A Gnome and a Demon

A simple fetch quest for mushrooms turned to a hunt for revenge.
In a cave in the Darkwood was a gnome who went by the name Mendalwart Duneswallow, a trickster in disguise. This gnome promises us the mushrooms we seek if we collect the berries on the cliff and warns us of the babau, Grizaxais. Unbeknownst to us but the two were in cahoots! All a ploy to weasel us out of our wealth. We attacked the babau and barely escaped with our lives, the babau escapes to reunite with the gnome. The trickery doesn't stop there my friends for we were given the wrong mushrooms. We marched back into the Darkwood to confront Duneswallow to learn the truth of his and Grizaxais' allegiance. We entered the gnome's cave and were met with obstacle after obstacle... after obstacle
I recount at least a dozen pit traps among other traps such as an oil pit, false passageways filled with zombies, acidic lakes, and puzzles meant to distract us. We faced whatever the cave had to offer, our efforts eventually paid off as we come face to face with Duneswallow and Grizaxais...
The babau utilises his abilities to create darkness and teleport around the battlefield, the gnome turned out to be quite a skilled mage of sorts and due to a misaimed fireball spell killed his ally, Grizaxais! We fought through icy storms, thick fog, and pillars of stone but eventually brought down the gnome and our revenge had.
