The binder charged the barbazu approaching from the rear and shredded them efficiently with only one minor nick. Meanwhile the priestess and githyanki were zapped by a chaos hammer through the viewhole of the barred door between areas 11 & 12. They decided to not waste time breaking it down and just dimension doored through. The sniper also used his usual combo of invisibility and blinking to head through the walls and scout ahead, stopping briefly to back the other guys up with a blast of flame. In the process he found that areas 11 & 12 were filled with captives chained to the walls, almost certainly going to become meals or incubation chambers for the slaadi, 13 was just a pantry and 14 & 15 were choke points filled with groups of blue slaadi led by a death slaad and grey slaad, respectively.Over the course of the several rounds he did that, the githyanki & priestess cleared the green & gray slaad, and then started to explore this section as well, with priestess looking in area 9, then heading up the tunnel towards area 13 while the githyanki broke down the door to area 12. (but deciding they were too busy to unchain the captives at this point, although they might come back for them later) The binder finished off the barbazu and headed for the door that connected to area 5, which had more blue slaad behind it. It also turned out that one of the gray slaad she downed last session wasn't quite dead and its fast healing brought it up to positive hp again while she was occupied. It ran to the door first and begged the minions behind to let it in, then blasted her with chaos hammer and hold person as she tore the door down, neither of which had any effect since she's the chaotic evil one of the group. It only took a couple of rounds for her many acidic attacks to penetrate the hardness of the door and get to them, and another to tear them apart. But the door to room 5 is similarly tough with even more slaadi on the other side, so there's always a chance it'll delay her long enough for a natural 1 to put a crimp in her style next session.While that was going on, the githyanki finished checking out the prison rooms and moved to follow the priestess. This brought them to where the sniper was scouting, so he warned them that there were multiple blockades ahead. Of course, they're not stealthy like him so they just charged ahead to get into the fight and got blasted with another collective chaos hammer from the blue slaadi. The priestess was starting to get low on hp after all these hits so the githyanki summoned a couple of amnizu to take the brunt, and the sniper broke his stealth to unleash a wings of flurry on them, which killed one blue slaad and wounded the others. The amnizu took out the remaining blue slaad, but the death slaad made its saves against the fireballs and hit the priestess with a power word blind, which will definitely slow her down for a bit until she can meet up with the binder again and swap her blindsight blindfold over. Hopefully less session will have fewer technical troubles and allow more progress.</blockquote>
