Game Master for this session was Charles Plemons.
After the previous encounter, the team was low on spells and badly injured. They used their last healing spells, and Claude created several web shelters for them to set up camp. Meanwhile, Edonna scried the real Pink Lady and saw she was bound and in a camp guarded by koopas, including a new variation with a black they had not yet encountered, and goombas. They set rotating shifts, and through the night enemy patrols came nearby but did not stumble upon them. Khesen spotted a skeletal koopa marching with a patrol, and its allies seemed to give it a wide berth.
The group moved into a large room, again comprised entirely of blue square stone tiles. Two bright yellow mystery blocks sat upon tiers of blue bricks, and a single green Warp Pipe stood in a corner. Five bob-ombs roamed around the room. They were small round bomb-shaped black creatures with bright yellow feet, a burning fuse, bright white eyes, and a bright yellow wind-up key in their backs.
Claude cast a Bogg’s cinderball and hit several of the bob-ombs. The team tried to move in and discovered thwomps, massive spikey square stone blocks with scowling faces, guarding the door smashing down on everything passing through! When the team got near the bob-ombs, the clockwork constructs released powerful explosive blasts! The team sustained lots of damage from the overlapping bob-omb blasts. Even worse, when they did defeat a bob-omb, it exploded in one final greater explosion!
Khesen made his way up to one mystery block and discovered a fire flower. Activating it allowed him to launch fiery blasts at the bob-ombs. Edonna used her magical boots to leap over to the other mystery block and discover a POW block. She hesitated to use it and instead magically healed Hekera who had collapsed unconscious from the bob-omb blasts. Helg endured a thwomping to come out and heal his team. Bolstered by their cleric, Edonna then activated the POW block. It blasted the remaining bob-ombs to the ground, which killed one! It exploded in its death throes, which then caused a chain reaction killing the other bob-ombs which caused them to explode as well!
In the aftermath of the explosions the team picked themselves up and healed their wounds. They searched the room and found several magical items and treasures and prepared to continue their quest.
