5:30 pm Things start in the smelter cavern with the huge blast furnace
and mechanical Bellows. One of the bugbears thanks the party and they head down a
passage and to the structure where the spellforge is and they are shown the 5
ft diameter brazier with the green flames. The bugbears are told not to put
anything in the flames as it has destroyed a few items and are not sure how to
use it correctly. One of the bugbears goes to inform Nezznar of the spellforge.
Nezznar and Nundro are back away from the main group with Nezznar’s four spider
pets. Nezznar is still currently invisible. A Bugbear takes one of the old rusty weapons from one of the
long dead corpse and places it in the flames for a couple of minutes using the
gripping tools in the room. Then pulls it out to see the weapon is still in one
piece. When asked what is in the second structure the bugbears are
informed that a very dangerous and hostile creature resides there and even
tells them their weapons will likely not harm him! A bugbear reports this to Nezznar and returns stating that
Nezznar wants to flush out that building as well so that the caves can be
roamed freely. Some of the party enters the building and Mormesk rises from the
floor . Rolo tries to communicate the bugbears intentions to Mormesk
using the message spell. Dia uses a minor illusion off to one corner hoping the
bugbears won’t see it. It is a small image of a bugbear, then weapons then an
arrow pointing at Mormesk. Marcuria makes a slight motion to the door, and the party backs
outside as Mormesk floats near the door. Mormesk says, “You must leave here!”. Bugbear says, “No, it is
you that must leave. These caves are ours now!” Avery quips, “I don’t know, he makes a pretty compelling case…” A fight against Mormesk ensues with the party gradually moving
to the south end of the cavern where it exits into the fungi cavern with the
poisonous gas mushrooms. The bugbears and Nezznar do not yet know that the
party had cleared the way before with the flaming sphere spell. Dia had casted the Fog cloud spell , which creates a 20 ft
radius sphere of fog lasting up to an hour if concentration can be had for that
long. This fog cloud was to hinder the spiders whom were still up on top of the
escarpment and near the spellforge building. Mormesk gradually defeats each bugbear as they strike with their
non-magical weapons. The bugbears are being lead to believe that Mormesk is
getting wounded thanks to the minor illusion cantrip being used by both Dia and
Rolo. The illusion would show Mormesk is getting wounded with each strike of
the bugbears’ morningstars and words of pain like, “Ouch!” The spiders never came down to assist the fight and Mormesk
defeats most of the bugbears as some were successfully persuaded to attack him
as well! Note: for full details of the fighting see the archived weekly story chapter! The session ends with three of the bugbears still fighting
Mormesk, as the adventurers retreat to the west passage of the fungi room! The fight has so far lasted 1.7 minutes or 17 rounds of fighting
(6 seconds per round). And
this ends the gaming session for the day, until next time! It is now June 26 th at 5:32 pm. The Adventurers’ Experience
