Ox ---> Tiger Campaign Session #11

 

Session 11-  Reconsidering the Golden Barge and Re-entering the 

    Glittering Tower

2/6/2022

• Fecus recons the Golden Barge, discovering carefully constructed 

  pyramidal stacks of humanoid bones on the foredeck, to either side 

  of the entrance

• Fecus returns to inform the party of the info he gathered.  Fecus 

  and Tim deliberate the merits and dangers of exploring the Golden 

  Barge.  Just as they’re resolving to check the Barge out, a figure in 

  red runs out of the entrance closely followed by 3 translucent figures.

• The figure in red, a human man wearing red armor, sees the party and 

  calls to them for help.  The 3 translucent figures have weapons and 

  are trying to capture and possibly harm the man.

• Baldwin, Lardikus and Hedviga run towards the man and translucent 

  figures (ghuls) to defend the man (a soldier named Mordcant the Blue)

• Combat with the figures result in all 3 of the ghuls getting injured, with 

  2 escaping and the last getting captured and interrogated.  Based on 

  the info the party receive from the ghul, the party decide to leave 

  exploring the Golden Barge for later.

• The party decide to jog down the beach towards the Glittering Tower.

• The party enter the dungeon through the Sea Cave and discover the 

  “Whiskey Tea” is gone.

• They proceed to dungeon room #1 and choose to explore room #2 

• Room #2 contains a mimic/chest.  The mimic is defeated and treasure 

  is recovered from the chest.

• In room #3, the party sift through many fragile, brittle scrolls with many 

  disintegrating before Geoff finds an intact ESP scroll that he gives to Tim

• The party enter the tunnel leading to 

• Room #10 where Hedviga is burned on hot pipes

• In room #9, the party encounter 2 crystalline turtle guardians that power 

  up to shoot lightning towards the party.  The party attack and disable the 

  turtle guardians.  Baldwin and Hedviga deliver the killing blows to the turtle 

  guardians.  The party discover a trap door between the turtle guardians that 

  leads to 

• Room #14.  A door to the north leads to an east-west passage.

• The party explore the eastern portion of the passage, which is cloaked in 

  unnatural darkness.  First Tim throws the puppy Screwie into the darkness 

  then hauls him back, then he sends Geoff into the darkness and Geoff reports 

  there is a pit in the darkness.  A grappling hook is implemented to cross the pit 

  and the party discover the east-west passage intersects a tunnel that the party 

  had taken to rooms #9 and #10.

• Tim asks Geoff to explore the pit.  The party belay Geoff and Screwie down the
