Game Master for this session was Charles Plemons.
Ursay quaffed another potion of invisibility and scouted ahead. He discovered a strange room where his darkvision worked, but he could see torches burning on the wall but casting no light. He saw a short bridge and creatures moving in shadows. He slinked back, and Komorebi was able to make out just enough in the journal to learn the more light brought into the room, the darker it would get!
The team slipped in and tried to dispel the darkness effect, but it withstood the abjuration. Herezis and Skree ended up across the bridge trying to engage the yuan-ti while Komorebi inspired his allies. A great red-and-purple-scaled elder serpent rose up from the darkness and cast spike stones, making it difficult for the team to maneuver. It placed it strategically to not really impede its allies. The yuan-ti flourisher feinted Skree and hit him with several sneak attacks, but the mongrelfolk dished out heavy blows of his own. Although unable to charge, Herezis still brought down the hardy yuan-ti.
Callum polymorphed into a small water elemental so he could see in the darkness. Komorebi had a clever idea and cast break enchantment, dismissing the darkness effect. As the heat from the pits of coals and torches on the wall hit them, they realized not only did light turn to dark in the room’s effect, but fire produced cold! With proper order restored, the elder serpent cast fireball and hit half the team. The bridge fell with Ursay atop it. He crashed into the pit of fiery coals and was badly burned. He quickly scrambled out.
The melee yuan-ti were defeated leaving only a pair of writhebow cultists and the elder serpent, all of whom started falling back toward a corridor. The team put up pursuit with Helg casting a string of buffing spells before siding up to Skree and granting him a heal. The elder serpent cast spell after spell to hamper the party’s movement including floor of fire, doom fog, and mud pit. The group painfully pursued it, with Herezis and Skree getting bit multiple times. Fortunately these mighty warriors shook off the virulent poison. They both landed devastating hits, and firing blindly, Ursay landed a few powerful arrow shots. Komorebi and Callum went on a spree of dispelling magical effects until Skree was able to line up a charge on the snake and cut it down!
The group looted the corpses, examined an obelisk dedicated to Cthulhu, and Helg discovered a secret door! They debated a few moments but decided to press on rather than seek a place to rest and recover.
