Map of area explored under Durra

In case you need to get caught up

Sorry for not writing this one in character, but I think it would be quicker to just do a quick list.

Here's what happened at out last session:

Day 1

• We have two options for moving forward right now, neither of which has any real backing yet
  
• Explore ruins below Sharn *Best Choice*
  
• Head off towards Thornhold
  
• Before we go down, we decide to spend the day letting Daaleen heal while we try to get some info/maps/etc
• Determine the path to the ruins is through the sewers below the city
• Also learn the area under the "Fallen" district of Lower Dura is the oldest
• We go to a magic user/shop to get some loot identified
• Amulet: +1 nat. armor (Teves get the amulet)
• Wand: cure light wound (47 charges, Marcal's on top of that one)
• Realize we are still being followed by the 7' guy

Day 2

• Cab to Middle Dura, and then climb down to Lower Dura
• Come across a group of beast men banging on a door
• FIGHT
• We win and save the lives of:
• Fayla: 1/2 elf priestess of Silver Flame
• Kara: little lost human girl
• We get Kara home safely and return to the sewer entrance near Fayla's church
• Entrance to the sewers is a well/sistern (unknown depth, turns out to be ~80-100ft)
• Marcal and I hold the rope while Willa climbs down
• While she is on the rope we get jumped by a MEGA-CRAPLOAD of beast men
• FIGHT (I kill a lot of doods)
• Deus Ex Machina: Big 7' guy that was following us comes out of nowhere. It's a bugbear, and he just cleaves the snot out of a big chunk of the beast men so I don't die while holding the rope.
• That hurt (me .. everyone else was down in the bottom of the well, well out of harms way)
• Once the fight is over, I get down there too. We find a dead body (translucent, with gills)
• Turns out it's the body of a servant to some ancient evil race
• We head off upstream, past a giant sinkhole/whirlpool
• See a hole in the wall of the tunnel that is 5-6 ft across and 2-3 ft above water level and has perfectly smooth edges (as if it was melted, not carved)
• we go into the hole (duh)
• walls feel warm
• Enter a 20x20 ft room with 2 doors (1 w/ writing)
• Surprised by a giant fire worm: Thoqqua
• Start to fight it, but Marcal just casts fear and it runs away
• Open the door with writing (which we can't read, but turns out it said something like "Danger, don't enter" or some such warning)
• Enter a long hallway, and about halfway in get attacked by two undead skeletons (larger than humans)
• FIGHT
• Loot: 2 great swords and 2 breastplates (bugbear size, not magical)
• Decide Daaleen is going to carry everything since he hasn't been useful all day
• Open the door at the end of the hallway
• Thanks to my high spot check, Willa bust in first while I stayed out
• GELATINOUS CUBE!! (sucks Willa in)
  
• FIGHT
• Loot: brass key, rocks/garbage, 6 gems
• The fight was in a large room. The ceiling has 13 goblonoid heroes painted on it.

End of Session 3

~Marcal's Journal~

How to begin on such an eventful day? It seems like the same mundane chores are given to me for my enjoyment. If I was to give my various titles it would be as follows : 1st Class Mug Washer, Server of "Delicious" Foods, the mopping expert (or so my father says...), etc. As you can see the list could go on forever. I do care for my father, but tales of grand adventures make me long for a life away from home. Telling the stories of great happenings was enjoyable at one time, but I wait for the day when I am remembered in the great textbooks of the University.

Unfortunately I've been told by my father that before I become famous I must go to the bazaar to pick up an order. Perhaps my days of glory will arrive soon or shall I always be known as "the greatest unknown" there ever was. I hope not.

Yours,

Marcal Frey
