Goblin Fire Session 85
General Summary
The Party continued to make their way through the Wolfwater caves beneath the city until they arrived at a locked portcullis. Vigwalin cast wildshape on himself and turned himself into a rat, following the group's new found friend, into the dark room beyond. After performing a quick inspection of the room, Vigwalin noticed a lever on the wall and, turning himself back into a man, pulled the lever which unlocked and opened the portcullis. As soon as they crossed the threshold, an undiscovered Glyph of Warding exploded on Typhon and Bloodbane, showering them with acid damage.
The acid began to eat through their equipment, including Typhon's bag of holding. He ran back to the cave entrance to attempt to wash off the acid, but that only made it worse. It began to spurt and bubble, speeding up the chemical reaction. Faced with little option, Typhon threw the bag into a corner of the room and used his last ice wall spell on it to protect himself from the eruption. The bag went up in an arc of purple and black flame, spreading the contents of the bag all across the multiverse.
After rejoining the Party, they continued to follow the rat through the cave until they arrived at a locked door. Vigwalin took this opportunity to check for traps after learning their lesson and noticed that the 10 foot tall ceiling was shinier than the rest and recognized it as a magnetic trap. Fortunately, he wasn't wearing any metal. As Bloodbane attempted to walk to the door to try to disarm it with his throwing axe, he felt himself being raised up toward the ceiling by his own axe, Ravager. The hand axe he was carrying was ripped from his hand and dashed toward the ceiling, but Bloodbane himself was able to escape - with Ravager - back to safety.
Typhon tapped into his telekinetic powers and ripped the door from its hinges, revealing a large empty room on the other side. Being the only one without any metal equipment, Vigwalin entered, and pulled a wall switch which turned off the magnet. The hand axe fell with a clang and the rest of the Party joined up inside, with Vigwalin and Typhon casting healing spells onthemselves.
A set of spiral stairs led the group to the bottom of a well. They pried open the wooden base and then began to slowly blast through the ice to inspect the area. After they determined that it was safe (despite hearing screams and seeing an eerie glow of unnatural light from above), Bloodbane climbed up the well using a rope. Accompanied by his new rat friend, they surveyed the chaos. Men, women, and children were fleeing as buildings all around them were on fire.
The group climbed up, and ran into the Sergeant of the Guards, Ebgran Ironhammer as he led a group of soldiers to the front. He stopped and briefly explained the situation to the group, emphasizing the need to rescue the civilians which were being kept in Bellton Castle. He and his men left the Party to continue on their mission. As he did so, a pair of wyverns swooped down atop nearby buildings and roared at the group.
The western wyvern engaged Bloodbane immediately, who managed to survive the beast's blows. Typhon polymorphed into a T-Rex and charged it with wrath and fury. Vigwalin summoned a mammoth and pinned the eastern wyvern against a building. Typhon and Bloodbane finished off the wyvern with barely any effort, while the remaining creature struggled to escape. It took a last, rending blow from the mammoth and flew off into the darkness.
The Party must now make their way to Bellton Castle to assist with the evacuation of the citizenry...
