The group followed the trail into a hallway and found it had been repaired with wall of stone spells. The trail then led back through the keep into one of the staterooms. They searched it more thoroughly and found a note in Elven saying, “Hold the fort while I am away, I am heading to open the portal.” It then led to a wall and after some searching, they found a secret door! Crimson opened the door and revealed a chamber holding two massive metallic chests!
While trying to detect any magic, Helg accidentally triggered a summoning trap that dropped three babau demons atop the team! The creatures, covered in acidic slime and wielding longspears, tore into the team with a horrifying viciousness. Helg was particularly thrashed by their attacks. The team fought back but found their weapons were very ineffective against the demons’ damage reduction. Helg whipped himself into a bloody frenzy and cast holy smite amongst the demons. Unfortunately, he miscalculated not realizing his allies were all neutrally-aligned. Everyone was hit by the blast, including himself! Although all his allies took some damage, one of the demons was throttled and struck blind! Crimson hit another with a bomb, and Intevar found her new trident was particularly effective against the demons. Helg channeled positive energy and healed his allies, undoing the damage done previously. Hekera struck down one of the demons, and it disappeared in a puff. The team braced themselves and squared up against the remaining demons!
