Javelin of Lightning, Bracers of Archery, Bracers of Celerity, Luminous War Pick, Ring of Mind Shielding. Gem of brightness.I had a strong group of six. Charlotte Bard 5 Half elf. Droo barbarian Zealot 5 Human. Norkin Artificer 5 Battlesmith Rock Gnome. Glyph Fighter 5 Human. Cailfiel Queldrer Evocation wizard 5 wood elf. Kotash Gor-Kah life cleric 6 Orc.The group wakes up on New Year’s Eve grumpy and with a hangover which was troublesome as they didn’t drink the night before. They scout around the volcano and find a lava vent. After some adventures in the vent, they find themselves in a hot spring room which centuries ago had be converted by Hjoldark into a spa. Spending an hour relaxing, they decide to push on to the adventure.Droo, “Um Smelly goblin latrine. And smelly goblin. Charge. He broke and won’t answer questions.” A quick speak with dead gets a head count of the goblins and location of Kotash’s son. As they open the door to the dorm rooms a minor fight starts and ends with a small goblin trying to open the huge doors by himself.Arriving on the second level Cailfiel nixes going up the backdoor sewer passage and the group turns south into the purple geode cavern with only dealing with some worms who contested their passage.Following the cart tracks they come out to the lava lake. The mine tracks run along side the lake and three stories of scaffolding are still being worked by the remains of the deep dwarf work force. On a fishing house in the lava is the lift to the Indigo Sanctum. As they get two thirds of the way across, the Shield guardian and Gum-Gum come out the elevator.”Gum-Gum, “All these nice new recuits for the new gods. And an ugly mother.”Karash, “So you met my son.”Gum-Gum, “Yes and he is below listening to the gods.”Karash, “I want his wand.”Group, “Um. UUUU.”Karash, “of Fireballs.”Gum-Gum, “You mean this wand of fireballs. Which does fireball!” and the fight is on With the walkway being only five feet wide a deadly funnel is form on both sides. With their movement block by their own party a lot of shoving goes on. Dangerous shoving. Norking casts heat metal on the wand which causes Gum-Gum to toss in the lava lake.Karash, “Get the wand.” Glyph dives for but is body checked by the guardian. Spell, arrows, swords and fists fly back and forth. Norkin reduces the stone work on the walkway causing the guardian to fall in. However, the guardian drags Glyph into the lava with him.Norkin, “FETCH” Sacrificing his steel defender Glyph is saved. But as he nears death a healing word brings him back. As he opens his eyes the smell foot of Droo lands on his belly button, and Droo lands across the broken walkway. Over extending his side cut, he succeeds in taking Gum-Gum’s head.He doesn’t succeed in his dex save and falls into the lava. Karash grabs his body by the ankles and fishes out the wand. She slaps a cure wounds on his butt and dashes into the elevator. She goes down alone. As the group is looting the body, they hear a muffled fireball.Gromash Gorkin comes out the elevator dusting the ash of his mother off his clothing and throws down more loot.End of Chapter 5DM Notes, Love the boss fight and good use of spells. We will pick this up just outside of town next time. Auto loot for finishing the chapter and due to time.A giant badge name Bessie follows Norkin home. Perhaps a saddle needs to be made.DM Gripe. MAP problems. The Shield Guardian is Large. It was either build in place in the sanctum or you have to have squeeze through the rest of dungeon. Either fix the map, or have the guardian be man sized.End of Session 483</blockquote>
