## 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

## 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.

Reya notices that there is a dark shape in the corner-- it's a boggle!

- 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.

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.
[[Creepy wolf creature]]
