Session Overview
In-game Date: 20 Falkhyn 1197md, Late-Afternoon
- The party have taken a temporary breather, at a t-junction between a scriptorium, kennels, and the Gnoll's room
- Elowen casts a spell of Shapechange and takes the form of a female wolf.
- She wanders into the kennels and takes a look around. She senses that the caged wolves were unhappy.
This was a general meeting hall from when the dungeon was in use. Large blood-red columns stretch to the ceiling, meeting in a confusion of angles and arches far above the floor. At the far end of the room are two open passageways and a raised section of floor.
Currently, this is a stabling area for the wolves the goblins ride into battle. Six makeshift wooden stalls and cages line the far wall, containing six large, mean–looking wolves. The wolves begin to howl and gnash their teeth as soon as anyone enters the room. In addition to the cages, hay covers much of the floor, and several large animal carcasses hang from hooks at the far end of the room. A table is pushed up against a wall and large chunks of meat are piled on it. A massive, blood-smeared cleaver is stuck in the table.
- She also saw four goblins that were shouting at the caged wolves to shut up.
- She is shocked at the language the goblins is throwing around.
- Glint walks down the passageway into the kennels and bangs on one of the cages.
- For a moment, the goblins were shocked before charging at the Half-Orc.
- Three goblins began charging at the Half-Orc whilst the final goblin makes its way out the doorway behind it and down the stairs.
- One goblin misses its attack and breaks open the cage.
- The caged wolf pounces on the goblin that broke open the cage.
- Glint defends himself, taking minor cuts on his leathers.
- Magpie, Garax and Davian rush into the kennels, weapons drawn.
- Magpie attempts to cast a Bolt to kill the goblin that has released the wolf, but he suffers a Backlash that turns him into a Fairy Light.
- Elowen and the freed wolf pounce on the hapless goblin, mauling it to death.
- Davian looses an arrow at the farthest goblin as it tries to get away, striking it in the back of its shoulder.
- Glint and Garax each made their way to a separate opponent, taking the time to take them down.
- Elowen looks around at the caged wolves and identifies the Alpha which is watching the party with curiosity.
- Elowen indicates to Magpie to release the wolves.
- Magpie takes his time to cast an Unlocking spell to cover all the cages.
- The cages open and the wolves push their way out of them.
- The wolves quickly check each other before the Alpha takes the time to check them.
- The Alpha inspects each of the humanoid heroes, assessing their scent, before inspecting the wolf-form Elowen.
- Her inspection complete, the Alpha indicates to the pack to follow her out of the dungeon.
- Elowen feels that the Alpha was curious about her, and that she was grateful for the rescue/release.
- The party gather themselves, make their way out of the kennels, round a corner and down a set of stairs that lead further underground.
- The heroes were facing a long passageway with a door on the right hand side.
- The party open the door and find an empty room, cluttered with a broken table and chairs, and debris.
This is an abandoned room with nothing in it except a few piles of wood, remains of old chairs, and a broken table. The entire eastern wall of this room is very unstable and likely to collapse if any weight is placed on it. It was thin to begin with, with only brick and mortar holding it together. Time and water have worn most of the mortar away, making the entire wall little more than a pile of bricks.
- Elowen can sense air moving around the eastern wall. Garax, as a Dwarf, was skilled in Stonecunning and could tell that the wall is thin enough to break it down.
- A hard shove on the wall causes a large portion of it to collapse and reveal a kitchen, packed with goblins.
This room was once used as the dungeon mess. Currently, the goblins also use it as a mess, even though they had no idea of its previous purpose. The central area of the floor in this room is about five feet lower than the walkway around its rim. Columns are located all along the walkway. One stairway at the south end of the room descends into the lowered portion of the room. Two huge cooking pits blazing with fire have pigs on a spit roasting over them. Goblins are sprawled out all over this room, singing songs and dancing their vile dances while imbibing a fairly strong liquor. There are 16 goblins in the room in various stages of inebriation, a Gnoll war chief, and the cook.
- There is a small standoff until the gnoll war chief starts shouting for the extremely drunk goblins to attack the party.
- Magpie casts Darksight on Davian.
- 2024-03-04 casts Protection on the group.
- The goblins are completely wasted as they attack en masse.
- The goblin cook tries to run away, throwing himself behind one of the columns.
- Elowen is able to maul several goblins.
- Davian fires arrows at the gnoll war chief standing at the far door.
- Magpie throws multiple Bolts at the goblins, frying several of them.
- The gnoll war chief] tries to attack Glint with a pair of throwing knives, striking him in the shoulder with one, and the second lost into the empty room behind him.
- Glint makes multiple attacks, ambidextrously striking the goblins with his paired battle axes.
- Garax sweeps his great axe across the edge of the pit, fuelling the number of deaths.
- With all drunken goblins killed, the gnoll decides not to linger and makes a runner through the door.
- Magpie eliminates the Goblin cook with prejudice.
- As the gnoll makes its way out the door, Davian rushes along the rim of the room and through the door.
- Alas he was too late as the gnoll is nowhere in sight.
