It's well-balanced and he controls it. He's stronger than us both! - We go down the stairs. There are no traps! - Tall figure! - ![[Pasted image 20230119173848.png]] - ![[Pasted image 20230119173904.png]] - There are brown shields on the side, mounted to the walls. About 4 or 5 on each side. - Micho shoots one of the shields down with an excellent hit. As it does, it shudders and its arms start to move. We hatch a plan! - Micho throws black grease in front of [[The Guardian Below]]. - Round 1 - Micho's bolt misses and bounces off it. - It starts to move towards Micho. It isn't fazed by the grease. - I activate the *magic dampener*. - Round 2 - Micho runs up the stairs and goes next to me. - Ekon hits it for 10 damage! - I try to hit it but miss. - Round 3 - It tries to hit Ekon and misses. - I run around the well to try and lure it to the hand. - Ekon hits it for 2. - It hits Ekon. - Round 4 - It acts first! Misses Ekon. - Micho hits it for 8. - Ekon hits it for 12. (now -32) Cuts off one of the thing's arms. - Big hand comes up out of the water and grabs the thing!!! It pulls it into the well. The thing is nowhere to be found!!! We go back down to the room the thing was guarding!! 10 round shields on the walls. They have wooden inlaid. They have heraldic knights' icons. I take one; Val takes three. The rest of the room ends in an inky darkness. Don't know what's there! I threw a coin in and didn't hear the end of it. To the right is a ledge that goes around the abyss. By the ledge is a staircase going down to the left. Solid stone. On the left is *nothing.* Scary. We make our way down. The stone to our side is processed stone. We move around in a circle. The stairs curve slightly. Eventually the stairs end. We used 1 lamp oil to get here. Need to save one to get back out! We are on a landing. Stairwell ends at a landing. To our right is a large door bolted with a heavy bar across. Doors are leading into the right. Door would open toward us. There are two handles that seem to be movable. There's a hole on the side of the door in the wall. When we peer in, there is a metal construction. The things holding up the bar seem like they might move up. Micho puts the pole into the hole. It goes in deeper than he thought. There's a *kachunk* and a grinding sound from the door. A much smaller door slides open next to it. Bright yellowish light comes out of it. It's a hidden door. ![[Pasted image 20230119193950.png]] One or two sessions more to go. %% Samuel has been playing [[Brindlewood Bay]] which is a mystery game where you play elderly women. %%
