Session 16: Sinkholes and Trolls: All Rocks Sleep
General Summary
It is the 14th of Light, 698, and the crew find themselves preparing for next steps. The talk aboard the Call, divvying out gold found on the orcs who attempting to hijack the sailing vessel, and placing much of their gear into Gyc's armory. Aikhon suggests rumors may be building about the dragons aboard, so Skiff, on another goal of shopping for a forgery kit; Aikhon also asks for a pearl for one of his upcoming spells. Meanwhile, Roland rests, the dragon brothers plan next steps--trying to figure out the best angle to approach the trolls rummaging in the south of the city; Rognur upgrades his hypothermic bombs (DC 15, CON Save, 6d6 or half damage; fail by 5 or more stunned for 1 minute, repeat save at the end of each turn).
Aikhon and Brimstone go to Teyos Oushos who recently returned; she informs the dragonkin of the trolls increasing their presence on the southern edge of Feon, and how she has followed them south, found an old cave system, but she needs to find another way to approach it. She has tried through forest, but now she thinks she needs to sail over sea and around the island to the other side; she was hoping for Brimstone's permission, and after the crew just gained another smaller vessel through the orcs attacking the call the day before, they use this ship and get it ready for this adventure to this trollhold.
Skiff goes to the Kings District of Feon, searching for these rumors of dragonkin. He finds two humans with a giantkin, he thinks, discussing his recent escapades around Feon, and the death his Queen Bess leaves in their wake. Satisfied, Skiff heads back to the Dwarfhold of Feon, and meets with Master Falas, a renowned jeweler and gem-master. He gets the pearl Aikhon desires, and he makes a good contact for later selling, but he also heads around a few blocks to the Blood Alley, the al la carte black market district of the city, and for 25gp, he is able to get the pieces needed for a forgery kit; while he waits for the sell to complete, he shares a drink with Dosgratin. He then returns to the call, finding them getting the smaller orc vessel ready for the voyage to this trollhold.
They bring Torth and Teyos with them on this voyage, and the Scallywags find Torth's clumsiness to nearly ignite the boat with a fallen lamp along the way, and an undead shark with undead, barnacled men guarded the trollhold's sinkhole and entrance. Teyos suggests the group find a place to go to land, and then they kind find an entrance that they can sneak into, but Brimstone and Aikhon dive into the water, alerting the undead, barnacled men, but not until Skiff helps the crew defeat the undead shark. Aikhon and Brimstone fall in the sinkhole, and Rognur convinces the others to save the "captain", so they all either dive and swim or jump from the deck of the Call. Roland and Torth do not get as close as the others, and with the dragon bros already below, the group is forced to follow suite, generally avoiding the barnacled undead.
Down below, they are soon beset by a troll and defeat it quickly enough, but Queen Bess alerts another, and stone camouflaged troll nearly ambushes it in the other area. The cacophony from Queen Bess nearly deafens the entire group, so when Brimstone finally fells the cave troll, only a few hear the laughter from more beyond.
