Session 012 Report

General Summary

Our heroes appear battered and bruised after dealing with The Black Spider, Nezznar and his Giant Spider pets. They escort the wounded Nundro Rockseeker back to the entrance of Wave Echo Cave  to a much relieved Gundren Rockseeker. 
Leaving Tagnik behind to watch over the Rockseeker brothers, ur heroes decided to try and by-pass the lever puzzle that barred the likely entrance to the forge of spells and take a route through a cavern filled with poisonous fungus, despite being told by Gundren that it was nearly impassable. This was quickly confirmed when Blackbriar Raventree attempted to wind his way through the fungus patches, only to be severely poisoned almost immediately; luckily Fallen Twig was able to quickly deal with the poison coursing through his veins.
The heroes went back to the lever puzzle and after two failed attempts at combinations, Blackbriar found a note written in riddle form with the combination of levers on one of the bodies in the cavern.
Twig got the sense that the first building they encountered had some sort of magical aura about it so Blackbriar unlocked the door and they ran head first into a Spectator. The Spectator told them that he had been summoned by 
Our heroes went to the other building in this cavern and were quickly confronted by Mormesk the wraith, after a quick parlay with Attila and Twig, Blackbriar decided he had heard enough and attacked the the spectre. After quickly dealing with him, our heroes went back to the Rockseekers to discuss what they had found. After some negotiation on payment, and with Tagnik back in-toe, our heroes went back to the forge to deal with the Spectator guardian. 
A battle ensued and, seeing what the Spectator had done to the romance novel she had given him, Brigid cast blindness on the aberration. This triggered what the Spectator felt was an end to his contract with Athrindol; he could no longer watch over the forge and thus decided to leave this plane. Standing agast, our heroes took a moment to get their bearings before scouring the forge of valuable items with Brigid finding a powerful mace and also discovering another strange orb which appeared to power the anvil in the forge of spells.
With this new artifact stuffed in their belongings they went back to the Rockseekers and asked for payment on a job completed.
