[QUOTE="TallIan, post: 7551679, member: 6853819"] [B]Session 18 – Stone Circles[/B] Trapped in the temple that is slowly filling with water. With water breathing, there is no immediate concern, but we will have to get out at some point. After trying some other thigs that prove futile a simple thunderwave brings the ceiling crashing down. It also brings a deluge of water through the now, much bigger, hole in the ceiling. We can get out now though and it is a long swim upward. Then a long swim in a huge lake before we find a duergar raft. Although we try a peaceful approach and buy passage on their raft, they are less willing to accept us and it turns in to a fight, that ends badly for the duergar. We now have a raft and a chest that we can’t open. We head back to Blingdenstone and along the way encounter a few obstacles that prove minor; some drow, dangerous rapids, an empty boat, an aquatic troll, and more of those strange ray creatures. All easily dealt with. Once we returned to Blingdenstone we find the flaw in our plan to retrieve the scroll. The only person who could have cast the spell was Naomi, and she is now dead. Welby has a chance of doing it but success or fail he’ll use up the scroll. We decide to take the gamble and Boreal is restored to us. Boreal has had an afterlife experience in the form of strange visions. He’s spent most of the time in the plane of earth. With a few things drawing him out; he saw Jimjaw chanting in front of his stone form, as though trying to cast a spell; a vision of a drow warrior listing names; a muscular barbarian being controlled as though he was a marionette; a vision of Pelor fighting a spider and a shapeless creature covered in eyes; and then a long blackness of nothing. When we quizzed Jimjar about this he admitted that while he was stuck in The Warrens he tried to resurrect Boreal. We are also able to identify that the monster with many eyes is Juiblex, daemon lord of slime and ooze. With Boreal alive again, we have nothing really keeping us in the Underdark, but I am keen to try and remove the curse on the two gemstones that I have and we set off trying to find this missing stone circle. Asking around for rumours we can only find out that the stone circles are real. The only clue we have is the strange fake wall in the Medusa lair. Boreal refuses to come with us though – understandably – so we only have Welby. This time we find a secret door, concealed with strange markings that keep it hidden and locked. We make a copy of the markings and ask around Blingdenstone again. The Digger Mattocks offer to get some research done for us. After two days one of the gnomes finds an old document that detaisl how to operate the door. A Gold pick striking the right spot will open the door. We have enough silver to get one made up and head back. A short corridor on the other side opens into a stone circle. [/QUOTE]
