Adventure Log #77: The one with a maze, some skeletons, and Rhythgor misty-stepping again.

General Summary

Adventure Log #77
So, our new mirror friends were freaked the whole fuck out! Zug helped them by giving them a warm hug. Tlad spoke about his lost friend, Alana. She worshipped the 9 trickster gods and is how Tlad ended up trapped.
We were still missing Rhythgor. Sagres thought it was a good idea to call upon his patron to help find him. He couldn't offer much, but did tell us Rhythgor was upstairs. Turns out, he found us! Then we had to listen to Sagres try to recruit Rhythgor to worship Pazuzu. Every fucking time, y'all.
We made our way downstairs. With the help of Sagres' specter, who was a fucking racist, we found a door to the north. There was a plaque that read:

Warm like flame, cold for the cruel, Still for the dead, gruel for the ghoul.

There was also two gold snake sculptures, complete with fangs. Great. We should have turned around and called it a day, but of course we didn't do that. Rhythgor walked right up to the snake heads. The foul smell knocks him out. It was the kind of smell that gets in your mouth. Fucking gross. Also, blood pooling in their mouths. I guess there was some blood tube stuck in its mouth? I don't know. So, Rhythgor did the only thing he could do, slice open his hand and drip some blood in the fucking snake mouths. He said he heard some gross ass slurping noises coming from behind the statues. Did that stop him? Nope! He began to tug and pull on the snakes, which caused Sagres to question his own sexuality. #yuanteam
Anyway, we went down the stairs where Zug found an old treasure chest. The lock was rusted. Assuming the chest was a mimic, I opened it. It appeared to be empty, only the lining. Seemed totally sus. Just then we hear a crash and a huge fucking boulder starts rolling down the stairs. Super. Not a mimic, but a trap. Zug and I were both able to dodge it, but we were about to fall into a pit, which turns out was filled with acid. With some quick ass thinking, Zug activated his boots, took flight and was able to just sling me out of the way! That was close!
We found ourselves in a room with 4 columns and an opaque color changing crystal sarcophagus. Around the room hung pictures of minotaur (minotaurs? Is it like deer? I don't fucking know) and a huge mural of a maze was sitting on top of this platform thing in the front of the room. Sagres loves puzzles so he immediately walked up to the maze. And of course he fucking disappeared as soon as he touched it. He was inside the maze! Zug started to run up the stairs and heard a bunch of clicks and then the walls around the room began to open up, which is always a good thing..right? Of fucking course not. There were minotaur skeletons behind the walls that wanted to murder our faces. We were down 1 warlock, but turns out the skeletons really hated bludgeoning damage. Zug killed the fuck out of them. Well, except for one who somehow got sucked into the maze and tried to kill Sagres. He murdered it pretty easily. Yuanteam, motherfuckers! In the middle of battle, Rhythgor tried to misty step again, and you guessed it, vanished! He was sent to the room upstairs again and had to make his way back down.
Sagres found a cool blue crystal key and pops out of the maze and back into the room. We finished off the skeletons.
Stay tuned to find out what was in the sarcophagus and how many more times Rhythgor misty steps his way to the 4th floor!
XOXO, Kaely
