Previous: Session 054; Next: Session 056
Start: 6th of Excitol, mid afternoon. Breakout of combat with the kobolds in the warrens: Aoife Sweeney at the back stairs, Calliope and Rohtagels facing off with the leader, and Arwa Hathspelt Reduced in the hole leading to the rear of Burub's hut.
Encounter with 14 Kobolds controlled by Intellect Devourers in the Kobold warrens of Qir'ellan'alak. All but 1 Intellect Devourer were killed, and the survivor escaped further into the warrens. The party pursued, and Calliope and Aoife Sweeney found an illusory wall near the top of one of the mine shafts. Aoife Sweeney pursued through the illusion, caught up to the Intellect Devourer in the secret tunnel, and killed it.
Reconvening, the Bill's Bimbos reported their findings to Azaetha Starstride. She began to organize a scouting party of Drow rangers to scout this tunnel. The Bill's Bimbos requested they join the rangers tomorrow morning, needing to rest after their recent combat.
7th of Excitol, morning: the Bill's Bimbos joined Quenthal and his rangers (Folmareth, Merlara, Limbaron) outside the secret tunnel. The Bill's Bimbos and the rangers entered the cavern. Over the course of 2 days, the scouting party traveled 35 miles down the circular tunnel.
In the evening of the 8th of Excitol, the group began experiencing growing feelings of paranoia, looking over their shoulders and feeling some unseen force watching them from behind. Aoife Sweeney made some sort of psychic link with the Nexus Encephalon at this point.
End: 8th of Excitol, evening, at the end of the tunnel to the lair of the Nexus Encephalon, preparing to approach and scout ahead with Quenthal and his rangers.
