GHG Session 28: Clusterf*** at the Orgy Pit
General Summary
Month 13, Week 2, Year 918
Locating a portal to the sewers used by Gruumsh's lizardfolk cultists, the Fortunate Five began creeping through the darkness to learn more about the cult connected to this war god. Zan'kiri and Ysmyrelda disguised themselves as disgruntled lizardfolk eager to join the cause, the rest of the party following a good distance behind to act as backup. As a grung Bubbles could pass as a potential recruit for the cause, Beguiler had his convincing lizard costume on, and Windred could be used as a human sacrifice/prisoner for any lizardfolk guards they came across. And it seemed like someone would be looking out for Reetma deep in Gruumsh's dungeon. For a moment, everything was kinda working: a lizardfolk wearing magic goggles rose from the murk and grime of one of the sewer reservoirs, escorting Zan and Ys to the next level of the dungeon. Windred and the others tried to follow behind, only to get surprised by an otyugh hiding deep within the sewers' filth. This creature was the one responsible for a series of apocalyptic visions transmitted to everybody who descended through the sewers, and within moments it nearly killed Bubbles with its disease-ridden fangs and tentacles. Zan and Ys heard this chaos playing out as they approached the entrance to the second level, but the lizardfolk assured them that it was nothing to worry about. The portal demanded Ash to Ash in order to open, so once Ys tossed a doll from Ivasar Acres into the offering bowl it burst into flames and let the two adventurers pass. That's when the two heroes found themselves in the middle of an orgy pit, where lizardfolk were shedding their scales as part of a ritual to purify themselves before completely joining Gruumsh's faith. These shedded scales took on a life of their own after the ritual, but when Zan and Ys were expected to do the same things turned violent in the orgy pit. Without a convincing way to shed their illusory scales, the two of them fended off the handful of lizardfolk cultists waiting for the rest of the party to catch up with them. Windred and Bubbles managed to join the fray, and Beguiler slowly moved down the tunnels with an intimidating illusion of Gruumsh incarnate. Reetma ran down the staircase unmolested, but zipped past the center of the fight with only a couple of well-placed blows. The fighting wore on for a long while, Zan'kiri himself getting injured by spear-wielding cultists. But Bubbles suffered the most from this fight, falling unconscious through spears and tentacles only to be thrown back into the brawl by healing powers from Ys and Windred. Reetma raced down hallways, discovering a chamber full of imprisoned villagers all being tortured and skewered by Gruumsh's faithful. While he methodically mercy-killed everybody in the room, the fight slowly drew to an end as every lizardfolk lay dead or ready for Zan'kiri's spiritual consumption. The gith was hangry, in every sense of the word.
