Session 47b: Still Looking for Endira
General Summary
29th Conditori
Last time... we ended the session on rocks moving around some of the party. They were similar to the rock elemental like creatures as last time, but more aggressive and they looked dishevelled and infected, with green-yellow pus leaking out. There were 3 of them - they have three attacks per round, two claws and a bit, with the bite being a poison attack. As well as that, when you hit them with a weapon that caused them damage or to bleed, they splashed acid in a ten foot radius damaging everyone around. We killed then eventually but not before they knocked out Penny once and did some serious damage to pretty much everyone else. Highlights: Penny using Thunderstep to get behind Liv, Rel throwing money to try and distract them/get them away (didn't work), Robyn trying to taunt one of them across the icky rivery of leeches (and failing; they didn't understand her to be able to take the bait) and a synchronised held attach from Penny and Robyn to kill the last one. Complete with post-kill fist bump. The corpses of the creatures were different to the ones we'd encountered before, and these ones had green seeping from their wounds, with leeches crawling out as well. We rest up a safe distance from the icky corpses. Investigating the arrow some more, try to understand what caused it to be there and discern the direction of the shot and what direction Endira (assuming it was her) took after firing it. Hard to figure out due to lack of tracks around, could have been any direction. Back to the cave: about five foot in from the entrance is a bank, with flickers of light around the corner, like a torch. After some discussion, Liv pops her wings to fly in with Rel, and Rel sets a rope in the wall so they can climb back out. Rel ends up with leeches on her feet but can brush them off easy enough (still took some damage). They're in the cave for about 30 minutes total. They reach the bend and find that the torches are magical fire in metal sconces along the walls. The cave continues to a fork - Rel throws a lit rock down the other fork to decide which way to go, and it hits something invisible in the middle. She throws an inkwell, same effect but you can see the ink showing on something in mid-air. They Indiana Jones it a bit using dirt to find a bit of the path, but not wanting to go too far in/find something they can't handle together, they head back out and explain it. Decision is made to leave the cave for now and come back to it another day; clearly Endira isn't in there and point of this trip is to find her. Keep heading north for a couple more hours; landscape is flatter and there is an eerie silence. No sound of wildlife, very still, the plateau shielded by the hills of the tundra as we're heading down towards the horizon, no sign of the horizon ending. Eventually reach a cliff's edge - look down and can't see any sign of ground the other side, just a dull light-grey blank as far as the eye can see, that looks to be a moving fog (about 50-60ft down). Robyn spots a piton in the cliffside and a rope going down; no weight on the end so whoever set it was no longer using it to climb. Assume it is Endira's on the basis of she was heading to find new hunting grounds. Made decision to climb down in the morning, set camp a safe distance from the edge and set watches (Liv, Saman and Penny, Rel and Robyn, no trouble :D).Previous: Session 47: Greshalthar
