Session 24 - Inside Skull's Crossing

Wealday Lamashan 30 around 4PM

There were two entrances into the Dam, one was damage and had been repaired and both were barred from the inside. They decided to go to the one that hadn't been damaged. Phain used the gauntlet's power to Stone Shape and warped the door enough to get the bar off the inside. The started to investigate inside and found one room crumbling away and most of the room overgrowing with some sort of viney moss. In the main room they were ambushed by trolls. Using their knowledge of trolls, they used fire to combat their regeneration and defeated them with some injuries. Preacher healed them up with some channels and they headed down the stairs which had writing in giant saying “BELOW DWELLS WET PAPA GRAZUUL! ALL HAIL WET PAPA GRAZUUL!”

Heading down the stairs cautiously, it lead to a room with a large pool of water. Xantumal conjured a water elemental and it was quickly killed by Papa Grazuul, a water troll. Phain used an acid arrow to combat its regeneration and they defeated the scrag before it could hurt them too much.

They found the control room on the level and it contained to circular rune, one containing a devil, and the other containing a pile of ash. Khazen used comprehend languages and spoke with the devil. It was almost dead, but told them information on promise to be released. The dam used life energy to function, and the other devil had succumed to the drain about 50 years before, the last time the dam was needed. Xantumal summoned another elemental into the other rune and it killed the devil, but lowered the water level.

Having aborted catastrophy in the area, the party decided to find a place to rest, then head to Fort Rannick in the morning.
