Women Freed... Moving On
Rothal successfully leads the women prisoners out of the goblin hall... the group can now only hope that he is able to survive the two hour trip back to Brighton.


Pressing on, Junius exits the prison and turns right, leading the group past the previously explored guard room, and beyond into the unknown. A long way. The dwarf estimates this new stone passage takes the group approximately 150-feet.

With the group trailing slightly behind him, Junius reaches the next point of decision:

  • The passage continues straight;
    Off to his right, the putrid smell of death and decay permeates from beyond a solid wooden door with a cross-beam locking it in place;
    A large set of wooden double doors loom menacingly off to his left, approximately 50-feet down this new side passage.

Horatio holds his nose and checks the stinky door for traps.

Check for traps (24%): [1d100] = 77

He shrugs and steps well away from the door.

KOBOLD AVALANCHE!!!
While the rest of the party settles behind him, Junius inhales deeply, holds his breath, and approaches the rancid smelling door. Gripping the cross-beam and sliding it out of its locked position causes the door to fly open, knocking Junius backwards!

Literally hundreds of dead kobold bodies, in varies stages of decomposition, immediately spill into the hallway! The dwarf, from his backside, looks into the room and sees a ceiling-high pile of dead kobolds as the continue to avalanche into the corridor, filling the entire area with a horrific smell.

The loud sound of barking dogs and goblin chatter in the distance are enough proof that this event has captured some unwanted attention.

Tentacle Threat
At Vernon's prompting, Junius fights his way through the kobold-filled passage and rushes towards the set of double-doors. Hearing the rest of the group scrambling to follow his lead, the dwarf grabs hold of the leftmost door and pulls it open.

The door opens into a voluminous chamber... which smells of mildew or some other blight. The vaulted ceiling reaches at least 20-feet from the floor, supported by at least two large stone columns which flank the entrance about 20-feet into the chamber.

The walls just beyond the door angle out at 45-degree angles and are decorated with murals depicting various goblin successes. The sound of running water echoes off these angled walls which appear to extend beyond the current range of the dwarf's vision from his vantage point at the entrance.

Between the two columns, a large, many-legged creature with a face full of tentacles towers over the fallen form of a victim donning the cloaks of the Brighton Wardens. Fear grips at you as this abomination interrupts its feast and begins to scurry towards you from the darkness; it's odd tentacles wiggling and reaching for you as it advances!

Beyond this impending threat, at the very end of Junius' vision, some sort of round structure appears to exist deeper into the chamber.


Outside the chamber, the loud sound of barking dogs and goblin chatter continue, and appear to be drawing closer.

"These Brighton guys really suck at fighting" says Canun to nobody in particular. He wonders if the dead kobolds are the cause of the fetid water.

He pulls two flasks of oil from his pack and spreads the contents at the T-junction so that the party members are on one side and the approaching enemy is on the other. He will light the oil if they sound like they are getting close enough to strike (he will err on the side of caution).

2 pints oil deducted

During your previous studies and training, the combination of those of you that have heard of this beast believe it to have been created by a giant maggot... and that it's tentacles are rumored to be extremely dangerous.

"I'm surrounded by morons!" grouses Horatio. "They hear one enemy coming, so they go looking for another!" He resorts to his best—and often only—option when things go nipples-up: he looks for a place to hide.

Attempt to hide in shadows.

~~~~

Keebler quickly weighs his options. Attempt to put this one creature to sleep, or save it for the goblins that sound to be approaching? It had better be now, he decides. With the cranky cleric pouring oil behind them, forward may be the only path. He needs to survive this enemy before worrying about the next.

Tentacled Terror, Part II
Junius looks to flee from the roughly 4-foot tall and 9-foot long creature resembling a giant grub, but the conjested hallway behind him presents an issue. Canun, at the rear of the group, has coated the kobold carcasses and the hallway in the unexplored direction with oil, and is prepared to light it should a new threat introduce itself.

Rainey, whom has a better view with his positioning on the side of the open door, urges Keebler to hold his spell. The arcane caster hurls his 'Sleep' spell at the approaching abomination... which causes it to crash to the floor before it's able to reach the front of the group still "stuck" at the entrance.


Inside the chamber, from behind the now sleeping maggot creature, a rapid but gentle padding sound is heard over what is almost a sloshing sound... where a second fat grub with multifaceted eyes and a head containing 2-foot long insect-like feelers comes into view and sets its bearing on the group!

Outside the chamber, the loud sound of barking dogs and goblin chatter continue to be heard still somewhere not too far ahead, but appear to have stopped advancing.

Since you both have the same capability, I would much rather burn the spell of a NPC and let the player (e.g. Zhym) keep theirs.
