Adventure log, # 72: The One where the party's caught by a beholder not wearing green, Part 1

General Summary

Adventure log, # 72   Did we just kill a clay golem while crowded into this tiny pit? FUCK YEAH WE DID! *cheers* And then our new friend, Rhythgor, just popped out, which happens an unusual amount for our small party. Seems like a good guy. Knew a lot about this awful place. We followed him around a bit to find his stuff while looking for the last of the weird eye key thingies. We had found 9 of 10 so far: orange, dark blue, purple, light green, light pink, red, scarlet, light purple, and pearlescent.
Rhythgor is still looking for his backpack. I can't believe he remembers where he put it! I mean, I can't remember where I put my Wednesday flask from last week, but this guy remembers a backpack from hundreds of years ago. Enna comes in and uses shape magic to clear a path for us to pass. After walking down like 84872** tunnels, we find the backpack! *cheers* Rhythgor proceeds to pull out this massive weapon (that's what she said). He said it was a family heirloom (that's what he said) It is pretty impressive. He also found the last eye key, the bright green one.   We make our way (making our way) back through the mold tunnels. Sagres cleans it up a bit with prestidigitation. We reach the door where we think the eyeballs should go, because it has color coded holes. It has a huge mirror on the front. Sagres was really feeling himselft whilst placing the eyeballs in the holes. Checking himself out in the mirror, flexing like a bard at a hen do. *eye roll* Then his reflection starts to change. His reflection looks frail, his eyes were sunken, and he was missing teeth. I think, is this how the Yuan-Ti ages? Fuck. Yikes on bikes for my future self for sure. Anyway, it was really freaky, but thankfully it was just a reflection. Sagres himself had not changed. Someone should have told him that because he turned to our new friend and tried to bite him! /facepalm Rhythgor pushes past him and begins to push open the door. His reflection started to change as well. This should have been a red flag, but alas, with a grinding sound and a click, the door opens. *cheers*   Inside was a massive room with this pointy penis structure that looked like it was draped with black silk just floating in the center. the fuq? Then, out of nowhere, Sagres was hit with a beam of light! The impact paralyzed him for what felt like a whole minute. It was time to fight! No one messes with Yuan-Team.   I was in the back of the tunnel, but could hear my friends yell about what was happening. We could see that the floor was covered in something, probably making it slippery. Great. We could also see the room was lit by what looked like 100 candles and that fucking mold was around the room. Then we see what we are about to fight. It's a beholder. fuuuuuuuuck.   Steef starts us out, pushing his way through the party still hanging back in the tunnel. As we each make our way into battle, Rhythgor is hit with another fucking beam! He gets coated in goo. This is going well for us. *cheers* Looking around we see the alcoves around the room are filled with gold, potions, shields, A FUCKING OCTOPUS TIARA. Just all kinds of treasure. Welp, let's hope we survive. To make things worse, we discover there are pockets around the room where our magic is useless. Zug realized when he moved that he no longer felt weird. So the pockets move? Cool, cool, cool. We had no way to know where and when the pocket would appear so we just kept blasting shit and hoped for the best. We were starting to feel like we had a chance, so of fucking course 2 more, although smaller, beholders show up. AND THE BIG BAD DISAPPEARS. Yep, we were free balling it. Sagres then beats the ever lasting fuck out of one of the beholders. Go Yuan-Team! Yes. That was pretty awesome. The best part was when Steef said, "you're done" and smooshed the second small beholder to applesauce. He had a rough day. I'm glad he was able to get some frustrations out.   We were again starting to gain momentum when the invisible big bad unveils the pointy dick structure! Rhythgor and Eek were lifted from their spots and flung to it. It was like a magnet. Like a huge, ghosty penis magnet. This was not the best for our party. It was really super not great for Eek and Rhythgor because we all got the feeling they were about to turn to stone at any minute. Because of course they were.   There was a lot of bad shit happening, but somehow the Big bad was stunned! Could this be our way to victory? I'll update again soon and let you know.   XOXO, Kaely     **- Yes, I exaggerated. Numbers are hard and we walked for 8 thousand hours. Yes, that was also an exaggeration. FFS, regulator.

Notes

When we left off....   Enna had blessed Zug, Kaely, Rhythgor, Eek, and herself. Steef was RAGING. The magnets were 1 turn away from being petrified.  Kaely just finished her turn, ending the combat round.
