Things get a bit
grim-dark and Augustus makes a brew. . . Book Two,
Chapter 2.1 (session 47, 12 th April 2018)
Many potions are
slugged, some more are found and also slugged back. The elven nobles are killed
and the final Dragonfang slain.
The party ventures
into the noisome ettin lair and Augustus scouts ahead, spots an elf in a
corridor. The others follow up. Elven farmers creep up the corridor shooting
crossbows with trembling hands, Jamna and Mads shoot them down with bow and
eldritch blast.
Augustus finds a
ramshackle door and returns to the ettin lair, Chuth roars and a cloud of
poisonous gas fills the lair, Naergon and Mads fall. Franz moves to their aid.
More elves sneak up the corridor to be shot down. Augustus and Franz move to
the door and Augustus kicks it open, Franz creeps out onto a raised platform
with a weird worn statue of a Yuan-ti in the corner.
Naergon casts
Arcane Eye and examines the chamber beyond, finding Chuth clinging to the top
of a pillar within a cold lake in a vast dark chamber. Augustus loses hope and
crawls off into a corner and curls up to sleep. As Naergon scouts with his eye,
Jamna and Mads discuss whether they should rest – Augustus seems to have voted
already.
Chuth swoops down
and attacks Franz with his tail, Franz uses his thunder stick, deafening Jamna
and striking Chuth with lightning, he then retreats up the narrow corridor as
Chuth scrabbles at it in frustration.
The party clumps
together in the northern portion of the stinking ettin lair, safe from the
dragon’s breath and in the belief that the last of its minions have been
eliminated, they slump to the ground and take a short rest.
Beyond, in the
darkened lair, Chuth roars and lashes at the corridor entrances but he cannot
squeeze into the narrow spaces . . .
