They had a big battle in the "Troglodyte Egg Chamber," which included the party druid leaping among tall stalagmites in ape form to get to a huge cradle of trog eggs and avoid the troglodyte juggernaut below. There was some concern about whether or not to smash the eggs, and the druid did smash a couple to get the juggernaut's attention (and the party later fed one to a bonesnapper in hopes of distracting it - it didn't work).  They then made their way to a flooded cavern with a sunken portion of a temple, where Explicita Defilus was hiding out with her final minions, including a troglodyte mystic, two scouts, several crocs, and a dominated boy villager to use as a human shield! (Also he was dominated, so had creepy child vibes). The druid casting water-walking really helped, when the boat they were using to cross the chamber became ground zero for the naga's fireball.We had to call the session mid-combat. We left it with the party scattered around the chamber. Ottie, the NPC monk was confronting the scouts up on a stone shelf firing arrows down at the others, Rollo the barbarian just put the finishing kibosh on the trog mystic (killing him in two rounds before he got to do much) over by the temple ruins, Nora the tiefling sorcerer/ranger is up on a rock being loomed over by the naga, after getting up from dying thanks to healing word, but rather than flee - she decided to stick close and attack, which may have been a mistake. Thron the druid is fighting off a croc, while his summoned "Air Beast" is grappled by the naga. Oh and Alston, thinking that the child was evil and maybe the secret power behind what was going on (not sure why he thought this) cast Chill Touch on the kid, so now the kid's dying and the gnome feels guilty when he realized it was just a kid!It was a fun session but I wish we'd been able to finish - because this is the 9th session for this adventure alone (so far)!</blockquote>
