We moved up into the room where the flies were and Myrtle Dixon noticed something written on the wall: “Not finished come back later” near a hidden latch. I checked for traps and opened it, finding a goblin picking his nose. Clearly he needs a new, heavy labor assignment.
We moved in further and opened a door up to the left. The door itself was kind of sticky gross, and when we opened it two blood spiders rushed at us. One immediately latched on to me and as soon as i started bleeding the other attacked me as well, but the group cut them down quite quickly. Tatiana explained to us that the blood spiders apparently aren’t poisonous but act more like spider sharks. Whatever that means.
We entered the spider room, following Arnd, who slashed through the webs toward a bricked-up wall/doorway to the west. As we got there, suddenly Lhoss appeared and got stuck in some webs for a moment. Arnd, Kyro, Armaziti, and I started bashing the brick wall and pretty soon had it broken down. Inside we could see an ornate fountain of blue water, with some words written on it. Lhoss and I snuck around the room checking the floors and walls.
The words on the fountain said “Pay your due”. A few of us threw in some coins and suddenly two enormous and angry-looking water elementals appeared. Maybe they should have been more specific about what the due was. They were very difficult to hit and appeared quite formidable. Arnd and I attacked but then I chose to back up, allowing Lhoss to get behind it and attack, finally doing some damage. Armaziti cast his “command” spell and said “Retreat!” and the one in front of him turned to retreat! Arnd smacked it just before I cast Mesmerize and they were both mesmerized, allowing Armaziti to blast through them both, destroying them and washing the floor as they fell. As we left the room, Tatania wrote “Band of the Black Hand, toss coins in the fountain” on the wall. It could work. They seem pretty dumb.
We moved back out and down to the room below. Pausing there and closing the doors, Tatania, Lhoss, Armziti, and I memorized spells. We then opened the door to the west and discovered a room full of burial alcoves, with a portcullis closed down on the north wall and a hallway behind it that we couldn’t see clearly in the dark. We searched the room and found a bunch of gold coins and a golden statuette. Then, working together, we lifted the portcullis and entered the hallway behind it, opening the first door we found on the right. Inside we found burial boxes which we searched and found a lot of electrum.
Back in the hallway, Armaziti discovered yet another hidden latch on the wall and used it to open a doorway with stairs behind it, going down. We all moved forward and down the stairs where we found ourselves in another hallway.
