GAME NOTES

At our start location, we examine the fresco of Dwarves above the tub and discover one of the dwarves is actually a little key Dwarf. We also take loot from the table, then head north towards where we expect Harria & the Undertakers to be.

Harria, her golem & the Undertakers

We enter a large room with a throne made of bones with arms that look like snakes.  The main room has a wyvern skeleton among shattered glass/crystal.  Enthralled with the bone-throne, Jitters examines it and notices a hidden hinge on the seat.  He lifts the seat and the snake-arms bite and poison him.  Mira applies healing and Jitters tries to detect magic.  There is none except the snake arms.

Arin listens to the western door and hears snoring.  Gimbal sneaks across the room to listen at the northern and northwest doors; he hears nothing at the first but at the northwest door he hears voices that sound like they are betting at cards.  "Jasper" is mentioned.

Gimbal picks the snorer’s door lock and peeks around the corner to see a Flesh Golem.  The flesh golem comes to life and immediately makes for Gimbal as we hear sounds of waking from beyond it.

The party poured it on; Arin with Guiding Bolts Gimbal with sneak attacks and Jitters summoning a ghost. Arin and Ceol both get moderately wrecked by the monster despite it taking lots of damage from Gimbal's flaming arrows. The poker-playing Undertakers heard the commotion and rush to help, but Jitters blasted them with an ice-storm that effectively held them in place. Harria also joined the fight but despite yelling several times, she never did figure out "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!?!"

In the end, the golem fell to Gimbal's bow, and Harria surrendered rather than face Jitters' ghost. When Ceol tried to bind Harria she balked. Despite assurances of safety vs death, she tried to launch into some soliloquy so Ceol finished her.

In the main chamber, Jitters' ghost kills one of the immobile Undertakers, and the rest surrender and are bound by Ceol.  They have little information.  They do not know how to get to Level Two and they are unclear on how Harria "captured" a wandering flesh golem.

We release the remaining four Undertakers and take a Short Rest.

northern 1st_Level

To the north of the wyvern chamber we find a hall of statues covered with webs and with the bodies of three dead giant spiders riddled with crossbow bolts. Gimbal lights the webs with his flaming bow, revealing double doors to the east at the end of a long row of statues.

Jitters sends Flappers to examine the pockmarked columns and the rusty armor. The columns' pockmarks are where gems were removed. The rusty armor is falling in on itself.

We head south a ways, and Gimbal finds a secret door hiding a copper throne and a copper Dwarven helm, -both covered in cobwebs. Behind another, non-secret with "Contestants" written on it Ceol finds hundreds of assorted skulls. Jitters loves this part of 1st_Level.

We go north from the pockmarked columns to find an Undertaker's corpse with a scimitar, empty money pouch & light crossbow. The wretch appeared to die from a spider bite. Back to the warrior statue / spiderweb room; to the south a dusty, cobwebby armory full of shit weapons and a broken sharpening wheel.

To the north, we find a room with a domed ceiling with sizzling acid pooled in it. An 8' four-armed statue of a sahuagin stands in the middle of the room holding a black box with a keyhole. Jitters uses his mage hand to unlock the box with the Dwarven Key, but we can't see the contents.

Jitters uses his mage hand to put Ceol's' rope over the statue. With Arin's' help, Ceol pulls the statue down, freeing the box. The box is covered in black velvet with red embroidery depicting a heart with flames. Inside it is lined with thin lead and contains the withered gold-encrusted heart of a tiefling. Ceol promptly turns the body part over to Jitters.

Jitters uses his detect magic and determines that this Gold Tiefling Heart emanates strong necromancy magic which thrills him.
