Session - 4
Ven 29, 2424 - Deeper and Deeper

Somehow they bought my lie of a freaking rope salesman and for a small fee they allowed us to pass.
We continued to the entrance of the cave.
The smell of sulfur became extremely pungent and intense. Whatever they are doing in there is big.
Runes, totems scattered at the entrance, it sent a shiver down my spine.
Inside the cave was a narrow passage illuminated by glowing mushrooms and fungi. Of course there were more trip wires and traps laid out before us but my keen eye was able to spot the first. Unfortunately Bruin accidently tripped a pressure plate and almost got Ewoked by 2 logs trying to smash his head like a pimple. A few kobolds took some pot shots at us. I guess they don't like door to door rope sales men.
Bruin grabbed me and yeeted me up to where the shots came from and surprisingly landed gracefully up there. Klackers and I easily turned the 2 gunmen into charred corpses.
After continuing we came across even more traps and surprises. They really don't like visitors, damn.
Z'ed noticed some questionable alcoves as we prepared for a fight.
They didn't really get much done other then piss us off haha.
I was able to acquire and identify some helpful potions and elixirs I will reverse engineer later to learn how to make them.
We continue down to what will almost surely be an ambush. The ground got more damp and the smell almost nauseating and pungent.
We come across some old mine cart tracks and the sound of rumbling water.
The water started to ripple as these hideous creatures immerged from the depths. Looking like a kobold but waterlogged and almost lifeless.
I foolishly jumped into the water bombs blazing and almost drowned. If it wasn't for Klackers jumping to my rescue i would have been gone. Z'ed seemed excited to see the water. She cast a spell on Laslyn's weapon which helped her cleaved the one that attacked me in twain like a stick. Bruin made a huge splash and tore through another one.
Bruin took a beating and needed an elixir of life to bring back from the brink.
Z'ed looked in her element in the water. She is a mystery to me. Who is this?!
Laslyn was cookin' and cut down the last one. That was too close for comfort!
We found a small exit leading to a large opening. Something dark spoke from the darkness that laid before us.
We cautiously ventured forth squeezing through a small narrow path to find a "shrine of Ash"!
Atop the shrine was "Grekin" a kobold shaman twisted by some demonic force. He is conducting some ritual. Here we go again.
Fight!
From the portal the shaman pulled 2 fiends from the depths of hell. Luckily they were vulnerable to cold so my frost bomb took care of one with ease. Bruin almost went down again but fought back with a beastly fury.
Z'ed came out shooting her needle darts and turned a kobold into a pin cushion.
We needed to stop that ritual or who knows what might come out next!
Amani got her thralls popping in to help but they aren't the brightest crayons in the box. Pft, magic am I right?! Haha
Laslyn stepped up and struck a heck of a blow to Grekin. The Shrine erupted causing the ash to swirl and make visibility rough.
He started to levitate in the air as his connection to the ritual destabilized!
Laslyn finished him off and we had to book it out of there before the entire place collapsed around us!
We grabbed what looked valuable and headed out of there and back to town.
