Shadowfell

This party starts making their way through the Shadowfell towards the Lich’s lair. Early on they meet a floating version of Wigglesme-Tigglesme that Larkspur hits with eldritch blasts. He promptly explodes and does a frick ton of damage to me (everyone?). The party continues, Larkspur’s internal GPS is screwy unless they walk on their hands. Which they do.

The party fights several creepy things on their way, meeting a small goblinoid creature that agrees to guide them to the lich's lair, which is located in shadow Regaclith.

At one point, Brendan rolls a nat 1 on a percentile dice to see what happens in our journey.

And all hell breaks loose.

It starts when we see a small cottage in the woods. Larkspur, viewing it through truesight, sees that is filled with magic. Curious (their besetting sin), they open the door and come face to face with an elder red shadow dragon. Babbling apologies, Larkspur backs out, offering a gem as repayment.

Alas, it is not enough.
The dragon erupts from the cabin, Larkspur already fleeing and shouting at the rest of their party to run. Lux, being Lux, does not.
As the dragon rises into the air, Lux flies up to meet him. And manages to knock the dragon to the ground, dealing a boatload of damage.
Pissed, the dragon gets back up to Lux and hits him with everything- a breath weapon attack, a bite, and a claw.
Lux, this cockroach bastard, survives with 1 bloody hp.
Rolls 2 nat-fucking 20s and an 18 for concentration checks to stay flying.
Dragon: YOU DARE!
Lux: *smacks dragon back down*
Lux: Pathetic.
Lux deals 46 damage and the dragon is bloody.
████animates 10 golden acorns that attack the dragon for 60 damage halved.
Larkspur, who at this point has realized their party is not running has gotten back in range and manage to hit the the dragon with an eldritch blast that kills it.
Lux falls unconscious with the dragon, but is revived.

The defeat of the dragon causes the party to level up twice. This allows Gira to gain the ability to cast windwalk, and the party quickly makes their way to nega-Regaclith.

While in nega-Regaclith, the party discovered the currency is ribs. Several members got magical tattoos before we decided to infiltrate the Lich’s tower from the sewers.
