- Incontinent dog is still kicking.
- 7-11 sometimes has cookies in the shape of Slurpees.
- The girls decide to break into the house through the back window into the bedroom that is (at least when F looked through) empty.
- To make the B&E easier, T mediates and swaps out Detect Poison and Disease with Silence.
- The girls walk around to the bedroom window, T casts Silence centered on the window, and then S starts to walk toward the window to break it with her staff, but she sees that one of the old women is in the room sitting in a chair. It looks like she is knitting something.
- F recognizes her as one of the two women she saw before.
- S goes around to the front of the house and sees a second old woman tending to the fire. While peeking through the window uses her magic to cause a cup to fall off the table. The woman at the fire turns and the one from the bedrooms comes into the front room to see what's going on.
- S dashes back around and breaks the Silenced window, using her staff she clears the broken edges of glass and climbs in. FT follow, and T dismisses Silence and S quickly casts Leomund's Tiny Hut across the door between the rooms.
- S throws open the trap door and a smell of death emanates up from the cellar.
- The two women (Agnes and Ethyl) flip around and examine the opaque force field that has just sprung up in their doorway. Ethyl tells Agnes to go look through the window.
- FST hide themselves beside the window (or below it in the case of Thessalie).
- Agnes tells Ethyl that the window is broken, and Ethyl asks Agnes if they have intruders.
- FST manage to hide themselves so that she doesn't see them.
- The old ladies trade places and Ethyl looks in the room. T sneezes. She looks over and sees Sharai hiding behind the curtain. She calls to Agnes that they do have intruders!
- S grabs the curtain and rips it down over the old lady.
- Ethyl grabs the curtain and drags it out through the window with her.
- They talk about how the intruders will have to come out sometime.
- T yells at them that they are creepy and asks where the baby is.
- One asks "What baby?"
- T says their basement smells of death.
- The old biddies stop talking at that point.
- T notices that the bed frame seems to be made from human bones and S notices that the rug in the living room seems to be made from cured and woven entrails.
- S opens the trap door again. She then casts a small light down there so they see shapes that seem to be a table, a pedestal, and something shiny on the wall over there.
- F climbs down the ladder, and S goes to hand her the lamp and realizes that the shade is made of skin. She knock it across the room and hands the uncovered lamp down to F.
- F sees that the table has restraint cuffs, in one of which there is still a foot. Only a foot. There are bloody, empty meat hooks and cleavers and knives hanging on the wall over there.
- There is a bassinet on the pedestal. There is a naked girl baby who is sleeping, but covered in sticky blood. Like it had a bath in blood.
- F grabs the baby who wakes up and starts crying and climbs back up the ladder.
- S cleans the baby (Prestidigitation).
- F: We found the girl!
- S: Are we looking for a girl?
- T: Does it matter?! She shouldn't stay here!
- Agnes says, "They're stealing Mildred's baby, Ethyl!"
- While S fashions a sling for the baby out of the remaining curtain (woven from what is probably human hair), a new voice shows up and asks "What's going on, Agnes?"
- Thessalie says "Goat" in Elvish meaning to say a swear word, but she gets it wrong as usual.
- The girls have a quick, whispered conference in the corner and decide that the three Crazy, Cannibalistic Crones need to die or they might just return to the village and steal the baby again.
- There is some strategy talk, and T casts Warding Bond on F so she can block attacks from S, then climbs on the bed so that she can see out of the window.
Crisis at the Cottage
- T casts Guiding Bolt at Agnes through the window for 15 radiant dmg.
- A says "They're attacking me, Ethyl!" and she goes invisible.
- S tries to shoot E through the door, but misses. Ethyl says, "They are attacking us, Agnes!"
- F initiates the poison on her dagger and throws it at Ethyl for 16 poison dmg and 17 piercing dmg. Ethyl is Poisoned.
- M does things ???
- E turns invisible.
- T readies Spirit Guardians and then moves to the window and peeks through it as best she can to look out of it.
- S moves to the window and casts Thunder Wave out the window opening. ??? takes 12 thunder dmg, maybe. S oves back into the corner.
- T moves to S and quickly proposes setting cottage to the to draw the Crazy, Cannibalistic Crones out, and then climbs out the window and casts Spirit Guardians
- A takes 8 radiant SG dmg, then reappears in front of T (she now has green, saggy skin with darker "age spots", long bony claws for fingers, and long stringy, oily hair). She slashes T for 9 dmg.
- S holds her turn.
- F throws herself out the window and moves to flank A with T, then stabs her with the magicky dagger for 24 piercing dmg, then with her offhand dagger for 1 piercing dmg.
- S moves to the window opening, dismissing the Hut, then casts Fireball into the living room on the table and chairs. ??? takes 34 fire dmg, maybe. The entire living room is now on fire
- M appears in the square flanking F, takes 5 radiant SG dmg, and slashes F for 4 dmg.
- E? breaks the window in the living room (to escape the conflagration, probably).
- T casts Sacred Flame on A for 6 radiant dmg, then casts Spiritual Weapon next to F and A, but misses on the attack.
- A takes 14 radiant SG dmg and dies.
- F turns and and misses M with both her daggers.
- S casts Melf's Acid Arrow on M, missing, but the splash from where it hits the ground gets her for 3 acid dmg.
- M takes 6 radiant SG dmg and turns invisible.
- E appears in front of S (looking crispy), takes 6 radiant SG dmg, yells "You will not take the baby!" and slashes S for 19 dmg.
- T moves to S and heals her for 8 HP, then moves the SW to E and smashes her for 5 force dmg.
- F moves to S's other side and readies her dagger to stab the remaining hag.
- S casts Thunder Wave in front of her. M takes 7 thunder dmg, maybe.
- M takes 18 radiant SG dmg, maybe.
- T readies Sacred Flame.
- F readies her longsword.
- S casts Thunder Wave and M takes 5 thunder dmg, maybe.
- M ???
- T readies Sacred Flame again.
- F readies a longsword attack again.
- S casts Burning Hands and sets some grass on fire.
- M ???
- T casts Guardian of Faith two squares away from herself.
- F keeps her longsword ready.
- S casts Evard's Black Tentacles two squares away from herself in the other direction
- M ???
Some time passes and nothing seems to happen. T moves next to her Guardian of Faith and meditates to swap out Silence for Detect Evil & Good. FST move away from the burning cottage in the clearing while T is detecting (having cast her spell as a ritual) and then when she gives the all clear, S casts Leomund's Tiny Hut as a ritual. The girls settle in for a sleep with the elves on either side of a very spooked T.
