Another day of adventure and working for the Underground City. We were served a breakfast of many tingly, wriggly, soupy stuff. And of course I then went off to Chuk Chuk's shop to see if I could upgrade my weapons, he was not there but at a meeting with Zebrel. I was able to have my punching daggers upgraded with a spell of True Strike on each of them that works once per day, for now.
The others went to find us a job to do for the day, and grabbed the one to clear a beach/water town and kill all that was there. So off we went above ground for the first time in a long time.
As we are walking through the forest to the beach I spot webs, that means SPIDERS MUST DIE. As I climb the nearest tree I spot 6 of them surrounding a webbed object. Using my sling with my special SFBPB bullets, I destroy the first one and use two more to kill a second spider. Three spiders surround the tree I am in and suck at shooting me with their webs. As the others join the fight, one spider flees over the hill to the beach. I drop on a spider and flatten it, as the others kill the remaining spiders. TonTon has decided to learn how to knock trees over, and uses this new skill to crush the last standing spider.
The webbed object from earlier is now gone, as we find a trap door to a small hollow underground with nasty tasting jars of honey and fish heads. I also sense a massive creature deep deep underground, that most likely grabbed the webbed object.
We head over the hill to the water town, and get ambushed right after TonTon lights the entire town on fire. TonTon uses his tree crashing skill again and the merlock dies from all of us attacking it. After that we realized that we had in a way cleared the town and decided to camp out on the beach for the night.
A few hours after the sun has set, we hear and see gnolls out on the water. They do not last long as Huge Tentacles from deep in the water grab them and they disappear. And that was that. I keep watch all night, and sleep on TonTon's back on the way home the next morning.
Zebrel and 2 guards are waiting for us as we near the town again. It looks like the have another gift for us with a feeling of dread and boding.
