Our heroes ventured deeper into the brewery, only to find their progress halted by a couple of locked doors. The keys they had were useless, and their attempts to pick the locks proved futile. In a moment of frustration and ingenuity, Boe’Tan decided to heat the hinges and burn the doors down. The first room they entered was a small storage area where they found a few useful tools.
However, the second room held a nasty surprise. As they broke in, a swarm of wasps attacked them. Acting quickly, they managed to burn all the wasps before taking any significant damage. Continuing their exploration, they stumbled upon a room with several trapped individuals. These people had been caught when the clockwork brewers activated. Their leader, a man named Kasali, expressed his gratitude to our heroes for neutralizing the clockworks and handed them some keys and elixirs before making his exit.
With the new keys in hand, our heroes opened the final door, leading to a cold storage room. Gattlebee retrieved a ring from within. Meanwhile, Koros decided to explore the main warehouse. As he passed by the vats, a couple of yeast oozes emerged and attacked him. The rest of the group quickly joined the fray, and despite Koros taking a bit of a beating, they managed to survive the encounter.
While mending their wounds, a cactus leshy burst in, demanding they “reach for the sky.” He was accompanied by two other leshies and a small lizard creature. Refusing to surrender, our heroes fought back, killing the leshies. The lizard tried to escape, but our heroes pursued and ended its life.
Victorious but weary, our heroes returned to the Barrel and Bullet Saloon to reunite with Phoebe, ready to share tales of their latest adventure and prepare for whatever challenges lay ahead.
