Burning Witch Adventurers Session #53- FUBAR *UPDATED*

 GaWoosh the gnome desired to return to the Basalt Mausoleum on Level 3 of 'The Compex.' His tales the riches pulled from one of the sarcophagi reeled a few other adventurers from the Burning Witch into a plan to return to the Mausoleum. Just as the party was preparing to launch their expedition, a rookie member remembered he had some pressing business to attend to. Riverborn Scamandros, seeing the opening, offered to join. He promised to meet up with the group as soon as he collected his equipment and his apprentice from the Athenaeum. As the following party left, headed north towards the ruin of Orm-of-Old, it seemed apparent to on lookers that while GaWoosh remember the treasure collected from the Basalt Mausoleum clearly, his recollection of its dangers were hazier...:

  • Dogmouth (Level 3 Thief)
    • Sonja Strong (Level 1 Fighter hireling)
  • GaWoosh (Level 3 Gnome)
    • Tome Berry (Level 1 "magic-user" hireling), rendered witless
  • Scamandros (Level 4 Magic-User)
    • Kiddo (Level 3 Magic-User retainer)
  • Thea Noir (Level 4 Assassin)

Below is a recounting from GaWoosh's player Curtis of the events that occurred (coming soon- your DM).








When the party returned, Dogmouth and GaWoosh both appeared sapped of some of the vitality they once had. Tome Berry was stricken with the same malady that has now counts among its victims a Valtropis, the feather beast Plumes, and Carabas the Midnight Marauder. The party possessed not new plunder from the Basalt Mausoleum or any other part of 'The Complex' outside of a soggy half-eaten sandwich and a frozen pail of mat gray paint. Scamandros could be seen carry a note to this associates Journeyman Crannoc and Phasmo. Thea Noir and GaWoosh, who had left the Burning Witch together, were later seen visisting the gnomes of Golden Goggles.

Sonja Strong wandered off to forget a troubling adventuring experience in a healthy dose of reckless carousing. The 111th Company member was overheard sharing the bleak fates of fellow guild members including Tome Berry's new aliment and the 200gp bounties the Sorcerer-King Valtropis is offering for straggling members of the Midnight Marauders' raiding party. When all is said and done, Sonja invested in a stack of war bonds issued by the Rani for some upcoming offensive. The hireling is contemplating a retirement from the adventuring life once she has a nest egg. Over half of her fellow guild members are no longer in service in a year of delves. She doesn't like those odds.

Epilogue- GaWoosh and Thea Noir Visit Golden Googles


GaWoosh and Thea approached GaWoosh's gnomish cousins with a pair of items they sought to discover the secrets of. GaWoosh presents a iron plate covered in mystical writing. After the casting of a few spells, the gnomes reveal that the plate functions similarly to a Scroll of Protection From Magic. Thea, on the other hand, presents a platinum ring polished to a mirror-like reflectiveness. A casting of read magic on the inscription inside the band revealing that the power words, "Sep Su Co," can be uttered to cause the ring to reflect a spell back towards its caster. The ring functions like a Ring of Spell Turning.
