Session 115: An Ooze, Foul Decay, and the Cry of an Angel

Feno, Niki, Kyro, Gnorcia, and Chalboi went east down the hallway and found a room with ornate, silver-plated decorations on burial chamber doors.

We began to search and found nothing but dust until an ooze-like creature appeared out from gaps between the chambers, using a psuedopod to attack Kyro, burning him like acid and causing him a lot of pain. I cast hypnotic pattern but it did nothing against the creature. Chalkboi attacked and killed it with Caliburn, chopping it into pieces. Chalkboi and Nikki then both healed Kyro. The acid seemed to simply slip off the magical weapons used against the slime, as well as Kyro’s armor, though his clothes began to fall apart beneath.

Finishing our search, we found nothing else in the alcoves, and the silver decorations appear not to be removable without extensive work. We explored a hallway to the north, finding a room we had been in before, with decomposing bodies that were pinned to the wall. We quickly closed the door to close-off the smell, and went back to investigate another door to the south, discovering it was a hallway we had previously explored, where we had an encounter with the Band of the Black hand.

We then closed all the doors and Kyro, Feno, and Chalkboi used sledgehammers to break down a brick wall on the south wall. As they did, we all heard an inhuman sound from the northwest which both gave us chills and energized us. The sound faded away as the wall fell and we peered into a room with more burial alcoves. All of us except Chalkboi then searched the burial alcoves and found a golden holy symbol, silver earrings, and a small topaz. I handed over the golden holy symbol to Chalkboi as it appeared to be a symbol of St. Cuthbert. We put the rest in the bag of holding.

Chalkboi then said of the sound we heard, “That sound seems familiar... I'm pretty sure I've heard that as an angelic voice from one of St. Cuthbert's servants.” We decided to go north and chose to take our chances against vomiting by going through the putrid room up the hallway. We all held our noses and ran through the putrid room with the decomposing bodies, making it safely through without anyone getting sick.
