounter a nice spot for a short rest. Before Zaryk goes to rest Gnarky approaches him and says "My fellow companion Zaryk before I let you rest, I wanted to discuss something with you. So, I noticed earlier you have a pendent I was curious about it. How did you come across it?" As Gnark ask this question Zaryk places his hand over his pendant in a protective way and say "Well Gnark all I will say that this was passed down to me and that is all you need to know" and Gnark states "the reason I ask about the pendent is that I have one just like it but in blue" and as he says this he show him to prove it which leaves Zaryk surprised and eager as ever "oh wow was it passed down to you as well?" and Gnark states "actually no I have encountered it a few years back and kept it ever since" which has Zaryk high suspicious towards Gnark and back away from him "well this changes thing because how do I know you are telling me the truth? How do I know you didn't steal this from someone and claimed it as your own? Who to say you aren't using this as some evil plot against me?" and Gnark states "I am being honest with you. I did not steal this from anyone I figured since our pendants are the same this can lead to discovery for both of us" and Zaryk final words are "I am sorry Gnark but this is something I am not handing over or trusting anyone with this is something very special to me and from what you are telling me I for one can't trust you with this and I would guard this with my life even if I have to go against you if you choose to defy me". As Gnark sees no hope in this he backs away from Zaryk "my apologies Zaryk I will respect your wishes let us all proceed into our short rest especially since we don't know what other creatures we will be encountering" everyone agrees with Gnark and everyone takes a moment of a short rest.

Everyone gets up from their short rest from the battle of the 3 snakes and gather their belongings and journey on as Vistra leads the way. As they proceed to travel further, they encounter a trapped door that is securely locked. Leth takes matter into his hand and uses his lockpicking skills to unlock the door and everyone enters through the door for which danger lies ahead.Everyone enters in fight mode for everyone feels the danger of the room they are standing in. Cammi shouts in excitement when she sees her mother alive and well but what surprised everyone was that her mother was not human at all she is this spider-like creature which raises everyone's suspicions about both Cammi and the mother. As Cammi is reunited with her mother everyone comes to a state of shock when Cammi is suddenly swallowed whole by her mother and everyone runs towards her in attack mode but suddenly disappears. Everyone is confused as to what just happened and suddenly a ginormous creature appears along with several ghouls blocking every corner and everyone begins to attack. Vistra and Gnark (in his giant frog form) proceed to immediately attack the creature while everyone else fights off the ghouls. The creature takes some serious damage towards Gnark and Vistra is surrounded by some ghouls but at that moment Vistra thought it would be best to take damage from the ghoul and put more damage toward the creature to help and protect Gnark. As Vistra uses her mighty trident to damage the creature everyone else comes closer to Gnark and Vistra to finish off the ghouls and we gather together to try to take out the creature. As the creature was close to death it was suddenly sunk through the floor which leaves everyone even more confused.
