Death from the Deep - October 28, 2016

- Will there be any Halloween candy left for the kiddos? We shall see.
- Team We Hate Licorice!
- Seattle!
- Tucson!
- Got Milk Duds?

- The person who greeted them in the sewer reservoir is a halfling. Hiram knows him. His name is Pell.
- Hiram asks Pell to let him and the girls hide with them for a few days until the heat dies down.
- Wombert is the leader of the sewer community. We have to wear blindfolds until we get his okay.
- The groups walks for nearly half an hour before FST can remove the blindfolds.
- Wombert says they can stay if they kill (or unsummon / banish) an abomination that's living in the tunnels that was summoned by the wizard, but then it ate the wizard.
- Sharai is not keen.
- Felosyal suggests they investigate before outright saying no.
- Sharai is ready to head out immediately. She wants to head directly to the dwarven library.
- Thessalie wants to help them, but Sharai says no. A lot.
- F asks what he would pay them to kill the monster. Negotiations ensue.
- End agreement: 110GP ea for the girls, guides to the monster's cave, a guide to the tunnels that lead to the sea, and any information about Eldon Groundswallow they might have.
- S casts Water Breathing on the FST then Pell leads the girls to the cave with the monster, then shuts the door behind them so that are in a large-ish cavern mostly filled with water by themselves
- T casts Warding Bond on F

An Unexpected Creature
- S readies Magic Missile in case the creature attacks
- T conjures some food and then starts throwing a bit of it into the water. There are bubbles, and then a gorilla creature with white fur, tusks, and webbed hands and feet with long claw bursts through the surface of the water in the middle of the lake
- The Creature breaths icy watery air at the girls dealing 50 cold dmg to T and S, but F dodges, taking only 12 cold dmg. S reacts and and casts her spell for 10 force dmg to the TC
- F dashes onto the newly formed ice, and tries to stab it with her magicky dagger, but misses, then she Disengages and dashes to the corner away from her friends
- S casts Prayer of Healing out of her ring and then backs up to the door
- T runs to the opposite corner of the room from F then casts Guiding Bolt on TC for 34 radiant dmg
- TC locks eyes with F dealing 9 cold dmg to her and she is Paralyzed for 1 minute, then it moves up to her and claws her for 8 (total slashing and cold) dmg, then again for 13 (total slashing and cold) dmg
- F is Paralyzed
- S can tell TC is immune to cold and dislikes fire, so she casts Fireball on it for 27 fire dmg which also melts the ice he created with his breath
- T moves to 20' away from TC and throws the fuzzy ball from her Bag of Tricks, which summons a panther right next to it, but the Panther misses biting TC
- TC locks eyes with S for 26 cold dmg and Paralyzes her for 1 minute, then claws F for 7 (total slashing and cold) dmg, then claws her again for 12 (total slashing and cold) dmg
- F is Paralyzed
- S is Paralyzed
- T moves towards F then casts Prayer of Healing on FST for 17 HP
- TC kills the Panther with its gaze, then claws at F for 18 (total slashing and cold) dmg, then again for 7 (total slashing and cold) dmg
- F finally shakes off the Paralysis
- S is Paralyzed
- T moves to S and casts Lesser Restoration on S ending her Paralysis, then moves back towards F
- TC gazes at T, and she takes 13 cold dmg and is Paralyzed for 1 minute then it moves to T, F hits her with her magicky dagger for 6 piercing dmg as it moves away from her, then it claws T for 21 slashing and 16 cold dmg, then again for 21 slashing dmg and 7 cold dmg. T is KOed.
- F actives the poison on her magicky dagger and throws it at TC, but it misses
- S casts Fireball again, but this time it sees it coming and dodges away from the worst of the blast taking only 18 fire dmg
- T does not move closer to death
- TC moves to F and claws her for 11 total dmg, and again for 9 dmg
- F stabs TC with her magicky dagger for 9 piercing dmg, but the poison doesn't phase it, then she Disengages and runs to T
- S casts Fireball again, but it dodges again and only takes 17 fire dmg
- T does not move closer to death
- TC claws F but finally misses, then her tries to claw her again and misses again
- F Disengages and dives into the water disappearing
- S casts Magic Missile on TC for 25 force dmg
- T is no longer dying. She is merely Unconscious.
- TC moves to S and for 10 slashing and 8 cold dmg, then again for 13 slashing and 7 cold dmg, and Sharai is KOed.
- F pops out of the water and throws her dagger nailing him in the back of the neck for 22 piercing dmg killing it!

- Pell is impressed and borrows F's longsword to chop off the thing's head to take to Wombert.
- S takes the opportunity to see if the wizard who conjured this beastie lost anything at the bottom of the lake, and she finds a glass orb filled with water in which swims a clockwork goldfish that is about the size of a chicken's egg

- 4,085 XP ea for 51,720 XP total ea. - LEVEL 9 achieved!
