The underground chamber exploded in violence. The Langdale zealots charged at our heroes, each brandishing a curved daggar laced with thick, black poison. A single slice from any of them could spell doom...

Greaseface, Lavina, and Priggat were ready to support their party however they could. The three stepped back and fired off a bless spell in the direction of their party members, hoping to boost their abilities. Unfortunately for them, they each missed by a mile and accidentally blessed incoming cultists, who overran their party members with their enhanced speed and strength.

Sandro had a more conventional plan. His four arms went to work and he went through the motions to cast Healing Word. As he helped boost his party, he felt a sense of accomplishment. And then he found five gold!

Cyrillus, Rok, and Marnu had a LESS conventional plan! The three peered up at the hundreds of upside down bats that hung from the rocky ceiling of the cavern. The three nodded at one another and cast Animal Friendship on the bats, hoping they would fight on their behalf. The bats swarmed down in unison and swarmed...Cyrillus, Rok, and Marnu. They did not take being disturbed very well. The three limped away and felt unwell after each taking some bites.


Ahron, Khanarak, and a still drunk Tuuluuwaq decided to play it safe. The three cast Blade Barrier around their respective parties. A vertical wall of whirring, razor sharp blades made of magical energy materialized around them, cutting the cultists off from their parties. Unfortunately, since they weren't quite well versed in magic yet, the perimeter wasn't quite big enough as their parties huddled together to try to avoid getting sliced up by the blades. They were not entirely successful in their quest.

Randall, Murder Bunny, Vandal, and Canassa did what they did best. They charged ahead, screaming their heads off and swinging their weapons wildly. The four cut through robes and dispatched of dozens of cultists, managing to swoop up some gold that was dropped along the way.


It was time for the mages to step in. Malus and Faerora cast wall of fire, each raising a large, vertical wall of flames that cut across the cavern floor. Several cult members were burnt up in the process, while the rest wouldn't dare cross. With the time that they bought themselves, Malus and Faerora managed to free a few corpses of their coin purses.

Ordella, Calius, and Booberella fired off some charges of Eldritch Blast. Their hands crackled with purple energy and the three used it to vanquish a few incoming attackers. Some of their gold scattered in the process, but it was well worth it.

Rara and Hustus had other plans. As they saw the hundreds of bats flock around their fellow party members, they also noticed the stalactites just above the incoming zealots. A few blasts of magic missiles later and the heavy stalactites came crashing down, violently squashing the incoming threats.

The twenty adventurers continued cutting through the Langdale cultists, eventually leaving just the wicked Mayor Salvis. The tiefling lowered his hood and backed closer and closer to the altar that Khanarak had just been strapped to.

"We should kill him!"

"No, we should let him go!"

Khanarak stood forth. "No. No I have a much better idea." he said with a smile.

Moments later, Salvis was tied down to the altar and Khanarak was reading from the tome that Salvis was thumbing through earlier. After muttering some indistinguishable phrases from the tome, the room began to tremble. Stalactites began to crash down around them and the ground began to split.

"Run, ra?" proposed Rara.

Akmong led the twenty one across the chamber and back to the spiral staircase, with several agreeing to grab Salvis' ornate chest from the altar on their way out.

As they exited, Salvis was left alone in the crumbling chamber. Some turned back just in time to see what horror befell the disgraced mayor. A ghastly spirit had risen from the altar and floated just above Salvis, its form hovering just inches away from his face. Salvis screamed as his wicked deity screamed back, melting away Salvis' flesh and bone into nothing but mush.

"Stheeesth!" an exasperated Priggat yelled out as he watched. The ratfolk finished climbing the steps and exited the chamber just as it caved in behind him.


Before they even managed to catch their breath, a few members of the group decided to crack open the lockbox they had snagged. The box opened, bringing with it a violent gust of wind that blew through each of them. The six who stood around it were knocked about as some essence danced through them, bouncing from one to the next. When the room eventually calmed, the six collected themselves and noted that nothing seemed to happen...until they counted their gold later on that evening.
