The session kicked off with the party rolling initiative as spore vines began to move towards them. Ptepses narrowly avoided an attack from a vine, while Dreg moved towards the door to investigate the situation outside. Torren recalled knowledge about the Spirit Naga, learning of its spellcasting abilities and vulnerability to piercing damage. Thumper joined the fray, moving to assist Ptepses, who unleashed his dragon breath attack on the spore creature, dealing significant damage.
Bags, ever the agile hobgoblin clown, threw a redpitch bomb at the spore creature, causing a splash of damage that aided her companions. The spore creature retaliated, attacking Ptepses but failing to grapple him. Dreg landed a critical shot on the creature, while Ptepses followed up with a critical hit of his own, blinding the foe. Bags joined in with another critical strike, and after a series of attacks, Ptepses ultimately defeated the spore creature.
Post-battle, the party speculated about the presence of a Medusa, recalling a humanoid creature with snakes for hair. They debated whether to pursue the Medusa or explore other areas, eventually deciding to investigate further. Dreg attempted to sneak closer to the Medusa, but was unable to understand her mumbling. Thumper cast invisibility on Ptepses, preparing for a stealthy approach.
As the party rolled initiative again, Thumper prepared to cast a spell against the Medusa. Ptepses struck first, landing a critical hit that defeated her instantly. The party celebrated their victory and received experience points for the encounter. They discussed the map they were using, noting similarities to walls seen near a lighthouse, and Ptepses speculated about a previous character’s feeble-mindedness, suggesting influence from Belcorra.
The group then encountered a Nilith, a dangerous aberration that feeds on emotions and flesh. After a tense exchange, the Nilith claimed ignorance about serving Belcorra but mentioned sensing something dark below. The party rolled for initiative again as the Nilith prepared to attack. Dreg and Rocky attacked, but the Nilith countered with a bite and a mental assault on Dreg, who successfully resisted its effects. Thumper cast Dispel Magic, causing the Nilith to reappear, and the party continued their assault until they defeated it, discovering valuable loot afterward.
Afterward, the party debated their next steps, considering the Spirit Naga’s location and the need for rest. They explored a hidden door leading to a room with remnants of furniture and a broken dock. Torren examined bioluminescent mushrooms, confirming their edibility. As they prepared to confront the Naga, they encountered a large lizard creature, which Ptepses attacked with his dragon breath, inadvertently hitting Torren in the process. The battle continued with the party successfully defeating the creature and discovering an armband in its remains.
The session progressed with the party navigating through a muddy room, where they faced mud creatures and ultimately defeated them. They then encountered the Naga, engaging in a fierce battle that resulted in its defeat. The party found a hidden stash of magical items, including bracers of missile deflection and a wand of fireball.
With their victory secured, Torren suggested heading to the templedefeat. The party discussed their equipment and prepared for a long rest. Returning to the temple, in the room with the giant skull, they discovered a hidden door and heard skittering noises, indicating potential danger. A large creature with tentacles emerged, prompting another round of initiative. The party faced this new threat, with various attacks and spells exchanged until Ptepses successfully defeated the creature, splattering its remains across the room.
As the session concluded, Torren reflected on the challenges of scheduling due to time zone differences, marking the end of an action-packed adventure filled with battles, exploration, and camaraderie.
