Fire Pit, Crypt of the Everflame, Serpent Gorge, 40 Miles South of Kassen, Southern Fangwood, Nirmathas

As Snaggle moves through and past the enveloping shadow, the creature tries to drain him once more. The kobold fights his way across the room, but shadowy tendrils pierce the force shield and penetrate scaly flesh. Snaggle briefly drops to one knee from otherworldly weariness, but eventually struggles his way to his allies, weak, but not defeated.

The haunt glides through smoke and flickering shadows, but stops at the entrance to the hallway. It glares, but does not leave the familiarity of the fire pit to pursue. Eventually, it turns back, sinking against the walls and floor of its chosen domain to lie in wait for a new unwitting victim to drain.

GM:

Despite Snaggle's 50% chance to snuff it at one point there, you all successfully survive the encounter. In addition to your rewards, I'm giving you the encounter art from the module.

"Right, let's finish searching this floor and avoid that room from now on."

OOC:

How come random chance always seems to favor the bad guys? stupid statistical outliers

"Agreed."

Gamble recasts light so the group doesn't have to talk in the dark. "OK. Which way do we want to go? Also, what do you all want to do about this dagger? Do you want to carry it Joseph?"

The gnome looks to the others, waiting for them to add to the discussion.

"I'll hold onto the dagger for now, and I believe we need to backtrack past the beetle room to explore the rest of this floor."

"We need to start looking for a place to rest as well, but if we can clear the level that would help we rest better."

Courage · Oct 22, 2012

Gamble hands the magic dagger to Snaggle. "So which way are we checking now? I think you have point, Snaggle."
