Thornkeep: The Forgotten Labratory 4-16-2018

General Summary

The session starts out with Bobbie Jo taking a selfie, read into that however you want... We found a cavern that seemed to be made by a drilling machine. Therrid showed everyone that he hates spiders by burning harmless and defenceless spiders in their webs and guarding the entrance to their cave so they couldn't get out. Then Therrid moved on to burning the rest of the spider webs in the area Grinning the entire time I might add. All this burning of harmless spiders did serve to bring out a giant black widow who by my estimation came to defent her brood. Therrid then procedes to macically make himself glow in order to further terrify the spider and her brood no doubt. However this action only served as a beacon for the smaller spiders who subsequently swarm Therrid. Because he couldn't help Therrid by hitting the swarm with his blast ability without hurting him Kore elected to try and squish the big spider with a small boulder. Therrid swings about trying to shake off the swarm of spiders. Bobbie Joe then narrowly misses her AoO on the swarm of spiders and hit the wall of the cavern, the bomb bounced off of the wall back at therrid, who in an astounding feat of skill used his shield to deflect the rebounding bomb back at the swarm of spiders virtually obliterating the spiders from existance and not harming the party members in the slightest. Kore then caused a boulder to come out of the roof of the cave and crush the giant black widow.(B9)
We venture further down the cave that curves to the right and enter a large room with a gear golem near the door at the far end. The golem attacked Therrid and missed horibbly. Bobbie Joe shot the golem with herstone bow and Kore also attacked the golem with a nearby stone gear. Our attacks must have enraged the golem because it's attacks became even more useless. Therrid took this opportunity to land a decisive hit on the floundering gear golem. The power crystal inside the golem shatters in the midst of the golems death throes,l and there was much rejoycing!! (B10)

We inspected the most complicated lock that was on the door the golem was guarding. Discouraged by the complicated lock, the party procedes down the corridor to the doors left. Thinking better of our decision we doubled back. Kore shaped the sone around the hinges and bolt of the door, and brought the entire door down. We then went down the cooridor to our left towards B5.
B5 is a large room with a dais near one end, and happens to be inhabited by 4 dire rats and the goblin Snarltounge. Snarltoung is a most hiddeous goblin with several alchemical vials draining into his head. He also seems to be crazy at first impression.
