#05 Nobody Calls Skjorn a Peasant

March 10, 2022

Location: The Silken Paths

while traversing the Silken Paths...

Mylz & Zaz spot someone cocooned in webs; Eldeth joins them to investigate

  • Fargas is freed and joins the party, mentions he is looking for treasure
  • Mylz hears Sarith loading his crossbow and ducks, and it turns out he was sniping a giant spider; something that is taboo for drow

after reaching solid ground, Yuk Yuk & Spiderbait express interest in Party's adventures and decide to join them


Location: The Underdark

while trying to cross a thin platform over a ravine, Ront & Derendil fall

  • Mylz catches Derendil, but falls as well; Eldeth grabs her and holds on while they both climb back up
  • Dibrael manages to grab Ront in time and pull him back over the edge
    • Ront is quietly grateful and embarrassed; Derendil kneels before Mylz & Eldeth and says he owes them

Zaz investigates some footsteps, is spotted by the slavers, and a chase ensues

  • at a fork in the road, Mylz casts fog cloud and Zaz creates a noise distraction
  • Zaz tries to scare the slavers off with the illusion of monster noises
  • Skjorn begins to lag behind, and Dibrael trips and falls

Zaz gets an idea and splashes flammable oil on a weak cave wall

  • Skjorn magically causes an explosion that leads to a cave-in between Party and the slavers

Location: Lost Tomb of Khaem

cave-in reveals a bronze door set in a marble wall; Fargas recognizes it as what he was looking for

  • he touches the door and everyone telepathically hears a voice calling for help
  • Mylz immediately enters to find the source and help; Fargas enters for his treasure

Party finds a room with 4 sarcophagi and accidentally awakens 4 specters

  • after defeating them, Mylz moves one of the sarcophagi and reveals a secret room

the secret room is the true resting place of the noblewoman Brysis Khaem, who emerges as an angry wraith

  • Brysis yells, "How dare you peasants enter my tomb?!"
  • Skjorn, horribly offended at being called a peasant: rolls a nat20, flexes his sleeves off, and obliterates her with his spells

Mylz opens the sarcophagus and finds Dawnbringer, the sentient magical sword who was calling for help

  • Zaz stubs his toe on an invisible chest, finding a great amount of treasure and distributing it among everyone
