- Stories about pets getting their claws stuck in various things
- The stairs curve around to the west and with Felosyal leading, Thessalie in the middle, and Sharai bring up the rear the girls enter a small room with a door to the west and the south. The smell of dankness and decay has amplified significantly and the wall look like they are crumbling slowly and have patches in places.
- T casts Prayer of Healing into S's Ring of Spell Storage.
- T wiggles the handle of the southern door. It's stuck.
- FST try the door on the western wall instead. It creaks open.
- There is another long narrow room with the long part of the room extending south. S sticks her head through the door, and sees a pit that starts about 10' from the door and that there are four vacant-eyed fish people on the other side of the pit on another landing of sorts.
- FST enter the room, and look into the pit. About 20' down there is a sort of a haze so that you can't see the bottom of the pit. T drops a stone into the pit, but F is the only one that hears it hits bottom and she senses that there is something weird about the surface of the haze, but she's not sure what.
- It's about this time that the fish people notice the girls and start throwing things at them.
In Which the Party Fights Yet More Fishy-People
- T casts Sacred Flame on FP1 for 7 radiant dmg, then casts Spiritual Weapon next to it for 10 force dmg, then she backs up so that her back is to the wall.
- F shoots FP1 with her longbow for 6 piercing dmg.
- S casts Fireball on the whole group of FP for 33 fire dmg to FP1, FP3, and FP4, but FP2 dodges the worst of it for only 16 dmg. (FP1 is not dead yet. . .)
- FP3 throws a small-ish spear at F for 4 piercing and 3 lightning dmg then he misses with her on his second attempt
- FP4 does the same to F for 5 piercing and 2 lightning then he hits again for 3 piercing and 5 lightning
- FP2 hits S for 8 piercing and 6 lightning and then again for 3 piercing and 2 lightning.
- FP1 hits S for 4 piercing and 2 lightning and then again for 5 piercing and 6 lightning.
- T hits FP1 for 9 force dmg with SW, then casts Cure Wounds on S for 12 HP.
- F misses FP1 with her longbow
- S casts Fireball again for 24 fire dmg to FP1, FP2, FP3, and FP4 dodges this time and takes only 12 fire dmg.
- FP3 steps around the body of its companion, then misses S on his first throw, then hits her for 4 piercing and 2 lightning dmg.
- FP4 throws a lightning barb at F for 4 piercing and 4 lightning and then again for 8 piercing and 5 lightning
- FP2 throw at T for 6 piercing and 5 lightning dmg and then misses her.
- T casts Cure Wounds on F for 14 HP, then moves her SW over to FP3 and kills it.
- F shoots FP2 for 12 piercing dmg.

- S misses FP4 with Fire Bolt.
- FP4 misses T and then hits her for 4 piercing and 5 lightning.
- T misses FP4 with Sacred Flame, then hits him with her SW for 6 force dmg.
- The last Fishy-Person's body falls into the pit, and hits something the girls can't see then when it falls into the mist it starts floating just below the surface of the haze.
- While looking around T hits her shoulder on something invisible. "Ow!" S says "What?" "I hit something. I think it's invisible." "Throw some sand on it." There is an Indiana Jones style invisible path over the pit.
- T tells S "You go first and poke it with your stick."
- S walks across what looks like nothing and makes it to the other side. T & F follow suit. It feels like a rope bridge that has been turned invisible.
- There is a long narrow room through the open arch to the south. There is a row of sarcophagi down the center of the room and the are niches with skeletons in the wall. There is a doorway near where the girls are standing in the western wall and there is a door on the far (south) side of the room as well.
- Before entering the Mausoleum room, the girls take a 10 minutes breather for T to cast Prayer of Healing as a Ritual. They all get 18HP from that. S and F also spend some Hit Die.
- S looks closely at the floor and walls before the girls enter the room, but she doesn't see anything that resembles a trap.
- S also reaches out with her magicky senses, and when she brushes up against something it pushes back this time, and tries to burrow into her brain. She takes 2 psychic dmg.
- S sits down hard and curls into a ball reflexively while she pushes the presence back out of her head.
- T whimpers and asks S what happened. S explains.
- The girls cross the room to examine the southern door. It is 10' high and made of two 5' leaves, so that it is also 10' wide. There are geometric shapes carved into it. The very last sarcophagus is open, and it looks like there is a bed inside of it. F rifles through the blankets and finds 30GP.
(Crackberry fiasco at this point.)
- S closely examines the doors for traps and magic and find neither. She attempts to open the door, and while it is heavy so manages to pull them open.
- There is a large chamber with two large braziers on either side of the room. There is a dais on the far side of the room with a lectern containing a few books with a large, almost throne-like chair behind it. The chair is flanked by two vacant-eyed Fishy-People, and there is a humanoid creature standing at the lectern. It is about 6'-4" tall; has thick gray skin; a bald, human-like head, but where his mouth would be there are four tentacle like things extending like a beard; is wearing a long black robes; it's left arm ends in a normal looking hand, but the right arm ends in a tentacle with four suckers on the end.
- The Tall Creature says, "Good. Bring me the artifact."
- S: "No." T whimpers again.
- The Tall Creature points its hand at the girls, and the Fishy-People begin to advance.
BOSS BATTLE
- F moves to FP2, then she stabs it with her magicky dagger for 6 piercing dmg then again with her normal dagger for 1 piercing dmg
- FP1 misses S with a spell
- FP2 stabs F with his short spear for 4 piercing dmg, grappling her, and then misses biting her.
- T runs into the middle of everything and calls down her Spirit Guardians, then she casts Spirit Weapon next to FP2 and hits him for 8 force dmg.
- TC takes 4 radiant SG dmg, then moves to T, then he wraps his tentacle arm around her neck then rips it off for 18 bludgeoning dmg.
- S casts Fireball for 33 fire dmg on all the enemies. The book and the cushion on the chair also catch fire.
- F moves to flank TC, Disengaging from FP1, then engages the poison on her dagger and stabs him for 14 piercing dmg, but it resists the poison.
- FP1 takes 5 radiant SG dmg, then moves to S, misses stabbing her with his short spear, but then bites her for 5 piercing dmg.
- FP2 takes 10 radiant SG dmg, then moves to flank T, stabs her with its short spear for 3 piercing dmg, then misses biting her.
- T casts Guiding Bolt on TC for 11 radiant dmg, then uses her SW to attack him for 10 force dmg.
- TC takes 8 radiant SG dmg, then chokes her for 19 bludgeoning dmg, then misses her when he tries it again.
- S casts Fireball dealing 22 fire dmg to the two FP and 11 to TC.
- F stabs TC with her magicky dagger for 22 piercing dmg killing him!
- TC's tentacle falls limp from around T's neck and it falls over. The FP shakes their heads and come out of a trance.
- T immediately turns to the one next to her, and says "Are you okay?! Are you okay?! Are you okay?!" He burbles in Fishy-Person language at her. She casts Tongues and asks again.
- He asks her general person coming out of a trance questions "Where are we? What happened?" He sounds a lot smarter than any of the other Fish-People any of them have talked to yet.
- Sharai examines the tentacle, which is clearly the "Arm", and she gets a compulsion (magicky compulsion) to put her hand in the cupped opening at the base of the Arm. She succeeds on her Saving Throw (Wisdom) and does not put her hand in the thing. They take the Arm and empty Thessalie's pack and stick the curled up Arm in the bottom and then pack things around it and on top of it, so she isn't likely to touch it by accident.
- T apologizes again and again for killing so many Fish-People as they lead him to the stairs, then he leads them through the one room on the ground floor they didn't enter before (N door in the mushroom farm room) the store room.
- While they are crossing through the room, F spots a bag with something shiny poking out of it. She peeks into it and sees various-sized, un-minted golden rocks. She pockets the bag for later.
- The Fish-Person opens a door in the storage room than opens what is (from the other side) a secret door in the antechamber of the dungeon.
- 3700 XP ea. - 22,510 XP total ea.
