Mora's Bargain
General Summary
The ethereal snake, a zinba, continued to strike from the foliage growing across the ceiling of the chamber, darting in and out of hiding to attack the party. Besella kept her distance throwing piercing needles from the entrance behind a shielding Gourm. Caldwell balanced between quick dagger strikes and chipping away from afar with his crossbow. Oliver, mostly safe from their floating position above the well was able to do blast the creature with lightning, acid, and whatever bits they could find in the room. Fizzik was able to land a few blows, though the snake knocked him down into the well and once again swallowed him whole leaving him fighting for air inside the belly of the beast. Though not for long, as Besella was able to pierce into the brain of the creature through the eyes, killing it instantly, allowing Caldwell to cut Fizzik free. The ethereal blue of the snake fell down into the well and was absorbed into the egg.
After the fight completed, Oliver began copying the rituals for each of the party members and found that the zinba's venom and healing reactant were necessary components for the ritual. The book, Mora's Bargain, also explained that the zinba would be reborn and, in 90 days, would once more guard the book. While Oliver Clayhead was busy copying, Gourm and Fizzik began surgically removing the sacs, fangs, and the injection method from the snake's mouth.
The party winded their way back through the study, escape room, and the inn back to the stairwell leading into the library entrance.
