GAME NOTES

Everyone except Ceol is in sewer room with glowing sahuagin statue and where an ooze was recently defeated. The statue's head is on backwards, but turning it did not do anything. The main Party gave up due to stinky water and lack of progress.

After a brief hallway standoff, the main Party met Ceol and all agreed to adventure together especially given that he has no money to ascend back up the well

Together we head west through known rooms to an unexplored area to the northwest & investigate a room full of take out bags and trash. Jitters casts detect magic, but the trash is just trash. However, the spell does discover a hallway full of mirrors 5 of which have illusion magic on them. When investigated, the first pair spawn a shadow Jitters when viewed by him. This monster is easily killed with 1 flaming arrow from Gimbal.

Thinking to sneak past the mirrors, Gimbal tried to use the "invisibility arch" but is seriously injured instead and remains visible.

Ceol tries the hallway and spawns 5 shadow Ceols who are largely immune to his spear attacks. Worse, their attacks drain his strength and things look pretty grim until Arin destroys them all and the mirrors too with a storm of lightning bolts from Istishia. A Golden Mask falls out of a hidden niche and is collected. The party took a short rest in the trash room where Ceol's muscles re-flate.

Next we opt for the secret door on the northeast off the wellevator lobby, and soon discover a large room with statues of 3 previous lords of Waterdeep. Jitters sent in Flappers to do some recon, but he was killed and that really pissed of Jitters. Gimbal shot an arrow into a misty hallway and heard it hit home. This caused 9 angry "vampires" to enter the room and demand a payment of gold to be allowed to live.

The vampires do a musical-theater dance routine, calling themselves the "Undertakers." Unimpressed, Jitters promptly froze 3 with a blast of ice & frost, and hurting the leader. Ceol put some holes in the Undertaker boss as well, and then Arin shot a bolt of holy fury at the boss and missed. Mira tried to intimidate them but failed.

Gimbal missed the vampire boss with his flaming arrow as did Ceol when he tried to grapple the slippery vampire who squirms out. Jitters again blasts the leader with a spell and subdues him. , and subdues him.

INTERROGATION of Uktarl - We learn that the boss is named Uktarl (ooktarl) and he is the recently deposed leader of the Undertakers. He quickly gives up Harria, his ex-girlfriend; definitely a bad breakup and Uktarl is both angry at and simping out on her.

Per Uktarl, Harria has 11 Undertakers and "a monster" with her and he saw the Drow Assassin go her way. He's unconvincing and obv. wants us to make him look good in front of his ex and the gang. Instead, we bind & gag him and stash him in the closet near the well room.

We ran into another group of 6 Undertakers, and got them to surrender without a fight. We let them leave with their money and tell them where to collect Uktarl if they want to take him with them. We take a SHORT REST in the Undertakers barracks.
