Burning Witch Adventurers Session #19- A Platinum and Sapphire Chalice **Updated**

Hate Pit's player Marie drew the vatspawn ex-gladiator showing off the flower that blessed them during the Festival of Flowers.

As the Festival of Flowers comes to an end, the conversations at the common tables of the Burning Witch return to their usual topic of late: delves into the underworld known as "The Complex". There was much excitement around the prospect of investigating Level 3 (including some plans being hatched) as the group took in the community maps shared among the adventurers at the Witch. Protests to not overlook Level 2 easily prevailed and the group shifted their focus. Plans of visiting the black fruit vines or a room filled with wooden statues near the "Red Hive" could be heard still being hashed out as has the following party headed out of the Burning Witch on the latest delve:

• Abraxis (Level 1 Mutant Fighter)
• Castora (Level 1 Knight)
• Ur-Kel (hireling Level 1 Vatspawn Fighter)
• Hate Pit (Level 1 Vatspawn)
• Banx (hireling Level 1 Illusionist)
• Journeyman Crannoc (Level 2 Magic-User)
• PakPak (Level 2 Kobold)
• Phasmo (Level 2 Magic-User)

Abraxis' player Sean drew the parties' only treasure for the night, a platinum and sapphire chalice, bathed in golden light before a statue in a cavern filled with a micro-jungle of black vegetation.

Castora's player Curtis drew what Phasmo named "Shadow Monkeys" being terrorized by a Hate Pit who had taken on the properties of water.

PakPak's player Rob drew the aforementioned "Shadow Monkeys".

The party returned with a valuable chalice their only treasure (which they promptly sold to the Rani via Merdinus). Crannoc's clothes bore the signs of great injury yet the magic-user looked only slightly worse for wear. Crannoc' fellow member of the Transcendental Congress and roommate, Phasmo, scratched at bug bites picked up somewhere between initiating and ending the groups delve.

After the loot was divided up, Banx took Ur-Lek out carousing to show the new adventuring hireling the ropes. The pair tore through Orm, though it seem the rookie fared better than the pro. Regardless, at some point  the pair were caught in a riot that broke out in the square around the Monument of the Gods (no one knows what started it or why it happened). When the hirelings were next seen, the pair were wearing matching bands- Banx and Ur-Kel are now partners for life.
