Session 44: Towards The Plague's Source
General Summary
The Telnari spider-creature was hanging from the tunnel ceiling and taking shots at the party with her bow. The party quickly identified her location and caused her to submit, keeping her alive. They learned that there were roughly 100 creatures in the settlement, of varying humanoid races. The first of their kind had been created by a female being named K'Zor, though the scouting parties didn't come into contact with her and were unsure what kind of creature she was. The plague infecting the miners was also a creation of K'Zor; a thick brownish-green liquid. Each scout carried a couple vials, which they used to carefully coat their weapons, passing on the disease to those they hit. Not wishing to let such a dangerous creature live, the party killed their captive, carrying on through the damp tunnels towards their settlement. Alden was infected in the fight, but the party clued into his changed behaviour fairly quickly, and Doug healed him. After a couple more hours walking, the party spotted a white object in a side tunnel, sticking out past a rock. Shadow telekinetically pulled it towards him, and found it was a foot bone. A closer inspection of the tunnel revealed two skeletons, lying with leather cloaks nearby, the rest of their clothes having rotted away. Touching a cloak proved that they were in fact leathery winged creatures, one of which rose into the air and wrapped itself around Shadow's face. The party prevailed, leaving the bodies of the creatures on the cold stone floor of the tunnel.
