Komo cast dispel magic on the illusion causing the floating hand of Bane and the dwarf to disappear. Also, the altar appeared somewhat smaller. Jiraiya walked up and inspected it, finding it to be a heavy black stone with some rusty colored dried substance atop it. Helg flew around behind and found several levers labeled “Floor” and “Altar.” The floor lever disabled all the pressure plates and harpoons! The altar lever opened a secret compartment revealing a black metal mace detecting of evocation magic! The team then searched the room and found a secret door in the corner where their map indicated they needed to still go despite the obstructing wall. Opening the door, they found a short chamber with a far wall painted like a glowing blue door with an “S” sigil and three slashes. Helg knocked on the door, and it transformed into an arch leading into Ludovic Snerd’s Dynamic Delving Supplies!
The proprietor, Ludovic Snerd, is a bucktoothed blue-haired gnome and shrewd merchant. He provided them with five tressym magically shrunken and held in stasis in metallic vials with glass windows. They tucked these away for safekeeping. They asked him about the magical mace, he ran some tests, and he revealed it to be a +2 mace of darkness capable of producing deeper darkness effects thrice per day. They looked around the shop and asked what useful things he could sell them. He pulled a tarp off a fine piece of siege weaponry! He offered to sell them a +1 light ballista of piercing for the low price of 10,000 gp! Helg convinced him to sell it for that price but also magically shrink it so they can easily transport it. He did so and told them to soak the magical patch in milk to restore the weapon.
The group left Snerd’s and heading back down the hallway where they ran into a trio of cildabrin, a pair of driders, and two giant funnel-web spiders! Edonna cast blessing of fervor while the foes cast spike stones and silence! Using metamagic, the team was still able to utilize some magic while part of the team tried to move through the spikes and slashed their feet! Jiraiya made an amazing leap and cleared the spikes entirely! The team’s front line brought it to a cildabrin that Neko had burned with scorching ray. The hideous arachnid was slain while the spiders missed with their webs and bites. One drider cast a lackluster fireball while another cast slow on the team. Finally, another cildabrin activated a second spike stones effect to hinder more movement options!
Will the team rally and defeat the spider monsters or become their next meal?
