Session 22: Escaping the Web - Part 2 Report

General Summary

After having been freed from their pen, the party's first order of business was to rearm themselves (and their fellow prisoners), and gather up supplies for their escape. While doing so, they ran afoul of injured demons that had attacked the base; a vulture-like one first, then an insectoid creature. They were able to defeat both, and Crim collected the beak of the insectoid demon. They were able to recover their lost equipment, and took a few items that they could hopefully sell later. One of their fellow prisoners, a deep gnome named Jimjar, pried eight black gems from a spider statue that looked to be an altar of some kind, but only after the group had killed a giant spider that was aggressively guarding the room.
They escaped by dropping into the webs below the base, then dropping from there into the water below. Dodging a grey ooze taking residence in the water, they fled into the tunnels, traveling in the direction of Sloobludop.
After burning their way through a tangle of webs blocking the tunnel, they encountered a pack of small, apelike demons that they had to cut through to proceed. After doing so, they heard an interesting story at camp that night; of the elven kingdom of Nelrindenvane, and that a member of their party, Derendil (currently in the form of a quaggoth), may be the prince told of in the story. Before they retired for the night, however, another party member (a dwarf named Eldeth) gave Jaaski some food for thought; she'd heard the story as a little girl, and it was almost certainly a pretend tale...

Rewards Granted

Aside from the equipment regained from the drow, the party has collected additional items:

Crim: A spell scroll of Alarm for her Book of Shadows

Jaaski: An onyx brooch, a silver chain headdress set with small onyx stones, a small purse (carrying 24 gp, 30 sp, and a small moonstone), and two potions of healing

Tanebi: a fine-looking quiver that may have some special properties

Jimjar: eight pieces of jet, four large and four small
