Session 22

February 16 DnD WEDNESDAY EDITION

Set out to begin our job early in the morning with our scrolls Decide to circle back east, cross the water, and cut through dense forest to make our way up along the eastern wall. Plan to scout along the wall north/northwest and look for any entrances into the old city No dice Continue along the cliffside. Xanie nearly falls and dies but catches her footing! We make it to the secret entrance and continue down into the ruins. Can’t determine if people have found or used these passages recently. Knot: I’M USEFUL! As he attempts to climb up through the ceiling, getting about 10 feet up and scrambling and slowly sliding back down with a very soft thud upon hitting the ground. Xanie is actually useful and uses a mage hand to tie a rope that we use to climb up into a familiar cave. Decide to trek back to a fork in the road that divided us from here and the old city on our previous exploration / exodus. The walls suddenly become more and more smooth and uniform until it becomes an obvious made structure as the old city comes into view A pathway down has light sconces lit that we avoid for now Continuing forward we come upon a tower with a light at the top. There is a dwarven inscription set of iron doors that Xanie uses comprehend languages to read. “The First and Final Step on the Walk of Kings” Decide that we are getting really sleepy and decide to take a rest outside of the tower Knot hears faint scraping on stone We make note of the tower as we discover it is apparently magically made with no indication of an easy way in, and return towards where we came in for more exploration Enter the lit tunnel in which we see a small lizard-like figure who notices us and scurrys off to the side. We come upon doors in that same direction. Listen at doors and hear a loud SHUSH. Take that to mean they are scared of us and wouldn’t attack, we barge in and get a sling fired at us by kobolds Handily defeat them, one however flees successfully Suleiman loots a heavy crossbow, Knot a dagger Encounter 2 more kobolds who are terrified and want to be left alone Agree to show us a bridge, and possibly other places as long as we do not hurt them Across the bridge lies spiders and shinies Kobold does his best to explain the other exits, when we don’t understand he agrees to show us They are several days away, aside from ones near the spiders. So we decide to venture to the spiders. Kobold is named CHEG Knot drops dagger down into chasm. To noones surprise its very deep. Across the bridge awaits 3 spiders. 3 giant spiders. 3 giant FLYING spiders We defeat them! As we explore deeper into the old city we find ourselves face to face with another spider Continued exploration finding documents explaining magical weapons!
