# [[111_20231114 Come closer to Uncle Jelly]]
## Session Summary
> [!tldr] [[111_20231114 Come closer to Uncle Jelly]]
> Scura woke everyone up and we all fought two Gem Jellies and two cockroach swarms that had begun to settle near the Tiny Hut. The Gem Jellies were particularly brutal, and would harden into a crystalline form before shattering into a deadly explosion. One of them escaped back through the cracks, while the other was ultimately killed by Xenia. The cockroach swarms were annoying but not too lethal.
>
> After an uneventful long rest in the Hut, we continued towards the city of Vuthos. We got to a lava dam where a sluice drained parts of the lava. Some of us climbed up onto one of the chains and walked along it, while the rest of us either flew or Misty Stepped up to the top of the dam. ^summary

Nika's shadow is braiding her hair while she's sleeping, wtf. All I know is it's not from the Shadowfell. ^b19c82

*Pass without trace.*
We see an [[Vuthos#The Lava Sluice|enormous metal sluice]].
![[twc-vuthos-sluice.png]]
Right at the top on the left hand side is a gigantic wheel. It's about 10 feet in diameter. There are rungs that go all the way to the top. Six foot wide. EVerything's scaled up. There's a chain, with each link being five feet wide, on either side. It looks like it is connected to the flow of a paddle that switches the flow of lava from one tunnel to the other. Right now, there's lava on the left.
Looks like the whole dam could be opened.
