The team traveled further through the caverns beneath the Forbidden City getting close to what they hoped would be the yuan-ti temple district. They met up with a dinosaur-riding mongrelfolk paladin named Herezis, and he joined them on their quest. They came upon a chamber that was dark but loud. A waterfall cascaded down into a shadowy chasm. The adventuring party estimated it plunged a few hundred feet into the darkness. Strange purple stones were embedded in the cavern walls. The chasm splitting the chamber was crossed by a single wooden bridge. A smaller chamber opened to the north, and a pool of calm water rested within. A large mound filled with sickly green insect eggs sat on the far side of the chamber.
Ugly giants moved about the chamber, apparently trying to harvest the eggs. They were all smeared with some kind of liquid or goo. Several were ogres, vicious, stupid, man-eating brutes. Some carried slings and others crude axes. Towering over all the rest was a massive, deformed giant. Its limbs were twisted and misshapen, and it had one terrible eye that was much larger than the other. It wore no armor and carried an enormous club. Faintly, barely audible over the crash of water, was a clacking and chittering sound seemingly coming from holes and fissures in the rocks, ceiling, and floor.
The giants looked at the pile of barely edible eggs. Then they looked at the group. They smiled hungry smiles.
Ursay launched a barrage of arrows at the nearest ogres, and Adeline enhanced herself with magic. The fomorian doomcaller leapt across the yawning chasm and thrashed about with its greatclub. Its evil eye was staggering and sickening, affecting some of the team with its baleful gaze.
Callum cast fiery spells of destruction like scorching ray and fireball but suffered several devastating injuries. Helg used channeling to keep the team bolstered and alive. Snagy rallied the team and eliminated the sickened effect.
Suddenly, large insects skittered out from holes and cracks spraying sticky entangling resin and biting and stinging. They avoided the giants (the team later learned it was due to the goo covering the giants) but accosted the party.
Adeline killed the fomorian, and several of the ogres were slain. An ogre ripped the bridge from its moorings and tossed it into the chasm. This was no problem for Herezis, though. He charged and enlarged his lance, spearing the giant! Snagy and Stingy flew across the chasm, and soon the team had mopped up the monsters. The insects settled down, and the team looted the bodies.
They then explored the northern chamber with the pool of water. A beautiful fey creature emerged, healed half the party and disappeared.
