# [[064_20220927 Bachelor - the spider edition]] ## Session Summary > [!tldr] [[064_20220927 Bachelor - the spider edition]] > Reya climbed first up the trapdoor. In the first floor, she found a lone boggle that we initially tried to talk to, but which ended up disappearing and escaping from us. Reya scouted the next room up and found a *Grimoire of Tigris Euphorbos* and a spider named *Keekeekookook* that I cast *Speak with animals* on. Xenia found a hidden staircase. I asked the spider to go downstairs and tell me what was there, but all he said was "stairs and darkness". He also told me he wanted a mate. > > Xenia cast *Alarm* on the trapdoor and we took a short rest in the room, within our *Tiny Hut*. Then we headed off downstairs to explore a torchlit underground cave system. We found some boggles, mold that poisoned Wally, and some wolf-like creatures in a large cavern, eating something. ^summary --- ## Recap ![[063_20220920 The hag that Wally kissed#^summary]] --- ## Log Vigilant Blessing on Reya and she climbs up first. There is [[Boggle]] oil on the rungs of the ladder but Reya is dexy! She pushes open the trapdoor, which had something heavy on it, and made a loud noise as some furniture that was on the trapdoor was pushed aside. ![[twc-caes-mosor-level1.png]] Reya notices that there is a dark shape in the corner-- it's a boggle! - Round 1 - Reya - Rapier + Booming Blade. 13 damage. - Me - Sacred Flame - Wally grapples the boggle - Milla holds a Firebolt - Boggle - Releases some oil and tries to attack Wally, but fails! The oil is sticky. - Milla's Firebolt is triggered. It has cover and the firebolt misses. - Xenia - Helps Wally - Round 2 - Reya: Repositions to help Wally - Me: Fails to investigate anything - Wally: Makes the strength saving throw. Drags it to the shaft and tries to throw it off but fails! - Milla: - Boggle: Escapes Wally's grapple and does 8 points of bludgeoning damage to Wally. Does a dimensional tear and escapes to the bottom. Dammit, we were foiled by a freaking boggle. Xenia sees that there is a wall that is about 3 foot high underneath the stairs. The wall seems off. Xenia finds out that the wall is an illusion. Inside is a short passageway that leads to a short stairway going down. Xenia casts *Alarm* by the trap door. It will last 8 hours. Reya sneaks off ahead. This floor looks like a sitting room or library. There are books and furniture, a desk, but they are ruined. To the southeast side there are broken desks. She finds a secret compartment in the desk. She finds one book inside it that is in pristine condition. *[[Grimoire of Tigris Euphorbos]]*. Reya finds me a spider called *[[Keekeekookook]]* and I try to send him (it's a male) downstairs but he just reports steps and dark. He has 300 brothers and sisters. He thinks Reya is "spider friend". I cast *Vigilant Blessing* on Wally and *Guidance* on Xenia. Xenia looks through the Grimoire and he sees a small scrawl that says *The rings are the key*. He doesn't know whose grimoire this was though. Short rest in the *Tiny Hut*! Xenia uses *Manifest Mind* down the stairs. There's more light here. It's like an underground passageway. It's torchlit - It goes straight and to a passageway that forks off. - It goes right, and there is a T-junction. One goes left and one goes right at a straight angle. ![[twc-caes-mosor-two-floors.png]] We follow the spectral mind of Xenia. We come across a large calendar with humanoid bones. There's a wolf-type creature gnawing on bones - we're seeing it from behind. We shuffle back up the passageway and take another way. We find large footprints of boggles. Reya makes quick work of them and we go a different way. Xenia goes to some mold and *Wally* gets poisoned for an hour. Because I found footprints leading to the wolf den, we went down there. We see a wolf-like thing with blood pouring down its face.
